I initially posted this on discord, but I know there’s an active GT Karber fanbase here so here goes: I’ve been thinking about Letterinth for a while, notably that we don’t really get much in the way of our protagonist/central chaarcter’s lore. Murdle’s site has Logico titling each case, and appearing at the end to watch the guilty party get led away, and Bordergrams has a prequel to the story and direct communication to B as a Trainee. Letterinth doesn’t have anything.
And also the hint system warning us of a terrible fate… Bordergrams doesn’t have hints on its site, but with Murdle, while it’s framed as shady and underhanded, Irratino never lies or deceives you. And the wording is generally less malevolent. It just says we’ll be disappointed that Logico didn’t entirely deduce it himself. And in part, Letterinth’s Oracle does the same - they say that the cost is the satisfaction, but the wording (to me at least) frames it as a lot more horrifying beforehand compared to Irratino.
So, I’ve been wondering if perhaps we’re playing as the Minotaur trying to escape, and every time we consult the Oracle we’re actually further damning ourselves, becoming more and more like the beast that was meant to be confined, and by remembering language and quotes we’re working to regain our humanity and free ourselves. Idk, probably not, but it’ll be neat to see what the Letterinth lore is.
