I imagine people here already played the game and are well aware of the spoilers. I absolutely LOVE Iadakan as a narrative driving character. Like once you know he was dying, and was aware of it, everything starts to line up with what he was doing. He knew he didn’t have long with his wife, so kept the quill in his coat at all times to cherish the time he did have. He knew he was becoming atrophied, and would be out of breath really quickly doing the wedding shoot alone. So he wanted to benefit all parties and give Inco and Ben one final, true lesson before his time was up. He knew he wouldn’t make it to his original lesson plan, and jumped ahead to allow both Olivia and Inco their materials of choice as a final parting gift. He knew anything he broke now wouldn’t affect him down the road even if caught, and wanted to truly show Olivia he understood, and cared. And he knew Olivia would stress herself to prove herself to him with the new painting, and forced her not to create it as long as he could hold out. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a character more realistically, and positively lit in a narrative game like this. You were a true friend, Professor. And as for the writers who created that character, THANK YOU for all you’ve done. Never stop creating.
Oh for sure. I also really enjoyed Ben as a character. He was an enigma too until that final winter celebration. Then it all lined up too. I just wish there were a choice in that ending to let him know that being on any sort of medication is perfectly okay, and that whatever mental disorder he was diagnosed with isn't something to be ashamed of. He's still a bro, like a second Naser.
@@HowlingWolf518 Haven’t gotten the chance to play through those endings yet. My first was 1, then I fixed the interactions I scuffed like the back bumper of an Altima and scraped my way into 4. Glad I got worst first TBH. I got best first in Snoot Game, and going back for the worse options was painful. At least here I could only go up. We also now know he likely suffers from either schizophrenia or acute psychopathy, and was actively trying to make himself better for the sake of others. I can’t be mad at the guy for getting it wrong. His mind is a mess, and he needs help. He said it himself.
The dance scene gets me every time, seeing Olivia push herself to rise above her disability just to give the one she truly cares and loves, one more magical moment on already perfect night no matter how short lived, is nothing less than all kinds of inspiring. Not something your get from mainstream shows or games, it's cheesy and genuine in all the right ways which most modern writers are too cynical for. Add in the bad ends that are handled realistically and with some class and that dance suddenly becomes even more of tear jerker. TLDR, this game proofed I still have an heart some where as I openly cried with joy the first time and nearly do each time I rewatch it again |D
I love these animations, they’re so out of the blue and punctuate the scenes so we’ll. I do hope CManon does more of these styles of games, the Dino stuff is clearly a winning formula at the very least the visual novels
They one upped volcano high.....and did one hell of a victory lap and keep in mind this came from "the vile racist ableists" at 4chan......seems like they understand handicapped characters and drama very well someone hire these Lads right now
Ironically, this is not the first/second time 4channers have made a visual novel dating sim with disabled chars. The name escapes me but it's a typical anime styled one that was made in the past during the boom of such games and all the potential girlfriends are handicapped in some way (one is an amputee, another is blind I think?, another has a speech impediment? my memory of the game is foggy). Edit: Katawa Shoujo was the name of the game
@@i-Sparkito add on to this; the designs of all the main girls and I think their disabilities are pulled out from a doujin, in which the artist doodled the designs and laid out the idea. A group of dudes on 4chan decided to use that to make a game.
@@ВладимирКоролев-ч4и I would say it is controversial yes. A lot of (normal) people are under the impression that it is anti-lgbt and a "hate game" made to mock Volcano High. And yeah, it kinda is, but it isn't the focus or the point. There's a lot of bad impressions of it at a glance because of the "mask" it has been obliged to wear but it really does have a nice story, as you might be aware.
That slow dance. I love it because it shows a semi ambliatory wheelchair user. And it shows how hard this is, the suble shakes that get worse over time, and all the little things she does to swallow her pain.. so well done
This game has done something I truly never thought could be done anymore; it reignited my creative drive. I haven't felt such a powerful desire to write for nearly 15 years, and the ideas, while rough, are actually flowing. No other game has ever made me cry for joy or inspire me to create. Ten billion out of ten.
so, in short, your choices lead olivia into a depressed rut after iadakan's passing. She spends all the time absent from school and being generally apathetic towards anyone, because the one person that understood her was gone. During the memorial speech she breaks down and you take a picture of her in her lowest state: broken and forlorn. You justify this by telling her: you looked so sad it was strangely beatiful. She then despises you, which you regret instantly, which you desperately try to fix by 'hugging it out'. She doesn't like the idea and forces herself from you, despite the staircase being right behind her. EDIT: as for the black eye, damien whoops your ass on the balcony and destroys your camera
Thank you so much for this, my potato pc plays the animated scenes at like 10 frames. The moment I got to the dance one I paused and searched this up haha.
I don't know if anyone else pointed this out, but the music for each scene matches perfectly and adds so much. The OST deserves so much praise, it's phenomenal
Dance scene in E4 definetly feels like a reward for all those empathetic but assertive people out there.(or veterans of snoot game). Because both games are in the end tales about supporting people but letting them fail on their own and rise up to be better.
I gotta say Iadakan felt like not just a mentor and teacher to Olivia and Inco. It really felt like he was one to the player as well, he talked about so many things that I didn't realize I struggled with till I played the game. Hell it never clicked he was gonna pass away until it started to describe how the other teachers were acting and after Olivia had been called away, I think I pretty much ignored it because i didn't want it to be true. So hearing about his death tore me apart, it felt like I myself lost a mentor and teacher, I can't tell you how hard I hard I cried at the news, I legit had to stop playing for a few minutes to ball my eyes out before seeing how Inco and Olivia would take it as well, sadly at the same time this was on my way to the 1st ending, and i hadnt realized it, so it hurt 100x worse.
I wish that I can erase that image of Her lying at the bottom of the stairs next to the broken wheelchair. It hits to close to home. When I was about ten years old give or take a few years. I witnessed a friend fall down the stairs who had passed away about a week or two later. I saw him lying there in a similar way. I pray that She didn't die ! He wasn't in a wheelchair though.
I genuinely cried when she stood up to dance. She learned to dance with her tail just so she could have a special moment with me, enduring that pain just to get up because she wanted to share a special night. Inco's tears were freaking my tears.
I can't believe a visual novel about a wheelchair-bound alligator and a faceless guy made me cry like a baby. Cavemanon has created a FUCKING MASTERPIECE. 🐊💚🐊💚🐊💚🐊💚🐊💚🐊💚🐊
I played the game after months of wanting to, especially after this video inspired me to. The game is unlike anything else in my steam library, and it’s now my favorite game… so good.
I just cannot even describe how happy i am to have fully played this game and how sad i am that its over i definetely think this is my favorite gane. If i had one before i literally cannot see remember it and no other game i think of tops this one when i compare them in my heart
The fact i can distinguish the bad ending noises and rumbles by ear constantly brings me the ptsd of hearing them again. I have heard a split second of it RIGHT AFTER the paonting destruction, and i just went into introspection
I have not played the game but I loved the animation and the designs of the couple, reminds me of Beauty and The Beast but with the roles reversed which is something I admire a lot because I have barely seen that idea being explored.
I played the demo, it was an extremely long demo, but I lost my last job due to stomach cancer. I have no money right now to buy new games, been really enjoying my unfinished collection though. I hate begging, but I would love to play the full game.
Iadakan stumbling forward with the axe was off putting to me. Cried my eyes out when i slowly realized what had happened. I got ending 2 first, then 3, and i went for 4 and got it. I loved the dance seen and that made me joyful again. I need a relationship like these 2. I am not going to do ending one. No way in hell.
Todas las animaciones están geniales brother, aún más cuando bailan juntos en la pista del baile. El juego es una obra maestra 🚬🗿….eso si, se siento horrible al ver la animación de uno de los finales malos…carajo….encerio me dolió un montón. Thx so much cavemanon for this beautiful game 🍷🐊.
I've never played this game, I'm not a big fan of visual novels. but seeing the quality of the animations made me want to stop the video and play it myself.
0:10 blink and you'll miss it, that fanged rabbit is a character from Morgan's Skate Club, which I imagine is giving back to the creator since that game had Snoot Game Fang in it. Which may also mean that MSC is canon with Wani which is canon with Snoot Game. Or I'm an idiot.
Damn, I dont like furries but this game is so good I literally dont care about that, this game is an emotional rollercoaster, Inco can either disgust me to extreme levels in the first ending or admire him in his fourth ending
When I saw that animation when I was doing Ending 1.....I was cursing Inco. That bald re*ard. He ruined her life because he didn't have an ounce of awareness. I was praying she was okay because I didn't want her to die like Fang did in E1.
I can't help but wonder if destroying her painting really helped her, she looked like she was crying and it wasn't the painting holding her back it was her believing she won out of pity
actually yes and this is expanded on much more clearly why it had to happen if you have ben's story unlocked and ending 4 going. essentially that painting is only there because ben is jealous that olivia is so crippled that everyone knows she is and so she gets easy access to help, as opposed to ben having schizophrenia (i think) and having to go out of his way to get help which is extremely hard for him. So he tries to force olivia to get help she doesn't need by publishing the painting in his paper and after that painting is published thats when she started blocking off the people from her life due to everyone just looking down on her like she's some charity case who needs to be babied her whole life, however when inco came along Iadakan both physically and metaphorically tore down those walls by letting inco into her life / destroying the painting that essentially ruined her life.
I know nothing about this game, I have seen mentions of it here and there but never paid attention. After watching this however, I might just give it a shot.
I’m not sure you guys noticed but I think the whole game is a metaphor or something. By that I mean that gator isn’t actually a gator she looks like that based on the main characters perspective along with the others. They’re really just humans in real life. That I believe because I have seen something like this before where the main character sees people as animals not humans.
You're overthinking it. It's a world where humans and dinosaurs coexist However, the minimalist design of Inco (the human) is a narrative choice to drive home the idea he is essentially a blank slate
