Jack and Lisa was an interesting fight. Despite it being an obvious representation of spousal abuse and child neglect; the idea of a boss fight being between two opponents with you simply needing to survive is a cool idea.
@@senpie6639 It also goes another way: the fact that Theta always remains beautiful and angelic even in the darkest nightmare means that the protagonist also really loves and adores her and never hates her.
For everyone thinking who Theta is and thought she is our character's classmate, look at 32:37 in the family photo frame, there's two girls, meaning Theta is our character's older sister, hence why she always think that her older sister is always special and talented, both characters shared abit of traits from their parents, our character has her mother's black hair while Theta has her father's blonde hair
Knowing nothing else about the game, my interpretation of the story is this: The girl is in a coma after a car accident (based on cutscene after Mad Wheel), and seems to be somewhat aware of it, but has no desire to wake up. The little black demon girl you control is an OC of hers (based on Originals), and is acting as a representation of her 'will to live', or perhaps an imaginary ideal self, fighting back against her fears and traumas. These range from mundane phobias like veggies, dogs (probably got bitten on the hand by one) or dentists, to deep traumas like a strong inferiority complex (I don't think she was actually bullied, she seems to just believe that her classmates talk behind her back) and abusive parents, to what seems to be a general hopelessness over the world with manifestations of war and social media. The big question here is Theta, the only recurring boss who escapes destruction each time, is actually pretty and human instead of a grotesque monster, and even kills the little devil in the end by stuffing her so full of those soul shards she self-destructs. I feel like that is a representation of the real girl disposing of her coping mechanism after finding the determination to live. As for Theta herself, she's clearly someone that the girl looks up to. Either she's an older sister, or a talented classmate/friend. Her boss fights may be out of a subconscious jealousy, but the girl doesn't actually hate her, and she may be a big motivating factor in why the girl chooses to wake up in the end. Either way, the game has very interesting and detailed visuals, and the difficulty seems fairly balanced. Definately one of the more noteworthy indie games I've seen on this channel.
Actually if you look at the family photo frame at 32:37 , you can see that there's two kids in the picture, meaning Theta is indeed her older sister which explains why our character's father has blonde hair
I think the player character is like the girl in the hospital but it looks like it has horns is it her inner demon or maybe her self is some imaginary friend in the boss fight with the character clone you can see lots of what it looks like a drawings of the same player character on random papers with a child art style I wish someone do a video explaning all the boss fight and what they are represent.
Gotta appreciate these video game boss showcases that randomly pop up on my recommended videos for showing me games that I have never seen before that actually look really cool and interesting
I believe I get why the OC has a dog head as a hand cannon now. It's the protagonist's way of controlling her phobia of dogs in a way. Turning your own fears into a weapon against them. I honestly wouldn't be surprised if that was the same hand she was bitten on. A way to reclaim bravery in a sense.
i think a nice touch at the end would be when she opens her eyes her parents are in the chair and stool asleep holding her hands and theta her sister is watching over her nearby awake
Ok so for Jack and Lisa note that Lisa only targets Jack while Jack only fires at you or indirectly hits Lisa Lisa is abusive but Jack dose stuff that catches her in the crossfire And the 2 beams is sort a thing from what I could tell like a breaking point/climax of a fight/argument Edit: also due to how he has more bandages then Lisa I'd say that Jack is a abused husband who dosent try to hurt his wife but catches her in the crossfire of topics which cause the arguments See how he protects himself while the mom only backs up and shakes on his attacks but he braces for the abuse

I have a couple things to say about neverawake and this channel as a whole. First, about the game and the video, what you see here is *not* the entire boss! As stated early on in the game, “you don’t need to defeat the boss entirely, you only need to collect enough souls to relieve rem’s fear…” but, you can anyways! In addition, there’s a lot more content to this game than any longplay may show! Give it a shot! As for this channel, i’ll have to congratulate you for being the most spoiler-free “bosses” channel out there! I know channels like this may need to spoil a thing here or there in order to interest some viewers, but there’s two things I noticed. First, the bosses shown are super ambiguous, meaning if someone hadn’t already played the game, it’d be a complete mystery to them anyways, and i don’t think a final boss has ever been shown in your thumbnails. Second, the games chosen aren’t “big” titles, meaning your videos are less likely to actually spoil someone on a big game. Videos like this is actually what got me to play this game! Thank you, you’re doin’ good, lad
From what i can see through the bosses and the story, i think i have a theory: The girl doesnt like to eat her vegetables, she's afraid of dogs, the dentist and going to school (those are based on 3 phobias) and i believe she's gotten into an accident which left her in a coma and Theta?, I think she's the protagonist's sister
Okay let’s just take moment to say everyone should appreciate that they put so much work in there videos I’m there biggest fan your the best😍😚🥰😘🥰😍😍🤩🤩🥳🥳🥳😁😁😄😄
Mega weapon almost like when octogeddon goes full rambo and decides to use guns instead of mutations And why does mad wheels 3rd phase almost feel like OMEGA from sky force but with extra steps
@@keharuickuka3143 I don't think so, because she is in other sections as "Theta in ballet" and "Theta Divine", mainly because of the ballet one I doubt she is a hospital employee
I understand I don't really know either I just came to that conclusion because you first see her at the hospital and it appears she helps wake the character up at the end
Cool and unique boss fights, but what was that final boss? You were trying to collect them at the start, but at the end you were avoiding them. I don't get it.
Because our character keeps denying that Theta which is her older sister does really care for her, hence why the hands that's holding her at the end was Theta hugging her sister
@@senpie6639 ok, now I understand that. but what I was referring to was the particles that you collect to beat the bosses. And then, how does that make our character explode at the end?
@@stephenford5661 from my perspective, the little souls you collect on the bosses are probably good things she tries extracting from the bad things to grow up as someone or maybe a manifestation of her hate for Said bosses, and the end, theta overflows her with Said things to show her she doesnt Care If she hates her, she atleast wants her to be alive and well
Looks fun and i might buy it when sales coming but i think the PSP-style 3D main character be out of place compared to the impressive 2D art shown by the bosses. Still going to buy it.
This game's bosses in a nutshell: Most of the them: Dentist: Open wide or DIE! Kanako: Time for agony loser! Gabe-chan: You left me to rot... Mad wheel: You should've fallen to my wrath!

And don't forget her jealousy towards Theta which actually explains why she's a recurring boss in 32:37, Theta is her older sister
@@senpie6639 It also goes another way: the fact that Theta always remains beautiful and angelic even in the darkest nightmare means that the protagonist also really loves and adores her and never hates her.
@@Betagammaomega they say you can wake up from a dream by dying in it might explain that crystal thing

I thought Theta was the tooth fairy.

10:54 is that the demon core-
*starts glowing blue*
oh my god it is
Ok so for Jack and Lisa note that Lisa only targets Jack while Jack only fires at you or indirectly hits Lisa
Lisa is abusive but Jack dose stuff that catches her in the crossfire
And the 2 beams is sort a thing from what I could tell like a breaking point/climax of a fight/argument
Edit: also due to how he has more bandages then Lisa I'd say that Jack is a abused husband who dosent try to hurt his wife but catches her in the crossfire of topics which cause the arguments
See how he protects himself while the mom only backs up and shakes on his attacks but he braces for the abuse

the perfect classmate that she have envy at. because theta is beautiful, learn ballet and looks so divine eheheh, perhaps
@@myersonshareetque2076 Nope it's her older sister as you can see in the family photo at 32:37

Looks like an incredible & epic mix of Klonoa, Chariot (arcade) & Earthwom Jim HD🤩😁
This looks so much like a TREASURE made game. its soo cool!
I miss those guys
10:42 is that the demon core-
Yes. Yes it is
Wait Don't REMOVE THE SCREWDRIVER- "dies"
I feel like there was a second version of the end where she wakes up but becomes a hateful girl ready to take her anger out on the world.
I think that might be the route b ending
Mega weapon almost like when octogeddon goes full rambo and decides to use guns instead of mutations
And why does mad wheels 3rd phase almost feel like OMEGA from sky force but with extra steps
The Artstyle and animation of the monsters reminds me of the Witches from Puella Madoka Magica
Some of them look like they can be familiars(examples the vaulting horse and eggplant)
Fun Fact: This horror twin stick STG was created by the same people who made the arcade game Vritra Hexa
congrats on hitting 250k

I know every Boss represents something, like the veagetables, the school, etc. But who is Theta?
Because its in the hospital section it's most likely to be an employee that's taking care of her or something like that
I think Theta is the girl's sister.
@@keharuickuka3143 I don't think so, because she is in other sections as "Theta in ballet" and "Theta Divine", mainly because of the ballet one I doubt she is a hospital employee

So this game represent the girl most memorable memory and few of her turning point memory with its item?
The last part of the boss is her older sister that hugged her, meaning Theta really cared for her
Ooh, I've never heard of this before, but it seems cool. :O
I really like the mini boss theme from world 4
Such satisfaying shoot sounds
rw:did i ever mention that i hate eggplants? 😡💢🍆🚫

Am I the only one who's getting Metal Slug Vibes from this game?

Was it all a dream?
*yes, tho unlike most times this time it was done right*
@@Zadanoire I see.
It's like a mix of little nightmares,madoka magica and touhou
Oh Dear
What does this game represent?
It represents dream’s, as we learn from from the protagonist, we learn more and more on.
I initially thought it was about reliving childhood trauma
I think is kid fear
Cool
This game's bosses in a nutshell:
Most of the them:
Dentist: Open wide or DIE!
Kanako: Time for agony loser!
Gabe-chan: You left me to rot...
Mad wheel: You should've fallen to my wrath! But there is no harm in finishing what you started!
Jack & Lisa (to each other): You should jump into magma mountain NOW!
Mobile society (sorry in advance): BRRRRRR SKIBIDI DOP DOP DOP DOP DOP YES YES YES YES SKIB SKIBIDI...!
All battles against Theta: Don't worry, Rem! Big sis has got your back!
Is it just me or I hear metal slug boss theme for some reason
