Episode 16: Where We Suddenly Reach the True End of the Game
Preferred Hosts: Rumble, Odysee

It’s time to face the true final boss, shatter the fourth wall beyond all recognition, and save Christmas again. For Realsies.
Now that this game and this LP is over, I think it’s time to sum up my thoughts. In short, I loved it. The setting was fun, the dialogue quirky, the characters charming, and at the risk of being self indulgent, I loved giving them all silly voices. I think I really got Cthulhu’s voice down.
I only really have two complaints. The combat system wasn’t my cup of tea. I had more fun on easy mode than on normal mode, just because it let me get to the story and dialogue faster while breezing through battles. The second downside is that there is a hard stop at the end of NG+. I was hoping we could continue to NG++ and NG+++ and build more R’lyehtionships, but it seems to not be in the cards. That unfortunately makes me unhappy, seeing as I’m a completionist at heart, and I really like the R’lyehtionship dialogue.
For anyone that was playing along, just watching, or has already played this game, what’s your opinion?
With this game suddenly and unexpectedly over, my Wednesday/Friday release slot will be replaced with my next LP: The Spirit Engine 2. Nweissmuller has been requesting that I play that for two years now, and I figure it’s about time to oblige. The first two episodes have already been recorded, and the first one will be released this Friday. Look forward to it, because it is already great so far.
