"The Long Road Ahead" - Full Game - Read Aloud

Short horror game "The Long Road Ahead", has a folklore feel that sits firmly between urban legend and campfire story. Just a short game read-through, apologies for the poor visuals, for some reason the downloads I got refused to be recorded on OBS... as if the game itself was ~haunted~. Nah, my computer's just ancient. Minor warning for the cute jump-scare at the very end. "The Long Road Ahead...

Quick summary and analysis on "The Long Road Ahead", a short horror game with a folklore feel that lingers firmly between urban legend and campfire story. I had half a mind to try and go through a whole book of Chinese Ghosts to support why I landed on calling the ghosts jiangshi despite the wrong color palette but... it was a minor enough point.

      It was really impactful for me too. In some of the cases there just wasn't a good option, the outcome was the same regardless. I like to think of the 'bad end' as the good end since maybe the young doctor player character went on to start a more humane practice.

    • @AvarisHarkay
      @AvarisHarkay 3 месяца назад

      It is confusing. The biggest handicap of his curse seems to be that he can't leave the estate. Back in Chapter 4, he can't leave with Clara to even run an errand in town and just approaching the gate caused him to start bleeding profusely. Something is preventing him from leaving the manor grounds so he cannot leave or travel even though he wants to. I hope you enjoy playing/reading the visual novel! Let me know what you think of the story and what ending(s) you get, okay!

    Ted really isn't a realiable as a narator. Maybe it's me giving the story the benefit of the doubt, but I think a lot of things he says are true, really don't fell like the reality around him. And that we are supposed to think that all off them went kind of crazy. Ted is paranoid, Ellen is weirdly passive, Goristers is agressive and poor Nimdok was mangled even before it started. I'm really liking this video, gonna let the rest play out as a play

    • @AvarisHarkay
      @AvarisHarkay 4 месяца назад

      Agreed. I think it's tough to decipher what parts of Ted's perspective should and should not be taken with salt, but it seems there's a lot that's purposely left up for interpretation, especially given Ted's paranoia. It's tough to say for sure and fun to think about and puzzle over. Thank you so much for the comment and I'm really happy if you liked the video.
