Why does she look like a granny there

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Alicia

Selfish, hypocritical bitch.
The actual Maelle would have slapped her in the face for her sheer retardation and refusal to move on.

the grey hair probably

you hear that, verso?

thats weird, it sounds like the sound of someone not playing piano....

REBIRTH!

tickle those ivories you asshole

one is the beautiful and bittersweet french ending

the other is the meme machine

As it should be

If you could grow old, then could you find a reason to smile?

What did she mean by this?

She removed his immortality but kept him alive because her sole wish is to live a life with him, everything else, including her own life or his sanity, be damned.

i agree anon but can you stop with the ai slop

I just learned maelle va is Shadowheart from bg3

I didn't know

The longer you don’t play, Verso, the tighter the chastity belt gets…

I can't help but see gigachad every time this is posted

how come hes even playing if he doesnt want to?

You can hear the chroma pickup sound, then he starts playing. Maelle is controlling him like a puppet.

Maelle has control over the people she recreates through chroma.
She basically has full control over pretty much everyone.

why does she get the grey hair anyway, it's not like she has it in the real world

She promised him cunny

Based.
I killed Verso in one turn. Play the piano, pussy ass nigga.

....verso-kun... arigato....

61627.jpg - 640x516, 122.32K

she cute

verso

genocide

That was renoir.
Verso didn't even need to bother appearing in the game for renoir to win.

Cant wait for when the sequel continues on from Verso's ending just like how Dark Souls and Metro 2033 have a canon ending so people shut the fuck up about Maelle.

WITH ENDLESS OPTIONS FOR RENEWAL

I don't like how the story changed from expeditioners struggle to survive to nothing matters except Verso's shitty family

Le French plot tweest

It doesn't have to have a sequel. ds3 was the last in the trilogy and yet it's pretty much accepted that the end of fire ending + handing the blood of the dark soul to the painter(heh) are the canon end to the series.

Devs already said they left it open, which they did with the writers plotline, so they could make a sequel.

But thinking its gonna start with Maelle being pulled out of the canvas by her dad or the Writers attacking their family while Maelle is occupied would be a shitty sequel.

Maelledrones will never ever accept it but most of the unresolved plot points can only be answered through Verso's ending (which i remind, it's the canonical one)

Maelle's painted fantasy becoming unstable and merging with the real world would be pretty cool

finner

what is this puppet game

This might be the nicest area I've ever seen in a video game

file.png - 759x426, 499.65K

Whats stopping Maelle from just recreating all of Verso's creations in another painting? Shes probably not as talented as Clea but she would just share everything personal about Verso anyway.

Nothing. The whole point is that it's not the same because Verso's soul isn't there so the larp doesn't work.

Maelle definitely doesnt know what Sciel's husband was like or the other strangers she brought back to life in her ending so the answer is the soul doesnt matter, her creations are soulless already.

Why do you think it's AI?
It's just an image from fire punch superimposed on it.

The entire driving force of act III is to bring back the people of Lumiere. And one of the endings accomplishes this.

The people of Lumiere are not Verso's creation.
And she can only recreate them as good as she can because she has their chroma. If she left the canvas the chroma would still be in the canvas and she couldn't use it in another canvas.

Merging with the real world

Gustave, Lune, Sciel, Monoco and Esquie become real

Verso is resurrected

Maelle and Alicia become one person

To go against the writers with Clea

Dare i say kino?

It's pretty clear the chroma is foundational and has inherent properties of what was created with it.

is to bring back the people of Lumiere

That's what she says.
Not what she actually wants.

I believe it's intended to signify a change or rebirth, much as with Gandalf it's sort of like a signifier that she is now complete. This is something that happens often in fiction, to give a visual indicator that the person we are speaking with is no longer the same as before.

That is exactly what she wants. We know because she does bring them back in her ending. She just also wants to stay in the canvas.

Justice for Simon

Maelle has no fucking clue about the bullshit her family did

And now, for what she actually says in her own ending and the whole reason she's fighting her dad

I wanted to spend a lifetime with you

and everything else is secondary and that's the only reasons she's even defending the canvas because she can't cope.

kino

People can want more than one thing.

Nah they should go to another perspective instead
We should play from the perspective of the writers

Sadly her Alicia side has completely took over and is obsessed with escapism. Maelle would have let Verso's soul rest.

Isn't Aline the only one capable of creating sentient people like the ones in Lumiere?

hq720.jpg - 686x386, 56.42K

Anon Babble probably thinks the water ending (for the original SH2 not the remake) is not the canonical ending

Theres ALWAYS a canonical choice whether the devs flat out admit it or the sequel admits it, very few games have an ambiguous ending that needs arguing these days even if the game has no sequel like Bloodborne that game HAS a canon ending

Kid Verso made the Gestrals and the Grandis, they don't seem any less sentient.

I still want to know why Aline is like that in their fucking family portrait.

Yes, but Maelle wouldn't let Gustave's soul rest, so at the end of the day the circle would have been the same. It's just this fuckin family really, they sow destruction wherever they go

Maelle would have killed Verso for his betrayals.

She wanted to klll the paintress really badly just so she could get revenge on renoir. And then when she did, she seemed kinda empty afterwards. Maelle would bring gustave back if she had the power to

No sequels or dlc. Make a new game with this combat system but with big titty anime waifus

You are never getting your headcanon validated. You will never receive an unambiguous answer and will continue raging on the monogolian basket weaving forum about "muh canon" until you die. You are already off the a superb start! Keep going!

what lovely feet

I said the same thing when the very first actual shot of Clea was her bare feet

i always thought the water or leave ending fit sh2 best.

Water for the original
Stillness in the remake

Team Silent said Water is the real ending for Sh2 but konami obviously wont let them decide that

Theres ALWAYS a canonical choice whether the devs flat out admit it

If the devs admit nothing, then the only "canon" is that of your head. Simple as. And that's by design.

I cant think of many games that end on total open ambiguity as if theyre Sopranos. Expedition is gonna pick one of the endings for a sequel and Anon Babble will have a shitfit.

There won't be a sequel to this game. At best you'd get a similar game under the same title that don't mention any of the characters at all.

and Anon Babble will have a shitfit.

People who actually went for Maelle's ending are the minority, anon.

I bet the sequel won't have anything to do with the first game at all

Yeah sure if you didnt play the game i guess.

There is no way there will be a game about the writer/painter war. It simply exist as a plot device and for the world to seem bigger.

How well does this shit run on an i5? I don't understand why an i7 is minimum specs for a turn based game.

It will depend on which i5. They aren't all the same.

Yes, those who went for Verso are the majority. Which is why the seethe will be delectable.

But no, really. The creators defining an ending invalidates the game's final choice and diminishes the value of both. I do not see them doing it all. There is no point.

Maelle ending

The fuck is going to happen? Renoir gets fed up with changing Alicia's shitty diapers IRL and tries to drag her out again? No. There will be no further conflict in Lumiere.

Verso ending

Everyone is FUCKING DEAD and Alicia is a maimed cripple who can barely breathe properly. If it's a story fighting the Writers, she cannot do shit.

If there is a sequel, I highly doubt it will be a direct one. The next Clair Obscur would most likely set in the same universe due to the sequel baiting with the Writers. But any everything dealing with "Expedition 33" is probably a done deal.

change character

they play a different song on the piano in the manor

sovl...

Verso deserved every hell for letting Gustav die

alicia wants what verso wants (always seen with verso and renoir)

maelle wants the opposite

game ventures into Novels, the worlds of the writers

Naive young Writer is attempting to save his families Novels from the wrath of the Painters

the whole game you are trying to survive the Painters while rewriting the damage they've done

the final boss appears after reducing the Novel to total ruin

a silhouette appears

a young girl

her head is down

you see grey hair

it's Maelle

in a fit of rage the protagonist fires a volly of Inkblasts at her

She cuts right through it attempts a Stendhal on your party

suddenly a picture frame appears and blocks the attack

four figures emerge

Lune, Sciel, Monoko, and Verso stand between you and her

they turn to you

"Run. This we've got a score to settle."

credits run

I built my PC in 2015 and have since only upgraded the GPU. It's probably the shittiest and/or first i5 version. If I'm okay with stuttering will it work or will it fuck the parry timings and make the game feel like shit? I really don't care if non-combat scenarios have inconsistent framerate as long as combat encounters run with consistency.

cpu.jpg - 747x47, 9.94K

What did Jimbo mean by this?

I hate Verso but still picked his ending. Maelle dies in act 2, Alicia is a different person.

Dodge/parry is harder on low FPS.
i7 4770
rx 470
32GB RAM
20-30 FPS (sometimes drops below 20 but not often), 720P

Verso is objectively correct but the only con is that you have to also genocide and erase an entire world.

you have to also genocide and erase an entire world

Which in turn makes him objectively incorrect.

Name a bigger cuckold in gaming

How did Expedition 60 get so far without a lumina converter? Were they just completely slathered in pictos from head to toe? How did they level up?

I see some anon saved my tasteful edit
here is another one

TORE THROUGH THE BARRIER WITH SHEER MUSCLE, REALIZED PAINTRESS ISN'T THE PROBLEM, AND AT 60 YEARS OLD ONE DUDE ALMOST MADE IT BACK TOO LUMIERE SWIMMING IF NOT FOR THE FACT THAT HE GOT GOMMAGED

and it all doesn't matter because nothing in the canvas matters fuck you

Clea is Laezel. The Black friend in the beginning is voiced by Wyll, and The Mother is voiced by Jaeheira.

Sing me a song, piano man

I clapped when she said it

it’s always more interesting when they continue from the bad ending the french are pussies though so probably won’t happen

stupid why are they fighting inside the book are you retarded

It will be just Clea getting in the canvas, fucking her sister and forcing her out before she is dead. Maybe Renoir will help, maybe not.
Also, their next game will be woke.

The French love misery though. I just finished reading the novel that inspired this game (allegedly) and it's misery for 700 pages.

Those people are their chroma and I don't think you can take that out of the canvas.

It's a very well written novel, though.

It is, although I saw the ending coming a mile away. But still, great novel and I did almost tear up when Caracole died

very well written novel

name, now

I don't understand why an i7 is minimum specs for a turn based game.

I don't think you know much about computers.

the French are miserable

the Russians are even more miserable

the Americans are miserable but try to hide it

are the Bongs the most optimistic Euros? I don't see any other nationality spawning Narnia or LoTR.

YOU HAVE TO LIVE IT

kek

La Horde du Contrevent. It's about a world where the wind never stops and manifests itself in very distinct forms (often very deadly). A bit of fantasy sprinkled in. The story followed the 34th horde, a group of elite people who are sent every decades or so from one end of the world, to the other end to find the "origin" of the wind.

Verso is objectively correct

Thinking that there is an objectively correct option is the most retarded believe one can have about this game.

Alicia is Maelle with her old memories intact. Maelle is Alicia without her old memories.

Devs already said they left it open

They didn't say that.

Even if the devs favor one ending, there's no way they'll release an expansion that makes one "canon". They seem a little too clever for that.

The Bongs have a very "it is what it is" attitude to suffering. They could not write a story like E33 because all of the characters would simply reach a point where they couldn't be fucked anymore and the plot would resolve itself.

I just beat it and picked Verso. Would have picked Maelle if the game didn't save prior because Verso is on a suicide build and I wasn't replaying the final boss.

Force Verso to play the piano

In front of the entire population of Lumiere

HUMILIATION RITUAL

Just beat act 2 and reached the epilogue with Alicia.
I was expecting something different with Renoir Alicia and Verso, not super far off of what the letter reveals but with the clues and info we were given i was thinking something else.
I have enjoyed it greatly so far but i can't see the frenchies sticking the landing on this story.
Whatever.
Videogames

The Demiurge is a cruel mistress...

this
British Renoir would've seen his hag wife killing herself with the painting and thought to himself "bloody 'ell this daft bint is goin' at it ain'she" then go to the pub and gossip about her life choices to the barkeep

I'd say it stuck the landing rather well if you are willing to engage with it. I'd also say that you should avoid spoilers until you're done with the game.

DIM

I'm still not sure if the game would have worked better without the canvas twist. The paintress really is just a godess that makes people gommage. It would be more about the expeditions struggling.
Still, among the "it's all in le head" video game stories this is one of the best ones.

It was never going to be as straightforward as "The Paintress kills people. Go kill her."
I still have mixed feelings about the story completely abandoning the expedition to focus on the Dessandres though.

Just finished the game. One thing I didn't get is why the paintress does the whole Gommage thing?
Why count down the years from 100 and make the people go on expeditions to stop her?

She's not, Renoir is.

Do you know how the world works?

you guys almost make this game seem interesting...then i remember that 90% of you retards are only talking about the story and when you talk about the gameplay its generic "wow you can customize so many skills and uhh apply effects to your enemies...dis is da peak!!!"
there should be ai movie recaps but for games like this

.....did you really finish the fucking game?

In a truly shocking twist, "The one who lies to guard the truth" also lied about wanting to perform a concert for Maelle.

Maelle's ending is about the boy who cried wolf finally facing his well deserved karmic justice.

Okay then why does he do it? To give people a reason to stop the paintress?
Yeah, got the Verso ending. Maybe I'm being dumb here for not getting it...
It's a turn based RPG. What more could you want besides good skill customization to make unique builds and tactical decision inside combat?

for me, it's the Renoir battle themes progressively becoming more dramatic each time you fight him
youtube.com/watch?v=1XYh1K3pQjI

Okay then why does he do it?

He's trying to erase the entire painting but he can only erase the oldest creations.

The number on the monolith is Aline warning the painted humans about her slowly waning protection against Renoir.

He's trying to get his wife to stop killing herself with the Canvas.

Just put your fingers on the key, bro

I think the characters are all shit. I don't care about anyone. Fun game though.

Bros, does roulette just make it so your attack does half or double damage all the time, or does it do normal damage 50% of the time, and then 25/25 spread on half and double damage?

I believe there were much healthier ways of dealing with the Canvas, but this stupid family is too emotional and prone to addiction to consider them. If Alicia had the ability to put down the crack pipe for a second she could have come out of the Canvas and returned periodically as a sort of custodian while allowing the denizens of the Canvas to live out their lives after their 'victory over the Paintress'. Of course this is ignoring Alina being a fucking psycho addict that keeps barging her way in, but there has to be some way to physically keep her away from it.

NOT UNTIL YOU'VE PLAYED ALL THE PIANOS IN LUMIÈRE, THEN WE CAN TALK ABOUT UNPAINTING!

Sorry Verso, I can't erase your painting... come back when you're a little mmmmm... happier

Okay then why does he do it? To give people a reason to stop the paintress?

Alina is a better painter than Renoire, Gommage forces her into a stalemate where she must expend Chroma constantly maintaining the barrier around Lumiere instead of just killing Renoire and kicking him out.

Expeditioners serve a secondary purpose, normally when people die in the canvas their Chroma returns to the painter, however when nevrons kill people the chroma freezes in place and does not return.

Renoire intends to besiege his wife and slowly sap her power until she is starved out.

Alicia hid the canvas metaphysically behind her eyes and Aline still somehow managed to get back in, the only way to save Aline is to destroy the painting

that an Anon Babble meme, from firepunch

Maelle and Alicia have two separate goals, yes. When Maelle "wakes up" Alicias memories, she also gains the goal of saving and spending time with Verso, or at leas the facsimile of Verso.

They don’t do a sequel about these characters, except maybe Clea, and she’ll be extremely vague about what’s happened to her family.

since hes a cuck, people think hes getting controlled, but he clearly hesitates, then see maelle, imagines her real face, and gives in and plays
he also clearly lied about liking it, that fag didnt say a single true thing entire time

Maelle has a particularly fragrant butt'ole

show3.jpg - 3840x2160, 1.13M

This is, exactly, what I have said elsewhere. At most, I see a Clea cameo and a vague reference to the Dessendre which can go either way or nothing at all.

As a matter of fact, the easiest way to sidestep this is to have any hypothetical final battle between the Painters and the Writers take place before either endings while everyone is still in the canvas. Clea goes back to her family at the end of it, but we never see their fate.

I say fuck it.
Why not full on rip off Final Fantasy and make 'Clair Obscur 2' that has no relation to the first one

People think the writers are evil because they caused the events which led to the story. But what if they had a good reason to do it? What if this stupid, emotional, genociding family fucking deserved it?

The moon weeps. Maelle was not real. Alicia is not here. The light has faded, but I remain."

This is what Versotards consider to be the good ending?
She's literally completely isolated and is going to kill herself.

lol

This is, exactly, what I have said elsewhere.

Great minds think alike, and let’s have more Clea.

is there a JRPG that has a more kino ending than the maelle one
I honestly cant think of one

The ending is pure distilled cinematic, arthouse kino. It transcends videogames and is an all time great in any medium.

So what's the deal with the other characters? Are they unaware of Verso's situation or did being painted by Maelle make them equally sadistic?
Is this kid the real Verso's soul fragment? Why is he so excited to watch his copy suffer?

Is Renoir the only family member that isn't insane?

This is his cousin, gigacuck.

I'm sorry, but the position of "biggest cuck in gaming" is held by this man and will probably always be held by him.

why doesn't she just fix the painting and let verso live a happy life or die if he wants?

What sadism? They're supporting their friend's first concert and urging him to get over his stage fright. He should play the piano and be happy he has friends willing to stay in his corner after trying to genocide them twice. :)

its not being cuckolded if the guy doing it is yourself though

You don't actually think that

PLAY THE FUCKING PIANO VERSO. FINAL WARNING.

The kid is Gustave’s apprentices leader. Maelle wanted her ideal world, no shit she’d make it that nobody is aware of the torture she’s committing to painted Verso.

I’d imagine the real Verso is relatively well adjusted, even if he might be enough of an asshole that Renois represent him as “one who hides truth with lie”, he seem to be the glue holding the family together, but I’d imagine he had some issues considering he drew only a single canvas and chose to be a musician, so I can’t imagine the rest of the family but Alicia being too happy about his choice, but he loved Alicia enough to die for her.

>The kid is Gustave’s apprentices leader.

That is not him. I don't know why this keeps getting repeated. Compare their faces and haircuts.

Establish who he is then. And prove it.

This might be the nicest area I've ever seen in a video game

There are a million other UE5 slop games with the "random shit and debris floating in the distance" aesthetic. They all look the same

I cannot "establish" who he is because he has never appeared before. I *can* establish who he is not with a pair of eyes. I am not but the kid being Verso was my immediate first thought when I got Maelle's ending. But there was nothing confirming it, so I never pressed the topic. I have seen someone say the boy's clothes strongly resemble "Fading boy's", but I have never sat down to compared them to assess that for myself.

Fair enough, I was under the impression you were one of those schizos being sure it's kid Verso. My bad.

It's just another orphan.

I have seen someone say the boy's clothes strongly resemble "Fading boy's"

The fading boy is Verso.

normalfags can't cope with the fact they're erasing an entire people from existence so they cope by calling the Lumierians NPCs or glorified AI

why are normalfags like this?

Did it ever mention who the writers were or anything about the painting power?

Because she's not a 16 year old kid anymore. An amount of time has passed in the canvas by the time that ending happens, evidenced by Verso's hair and her cheekbones.

What would Maelle think of Maelle-Alicia?

You miss the point in that it doesn't fucking matter, retard. The life within the Canvas is entirely dependent on the painters and Verso. If Renoir doesn't do it, Clea will fucking BURN E V E R Y T H I N G down.

evidenced by Verso's hair and her cheekbones

Neither of them age. Verso's hair is naturally white, but he dyes it.

Because she wants to keep Painted Verso around. Painted Verso is basically a construct created with Verso’s memories, completely aware that he’s not Verso, but is burdened by the identity forced on him by Aline. He just wants to die, because even Verso’s soul maintaining the painting wanted to stop. He does not want to live even the idyllic life with Alicia in Lumiere because that was what he was doing with Aline when he was created before Renoir went in to try and evict her.

He was basically done with this whole painter business, and when he realized that Alicia was about to do the same thing Aline did, and when he saw that Aline would kill herself to try going back to the painting, he just decide to go for nuclear option.

Tl;dr: Alicia wants painted Verso to continue to exist, Verso just wanted oblivion so he could stop living as a fake existence burdened with memories of real Verso

So who is the guy in the top hat then?

Verso's hair is naturally white, but he dyes it.

Yes, which means time has passed to where his roots have grown long enough to expose more of his paintress induced white hair.

Renoir. The fading woman is Clea.

She'll honor her fake self's wishes, but not anyone else's but her own. Says a lot about her.

It's okay for Alicia to want to die, teeheehee her body, her choice, Verso!

NOOOOOOOOOOOOO you cannot die Verso, (You) WILL become old and play the piano for me

Maellefags are the same type of people to enable mental illnesses that lead to trooning out. Think about it.

Maelle = wife
Alicia = Gaslighting selfish sadistic bitch who deserves to be murdered

Neither of them age.

Alicia went from a baby Maelle to a 16 year old. She didn't just exist in the painting as is, because she fucked up her entry into the painting.
She ages, Verso doesn't because she's Aline's special drawing.

Painted Alicia: I'm ready to die

Alicia: Sure thing bro. *evaporates her before Verso even gets to say goodbye

Verso: I'm ready to die

Alicia: lolno. Dance for me, you stupid faggot!

Alicia is a fucking cunt.

No, her sole wish was to be whole and forget what her life actually is like. Don't mistake for a moment that she actually cares about Verso. She stopped caring the moment she realized she could be whole in the painting, and her word choice throughout reflects that. It is always about how she has nothing outside the painting and inside she can be healed. She never once, after Act III starts, even talks about the inhabitants of the painting except for how they make her happy. Even when it comes to the final conversation about Gustave she is completely dismissive of his loss, because she doesn't care and she can just make a copy now.

Gaslighting selfish sadistic bitch who deserves to be murdered

But enough about Verso

It's been known for weeks that Maellejunkies are AGP troons obsessed with escapism (cuz you know...) and self-inserting onto a 16 year old fictional girl.

The worst thing about it is that she killed the painted Alicia in cold blood, denying Verso his goodbye, out of spite claiming she would've wanted it. But when Verso begs her to die she refuses and forced him to play the piano lol

Alicia went from a baby Maelle to a 16 year old

She got CHROMA'D into a fetus by her mother.

And Verso's ending condones genocide and the irresponsability of gods

Do you suck off corporations that are bigger than you and don't care about the planet? Retard

amazing how you have to make so much shit up and she still looks slightly better than the pathological liar Verso

Maelle has control over the people she recreates through chroma.

This can't possibly be true because that would mean the same for all the people Aline painted and Maellefags have sworn up and down that the paintings are all real life humans with souls and sentience. If they could be controlled by the Painter, that would mean the Canvas being destroyed wouldn't actually kill anyone.

Which still means she spent 16 years of growing up called the town weirdo.

Clea knew Alicia was a dumbass girl all along, hence why she was treated like she deserved.

709677812

muh whatabout Verso out of nowhere

Not in cold blood, Painted Alicia was asking for it.

Painted Alicia was also sick of Verso's bullshit if you paid attention to that cutscene, completely disregarded him, and engaged with Alicia instead.

Clea is an evil bitch that has no sense of responsibility towards her creations

It’s telling that all 3 of the painted children wished for death, and the only reason painted Renoir didn’t is because Aline’s control over him is the strongest

Clea actually cares deeply for her sister, but you didn't play the game and jump to conclusions.

pls keep living Alicia, it will get better I promise

Me? NO I NEED TO DIE PLS KILL ME KILL ME PLS

Verso for the love of god have some consistency

even in maelle's ending they're reminding you that verso's ending is the chad ending

Gamers have to read a book

The writers are too strong.

If they could be controlled by the Painter, that would mean the Canvas being destroyed wouldn't actually kill anyone.

It doesn't kill anyone if you don't believe that the painted people are actual people, but with the painting is still where they're located.

Did they intentionally model Verso's side portrait after Giga-Chad?

you know they did

this game has some memes

You antis are so schizo at this point.

Sister, this is stressing me out

This doesn't contradict what i said.

The chroma cover did. Alicia didn't age at all inside the painting. Neither does Renoir's human form look 100+.

you have painter power, you can live any life you want in any world you create

just not here, you’ve been here for 16 years and your mom will kill herself trying to get back in

me? I’m an immortal construct with identity and memories that isn’t mine, and had spent 67 years fighting your parents’ proxy war, and god knows how long playing house with your mother, all I want is fucking oblivion

Alicia was an Aline special snowflake painting, just like Verso. Renoir is a painter.
"Maelle" is a paintress brain pilot in a normal ass painted person mech suit.

it's not enough that she makes verso's soul watch verso perform for her

he must perform her theme as well

Don't let these discussions distract from the fact that Aline is the biggest villain of the story.

Alicia transcends into storybook writer in the sequel

But those who are resurrected aren't actually the same as before. That is the entire point of Noco's resurrection. Rebirth is not flawless; they're the same, but they are not. I swear the game literally spells out some of these things and people still miss it.

reminder that Maelle is dead
Gustav is dead
Verso is LOOONG dead

No amount of paint can bring them back

worse graphics

still looks better

What a terrible decade. Thank you Epic.
