If you're the Doctor, you die horribly.

If you're the Harrypotterscus, you die in a slightly less horrible manner.

If you're the lady, you win the game.

I'd say the most scary part of this is the stagehand raven dudes. They're monstrously tall, they never mover and all they wear are those cloaks and raven.... masks? I actually yelped the first time I saw one (I've not played it. Just seen a few pictures).

The worst part? The people don't care. Either this is all just your madness, or this town is...

I'm pretty sure they're based around (or at least inspired by) the venisian doctors who wore bird masks to ward off the plague. They weren't full headed masks instead they just covered the face, but still, pretty similar.

But they don't doctor. The RPS butcher of it states that eventually you get to the point where they seem to be death dealers.

When you said raven masked dudes I went "Plague doctors?!! :D :D" because I love those masks.  Do they look like this?

You actually see one (or two) at the start of the game.

Later on they show up outside the house of every major character that dies.

They're minor characters.

Honestly that is one of the most underused horror devices the "No one seems to notice or care".

Probably because it is so tough to pull off.

The thing about it though? It's ALL your fault.

As for the point, possibly, but the RPS dissection of it is that all earth is flesh and all flesh is earth.

Anyways, someone mind spoilering the Divotress' plot for me?

I'm being serious here, I don't want to get stuck on a gaem I payed money for.

Getting stuck on a game you paid for? Pretty standard fanfare for adventure games.

Both Broken Sword 1 and 2 featured stupid stuck points.

You can't get stuck, per say, you just have no direction.  Go back and talk to people.

If all else fails, wander around and find money, loot trash bins, and trade with people.  Eventually the day will end (someone will die) and you'll get a Day 3, which has a completely unrelated story quest (well, it's related but it doesn't matter if you failed or succeeded the Day 2 quest, influenced by yes, required that you do Day 2 quest, no).

I think it'd just be better to just watch SA Goons finish LPing Pathologic successfully, and spare yourself the agnoy. The goons are right now on the last day of the Bachelor...after only a couple years.
