I notice that the map is rather cramped around that area. If there is a "PALACE" it's tucked into a space which is dwarfed by the space of Mira's basement.
Here is my running theory of what is going on: Kendra is not in fact the guardian of the afterlife, she is actually the true custodian. Kendra was exceptionally lazy and selfish in her life, so when she died, she was denied entrance into the palace and instead tasked with the custodial duties. However, because she was so enterprisingly lazy, so decided that instead of cleaning anything, she should trick the next poor ghost to show up that she was in charge, and make them clean in heard stead. She has then continued this ruse coming up with any reason she can to deny passage into the palace for every new ghost. And has used her new found "position of power" to make her afterlife as luxurious as possible without being allowed in the palace. TL;DR All the other ghosts are good little beans who deserve entry into the palace, but Kendra is a bully tricking them into serving her punishment for her.
I was not expecting the title of this video to be the official name of the first boss. Definitely has a different vibe than the boss names we're used to seeing on this channel.
the you shaped dust cloud shows up (outside of dashing) whenever there’s a close call jumping on a platform. when you jump on the edge but its just enough to get you on the platform
2:15 Huh, that's the same thing that happens when Pluto dies. 23:30 I still don't know how to feel about a lot of assist stuff. I'm conditioned to games asking something of the player. Like, I'm okay with difficulty settings, especially modular difficulty settings. I'm not a "games should be hard" person, but the idea of "maybe this game isn't for me" isn't bad.
I think it's important as many games are Vibes based and quite large, while the sticking points can be fairly minor. For example, the Fall damage and time trial options here, because there's no reason someone shouldn't be able to play the cat janitor game just bc they're mediocre at the movement tech and keep missing jumps.
If you love everything about a game but the mechanic execution of it fights you every step of the way, is it just "the game is not for you"? But if there were some options that eased that mechanic execution and let you experience the art, the storytelling, the writing, and yes, even the challenge, wouldn't it just be better in every way? For you and for the game and for the medium itself? Games are not just "mechanics"!
@@essneyallen6777 "If you love everything about a game but the mechanic execution of it fights you every step of the way, is it just "the game is not for you"? " Yes. Mechanics are the primary interaction a player has with a game. Soulslikes are not for me in large part for this very reason.
@@Tehwhitekity That really depends on what the devs are going for. There's a lot of interpretations of "ghost cat janitor game" that have low stakes. They could very easily have gone for that, but instead they went for asking the player to have those skills for these challenges. Having assist options directly counter to conscious additions to the game makes no sense to me. Why not just make the timing more forgiving on Normal across the board? What purpose does fall damage even serve in this game?
@@the6ofdiamondsbecause they know that a majority of people are like you and want those touches while they play, and accessibility stuff doesn’t “go against” anything. Additionally, mechanics might be how we interact with the game, but you can’t make a game out of just mechanics. Games are like interactive art exhibits or choose your own adventure books. They don’t have the accessibility stuff automatically set across all normal difficulties so that the audience could make that choice for themselves.
Spoilers ahead (well, spoiler-ish): . . . . Knowing the big reveal of Kendra at the end, reading this -super early- dialog about what she used the Crystal Mirror for is... quite sad.
I don't quite understand the Backtrackening "Yay" meme. Does it make Carrie's work more difficult and the sound clip is sarcastic, or does it make her work easier? Or does that not have anything to do with the meme? Sorry, I'm a bit autistic and have some problems figuring out what is and what isn't a sarcasm.
I think the origin of the cheer was in the Nier playthrough, and there backtrackening meant getting back to all the super extra *depressing* side character quests. So it started kinda "oh yeahh fuuuuuuunnn" in a tongue in cheek way, but now it's just yaaay backtrackeninnnngg!
hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii btw ur like my favorite gaming RUclipsr pls pls pls play Moo Lander and Lost in random or marvel rivals also did you play deaths door and cult of the lamb fully anyways hope you fix your controller problem also I hope you read this comment cuz ur my fave gaming youtube and pls at least try my games you don't need to if you want bye!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!💖💖💖💖💖😍😍😍😍😍❤❤❤❤💓💓💓🐱 btw keep playing this game it looks really fun ye playing this game until you beat it would be a "good idea" ok now bye!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i hooe you read this comment
The Backtrackening "Yaaaay" instantly put a smile on my face. I love that little inside joke
Absolutely nothing suss or shady happening in this palace afterlife. Nope. Totally above board. For sure. 👀

Not even Miyazaki could come up with a morre teerryfing concept than a pot full of spiders.

Glad to see the Pot Spider Heartless from Kingdom Hearts 1 is still getting good work
That might be the most spiders I've ever seen come out of a single pot!
I also would not mind having a short game with no filler than an overly long one with only less than half being good.
I was not expecting the title of this video to be the official name of the first boss.

I wonder if the photographs of the characters you meet will show how they ended up Outside Of the Palace.
That would be very cool to see!

"Pot Full Of Spiders" - as advertised, for sure.
Eagerly waiting for this was a Good TM Idea
This is very sweet and looks rather fun. Shame it doesn't work on my computer
2:21 Can this go in the next Best Moments video next year? 😅
Always a pleasure
Doesn't the map say you can warp to the well by pressing A? Instead of manually walking? That sure sounds like a "Good Idea"
Thanxxxxxx you 🎉😂❤

I got the demo because of Dan

Day 3 of cleaning the afterlife. Rest of eternity to go…

Sounded sincere to me. Backtrackening episodes are fun, so that's also why I think it was genuine
The clip itself is of a sarcastic cheer (or at least it kinda sounds like that to me), but it's used as a genuine cheer by Carrie.
@@ShanRenxin yeah, maybe that's why I was confused, thanks
