I don't know who you are Jasper Byrne, but I think I'm in love. Lone Survivor is a survival horror game. And I'm doing it blind. So if there is a bad ending I fully expect to get it.
Well if you insist on being mysterious, I'm going to call you Skippy.
Title Drop.
OK I skipped the part where he says he doesn't know how long its been since the outbreak, there are monsters, he's running low on supplies and he should find other survivors. Why? Because I want to show you the game!
Because I love this opening sequence. I played this part once before to test the screenshots.
Box Man why are you being shy?
I prefer my espresso to have milk, foam, and chocolate but whatever floats your boat.
The coffee betrays us and takes us to a bad place with monsters. Go back a few posts and this should look familiar. And I apologize for it being dark the monster makes the lights flicker and trying to time it right is impossible.
Pictured: Hiding Mechanic
Not Pictured: The screen flashing red because I fucked up and ran into the monster a couple times.
A bit more walking leads us to his unresponsive person.
Who decided to vanish.
Damn we're still red.
Can do, Skippy.
Box Man?
Did you mean the nap, the drugs, or Box Man's advice? Radio help me out.
DUUUUUUUUUH
That's where I lose keys.
...wat.
Hi future mechanic. We'll meet you later.
Also, as a note, when you look at the shoe, Skippy makes the comment that they aren't his.
This is the key to the front door. Our front door.We couldn't unlock the door without it. I AM SO CONFUSED.
They have a use, I promise. Alas, I don't think the poor fridge will recover. Also of note, the stove is out of gas and we grab the kitty plush. On the floor near the cat plush is a diary entry.
Skippy has something against reading things unless I make him. Skippy's grudge conflicts with my desire to look at ALL the things.
Then use your fancy pants magic to make the zombies disappear!
Heading outside we find a map by our door. And it has an indicator.
WHY DIDNT YOU MENTION THIS WHEN WE LISTENED TO THE RADIO, YOU ARE A BAD FRIEND.
That's not worrisome at all...fuck.
And the use for our rotten meat. The monsters like the meat, we hide, they go past. This note is not from Draco. I'm going to assume it came from Neville.
Well that door to our left is locked, so we have to sneak.
Going into 205...
I AM UNPREPARED ABORT
oooooh. shit.
Alright, we won't do that.
WE. HAVE. BIGGER. PROBLEMS. YOU. DUMB. FUCK.
OH THANK KRONG THIS DOOR WAS UNLOCKED.
I like this guy! Well there's another door in this room let's go in it.
You know what? Fuck the security deposit, let's start trying to break locks.
no...?
THIS WASNT A GOOD IDEA WHEN HENRY TOWNSEND DID IT
aw hell...
You have the same wits as Henry too.
ok this loos bad
This is bad.
what...
No you are not seeing a mistake, this was the order those events happened in. "I'm hungry. Oh hey, I'm out of hell." Also meet the hunger mechanic.
No prizes for guessing what happens.
Well first we loot the room. I find prawn crackers and squid on a stick.
We teleported. This is fairly simple compared to hell.
So you were apathetic about a monster, only mildly weirded out about hell, but teleporting is the no-no?
Damn right.
Anyway the mirrors act as teleportation. A mirror outside will always teleport to your room. The mirror in your room will teleport you to the last mirror you used. We end up in the far end of 205, past the nightmare creature.
He acts like it was a big deal just because I fucked up in the tutorial. I got better!
These stairs down are destroyed so we need to make a big ol' loop to get to the other ones.
Just in case you had doubts about Draco, he's kinda fucked up.
Oh, and 204 is locked.
Anyway, onwards to 203!
It looks so nice.
Expanding our toy collection.
A party! Awesome!
Whose doll? You mean the weird one?
That's what I want to know.
Okey Dokey, but I'm still confused and I highly doubt Skippy will be forthcoming with the answers.
Talking to the other two just makes Skippy yell about the party.
I've got a bad feeling about this...
We gave Chie the doll.
ARGH
So we went from "There's something wrong with you!" to "I don't have a clue what's going on but I'll certainly follow you onto the balcony alone" in 5 seconds flat. Maybe the pill gave us dain bramage.
On the one hand, yay bullets! On the other, I TOLD YOU FUCKING SO.
SON OF A BITCH I KNEW IT.
no, really?
So the night after I played this I saw this scene in my dreams minus main characters. Just these dead bodies on the chairs, creepy ass monsters running around not giving a fuck. It didn't particularly scare me, but it stuck with me.
Alright I get it, you want me to save. In a minute.
Useful! This'll open the locked room in out apartment. And there's a mirror right next to us!
One quick nap later.
Presents! The pill box also tells us the green and blue ones make us duller, while the red ones make us sharper.
Why thank you mysterious box.
Of course it's the room behind the monster.
Your reminder that Draco is a dick.
Well let's head over to 205 and kill a monster. What could be in this room?
Giant scissors? Aw crap, I'm in Clock Tower!
Draco, because Draco.
Anyway back to the other side of the apartment building
Well that was some quick exploration.
Wait a minute, didn't Henry find a spy hole behind his furniture? I AM IN SILENT HILL. OH GOD.
Hush you, it could've been tentacle monsters!
I'm guessing it's what we need the scissors for.
Yes, James!...Henry...Skippy...whoever you are. Maybe I should lay off yelling at protagonists, it just gets me confused.
Don't worry I have to fed you in awhile, so you won't have anything to throw up.
AAAAAaaaaa...oh. Yay!
We're trying to save a prisoner worry about your gut later!
You reversed the order those questions were supposed to be asked, jerk.
That answers nothing!
What, you mean imprisoned and dressed in drapes?
Is Skippy talking to himself? Buh...
She should apparently she's in your noggin.
Well I have this handy list...
But first...
I try to explore the other rooms in the apartment...
and promptly die! But wait, sleeping save your game and I haven't saved since...OH FUCk
I HAVE TO DO THAT AGAIN
SAVING THIS TIME
LISTENING TO THE RADIO
ANGRY CAPSLOCK IS ANGRY
You better have unlocked it.
Thank you.
Hello New Friend, oh we're going to be bestest friends, yes we are New Friend.
hahahah that guy thinks I have an eating schedule.
You spelled drapes wrong.
Just a few more inches...
YES
That's the plan dumbass. So let's go get some drug-induced sleep so we'll be rested for next time.
Hi Box Man.
Fashion?
Skippy's or mine?
Aw come on, that wasn't the weirdest dream ever. So rest up until next time, Skippy. I have a feeling things won't get easier.
