hello charlotte, not sure if anyone knows, but it was really a special game for me. even though i cant play it now, i still recall a few absolutely devastating lines from it…
unmarked spoilers lol
the fact that charles cant control the House despite being its god and creator being that having lived under his father and mother and their choices affecting him so much and damaging him because of his own views, he still cant escape them even in a heaven of his own creation. im sick. he created a tulpa of scarlett because his mother seemingly valued her aborted daughter more than her own son, his desire for self punishment, the absent father yet still the typical ‘father’ role in the way God the father is viewed…. the fact that umbrella man always looks like charles’ own father and still controls the house in the way a real god would control their world…
umbrella man: “now, im not here for you.”
charles: “right. because you never cared about me anyway.”
(etherane how did you crack this outta my brain)
NOW THE WHOLE FALSE GODS THING in hc2… im crazy
the whole death of vincent KILLED ME. “god of t(his) world”, all the clocks in the house stopping the moment of vincent’s death, the fact that you didnt know him at all, even after his death, the whole religion aspect centered around what charles desperately wanted to believe about his idol, its so magnificent.
dont get me started on the meta elements of puppeteer, player, and story. this was the bane of my existence . the start. how and why i got so hooked onto cell of empireo RIGHT HEREEEE
“it all ended well didnt it? there was nothing to be sad about.” this line. this one line, it broke me for days. if the ending was good, then all that happened before didnt matter? that bitterness that charles had when he reitterated it over and over in his final moments, ill never recover… etherane what did you do to me…
my memory doesnt cover the whole game but i believe one day i can stomach this wonderful piece of art again, just as charles could finally face himself, i hope one day, i can be proud to say that im happy for this life
