Drowned Ruby: Difference between revisions

 

“The internal battery has run dry. The game can be played. However, clock-based events will no longer occur.”

Well that’s weird…I didn’t remember that being there before, but I assumed it had been damaged by a console lying on top of it or just misuse. Once I skipped past the text box, I hit continue and I was standing outside of my house in Little Root. The screen was tinted blue as if underwater and all the NPC’s were void of color, and moving as if they were swimming or spinning in circles; some even flailing oddly as if panicking. When I attempted to talk to them they all said the same thing.

 

“Glug..gurgle..choke…”

And when my character (Reda) moved more she began to walk slower and slower. Even more discerning was that there was no music, just a continuous loop of the sound it made when you used surf in battle. I went into the other houses to see if it was like this too and of course it was.

 

 

“There’s nowhere for you to go and no one is here to help you.”

My heart stopped. Was the game talking to me? I panicked, tapping the A button furiously in order to make the text go away, not even thinking to turn the stupid game off. Another text box opened.

I tried desperately to move. I tapped A to make the box disappear.

 

 

“Flare: You happened to us!”

Flare screeched through the speakers and a flash streaked the screen. The text box reappeared with larger font.
