Another cute but depressing fact: the flowers that appear later to represent the fallen Daisuke are hibiscus flowers, which is a species of flower that typically have a very short life span after blooming. These are most likely symbolism of the fact that Daisuke died very young.
I could be reaching but Daisuke representing a hibiscus flower, which not only do they spiritually represent friendship, good luck, and joy but they are also short lived within their lifespan as well....
Swansea is extremely well-written. Whoever did his dialogue did their homework. I’m in AA, 4 years sober, and when he explained that all the things he worked for after getting sober didn’t afford him the same happiness as when he was just a drunk trying to find where his next drink would come from…that’s the kind of thing that makes people fall off the wagon, all the time. Lord knows it’s a thought I’ve had myself. Great game, incredible character writing.
Do you think the reason Swansea was trying to keep the last stasis pod a secret was so he could put Daisuke in there last minute when judgement hour hit so he could have at least a slim chance of surviving because he believed Daisuke was too young to go out like this? Edit: Originally I made this comment because at first I thought that Swansea was keeping it a secret so Jimmy wouldn't use it to save himself because he knows Jimmy's an asshole and probably expects him to be the kind of scumbag who'd pull something like that but then when he was talking to Daisuke before putting him down, I realized he was probably saving it for him instead :(
Yes, he straight up says that before axing the dude. Just goes "You're a dumb kid trying your best stuck with a bunch of old bitter people and you deserved another chance"
He got the least painful way out. He caused Great suffering to everyone else - especially curly and Anya, but he got the easy way out. No suffering, no pain, just lights out. What a piece of work.
Not only did he not take responsability by starving to death on the ship, he also does not mercy kill his "best friend", he runs away twice with that action. God what a piece of work he is.
@@Bluz_Spiral0 agree that objectively it is still a selfish action, but cruelly enough it is the closest thing to positive character growth from Jimmy. At the end, in that moment, he's pawning off responsibility on curly and using him as a prop to make himself feel better no doubt, but for Jimmy, he is giving up his ability to control the narrative, which for him has been the most important thing. So while awful, in some way he did grow as a person at the end. Not by a lot. And not in a way that makes the ending any better, but it is technically growth
@@Что-ю3ъAbsolutely yes he sugarcoats everything. he is trying to take responsibility like curly which he is clearly is not his thing, he technically made everyone in the ship k!ll themselfs, he is a scumbag and he will never ever learn that he only thinks he can make things better but he cannot so yeah. He sugarcoats it.
There are so many layers to this and I love it. I fucking despise Jimmy, but it's very fascinating to see why the hell he ended up doing the things he did (except for SAing Anya. I don't see any rationale there except for him being a gigantic, raging asshole). His main thing is that he cannot, ever, ever take responsibility. It's quite literally his fatal flaw. He seethes with envy when it comes to Curly, who was the captain, the number one. Curly's at the top rung of the ladder because he can take responsibility. It's literally his job as the captain. His responsibility is his crew. And I think that Jimmy recognized that. He hates that he knows that the reason why Curly is captain is because he's responsible. He wanted to be in Curly's place, to be the great leader that everyone talks about. But for that, Jimmy has to take responsibility. The funny thing is, he's been given opportunities to do just that. Firstly, Anya. I feel like this is one of the most central points of the game, despite how incredibly subtle it is. It's only when Anya tells him about the baby that he decides to crash the ship (IIRC, that segment was 0 hrs before the crash). He should've taken responsibility for her situation and for the baby. He's given an opportunity to show that he can take responsibility, and instead of fessing up and admitting to his crime, he dodges it and crashes the ship to run away from the consequences. Secondly, him becoming the captain in place of Curly. He's given the opportunity to prove that he can be just as good as Curly, except that he literally cannot prove it. Because of his flaw. He demeans Anya, leads Daisuke to his death, and wastes medical supplies that he knew they were short supply on. He just keeps making bad decision after bad decision. The worst part is that he doesn't even try to assume responsibility over them because "he can fix it". Finally, his death. He takes the coward's way out and kills himself to escape the consequences of his actions. He doesn't try to see them through and only passes it on to Curly. What's funny is that to some extent it's clear that he's being haunted by his decisions (hence the latter half the game and the surreal horror revolving around Curly), and yet he still doesn't want to take responsibility for the crew members' deaths. What a horrible, horrible piece of shit. I really can't help but applaud the developers for their game.
I dont give a crap what the hell jimmys done hes the best person on the ship cause despite being a coward hes the only one with the balls to actually do anything curly anya swansea and possibly daisuke coulda kicked his butt at any moment why the hell should jimmy take responsibility if nobody on the ship has the balls to say it to his face
i think swansea is one of my fav characters throughout it, probably one of the characters u learn the most abt. hes a grumpy asshole but he clearly cares for his crewmates, especially his intern. that moment u have with him, while hes in the chair and the background playing actual footage. its insane, hes pretty underrated me thinks…
To me Swansea is one of my favs because he's really realistic for the situation he gets placed into. He's able to admit he's done wrong and actually take accountability for it and I think he even tries to acknowledge those who try to do right (Daisuke). I'm pretty sure he cared for Daisuke so much that he was going to put him into the cryo pod so he could be saved.
@@5w4m9yHe was really quick to jump to a spiked drink as a solution to a problem that didn't even really require it. Especially the bit where he says Swansea probably won't even remember what happened afterward.
Seriously, no one talks about how good it is. It's overshadowed by the writing, I think, but it adds SO MUCH. I was watching this with headphones and other moments without and when I tell you the sheer amount of dread I felt when I had my headphone on. I had to lower my volume because I was so genuinely uncomfortable (I am kinda soft esp when it comes to sounds tho ) and I love it
it really sucks how no one protected anya in this situation ]: swansea only wanted daisuke in the cryopod - and i think talked anya into accepting that when they spoke and jimmy walked in on them - curly told her everything would be 'fine' and tried to cover for jimmy, daisuke was manipulated into dying in trying to get to her, (though jimmy was more worried about curly in that moment than her). anya tried to tell jimmy of her condition and have him take responsibility, and instead, he crashed the ship and doomed everyone and pretended that none of this was his fault. anya asking why there werent any locks on the sleeping quarters is haunting. jimmy deserves worse than his ending in this game. he says he 'fixed' everything (everyone's dead because of him) and that he thinks curly is a better man. in exchange for curly covering his ass, jimmy forcefeeds him medicine to the point that he's sobbing, feeds him his own leg, and extends his suffering in the only cryopod left. Jimmy spends the game torturing every other member of the crew and only leaving curly 'alive' in return for his loyalty (and thus making him a scapegoat of jimmy's own guilt). why did no one care about anya?
I actually have a theory (not to justify, if you don't like it or have something to add please feel free to do so). But it's kind of implicit that the conversation that Anya and Swansea had was most likely her telling Swansea that she was pregnant and that Jim had done it. That's why he said that "he was keeping his composure" once Jim entered the room. But honestly he was unable to do a lot bc of the critical state of the ship. And a personal theory is that Swansea knew Anya's plans of ending her life and that is why he was already on the door, like, he actually cared about her, but he knew there was nothing left to do... she wanted to end it, and he had no control over it exept for honor her desire and not disturb her. He was a drunk man, and ofc he was unable to protect Daisuke eaven when he tried before. But yeah, i see your point, Jimmy was a literal Sh1t, Curly didn't protected her and was trying to cover up the abuse, Daisuke probably didn't eaven knew about the pregnancy and Swansea wasn't doing enougth to protect her.
Oh god, i just realized why she mentioned there being no locks on the sleeping quarters Anya is such an underrated character, her story is so sad and I wish someone could have defended her :(
i remember watching that part of the gameplay where jimmy is carrying curly to the cryopod and i just said "oh my god jimmy please just let him die" curly was DEFINITELY not the best person but it hurt me so much to see him have to watch all of his friends die
If Jimmy has 1,000,000 haters, I’m one of them. if he has 100 haters, I’m one of them. If he has 10 haters, I’m one of them. If he has 1 hater its me, if he has no haters, I’m dead
THE BABY’S CRIES IS A FUCKING AWESOME DETAIL the fact that he doesn’t WANT to take responsibility and everything is here to remind him is fucking beautiful
When you think about it, the baby didn't have much chances either: when Anya talk to Curly about her pregnancy, they're approximately 8 months away from their destinations. I don't think they'd have pregnancy tests on board so let's assume she found out the old fashion way, so at that moment she must've been at 1+ month. And since she was the only nurse on board, with limited ressources and seemingly not equipped for good prenatal care, no matter the scenario, that baby was most likely doomed (even in the one scenario where they manage to arrive right on time at destination and she gives birth there, she'll be out of a job, traumatised and alone) All this to say: Jimmy deserves to be haunted by the baby's cries until the end of time
@@LeoDBW even if the ship didn't crash, both anya and the baby would have died imo. they would have more supplies for pain as curly wouldn't be burnt but they were short on those too, as pony express don't give a shit about their employees. i hope he gets a special place in hell surrounded by the rage of the women he abused (i'm sure he already assaulted multiple women down on earth) and that he suffers forever and ever :3 "i could have fixed it" when swansea k*lled dai and that he did nothing to stop him, "you can't break down at every little hardship" when anya was committing, "i hope this hurts" when giving curly literal PAINKILLERS???? i love every single aspect of that game😵💫
I tried making a chronological timeline ----------------------------------------- 7 days before the crash: 17:07 [TAKE RESPONSIBILITY] 30:01 6 days before the crash: 33:51 2 days before the crash: 56:36 1 day before the crash: 1:19:45 0 days before the crash: 1:29:34 0:56 1:32:43 2 months after the crash: 5:23 31:43 40:45 [TAKE RESPONSIBILITY 45:42] 48:40 4 months after the crash: 57:58 (❌️3 typo error in-game) 4 months after the crash: 1:09:17 8 hours until Judgment: 1:02:26 6 hours until Judgment: 55:36 1:22:47 1 hour until Judgment: 1:33:31 [TAKE RESPONSIBILITY] 1:36:11 1:44:37 1:51:06 0 hours until Judgment: 1:56:48
Wait I'm so confused about the 3 months/4 months timeline 😭 how is Daisuke telling Jimmy 4 months after the crash that Anya is trapped in medical but 3 months after the crash is them planning to knock Swansea out? Am I stupid 😭
Jimmy is an amazing unreliable/villainous protag, this 2 hr video game has better characters/themes than most mainstream Hollywood slop. Not to mention the graphical direction/sound design choices. Kudos to the devs!!!
I'm so split between liking and hating Curly. Like, yeah he seems like he wants to do the right thing, but he never seems to listen to Anya and always puts Jimmy first instead of taking real actions. He knows Jimmy makes her uncomfortable, and she tells him she doesn't want him anywhere near her but the first thing he does is check on the abuser. It's like he can't fully accept his friend is a bad person, so he takes his side. But there are still moments where he *is* concerned about Anya and where he tries to check on her and offers to help. I just think that, as a captain, he isn't fair when it comes to how he treats his crew. He could and should have done more to help Anya and to punish Jimmy. There's also the whole speech Jimmy gives about how he's at the top of the ladder? I know Jimmy is an unreliable narrator and an awful person, but we don't know if some of the things he said are true. I'm trying to flesh out my understanding of these characters so if you're (somehow) reading this and have any opinion on Curly that would help me decide if I like him or not I'll be glad to hear them!
I feel like Curly was definitely biased and flawed due to him being long time friends with Jimmy and that clouding his decisions of handling the whole situation, but I also believe he was trying to get everyone through another 200+ days in a confined environment where it conflict erupted there wasn't really any jail they could put Jimmy in, he was a flawed character that trusted an abuser far too much but I fully believe he was *trying* to do the right thing, and probably could've to some degree if Jimmy didn't crash the ship
He seems like the type to say “not all men” while also being one of the men who makes it easy for bad guys to get away with whatever they want. He never actually did anything good; just avoided doing anything obviously bad, and by contrast to jimmy seems good. But he caused this through inaction just as much as jimmy caused it through action
Definitely he tried to keep the peace i the worst way where he tried to hear them both out but 100% was biased towards Jimmy knowing he's gone through alot. He was giving Jimmy his first in-game opportunity to take responsibility for a situation only for Jimmy to flip it all on him with a "Well you're responsible for us" spiel.
50:00 i just realized that anya considers taking the mouthwash knowing the ethanol content and what that would do to her pregnancy, but chooses not to take it because it wouldn't take away from her suffering :( the worst part is, she confides in jimmy and that pos says nothing about it
fun fact if u you go out of bounds during a section of the game where you're in the Tulpar you get the same effect so I think what they did is make that section of the map invisible (and added some sort of outline so that you can still barely make out the shape of the objects there if you get close)
Polle after the ultrasound scene represents Jimmy's child that never got to be born. That's why, in his conversation with Polle later on top of the mountain of empty mouthwash bottles, Polle asks "What should I call you? Old man? Seems a little above your pay grade." Jimmy replies, "Pony Express is dead. *And so are you."* This is also in consideration of the fact that Polle's dialogue text is the same color as Anya's. And the background is the nighttime window screen, which was Anya's favorite.
I just noticed that at the 1:54:33 mark, when the halls are covered with the ID cards, Anya’s face is always covered up and everyone else’s is visible.
@ I meant the fact he became an alcoholic again that was the reason Jimmy was able to spike him (Jimmy took advantage of his relapse and gave him a spiked drink knowing he wouldn’t refuse it) so if he never relapsed he might’ve said no to the drink and therefore daisuke wouldn’t have been able to get into the room with the vent and die.
I find it interesting that the game keeps mentioning and repeating “take responsibility” yet neither Jimmy OR curly take responsibility for their actions
curly didnt have time though? the ship crashes RIGHT after he enters the cockpit. id say his biggest flaw was not immediately confronting jimmy about assaulting anya.
I love how you can still fully digest and appreciate this game without actually playing it. Most of the time even with heavily story centric games i still feel like I'm missing out on something when watching a playthrough
I prefer watching/ playing horror games where your character can't die and you have to restart the level over and over. I mean you could probably die during the boss fights but still- mouthwashing is such a work of artt!
Nah that's still too good for him. He deserves what happened to Curly but be made completely immortal and thrown out into the void of space forever. Satan doesn't even want the bad energy Jimmy would bring to Hell.
@ I should have worded it better what I meant is he didn’t deserve it but he is not wholly innocent like anya was Curly was a enabler and a flawed person but the fate he suffered is something I wish upon no one besides Jimmy themself
I love Swansea so, so much. He was an interesting and complex character till his very last moment. I love how his last words were how we all feel about Jimmy x') He used his last breath to express himself, but lastly to make Jimmy feel like shit. Swansea was a good man.
As much as I hate Jimmy that nasty piece of work I can't help but blame Curly as well for enabling Jimmy's behavior to the point of literally defending him when Anya confront him for SAing her
Do you also blame Swansea for not doing anything to help Anya and instead getting drunk leaving her even more vulnerable despite knowing that Jimmy SA'd her?
So I've seen 3 playthroughs of this and I can usually get through the close your eyes diasuke part but without any commentary watching makes me want to cry
literally what is Jimmy's issue? I feel like I'm missing something here. He did ALLL of that because... he was jealous that curly was better than him? like WHAT
@@coagulatedblooddrive I've been reading more into it now, and apparently I WAS missing something. What he did to Anya went completely over my head, and I was really confused about the whole pregnancy deal (Probably because Curly seemed so calm about it)
@@blomtomb7103 yeah, they definitely keep it very subtle! I feel like Curly's reaction is also just very much a depiction of how some people will hear about SA and say "I know him, he couldn't do that"
@@coagulatedblooddrive This is gonna sound really stupid, but my guess at first was like.. Jimmy and Anya were in a relationship, and then she cheated on him with Curly?? Which is why Jimmy got so mad and did all of that? But yeah knowing what he did to Anya now makes way more sense, and shows how much of a terrible person he is
@@coagulatedblooddriveSorry, can you help me understand where it was implied that it was not consensual? Idk if I missed something, but I went through thinking the whole time they just had a secret fling but she wound up getting pregnant from it and Jimmy was just avoiding being a father.
I actually have a theory (not to justify, if you don't like it or have something to add please feel free to do so). But it's kind of implicit that the conversation that Anya and Swansea had was most likely her telling Swansea that she was pregnant and that Jim had done it.

He was a drunk man, and ofc he was unable to protect Anya or Daisuke eaven when he tried before.
It was also speculated that once she told him she was going to end her life if they aren’t able to get out, that Swansee would save Diaske instead of curly in the cryopod
41:22 omg poor curly hes in pain :( and then f*cking jimmy only took the initiative to give him painkillers the second time because he wanted to vent his frustrations out on him..
im so glad i found a playthrough without commentary, its so distracting trying to watch the gameplay while hearing someone talk, ALSO JIMMY ISTG ITS ON SIGHT
@@milenasheher 😭😭 real as hell, I finished and I was like damn Jimmy's clearly fucked up...and then I thought about it and I was like actually fuck him he deserved worse
57:42 “why do you think they put a lock on the medical room but not the sleeping quarters?” 59:50 “you think I wanted this either?” 1:23:55 “close your eyes daisuke.” 1:33:03 “Jim, t-tell me you didn’t.” 1:40:01 Take Gun. 1:58:49 “I… fixed it..”
@@Что-ю3ъ Non linear is when you tell the events of a story out of order. If you did it in order the game would start days before the crash, then the crash happens, and then the game would show what happened after the crash in order. But its non linear so instead it alternates between events from the present and events from the past
Happy? He's never going to recover from that shit, even intensive therapy won't help. There's slight hope since apparently this is the future where they have the technology as seen from the Tulpar, to travel in space so there's hope that they have better technology to at least help Curly but he's never going to heal mentally and physically.
knowing the high level very professional knowledge that i know about cryonic preservation (red valley fiction podcast) jimmys ass fucked that up too, with the lack of preparation and curlys barely hanging onto life by a thread of a thread he def wouldn't have survived even the first few seconds
@@wren000 eh, i doubt the developers were taking that into account. i think it's more striking to suspend disbelief with the horror at the thought that that curly will be stuck there alone for 20 years
This game was so so much more complicated than anybody I see talking about it makes it seem, Anya and Jimmy and Curly had such a interesting dynamic, they're all such dimensional characters, I've never seen people call someone with such an interesting story one dimensionally evil, this is such a good game I wish more people would see into it more. Even the way curly still wanted to protect Jimmy and cover up for him and was willing to do anything to keep his best friend safe with him FUCK this games so good
this game writings is phenomenal, not even oscar winning horror movies are this level of writing, nothing is put there just because of the plot like one domensional character like you said. Everyone is fucked, all of them are trying their best, 3 of them are villains in their own ways, one is just unlucky, another is neglected. It's horrifically tragic but goddamn how realistic this game is told.
nah dying it's just an easy way of escaping, he DOES have to take responsability in some way or another (of course with the rest of the crew getting rescued)
He hit the poor guy at 45:10...You notice when he gives him the pills the other times Curly doesn't do anything, just crying. He got terrified from Jumbalala.. It hurts me that all of the crew died, thinking Curly is the one who crashed the ship.
if it makes you feel any better as time goes on they probably have more of a clue that it wasnt curly,, i refuse to believe,, even if its just wishful thinking,, anya knew it from the start-- she told him about the pregnancy whatever and the ship crashes, idk i feel like curly wouldnt do tjat on purpose especially since he had no connection to what happened,,
Curly didn't crash the ship, I believe it was actually Jimmy, who blamed Curly, Curly tried to fix it but failed to and got injured, Jimmy didn't take responsibility
This game will be mentioned in my suicide note. How the fuck did Curly survive that long without skin ? Throughout this entire thing, the constant question i had was why torture this guy by keeping him alive in excruciating pain ? The more I think about it, the more I understand but then when I think about it more, I'm just as lost as before. Pucker up developers im giving you THE kiss of the century.
Don't do it. Take this from a stranger you know nothing about. I don't know you, or anything about your life. But George Carlin said it best: "This world's simply too entertaining to off myself. Everyone's born into the front row seat of the biggest freakshow in this circus of a universe, and that's humanity. It'll never get boring. Life is a one-time ticket. Use it well, because there's no refunds."
Man...i know some times live suck ass but, even like even when we are alone we can find something good to feel better things are'nt good by their selves WE make then good for our selves, You can make your life good
the raw look, the weeping red all over his bed and the constant pained groaning sound makes me think that curly has deep 2nd degree burns - like the skin is mostly burned off, but he's not too damaged so the nerves are still pretty much intact. he can feel everything. people with this injury have recovered around 3 months after the incident with enough debriding and skin grafts. he would've been dead with 3rd degree burns without proper medical care.
I know this was a month ago but I just can't move past this without saying something. Please, don't do it. You'll find something to live for. Don't give up.
Bro, jimmy litteraly blamed the fact that he SAd anya on Curly because he was in control of what happened in the ship like, "it's your fault i SAd anya because you weren't there to stop me, shame on you" pice of SHII person damn. Also, curly isn't a saint either, he did fail to give anya a safe enviroment after she told her she was not ok with him being on the ship and curly knew but failed to listen to her, horrible situation all over.
Yeah, honestly I feel like people don't talk about how Jimmy was manipulating Curly in that situation by enforcing the idea that they are inseperable, and anything Jimmy does is also Curly's problem, and is Curly's fault. This creates pressure for Curly to defend himself for something he didnt do, while actually just defending Jimmy.
I love Swansea's speech so much, cause in a way it's awknowledging his flaws and settling with them completely for the last time in the face of Jimmy. Jimmy, who in his last moments couldn't even do that, he couldn't acknowledge his flaws, his wrongdoings, and was still too focused on Curly.
TW: Here I'm going to talk a lot about fucked up paraphilias and the reasons why Jimmy committed SA. The scene where Jimmy is doing an ultrasound on that mass of flesh is a metaphor for how he felt when he did an ultrasound on Anya and realized she was pregnant. The fact that he found two things that look like dogs (although we later find out that they were Polles) moving erratically may be a symbolism of him not seeing his unborn children as humans and that Anya was carrying twins. The erratic movement they make may be a symbolism of how the babies were at an advanced stage where they could already move and the "barking" sounds they make could be a representation of their heartbeats and how the fetuses had already developed a heart. The fact that the fetuses were twins and are already at an advanced stage of development surprised and disturbed Jimmy a lot. That is why the Polles had such erratic movements and sounds. In that way we can feel the same fear and disgust that Jimmy felt. Since the babys are already very advanced in growth, aborting them would be considered murder in all countries. If you're wondering how Anya doesn't have a noticeably large belly if her pregnancy is pretty advanced, there are cases where the baby may be small enough to not make noticeable changes in the size of the belly. This scene ends with the mass of flesh waking up and vomiting out a bunch of Polles. This symbolizes that realization hited Jimmy hard. He realized that Anya was going to give birth soon and the responsibility of helping her do so would fall on him. This means that he is going to have to watch her give birth and help her deliver more than one baby. This scene symbolizes how that disturbed and disgusted him greatly. I also have an interpretation about one of the final scenes where Polle talks to Jimmy. His dialogue text is colored light blue just like Anya's. This symbolizes that in Jimmy's nightmare, these two characters merged and are now questioning him about his responsibility. This kind of fusion is quite common in dreams. This fusion between Polly and Anya happened because Jimmy has a crush on both of them. Jimmy wasn't joking with Anya when he said he was sexually attracted to horse cartoons, even though she wanted to think he was just messing with her. He must have developed this attraction to Polle because he was locked in a place where there are many posters of him pasted in the hallways. In fact, there is a scene that could symbolize this, where Jimmy falls through a hallway with walls completely filled with these posters. The reason for his paraphilia could also be because while growing up or at least in Tulpar, he feels very sexually repressed and that's why he seeks to release himself sexually with almost anything that has a humanoid form. The need for release must also be one of the reasons why he decided to SA Anya. And going back to how the animals inside the mass of meat were a bunch of Polles, they could symbolize that he came to feel a certain attraction to fetuses, if we remember that he is sexually attracted to Polle and how he is quite sexually deviant in general. Back to the scene where Polle is talking to Jimmy, Polle wonders if he should call him boss or old man. This could be something Jimmy himself must have said to the higher-ups to try to get along with them or it could simply be a phrase said by another corporate. Jimmy probably dreamed that he would be the one to whom this phrase would be said one day and that is why in his nightmare he dreams that Polle says it to him. "Seems a little above your pay grade. Given all this". Here Polle represents the company "Pony Express" and how the corporates there would talk to Jimmy if they found out what he did with Tulpar and his crew. After all, Polle is it’s official mascot. “I know what you think of this predicament of yours” is a phrase that a businessman would use. There are a lot of people in the business world who choose to use complicated or highly technical phrases like “predicament” to sound more intellectual and feel superior, not caring if they are talking to people who are not very educated on these subjects and might not fully understand what they are saying. Seeing all the immoral actions that Pony Express has done, it is not surprising that such shitty businessmen are part of that company. They often use these phrases to confuse people into accepting abusive deals and they surely used this type of manipulation with Jimmy and the rest of the crew. "Poor you, caged and misunderstood", this could be a phrase that doesn't sound like something that Anya or a businessman would say, so I think that this line is something that Jimmy thinks that Polle would say to him and something that he thinks himself. "Polle says: [SORRY]" This is another skit from Pony Express, showing how they behaved when Curly was told that the crew will be fired. They should have said sorry for this, but the brevity with which the "SORRY" sign appeared shows how surely in the document they sent to Curly, this word appeared only once, being the only instance in which they worded an apology, feeling like rather cold, brief and empty apologies. "If all of that is true... why are you still so concerned with him" This phrase would be said by Polle and is actually a way for Jimmy to tell himself in a non-direct way that he does not want to take responsibility for what happened to Curly. Jimmy was also afraid of Anya saying that line to him, when she asked him if he could give Curly's medicine for her, while Curly could hear her conversation from the infirmary. He became very defensive, showing that he really didn't want to do it. He started to get afraid that Anya would question his responsibility, so he became very verbally and emotionally abusive towards her so that she wouldn't dare to question him and it is for this very reason that he ends up agreeing to give Curly his medicine despite being very negative about it. I also have an interpretation about the hallucinations Jimmy had at the beginning, when he crashed the ship and was going through the hallway and doors. The statues of Polly chasing him (if we remember how Polly can also symbolize the Pony Express company) are a symbolism of how Jimmy begins to realize that he will definitely receive consequences from Pony Express and the baby cries that are heard in the background indicate that he also became aware of the consequences that Anya's pregnancy could have (being obligated to being a father and having to calm his childrens cries at night).
@euphorialover911 You're right, I missed it. Probably the ultrasound scene was in the nightmare so we could feel more immersed in how Jimmy reacted to Anya's pregnancy. Maybe Anya told Jimmy that she had an ultrasound and found out she had twins and was already a few months pregnant, maybe not very far along but enough to give birth on the ship. Considering Anya's personality and her fear of Jimmy, she shouldn't have told him these details in a dramatic or exaggerated way but still this information hit Jimmy hard. His reaction of just walking away might show us how stunned he was.
1:21:43 this one line, this one "I told you" changed how I view Curly. Anya had already told Curly about what Jimmy did before this point. It was only when he found out she was pregnant from it that he took action because the assault could no longer be denied and hidden away and would look bad on Curly, who was _supposed_ to protect the crew. Plus, the only thing he said he'd do after hearing abt her pregnancy was to "talk" to Jimmy, which he _didn't even do_ until _after_ Anya told Jimmy abt it. He then even seems to consider Jimmy's idea of crashing the ship (given how he tried to stop it though, he probably wasn't 100% on board with the plan, but still). Sure, Curly was in a really tough position as a captain, but I can't help but feel like he could've done way more for Anya.
I was like "oh my god his laugh is so cute" but then I remembered that he's in so much pain he's literally going insane and THAT'S why he's laughing and then it made me sad 😭
I love everybody, i hope all of the have the most happiest lives ever. Except u jimmy. But in all seriousness, everybody (including Jimmy) is so well written! Like wow i didnt expect this story to be so peak 😼
i think most people who like Curly like him because of his flaws, not in spite of them. he's not a perfect ray of sunshine - he's a human being who makes mistakes. he was too nice for his own good, and let that colour his judgement of Jimmy, rather than evidence from a victim. he still didn't deserve what he got, which is why most people root for him. no matter his mistakes, he's 200 times the captain Jimmy could ever be.
Mh I think he's a good character with quite realistic behaviors and decisions, he's not a hero, and I don't think he's portrayed as one. I like him because of that, he seems like a normal person in a terrible situation, who prioritized "keeping peace" over other aspects, which is something a lot of people do (and probably most people have behaved like that a few times during their lives). I think thats why people liked his character
true, i get that flaws are very human & i think he's a good character, it's just hard for me to imagine woobifying an enabler of sexual abuse. the scene before the crash where curly says that they'll get through it, relating to the pregnancy (and possible outing of what jimmy did). it reads like curly was going to keep sticking by & defending him even after it was revealed what he had done. it's off putting in a way thats too close to real life
@cack1e I don't exactly think he was enabling Jimmy and more so just unable to do much more. He went to confront Jimmy the day he was going to crash the ship which put him in a bit of an (unknowing) time crunch. As captain, he would have to think through every single one of his options to choose the right one that wouldn't affect the crew or the job that they still had to complete. Plus, Jimmy had an explosive personality and Curly was possibly walking on eggshells because he didn't want to set him off in fear that he'd do something rash and hurt himself or someone else. Whose to say he wasn't with Anya the entire time he was thinking through his options? There's a lot unsaid, and I think the information given isn't enough to label Curly as a bad man who enabled an abuser just because they were friends. Not to mention that throughout the game, Jimmy is shown to belittle, mock, and degrade Curly and he usually just takes it and doesn't fight back. I wouldn't be surprised if he was scared of Jimmy himself. Sorry for the super long message, I'm really passionate about the topic of morally gray characters and I've also played this game 5 times the past week so it's sort of taking over my mind lol. In my opinion, Curly isn't a bad guy, just someone who trusted others far too much and saw the good in people who didn't deserve it. He reminds me a lot of Daisuke in that aspect
@@envy1266it's the fact that curly just wanted to "fix things" instead of confront jimmy that enables the abuse. curly should have done more than just console a rapist and tell them "they'll fix it together". there should be no fixing, only accountability. it was his job to defend and support Anya, the victim, and yet all he did was console her literal abuser. inaction can also be enabling. lack of justice is still injustice.

They definitely could've lived longer if Swansea didn't hide the cryopod. Putting one person in the cryopod means that one person doesn't have to eat or drink water for 20 years. There was like 8 months to go until the delivery was completed which means they had 8 months of food for 5 people. With only 4 mouths to feed, the amount would be 10 months of food. This 10 months of food would obviously be stretched for longer since they don't have to do normal activities which would reduce their caloric requirement. They could aid their caloric intake by drinking the mouthwash with its sugar content.
It woud've been logically smarter to put Curly in from the start. Saves on painkillers too. However, emotions, personal attatchments exist. They are only human. Sometimes due to these things, you dont always do the right thing.
If this were a movie, I'd say its peak cinema. Wonderful fucking game and story. Rest in peace to Anya, Daisuke, Swansea, maybe even Curly. But you can kiss my whole ass, Jumbotron.
they could never make me hate you....Anya and Daisuke,,,,,
Amen babes 🙏❤️ amen 😞🥺❤️

AND Swansea 👅..
the cyro pods should’ve been for them
My friend actually just told me this, but swans kill their children if theyre sick and thats what swansea did. I think its a cute and sad detail :(
wait that’s insanely depressing oh my god
So that's why Swansea did that to Daisuke....
Another cute but depressing fact: the flowers that appear later to represent the fallen Daisuke are hibiscus flowers, which is a species of flower that typically have a very short life span after blooming. These are most likely symbolism of the fact that Daisuke died very young.
The attention to detail is KILLING MEEE !! 😭
I could be reaching but Daisuke representing a hibiscus flower, which not only do they spiritually represent friendship, good luck, and joy but they are also short lived within their lifespan as well....
FUCK-
Oh god is cant handle this much of sadness I love you Daisuke
DAISUKE MY BOI 😭
oh this hurts me
Killing myself NOW
Swansea is extremely well-written. Whoever did his dialogue did their homework. I’m in AA, 4 years sober, and when he explained that all the things he worked for after getting sober didn’t afford him the same happiness as when he was just a drunk trying to find where his next drink would come from…that’s the kind of thing that makes people fall off the wagon, all the time. Lord knows it’s a thought I’ve had myself. Great game, incredible character writing.
Do you think the reason Swansea was trying to keep the last stasis pod a secret was so he could put Daisuke in there last minute when judgement hour hit so he could have at least a slim chance of surviving because he believed Daisuke was too young to go out like this?
Edit: Originally I made this comment because at first I thought that Swansea was keeping it a secret so Jimmy wouldn't use it to save himself because he knows Jimmy's an asshole and probably expects him to be the kind of scumbag who'd pull something like that but then when he was talking to Daisuke before putting him down, I realized he was probably saving it for him instead :(
stop no dont make me go even more insane
no bc thats what I thought. that he was saving it for daisuke or anya :(
Yes, he straight up says that before axing the dude. Just goes "You're a dumb kid trying your best stuck with a bunch of old bitter people and you deserved another chance"
Yep, Swansea says he already has everything he wanted on the ship. So there is no point in saving his own life.
Couldn't they had put him in the cryo pod to stop the bleeding ?

@@spider.punk_his little screams in the vent shattered my heart omg
the way jimmy went out... he genuinely should've gotten worse. that was basically mercy
He got the least painful way out. He caused Great suffering to everyone else - especially curly and Anya, but he got the easy way out. No suffering, no pain, just lights out. What a piece of work.
In the end, he refused to take responsability to even face the consequences the fair way.
and got out in the most easy way.
thats the point.
Not only did he not take responsability by starving to death on the ship, he also does not mercy kill his "best friend", he runs away twice with that action. God what a piece of work he is.
@@Bluz_Spiral0 agree that objectively it is still a selfish action, but cruelly enough it is the closest thing to positive character growth from Jimmy. At the end, in that moment, he's pawning off responsibility on curly and using him as a prop to make himself feel better no doubt, but for Jimmy, he is giving up his ability to control the narrative, which for him has been the most important thing. So while awful, in some way he did grow as a person at the end. Not by a lot. And not in a way that makes the ending any better, but it is technically growth
I'm in love with the amount of Jimmy hate comments, keep it going lads
Is jimmy kind or evil or sugarcoating his actions?

He sugarcoats it.
@@Что-ю3ъ
Jimmy did not take responsibility
@@Что-ю3ъ i mean he crashed the ship and blamed it on curly, then it also lead to everyone in the ship dying
There are so many layers to this and I love it. I fucking despise Jimmy, but it's very fascinating to see why the hell he ended up doing the things he did (except for SAing Anya. I don't see any rationale there except for him being a gigantic, raging asshole).
His main thing is that he cannot, ever, ever take responsibility. It's quite literally his fatal flaw. He seethes with envy when it comes to Curly, who was the captain, the number one. Curly's at the top rung of the ladder because he can take responsibility. It's literally his job as the captain. His responsibility is his crew. And I think that Jimmy recognized that. He hates that he knows that the reason why Curly is captain is because he's responsible. He wanted to be in Curly's place, to be the great leader that everyone talks about. But for that, Jimmy has to take responsibility. The funny thing is, he's been given opportunities to do just that.
Firstly, Anya. I feel like this is one of the most central points of the game, despite how incredibly subtle it is. It's only when Anya tells him about the baby that he decides to crash the ship (IIRC, that segment was 0 hrs before the crash). He should've taken responsibility for her situation and for the baby. He's given an opportunity to show that he can take responsibility, and instead of fessing up and admitting to his crime, he dodges it and crashes the ship to run away from the consequences.
Secondly, him becoming the captain in place of Curly. He's given the opportunity to prove that he can be just as good as Curly, except that he literally cannot prove it. Because of his flaw. He demeans Anya, leads Daisuke to his death, and wastes medical supplies that he knew they were short supply on. He just keeps making bad decision after bad decision. The worst part is that he doesn't even try to assume responsibility over them because "he can fix it".
Finally, his death. He takes the coward's way out and kills himself to escape the consequences of his actions. He doesn't try to see them through and only passes it on to Curly. What's funny is that to some extent it's clear that he's being haunted by his decisions (hence the latter half the game and the surreal horror revolving around Curly), and yet he still doesn't want to take responsibility for the crew members' deaths.
What a horrible, horrible piece of shit. I really can't help but applaud the developers for their game.
I dont give a crap what the hell jimmys done hes the best person on the ship cause despite being a coward hes the only one with the balls to actually do anything curly anya swansea and possibly daisuke coulda kicked his butt at any moment why the hell should jimmy take responsibility if nobody on the ship has the balls to say it to his face

To me Swansea is one of my favs because he's really realistic for the situation he gets placed into. He's able to admit he's done wrong and actually take accountability for it and I think he even tries to acknowledge those who try to do right (Daisuke). I'm pretty sure he cared for Daisuke so much that he was going to put him into the cryo pod so he could be saved.

@@NadA-zo3tc Timestamp?
it really sucks how no one protected anya in this situation ]: swansea only wanted daisuke in the cryopod - and i think talked anya into accepting that when they spoke and jimmy walked in on them - curly told her everything would be 'fine' and tried to cover for jimmy, daisuke was manipulated into dying in trying to get to her, (though jimmy was more worried about curly in that moment than her). anya tried to tell jimmy of her condition and have him take responsibility, and instead, he crashed the ship and doomed everyone and pretended that none of this was his fault.
anya asking why there werent any locks on the sleeping quarters is haunting.
jimmy deserves worse than his ending in this game. he says he 'fixed' everything (everyone's dead because of him) and that he thinks curly is a better man. in exchange for curly covering his ass, jimmy forcefeeds him medicine to the point that he's sobbing, feeds him his own leg, and extends his suffering in the only cryopod left. Jimmy spends the game torturing every other member of the crew and only leaving curly 'alive' in return for his loyalty (and thus making him a scapegoat of jimmy's own guilt).
why did no one care about anya?
I actually have a theory (not to justify, if you don't like it or have something to add please feel free to do so). But it's kind of implicit that the conversation that Anya and Swansea had was most likely her telling Swansea that she was pregnant and that Jim had done it. That's why he said that "he was keeping his composure" once Jim entered the room. But honestly he was unable to do a lot bc of the critical state of the ship. And a personal theory is that Swansea knew Anya's plans of ending her life and that is why he was already on the door, like, he actually cared about her, but he knew there was nothing left to do... she wanted to end it, and he had no control over it exept for honor her desire and not disturb her. He was a drunk man, and ofc he was unable to protect Daisuke eaven when he tried before.
But yeah, i see your point, Jimmy was a literal Sh1t, Curly didn't protected her and was trying to cover up the abuse, Daisuke probably didn't eaven knew about the pregnancy and Swansea wasn't doing enougth to protect her.
Oh god, i just realized why she mentioned there being no locks on the sleeping quarters

@@Al_xS_cks no but fr poor guy wasn't even born he was living a nightmare along with his mom
When you think about it, the baby didn't have much chances either: when Anya talk to Curly about her pregnancy, they're approximately 8 months away from their destinations. I don't think they'd have pregnancy tests on board so let's assume she found out the old fashion way, so at that moment she must've been at 1+ month. And since she was the only nurse on board, with limited ressources and seemingly not equipped for good prenatal care, no matter the scenario, that baby was most likely doomed (even in the one scenario where they manage to arrive right on time at destination and she gives birth there, she'll be out of a job, traumatised and alone)
All this to say: Jimmy deserves to be haunted by the baby's cries until the end of time
@@LeoDBW even if the ship didn't crash, both anya and the baby would have died imo. they would have more supplies for pain as curly wouldn't be burnt but they were short on those too, as pony express don't give a shit about their employees. i hope he gets a special place in hell surrounded by the rage of the women he abused (i'm sure he already assaulted multiple women down on earth) and that he suffers forever and ever :3 "i could have fixed it" when swansea k*lled dai and that he did nothing to stop him, "you can't break down at every little hardship" when anya was committing, "i hope this hurts" when giving curly literal PAINKILLERS???? i love every single aspect of that game😵💫

Wait I'm so confused about the 3 months/4 months timeline 😭 how is Daisuke telling Jimmy 4 months after the crash that Anya is trapped in medical but 3 months after the crash is them planning to knock Swansea out? Am I stupid 😭
I think the worst part is how many Jimmy's are out there and how many Anya's suffer for it...
Jimmy is an amazing unreliable/villainous protag, this 2 hr video game has better characters/themes than most mainstream Hollywood slop. Not to mention the graphical direction/sound design choices. Kudos to the devs!!!
I'm so split between liking and hating Curly.
Like, yeah he seems like he wants to do the right thing, but he never seems to listen to Anya and always puts Jimmy first instead of taking real actions. He knows Jimmy makes her uncomfortable, and she tells him she doesn't want him anywhere near her but the first thing he does is check on the abuser.
It's like he can't fully accept his friend is a bad person, so he takes his side.
But there are still moments where he *is* concerned about Anya and where he tries to check on her and offers to help.
I just think that, as a captain, he isn't fair when it comes to how he treats his crew. He could and should have done more to help Anya and to punish Jimmy.
There's also the whole speech Jimmy gives about how he's at the top of the ladder? I know Jimmy is an unreliable narrator and an awful person, but we don't know if some of the things he said are true.
I'm trying to flesh out my understanding of these characters so if you're (somehow) reading this and have any opinion on Curly that would help me decide if I like him or not I'll be glad to hear them!
I feel like Curly was definitely biased and flawed due to him being long time friends with Jimmy and that clouding his decisions of handling the whole situation, but I also believe he was trying to get everyone through another 200+ days in a confined environment where it conflict erupted there wasn't really any jail they could put Jimmy in, he was a flawed character that trusted an abuser far too much but I fully believe he was *trying* to do the right thing, and probably could've to some degree if Jimmy didn't crash the ship
Well, if they’re already in space on the same ship for the next 8 months, keeping the two separate isn’t exactly a realistic option
He seems like the type to say “not all men” while also being one of the men who makes it easy for bad guys to get away with whatever they want. He never actually did anything good; just avoided doing anything obviously bad, and by contrast to jimmy seems good. But he caused this through inaction just as much as jimmy caused it through action
@crimeandspace he could've had him put in a cryopod maybe, at least to prevent him from trying anything else
Definitely he tried to keep the peace i the worst way where he tried to hear them both out but 100% was biased towards Jimmy knowing he's gone through alot. He was giving Jimmy his first in-game opportunity to take responsibility for a situation only for Jimmy to flip it all on him with a "Well you're responsible for us" spiel.
50:00 i just realized that anya considers taking the mouthwash knowing the ethanol content and what that would do to her pregnancy, but chooses not to take it because it wouldn't take away from her suffering :( the worst part is, she confides in jimmy and that pos says nothing about it
man atleast it kinda well... yeah unalive the child but that's not the only problem

Polle after the ultrasound scene represents Jimmy's child that never got to be born. That's why, in his conversation with Polle later on top of the mountain of empty mouthwash bottles, Polle asks "What should I call you? Old man? Seems a little above your pay grade."
Jimmy replies, "Pony Express is dead. *And so are you."*
This is also in consideration of the fact that Polle's dialogue text is the same color as Anya's. And the background is the nighttime window screen, which was Anya's favorite.

Swansea relapse partially being the reason Daisuke dies HURTSSS
wasnt his fault, he couldnt watch Daisuke suffer
@ I meant the fact he became an alcoholic again that was the reason Jimmy was able to spike him (Jimmy took advantage of his relapse and gave him a spiked drink knowing he wouldn’t refuse it) so if he never relapsed he might’ve said no to the drink and therefore daisuke wouldn’t have been able to get into the room with the vent and die.

I find it interesting that the game keeps mentioning and repeating “take responsibility” yet neither Jimmy OR curly take responsibility for their actions
How can the latter take responsibility when he's as broken as a mirror turned to sand?
@ fair 😞
The reason curly is even like that is because he tried to take responsibility and do something last second before the crash
curly didnt have time though? the ship crashes RIGHT after he enters the cockpit. id say his biggest flaw was not immediately confronting jimmy about assaulting anya.
Curly did take responsibility, that's why he's in the state where he no longer can.

I love how you can still fully digest and appreciate this game without actually playing it. Most of the time even with heavily story centric games i still feel like I'm missing out on something when watching a playthrough
Because its melodramatic trash and not a videogame, its more of a visual novel where you can use your WASD keys
I prefer watching/ playing horror games where your character can't die and you have to restart the level over and over. I mean you could probably die during the boss fights but still- mouthwashing is such a work of artt!

hi curly
I love Swansea so, so much. He was an interesting and complex character till his very last moment. I love how his last words were how we all feel about Jimmy x') He used his last breath to express himself, but lastly to make Jimmy feel like shit. Swansea was a good man.
I didn’t like him until that point
As much as I hate Jimmy that nasty piece of work I can't help but blame Curly as well for enabling Jimmy's behavior to the point of literally defending him when Anya confront him for SAing her
While it was obvious Jimmy was unstable and dangerous he was by no means out of options
Do you also blame Swansea for not doing anything to help Anya and instead getting drunk leaving her even more vulnerable despite knowing that Jimmy SA'd her?
@@sugarysweet07sure not as much as curly because he isn't the captain tho we also don't know when anya told swanse

cute pfp :']
literally what is Jimmy's issue? I feel like I'm missing something here. He did ALLL of that because... he was jealous that curly was better than him? like WHAT
well that, and also avoiding the consequences of what he did to Anya
@@coagulatedblooddrive I've been reading more into it now, and apparently I WAS missing something. What he did to Anya went completely over my head, and I was really confused about the whole pregnancy deal (Probably because Curly seemed so calm about it)
@@blomtomb7103 yeah, they definitely keep it very subtle! I feel like Curly's reaction is also just very much a depiction of how some people will hear about SA and say "I know him, he couldn't do that"
@@coagulatedblooddrive This is gonna sound really stupid, but my guess at first was like.. Jimmy and Anya were in a relationship, and then she cheated on him with Curly?? Which is why Jimmy got so mad and did all of that? But yeah knowing what he did to Anya now makes way more sense, and shows how much of a terrible person he is
@@coagulatedblooddriveSorry, can you help me understand where it was implied that it was not consensual? Idk if I missed something, but I went through thinking the whole time they just had a secret fling but she wound up getting pregnant from it and Jimmy was just avoiding being a father.
I actually have a theory (not to justify, if you don't like it or have something to add please feel free to do so). But it's kind of implicit that the conversation that Anya and Swansea had was most likely her telling Swansea that she was pregnant and that Jim had done it. That's why he said that "he was keeping his composure" once Jim entered the room. But honestly he was unable to do a lot bc of the critical state of the ship. And a personal theory is that Swansea knew Anya's plans of ending her life and that is why he was already on the door, like, he actually cared about her, but he knew there was nothing left to do... she wanted to end it, and he had no control over it exept for honor her desire and not disturb her. He was a drunk man, and ofc he was unable to protect Anya or Daisuke eaven when he tried before.
It was also speculated that once she told him she was going to end her life if they aren’t able to get out, that Swansee would save Diaske instead of curly in the cryopod

@@Что-ю3ъ Non linear is when you tell the events of a story out of order.

God i hope curly gets found and lives the rest of his life happy
he would need severe therapy after having to TAKE RESPONSIBILITY
Hola
Happy? He's never going to recover from that shit, even intensive therapy won't help. There's slight hope since apparently this is the future where they have the technology as seen from the Tulpar, to travel in space so there's hope that they have better technology to at least help Curly but he's never going to heal mentally and physically.

This game was so so much more complicated than anybody I see talking about it makes it seem, Anya and Jimmy and Curly had such a interesting dynamic, they're all such dimensional characters, I've never seen people call someone with such an interesting story one dimensionally evil, this is such a good game I wish more people would see into it more. Even the way curly still wanted to protect Jimmy and cover up for him and was willing to do anything to keep his best friend safe with him FUCK this games so good
this game writings is phenomenal, not even oscar winning horror movies are this level of writing, nothing is put there just because of the plot like one domensional character like you said. Everyone is fucked, all of them are trying their best, 3 of them are villains in their own ways, one is just unlucky, another is neglected. It's horrifically tragic but goddamn how realistic this game is told.
I need an AU where jimmy dies and the crew gets rescued
YESS
nah dying it's just an easy way of escaping, he DOES have to take responsability in some way or another (of course with the rest of the crew getting rescued)
He hit the poor guy at 45:10...You notice when he gives him the pills the other times Curly doesn't do anything, just crying. He got terrified from Jumbalala..
It hurts me that all of the crew died, thinking Curly is the one who crashed the ship.
if it makes you feel any better as time goes on they probably have more of a clue that it wasnt curly,, i refuse to believe,, even if its just wishful thinking,, anya knew it from the start-- she told him about the pregnancy whatever and the ship crashes, idk i feel like curly wouldnt do tjat on purpose especially since he had no connection to what happened,,

How the fuck did Curly survive that long without skin ? Throughout this entire thing, the constant question i had was why torture this guy by keeping him alive in excruciating pain ?
The more I think about it, the more I understand but then when I think about it more, I'm just as lost as before.
Pucker up developers im giving you THE kiss of the century.
Don't do it. Take this from a stranger you know nothing about.
I don't know you, or anything about your life. But George Carlin said it best: "This world's simply too entertaining to off myself. Everyone's born into the front row seat of the biggest freakshow in this circus of a universe, and that's humanity. It'll never get boring. Life is a one-time ticket. Use it well, because there's no refunds."
Man...i know some times live suck ass but, even like even when we are alone we can find something good to feel better things are'nt good by their selves WE make then good for our selves,
You can make your life good
the raw look, the weeping red all over his bed and the constant pained groaning sound makes me think that curly has deep 2nd degree burns - like the skin is mostly burned off, but he's not too damaged so the nerves are still pretty much intact. he can feel everything. people with this injury have recovered around 3 months after the incident with enough debriding and skin grafts. he would've been dead with 3rd degree burns without proper medical care.
I know this was a month ago but I just can't move past this without saying something. Please, don't do it. You'll find something to live for. Don't give up.
dude are you okay im here to talk genuinely DO NOT END IT PLEASE
Bro, jimmy litteraly blamed the fact that he SAd anya on Curly because he was in control of what happened in the ship like, "it's your fault i SAd anya because you weren't there to stop me, shame on you" pice of SHII person damn.
Also, curly isn't a saint either, he did fail to give anya a safe enviroment after she told her she was not ok with him being on the ship and curly knew but failed to listen to her, horrible situation all over.
Yeah, honestly I feel like people don't talk about how Jimmy was manipulating Curly in that situation by enforcing the idea that they are inseperable, and anything Jimmy does is also Curly's problem, and is Curly's fault. This creates pressure for Curly to defend himself for something he didnt do, while actually just defending Jimmy.
I love Swansea's speech so much, cause in a way it's awknowledging his flaws and settling with them completely for the last time in the face of Jimmy. Jimmy, who in his last moments couldn't even do that, he couldn't acknowledge his flaws, his wrongdoings, and was still too focused on Curly.
Bro when i knew that we are playing as jimmy at first playthrough, now i know why there's a baby crying whenever we saw the mascot..
45:07 curly’s noises here actually fucking hurt me so bad.
he sounds literally so miserable and it HURTS.
LEGIT
TW: Here I'm going to talk a lot about fucked up paraphilias and the reasons why Jimmy committed SA.
The scene where Jimmy is doing an ultrasound on that mass of flesh is a metaphor for how he felt when he did an ultrasound on Anya and realized she was pregnant. The fact that he found two things that look like dogs (although we later find out that they were Polles) moving erratically may be a symbolism of him not seeing his unborn children as humans and that Anya was carrying twins. The erratic movement they make may be a symbolism of how the babies were at an advanced stage where they could already move and the "barking" sounds they make could be a representation of their heartbeats and how the fetuses had already developed a heart. The fact that the fetuses were twins and are already at an advanced stage of development surprised and disturbed Jimmy a lot. That is why the Polles had such erratic movements and sounds. In that way we can feel the same fear and disgust that Jimmy felt. Since the babys are already very advanced in growth, aborting them would be considered murder in all countries.
If you're wondering how Anya doesn't have a noticeably large belly if her pregnancy is pretty advanced, there are cases where the baby may be small enough to not make noticeable changes in the size of the belly.
This scene ends with the mass of flesh waking up and vomiting out a bunch of Polles. This symbolizes that realization hited Jimmy hard. He realized that Anya was going to give birth soon and the responsibility of helping her do so would fall on him. This means that he is going to have to watch her give birth and help her deliver more than one baby. This scene symbolizes how that disturbed and disgusted him greatly.
I also have an interpretation about one of the final scenes where Polle talks to Jimmy. His dialogue text is colored light blue just like Anya's. This symbolizes that in Jimmy's nightmare, these two characters merged and are now questioning him about his responsibility. This kind of fusion is quite common in dreams. This fusion between Polly and Anya happened because Jimmy has a crush on both of them. Jimmy wasn't joking with Anya when he said he was sexually attracted to horse cartoons, even though she wanted to think he was just messing with her. He must have developed this attraction to Polle because he was locked in a place where there are many posters of him pasted in the hallways.
In fact, there is a scene that could symbolize this, where Jimmy falls through a hallway with walls completely filled with these posters.
The reason for his paraphilia could also be because while growing up or at least in Tulpar, he feels very sexually repressed and that's why he seeks to release himself sexually with almost anything that has a humanoid form. The need for release must also be one of the reasons why he decided to SA Anya.
And going back to how the animals inside the mass of meat were a bunch of Polles, they could symbolize that he came to feel a certain attraction to fetuses, if we remember that he is sexually attracted to Polle and how he is quite sexually deviant in general.
Back to the scene where Polle is talking to Jimmy, Polle wonders if he should call him boss or old man. This could be something Jimmy himself must have said to the higher-ups to try to get along with them or it could simply be a phrase said by another corporate. Jimmy probably dreamed that he would be the one to whom this phrase would be said one day and that is why in his nightmare he dreams that Polle says it to him.
"Seems a little above your pay grade. Given all this". Here Polle represents the company "Pony Express" and how the corporates there would talk to Jimmy if they found out what he did with Tulpar and his crew. After all, Polle is it’s official mascot.
“I know what you think of this predicament of yours” is a phrase that a businessman would use. There are a lot of people in the business world who choose to use complicated or highly technical phrases like “predicament” to sound more intellectual and feel superior, not caring if they are talking to people who are not very educated on these subjects and might not fully understand what they are saying. Seeing all the immoral actions that Pony Express has done, it is not surprising that such shitty businessmen are part of that company. They often use these phrases to confuse people into accepting abusive deals and they surely used this type of manipulation with Jimmy and the rest of the crew.
"Poor you, caged and misunderstood", this could be a phrase that doesn't sound like something that Anya or a businessman would say, so I think that this line is something that Jimmy thinks that Polle would say to him and something that he thinks himself.
"Polle says: [SORRY]" This is another skit from Pony Express, showing how they behaved when Curly was told that the crew will be fired. They should have said sorry for this, but the brevity with which the "SORRY" sign appeared shows how surely in the document they sent to Curly, this word appeared only once, being the only instance in which they worded an apology, feeling like rather cold, brief and empty apologies.
"If all of that is true... why are you still so concerned with him" This phrase would be said by Polle and is actually a way for Jimmy to tell himself in a non-direct way that he does not want to take responsibility for what happened to Curly. Jimmy was also afraid of Anya saying that line to him, when she asked him if he could give Curly's medicine for her, while Curly could hear her conversation from the infirmary. He became very defensive, showing that he really didn't want to do it. He started to get afraid that Anya would question his responsibility, so he became very verbally and emotionally abusive towards her so that she wouldn't dare to question him and it is for this very reason that he ends up agreeing to give Curly his medicine despite being very negative about it.
I also have an interpretation about the hallucinations Jimmy had at the beginning, when he crashed the ship and was going through the hallway and doors. The statues of Polly chasing him (if we remember how Polly can also symbolize the Pony Express company) are a symbolism of how Jimmy begins to realize that he will definitely receive consequences from Pony Express and the baby cries that are heard in the background indicate that he also became aware of the consequences that Anya's pregnancy could have (being obligated to being a father and having to calm his childrens cries at night).
Thank you ❤
Thanks now i hate jimmy mlre
wasnt it anya who realized she was pregnant first and then told jimmy and he just walked away ?
@euphorialover911 You're right, I missed it. Probably the ultrasound scene was in the nightmare so we could feel more immersed in how Jimmy reacted to Anya's pregnancy. Maybe Anya told Jimmy that she had an ultrasound and found out she had twins and was already a few months pregnant, maybe not very far along but enough to give birth on the ship. Considering Anya's personality and her fear of Jimmy, she shouldn't have told him these details in a dramatic or exaggerated way but still this information hit Jimmy hard. His reaction of just walking away might show us how stunned he was.
YESSS FINALLY SOME ACTUALLY GOOD CHARACTER DEEP DIVING FOR JIMMY LETS GOOOOOOO 🔥🔥🔥

not taking responsibility
His ego
@@departeddaylight2810I genuinely don’t understand how ‘taking responsibility’ would have fixed anything when they were all already fucked
@@crimeandspace taking responsibility would have prevented the inciting incident [crashing the ship]
He's a coward, a sociopath, and a narcissist.
The worst possible human being you can have in your midst.
1:21:43 this one line, this one "I told you" changed how I view Curly. Anya had already told Curly about what Jimmy did before this point. It was only when he found out she was pregnant from it that he took action because the assault could no longer be denied and hidden away and would look bad on Curly, who was _supposed_ to protect the crew. Plus, the only thing he said he'd do after hearing abt her pregnancy was to "talk" to Jimmy, which he _didn't even do_ until _after_ Anya told Jimmy abt it. He then even seems to consider Jimmy's idea of crashing the ship (given how he tried to stop it though, he probably wasn't 100% on board with the plan, but still).
Sure, Curly was in a really tough position as a captain, but I can't help but feel like he could've done way more for Anya.

But in all seriousness, everybody (including Jimmy) is so well written! Like wow i didnt expect this story to be so peak 😼
i dont get how anyones saying they like curly when he stood by jimmy despite knowing he was hurting anya
i think most people who like Curly like him because of his flaws, not in spite of them. he's not a perfect ray of sunshine - he's a human being who makes mistakes. he was too nice for his own good, and let that colour his judgement of Jimmy, rather than evidence from a victim. he still didn't deserve what he got, which is why most people root for him. no matter his mistakes, he's 200 times the captain Jimmy could ever be.
Mh I think he's a good character with quite realistic behaviors and decisions, he's not a hero, and I don't think he's portrayed as one. I like him because of that, he seems like a normal person in a terrible situation, who prioritized "keeping peace" over other aspects, which is something a lot of people do (and probably most people have behaved like that a few times during their lives). I think thats why people liked his character
true, i get that flaws are very human & i think he's a good character, it's just hard for me to imagine woobifying an enabler of sexual abuse. the scene before the crash where curly says that they'll get through it, relating to the pregnancy (and possible outing of what jimmy did). it reads like curly was going to keep sticking by & defending him even after it was revealed what he had done. it's off putting in a way thats too close to real life
@cack1e I don't exactly think he was enabling Jimmy and more so just unable to do much more. He went to confront Jimmy the day he was going to crash the ship which put him in a bit of an (unknowing) time crunch. As captain, he would have to think through every single one of his options to choose the right one that wouldn't affect the crew or the job that they still had to complete. Plus, Jimmy had an explosive personality and Curly was possibly walking on eggshells because he didn't want to set him off in fear that he'd do something rash and hurt himself or someone else. Whose to say he wasn't with Anya the entire time he was thinking through his options? There's a lot unsaid, and I think the information given isn't enough to label Curly as a bad man who enabled an abuser just because they were friends.
Not to mention that throughout the game, Jimmy is shown to belittle, mock, and degrade Curly and he usually just takes it and doesn't fight back. I wouldn't be surprised if he was scared of Jimmy himself.
Sorry for the super long message, I'm really passionate about the topic of morally gray characters and I've also played this game 5 times the past week so it's sort of taking over my mind lol. In my opinion, Curly isn't a bad guy, just someone who trusted others far too much and saw the good in people who didn't deserve it. He reminds me a lot of Daisuke in that aspect
@@envy1266it's the fact that curly just wanted to "fix things" instead of confront jimmy that enables the abuse. curly should have done more than just console a rapist and tell them "they'll fix it together". there should be no fixing, only accountability. it was his job to defend and support Anya, the victim, and yet all he did was console her literal abuser.
inaction can also be enabling. lack of justice is still injustice.

They definitely could've lived longer if Swansea didn't hide the cryopod. Putting one person in the cryopod means that one person doesn't have to eat or drink water for 20 years. There was like 8 months to go until the delivery was completed which means they had 8 months of food for 5 people. With only 4 mouths to feed, the amount would be 10 months of food. This 10 months of food would obviously be stretched for longer since they don't have to do normal activities which would reduce their caloric requirement. They could aid their caloric intake by drinking the mouthwash with its sugar content.
they should have put curly in the pod from the start
It woud've been logically smarter to put Curly in from the start. Saves on painkillers too. However, emotions, personal attatchments exist. They are only human. Sometimes due to these things, you dont always do the right thing.
