The Misfits - First Blood: Pre-release guesses

There’s a new game getting released this month by @runawayoutlaw and @rottenbonethief (Edit: I asked for some clarification on credits, and got confirmation that @sugarhazard is taking a backseat for this one just to beta test it).

Before it drops, I figured why not do what I did for Zeitgeist and make a little list of pre-release guesses?

** = New Addition

From the looks of it (and the name), it’s possibly a horror based game like I’d been anticipating.  After playing the Zeitgeist demo (another game by them), I’m also going to guess it’s best to assume it’ll be 18+ (just for viewer safety).

Now you’re probably wondering, “Wow, do you actually have enough material to work off of to make good guesses?!”

Me: “.....No, not really :D”

The thing with the Misfits is there have been a lot of teases here and there, but that’s just it: teases.  On a rare occasion something substantial comes out, but the info has also been spread out quite a bit.  With possible revamping of the story and characters over several months, it’s difficult to really figure out what these guys are about.

Oh well.  Here’s my list of guesses.  Some are either incredibly basic, while others are completely random concepts I’m just throwing in with no basis.

1) Adam Whesker owns the bar.

2) There will be death endings.

3) Chase Valentine will not be the cause of any direct deaths.

4) Callum Willow has a medical issue.

5) Upsetting Quinton Willow is what starts you up on the path of a “bad time.”

6) The MC backs out of a deal (possibly with Quinton).

7) One of the Misfits works at or has a family member/friend who owns a butcher’s place.

8) The MC is coerced into some shady work (possibly by threats).

9) The Misfits have a strong sense of camaraderie.

10) Avery Greyson never takes a liking to the MC.

**11) There’s a police officer (off duty or incognito) hanging out at the bar you go to.

**12) Certain choices will allow said police officer to find and help you out later in the game.

That’s pretty much all I got.  It was hard to think of more.  I did try to think of a different type of setup rather than just “you insulted some dude and now his gang’s going to mess you up.”  Though for all I know, that IS the basic plot, haha.  It depends on the temperament of these characters and if there’s a deeper story we’re going to see.

We’ll see what happens.  At the very least, this’ll give me yet another post to make after the game’s release where I can compare what I got right and what I got wrong.

Oh, and just for fun, here’s the crack theory take:  “These peeps are just being nice and taking you on a tour around town since you’re new.  You know, bars, butcher’s place...the morgue....nothing wrong here.  Good times.”

Rockland: Mortician pre-release thoughts PT 2

The date of this post is 2/20/19.  Please note that information revealed at this time via Patreon or any of the creator’s blogs may be subject to change after this date. 

Here I’m going to talk about I guess the “likelihood” of Quill killing the MC and possible game story.  At least what I can manage to talk about.

So coming straight off of my last post, I think I lean more towards the side that Quill can/will be trying to kill the MC in “The Mortician.”  At least I think so only because of what I’m suspecting to be the genre of this game.  From what I understand, the Rockland universe is going to encompass several different stories.  The characters will probably be reusable, but there will be different sections focused on.  One of the creators mentioned that the games could fall under horror, drama or mystery.  Some I’m sure maybe even fall into multiple categories.  It’ll likely depend on which group of characters each game is following.  I’m going to go out on a limb here and guess that the first three games, “The Artist,” “The Puppetmaster” and “The Mortician” (all part of The Misfits category), are very likely going to be horror oriented.

I really don’t have too many reasons to believe why this is the case.  One reason would be that, I can just very easily see any of the titles representing horror characters.  Another reason is because I think all of the creators have at least some prior experience or interest in the horror genre.  Any of their followers would also see this, so to pull in an audience they may think it’s a safe bet to start with their strengths and what they know their followers would likely want to check out.  After that, they can branch out from there.  That’s just a guess though.  The first Rockland games (besides “Zeitgeist”) may surprise me.

Okay, so back to Quill.  I think it’s definitely possible that he can kill the MC because I think the game will be horror.  The thing is though, I’m not 100% sure of the reason why Quill would kill you.  Yes, he’s kind of odd (as established in my last post), but it doesn’t necessarily means his interest in the dead automatically makes him want to kill people.  It certainly could, but it’s not a guarantee.

Here’s a fun fact:  One of the creators once had a game they were going to create alongside “The Artist” called “The Serial Killer.”  At the time of this post, “The Serial Killer” has been scrapped and I have no knowledge if the character that was to be used will show up in Rockland at some point.  The reason I bring this up is because normally I WOULD have assumed these three games were all about three different types of serials killers.  But then it would have been odd to specifically have one labeled as “The Serial Killer,” wouldn’t it?  Perhaps the game idea was scrapped because that would have been confusing and the three titular characters are indeed serial killers now.  It’s a possibility.

If I can trust Google, the quick definition of a serial killer according to the FBI is “someone who commits at least three murders over more than a month with an emotional cooling off period in between.”  Now with the characters that are designated as the Misfits, Runawayoutlaw stated, “There’s a whole group of these guys that know each other and I always tag all of them under the Misfits but for this game these are the people that aren’t trained in killing X’D they’re just kinda there.”

What this tells me is that these characters at the very least don’t kill as a profession.  If I want to assume my theory about them not being serial killers is correct, then my guess at the moment is these three characters CAN kill, but don’t on a regular basis.

So now I have this question: “WHY would Quill kill the MC?”  This is the part that gets hard for me without knowing what gameplay model the game is going to follow.

First, and currently only idea, that comes to mind is perhaps the MC gets in over their head and Quill needs to deal with them for some reason.  Perhaps they find out a secret about Quill, or even some sort of secret about the group he’s a part of (aka the Misfits).  This would be under the assumption that who exactly the Misfits are plays has a larger role in the story.  When I talked about “The Puppetmaster,” I was mostly focused on the gameplay routes and characters interactions because I had more to work with.  I did say though that the Misfits could be involved in the story somehow, or at least be mentioned as some sort of Easter egg.  Without knowing any plot or gameplay details regarding “The Mortician,” my current guess is the group designation may play a bigger role in the game.

I don’t have a lot of other ideas besides this for now because I keep asking myself “Why on earth would someone go to a mortician like Quill?”  Well, there’s the obvious;  Someone died and you actually need his business.  But then what exactly happens from there that would make things go downhill for the MC if this is indeed a horror game?  If my other theory of Quill not being a serial killer is correct, why in this situation would he not just treat this interaction as the usual “business” for him and instead start to antagonize the MC?

I think I’ve reached the limit here for what I can think of.  If more information comes out, or I have an epiphany, I’ll label another part.  This seems like a good stopping point otherwise.

Rockland: Mortician pre-release thoughts PT 1

The date of this post is 2/16/19.  Please note that information revealed at this time via Patreon or any of the creator’s blogs may be subject to change after this date.

Originally I was going to talk about “The Artist” before I got around to “The Mortician,” but it’s a waste for me to not write ideas down as they come.  Both games there’s hardly any information out at this time regarding either the characters or gameplay.   So unlike “The Puppetmaster” where I at least had gameplay ideas to work with, these other two games I’m throwing shots in the dark for.  Just bear with me please.  These thoughts might get a little wild and lack structure because of this.

Why don’t I start with the titular mortician himself: Quinton Willow, also known as Quill (I will have to decide how on earth I’m going to tag this guy properly in the future).  Quill I believe is Rottenbonethief’s character if I’m not mistaken (I will correct this later if I’m wrong).  Runawayoutlaw will still be the one creating the game (again, I think).

First off, let me get something a little silly off my chest.  Whenever I think of Quill, the first image that pops into my head is this guy with a huge happy grin on his face who says, “Dude, wanna see my morgue!?”

Number 1)  This is completely stupid of me because I’m pretty sure funeral homes don’t have morgues.  Just hospitals.  I think.  Regardless, this still keeps popping up in my head as inaccurate as it is.

Number 2) More importantly, it shows off my initial view of Quill as a guy who’s completely  happy with what he does (and fits into his profession) but is also a little unsettling.

Now morticians are interesting people to begin with.  They are constantly exposed to death for their profession.  It probably depends on who you ask what a person thinks of morticians in general.  On one hand, they are individuals who do their best to prepare the dead for friends and family.  They carefully tend to the bodies and arrange funerals that allow loved ones to properly grieve and send off those who have passed on.  On the other hand, it does make a person question what kind of individual doesn’t get worn out from seeing so many corpses and even making a profit out of it.

I don’t know what my own opinion on morticians is in general.  Somewhere in the middle I suppose.  My own personal joke is that a mortician will never be without work since death in an inevitable part of life.

When it comes to morticians depicted in fiction, I believe the majority of the time I see them as these very creepy individuals with this complete acceptance or even love of death.  They might even just view tragedies as “more business” for them.  The kind of people you don’t usually want to hang out with.  When I see this though, I think the character is usually pretty brief in the story.  The mortician I think I’ve seen the most of in fiction is the Undertaker from Black Butler.  He fits the model I just described in a way, but he also is very light-hearted and comedic (sometimes hard to take seriously).  He can definitely have a morbid sense of humor too.  I believe the only other odd example I’ve seen are Robbie’s parents in Gravity Falls.  Despite their profession, they’re very happy and bubbly (and their house looks cozy).  I think they do still make like jokes about death though.

So yes, morticians in fiction tend to be anything but “normal.”  In fact, even if a mortician DID seem to act “normal,” that also might seem strange.

Getting back to Quill, I think he definitely fits into this mold of “questionable individual.”  He seems like the type of person that either has a fascination with death or simply isn’t bothered by it (hence his interest in road kill), so he’s in a field that fits him.  He also appears to be a fairly younger individual that may be more upbeat than an older mortician though, so less of that creeper vibe going on.  I feel like he’ll be the type that looks cool and seems like he might be fun to talk to, until he opens his mouth and starts talking avidly about his interests and hobbies.  That’s when a person might decide to quickly part ways unless they also happen to be colorful characters themselves.  At least that’s my guess at the moment.

Another thing I’ve been debating about Quill recently is:  Is he a killer?  I’m not sure for a number of reasons.  But talking about that will lead into a talk about what kind of game “The Mortician” is or isn’t, so I’ll leave that for the next part.
