these lines got removed but I can’t help but think of them all the time…

I think they’ll be back in the pristine cut? but I’m not sure. I hope they do.

Voice of the Smitten: "Are you even alive? What's the point of doing anything if you're not going to feel a single emotion."ALT
Voice of the Cold: "I don't know. I just exist, and that's fine with me."ALT

i don’t know, they just mean a lot to me. feels like despite being only 1 line for each, they give a lot more depth to both smitten and cold.

they add emphasis to how they’re near opposites; smitten being completely guided by his emotions and cold feeling pretty much nothing. and both of them are perfectly fine as they are.

the burned grey is honestly probably one of my favourite routes (but it’s hard to say since I love so many of them) and I love seeing these two interact.

(i also kinda ship them tbh…)

man, the skeptic could’ve been so much sillier. wink.

prisoner was one of my first routes, i was expecting him to have more funny moments but nah…

he’s still probably like the smartest voice. like, doesn’t he figure out the prisoner’s plan? at least that’s the impression i got.

the entire razor route is hilarious.

cheated is funny as shit, razor herself is funny as shit, the narrator getting talked over and just going “yeah sure whatever, I’ll shut up then”, contrarian, The Look™ (we’ve all used it), the voices being into flirting with her, stubborn 🤝 smitten when she does her bladey explosive transformation thing…

and while she is the funniest princess, honourable mention to the wraith because I think she’s second. “what do you mean what happens now, you wanted this!” then her calling you an idiot, or when she argues with the narrator over the door, her thanking the opportunist after he says she’s doing well with her narration… great route, tbh. funny.

this game is so good lol I love so many of the routes. my favourites are probably the burned grey, the wraith, the razor and the moment of clarity.
