I don’t think there was a single way, even had I read that book myself, that I would have been prepared for that scene transition. Truly, an inconvenient time for humanity to be attacked by giant crabs.

Sometimes, you just need an area that has the Thing That Kills You. Or several Things That Kill You, in this case. For better or worse, you’re not going to forget the laser crabs.

To be fair to Voidburger, they did write the line “become my shell” so I think they knew exactly what they were doing with Mysterious Voice.
Also, I had to go and check that bit of dialogue from Trauma Center and it really is very funny:
Content Warning: Gross, Crusty Man
Also, this is from one of the other levels and not the one Chip mentioned, but it’s always been my favorite exchange in this game so I’m including it anyway. Relevance be damned.

Episode #24- The Perfect Whorl (Uncut/Cut)
Kril’s journey ends here, at the Bottom of the Drain. Before him lies the power to change the world. Behind him lie dead kings and crumbling cities. Revelations, betrayals, battles to the death. All this and more on the thrilling conclusion of Another Crab’s Treasure!

Okay yeah what I said at the start but even more so. This game really gets the tone of the Souls game beyond just “world cold and hard.” Like, there was still a lot of that of course. There has to be. But everything about the story and setting is really well thought out and interesting. I think a big part of that is that Kril isn’t a silent protagonist. He’s a very complex little guy and this game wouldn’t have been as good if it were about a quiet crab passively watching things happen around him.
And you know? I think this game might be better than Funny Truck.

UPDATE:
Episode #25-1: The Museum
Episode #25-2: The Voyage To The Corner Of The Globe
Time to wrap up our undersea adventure! First with a trip to the New Carcinia Museum, a comprehensive bestiary with a lot of good flavor text. Then in part 2, we look at various skills, shells, costumes, and easter eggs not seen in the main LP, as well as the Trials Of The Warrior and New Game+.
Thank you to everyone who has watched, liked, commented, etc. This was an absolute blast, and I’m glad I got to show off this incredible game for y’all! There may be a couple extra songs coming down the pike along with a full release of all the music I made for this project, but for now, I hope you enjoy the grand finale, and stay crabby everyone!
