I knew it'd be tough, but I've played shit like IWBTG so I was prepared for some rough-going for gameplay. Celeste (January '20) Īfter an incident with a game in 2018 had me wanting to find a new thing to talk about with a recent friend, I hit up Celeste, having heard some good things about it from said friend, folks on Steam, and others on social media.there’s also the thing with him helping out with all the chores around the village - he didn’t do them because he truly wanted to or enjoyed them, but out of a sense of both obligation and the misconception that “these people are good, if i do the outward actions that they do i can become like them”.


like i said, it didn’t come off as him truly developing as a person or actually getting better, but more like he just didn’t WANT to be evil. truthfully, it seems more like he was trying to convince himself he wasn’t that bad of a person, and not her. the way this scene was written was also very interesting to me, as it didn’t seem like he was really changing as a character, but he also wasn’t just saying that to keep yumi from freaking out. archie himself also seems to recognize, however subconsciously, that he isn’t exactly the best person - going back to the conversation with yumi where he admits to attempted murder, he specifically says that he was FORTUNATELY bad at it. and, while we don’t get to actually see them, his unwillingness to even attempt to move on from his parents’ deaths implies that he was also very close to and emotionally attached to them. the one person in the book who was actually nice to him just so happens to be the one he cares about the life of. But, on the other side of this, you have the one person that was an exception to his neutrality towards death - yumi.
