[Analysis] Deltarune - Actions Speak Louder Than Words

*These were originally meant to be simple notes which explains their structure, I just ended up writing so much it became more of a character analysis, so I decided to post it* Both Kris and Susie understand and believe that actions speak louder than words.  Susie is not swayed by any of Ralsei's attempts to get her to act more like a hero, instead she goes off to Lancer who shows he accepts and appreciates her style, thanking her for helping him be a better "bad guy" and incorporating what she taught him into his next appearence.  Later, Susie is not able to be reasoned with by Lancer, instead, what snaps her out of her anger is the fact he starts to stand there and take it instead of hurting her. By seeing that his actions show he really means what he says, she ends up not having the heart to go through with it and gives up.  Susie is swayed by these actions, not anyone's words, to decide to listen to Kris/The Player in battle. She has a change of heart and reconsid

[Analysis] Omori - Does Sunny Deserve Forgiveness?

 Biggest Ultra Omega God-Form Giga Super Saiyan Blue Spoilers! DO NOT READ IF YOU HAVEN'T COMPLETED THE GAME!  Filler text so the post preview doesn't give it away: Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consecutor adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod temor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua.

Is his crime so abhorrent that he is unworthy of being forgiven for it, no matter how sorry he is, or how regretful and guilty he feels? Is it more important that he forgive himself, and not ask for forgiveness from others? I'm not asking "will be be forgiven", but "should he?". I c

[Analysis] Omori - The NPCs in Deeper Well

The NPCs of Deeper Well are basically perfectly executed. Much like Stranger, what they are and the context in which they give you their cryptic and philosophical dialogue, makes it incredibly palatable to anyone who would otherwise roll their eyes. Had any other characters tried to say these things, many players would probably deem this game pretentious. Due to their placement, surreal, atmospheric, and unsettling Deeper Well and Black Space, it's easier to accept the nature of their dialogue.  It fits, is basically what I'm saying.  But, what does it mean? While, by design, some might write off what they all say as nonsense. The Stranger in particular has a hostile and slightly antagonistic tone to what he says, easily allowing people to hand wave what he says.  But they do mean something, I hope with this post to make some sense of it. I want to note how much of these appear as if they cryptically refer to things specifically in the dream world, but I think they secretly app

BIG OLD MASSIVE SPOILERS, OBVIOUSLY DON'T READ IF YOU HAVEN'T PLAYED THE GAME The first of a series of analysisess? Analysees? Whatever! on the subject of the indie game Omori, by Omocat. I love this game, am obsessed with it at least for the time being, and I have a lot to say. Hopefully I'll actually make more of these but we'll see! Oh also, in addition to complete unmarked spoilers they also just assume you're familiar with what I'm talking about. I don't want to explain that shit. " He who has a 'why' to live, can bear almost any 'how'." - Friedrich Nietzsche  A young boy stands alone in a white void. Well, not alone. True, someone else is there. His shadow? Some alter ego? The real him? Who knows? But that's not why he's not truly alone. If this is part of himself, then he'd alone. All that's there would be him. But, alone is what he'd been for 4 years. In that same sense, he'd not been; This other him
