The year Josh was preparing for the reunion prank must have been hell.
I can’t help but imagine the memories that would’ve haunted him, being back at the lodge by himself — especially in the state that he was in at the time.
Not only was it the last place he saw his sisters alive, but he and the twins grew up there — it’d been the family vacation home since the 90’s when Bob bought it.
They went missing in February, meaning the reunion took place after all of his first big anniversaries without them — his first birthday without them by his side as he blew out his candles, their first birthday not being there to be celebrated, the first Christmas he didn’t get to see Hannah get too excited for — making a huge list.
Their voices are engraved in his soul, confined deep within splitting walls of his memory like a dream he only remembers the feeling of. It’s distant, the figment, but his senses won’t allow him to escape its prominence. He’d replay his last moments with them over and over — even if he can barely remember how he had ended up on the couch that night…
Sometimes he lies there, in that very spot they had put him — If he closes his eyes, he can hear them, see the blurry visions of flickering firelight behind his sister’s familiar silhouettes, smiling down at him, so painfully close, but so far out of reach.
The memory of his sisters is warm, and somehow that contrast brought him the most grief of all. He clings back, deciding that any remnants of them are welcome. It’s not the way he should remember them, but it’s the only way he can.
He refuses to let it go, to let his sister-shaped wound to close and heal over. He refuses to let them become scars, to fade away, instead he claws the wound raw, desperately trying to keep the only part of them he still has, undying. His grief.
It’s almost masochistic, the way he grieves a memory he can’t quite grasp, pulling his own heartstrings raw until every moment he has is spent wallowing in his own self-made melancholy.
The lodge was home to a lot of storage his parents didn’t want cluttering their home in L.A. — boxes of old home videos, all of the twin’s creepy old cabbage patch dolls — the ugly little fuckers boxed away among the sibling’s many discarded trophies that his mother and father only glanced at before sending to the lodge to be piled with the rest of the family’s ‘crap’ ‘cluttering up’ their picture perfect home.
Of course, both of the twin’s rooms back in L.A. had already been cleared out and remodelled — Beth’s room now a home gym and Hannah’s a trophy room — wall mounts, rugs, the works of what you can do with the body of a dead animal.
It was like the lodge was the only place that his sister’s still existed… Although their absence almost seemed louder amongst untouched bedsheets and dust…
I recently got acquainted with the Saw universe)).
I especially liked one of the antagonists, Mark Hoffman. It's funny, but in his story, he is very similar to Hector Munday (Grantham Du'Met) from the game The Dark Pictures: The Devil in Me (although, given the chronology, Hector is more likely to look like him). Both worked for the FBI/police, being professionals in their field. Both committed their first murders for good reasons (Mark - killed an unjustly released murderer, Hector - euthanasia of an evil mother painfully dying of cancer). And both had someone who initiated them, so to speak. Mark has Kramer, Hector has Manny Sherman. But, unlike Mark, Hector did it much longer and more successfully… Although, again unlike Mark, Hector really liked it, even though he missed his days working in the FBI. For Mark, most of the murders were under pressure from Kramer or out of fear of exposure.
I would love a crossover with their collaboration))
I don't really like the heights of the characters in Until Dawn. I always picture them as the heights of the actual actors. Especially because in-game they're very inconsistent anyway, which I don't quite understand because the character models should never change size, so maybe it has to do with the positioning or angles... But regardless, seeing Hayden Panettiere as extremely tall and Brett Dalton as extremely short is just ridiculous.
If I remember correctly, the heights, according to their actors, should be... Sam - 5'2", Jess/Ashley - 5'4" (or 5'5"), Emily - 5'7", Matt/Josh/Hannah/Beth - 5'8", Chris - 5'9", Mike - 6'2".
And that's much better to me; I'd just make Matt and Chris 5'11" instead so the guys have a better height ratio, and also so Emily doesn't start towering over big Matt. Sam and Josh need to be short, they're honestly great as the short ones/duo of the group. Maybe you could make Ashley a little shorter than Jess, like Ashley 5'4" and Jess 5'5"; the heights there are shaky anyway and Jess gives tall model vibes too. Also, Hannah and Beth's are the only ACTUALLY confirmed heights in the game (asterisk), so they're tall and it's also kind of funny they're the same height as their brother too.
Also, Dr. Hill would be 6'2". I unfortunately can't find anything for Jack so I'll do more research on that. As for that asterisk, the wanted poster in the game shows that Victor is also 6'2", he just never actually appears in the game himself.
I’m so excited to see all of the #hades cosplays that Twitter and IG posts have promised me 👀 👀 👀 #zagreus WIP 😉 #cosplay #hadesgame #hadescosplay #zagreuscosplay #supermassivegames https://www.instagram.com/p/CFzfmdpA_IT/?igshid=17qi1g260w0z4
Just to be clear, I am completely unaffiliated with Supermassive Games. I’m just a fan looking to share updates as I see them released. I’ll do my best to keep this blog updated as we’re provided with updates, however if you want to know right away when there’s an update, I recommend following Supermassive Games and The Dark Pictures on Twitter!
Supermassive tends to put updates on their twitter even before they update their website, so it’s the best place for the most up-to-date and accurate information.
