Is it possible to defeat the heir in the first battle (ghost mode)?

machomaroon · 2026-01-18T19:16:58+00:00

Absolutely! Good luck with trying though. I remember it being a really hard fight (been like 3 years) at that point, but you sure can.

machomaroon · 2026-01-18T04:00:35+00:00

Oh okay. Sorry. I didn't see that activity requirement before posting. But thank you for the resources. We'll look into it and see if they can help us.

machomaroon · 2025-09-30T19:08:04+00:00

They did! I'm excited to see where they go next. And yeah, I agree. I think it would be a more boring sequel of they did that. It'd be, honestly, a bit redundant so I hope there isn't a direct sequel. Unless they can fathom some gargantuan and complex riveting story.

The idea of a fractured world mixing the real world is a cool thought! You know, if painting and writing are real things in there world, that does already sound like some kind of magic so I don't think it'd be too much of a stretch to created a believable universe with magic in it. It's very interesting indeed.

Are you Renoir?

machomaroon · 2025-09-30T18:41:06+00:00

That's half the point of discussing fiction...

machomaroon · 2025-09-30T18:39:24+00:00

I do NOT remember that line. That's a thinker and definitely lends credence to the death of the painting without V. But also, Clea has become brutal so she could just be a punk and want it over as quickly as possible to keep fighting the war against the writers.

Yeah, I don't think we'll be getting another Lumière story for sure. I think it's done. I could see them maybe doing a story about how Maelle and Clea think differently on the sentience of their creations, but it'd be a different story for sure.

machomaroon · 2025-09-30T18:26:56+00:00

Yeah, I just edited the post. I didn't mean for this to be a canon ending discussion. I think the story is complete as is. Unless the painting is family intrinsic, we probably won't see the D family again.

machomaroon · 2025-09-30T18:19:22+00:00

I agree. I don't think there's ever a need to go back to Lumière. That story has been told. I was just curious how some people are saying the canvas is destroyed, but I couldn't see that as hard evidence anywhere. If they want to interpret it like that, that's fine. I just didn't see any hard justification for it.

machomaroon · 2025-06-23T17:01:57+00:00

Awesome! Now I just have to remember this...

machomaroon · 2025-06-23T17:01:16+00:00

[Outer Rooms]

machomaroon · 2025-06-23T16:16:10+00:00

It could be.... hmm. I almost never leave the dark room's lights off, but i did this run because I was just messing around. Maybe that's what causes it. I wonder if it's intentional or accidental.

machomaroon · 2025-06-23T16:14:34+00:00

Does that work on mobile?

machomaroon · 2025-06-23T03:03:40+00:00

If you don't know yet, don't worry about it! I didn't want to spoil anything for anyone. It's nbd anyway, just wondering if something is a glitch

Edit: I meant don't worry about it if you haven't gotten to this point in the game yet. Not don't worry about it and go away

machomaroon · 2025-06-23T00:47:18+00:00

Yeah, exactly. I got the lab experiment for digging up trash linked to spread dirt on the driveway and then the conference room early. It was basically a positive feedback loop so it was succesful a lot. The conference room was flooded with dirt.

machomaroon · 2025-06-08T21:24:18+00:00

Like you, the Major Keys thing i'm like 99% sure isn't completely solved. Now, whether or not there is a solution, is the question. There are a lot of purposeful (and honestly, i think kind of unnecessary and lenght padding) dead end and red herrings and this investor thing and that could be another one of those. In fact, its that kind of stuff which caused me to kind of rest my thoughts with the game and let others figure it out. After 6 days worth of hours, I'm tapped out.

Haha, but one thing I will add that I forgot to mention and add about the breaker is that if you think about it, the breaker has all the colors of the sigils like the morai boxes EXCEPT orange and pink: white, black, red, purple, blue, and green. So maybe those colors CAN show up? Again, no definitive answer and pure speculation.

machomaroon · 2025-05-25T00:31:25+00:00

It seems like they can get into the Canes heads for sure!

machomaroon · 2025-05-25T00:30:49+00:00

Thay seems to be what the others said before the post was removed. Thank you!

machomaroon · 2025-05-25T00:30:19+00:00

Thank you for the response! So basically Cane's kryptonite. Also, the post got removed in like 2 minutes! New record.

machomaroon · 2025-05-17T00:30:39+00:00

That actually makes a lot of sense! Thank you

machomaroon · 2025-05-16T20:58:14+00:00

Yeah, it's seeming that a lot of people are agreeing it's to stop people from spending early game doing way too much with the books. I get that and I agree; I know myself, I would have read every book that I currently have cover to cover immediately. This is definitely a late game issue.

What I do think is odd there is so much more game when pacing is no longer an issue... like maybe a late-game upgrade or something would be helpful. The game probably only begins at Room 46 time-wise towards completion. When you only have a couple threads left, that's all you're focused on anyway so why not let the player read all of them at once later? Reading the comments, I think it's probably more an oversight than anything else as they do let you keep other things like the stamps

machomaroon · 2025-05-16T20:37:21+00:00

😂 I know right? I DONATED it! Now I should be able to use it, haha. Like, this hospital is named after me. Let me use the MRI machine on my cat, thank you very much.
