Welcome everybody to a game called mouthwashing. I played the demo to this game a while back. The full game is out I'm excited to play this. I know you all are too.
If you guys cool with that, you down with that? Everybody get ready and buckle up because here we go! Pony Express Long Haul Space Freighter Toolpar. Crew?
Five. Five for how long though? Because I know that we're gonna resort to mouthwashing.
Planned shipment duration, 382 days. That better be a fat paycheck when I get back to the earth. Elapsed transit time, 147 days. I'm not a mathematician, but that's gotta be halfway, no? I hope this hurts.
Hey chill, what you talking about? Wait, hope what hurt? What's going on here?
I hope this hurts. It does already, because I have no idea what's going on. And I got an achievement.
for just starting mouthwashing zero days before the crash an orbital body has been detected 21 au ahead of the vessel please make a manual correction 1.4 degrees leftwards to avoid impact with unknown mass please don't actually make me do that because i have no idea what i'm doing it's locked okay let's back up steer right or leave i'm steering right because that sounds about right to me What is that? Is that outer splissy? Direct collision course with orbital body 1.9 AU away. Engaging autopilot to recorrect vessel. Advise crew to take up emergency positions.
4,000 credits docked from crew pay package for failure of navigational staff. Shit, my fault. That's on me, everybody.
I can't let anyone in. There's nothing else to be done. How do I warn the homies?
Open this. A length of nylon rope Danger Pony Express Protection Kit Use only in case of emergency Captain access only Code scanner required I'm the captain, right? Pass Okay, that's my employee card Anya An emergency generator Key Yes, I'll take that.
Close that up. And let's get out of here. Because we did not do that. Okay, use it. Can't use this here.
Oh, I use this here. Okay, I got you, everybody. Use that. Cha-ching. Disengage autopilot.
I gotta do it myself. I'm not relying on AI. Wait, no. Let me try to steer it one time!
Okay. We gotta go warn the people. I played the demo of it and it looks like this was the part that I played But i'm not quite sure Let's keep going Yeah, I remember going down through this hallway and there was like an emergency happening So i'm already kind of freaked out Uh-oh What's going on Yo, don't do this to me game What the heck Where do I go?
Yo, why do I got the chills already? Hmm, that's locked. I don't remember where I came from. My eye is itchy. One second, everybody.
Oh, okay. I remember you. Yeah, you're the Pony Express hoe. Got it.
Oh no Okay, okay, okay Yo, the hairs on my legs are standing up to full attention. I do not like this Pony Express, dude? Okay How?
Bruh, I just want to go see my crew There's about to be four crew in a second if I don't make it Alright. Oh shit, what the heck is this noise? Sounds like a weird mosquito buzzing in my ear. Mosquito full of dread or something.
Two months after the crash. Don't look at me like that everybody, it's not my fault. Anyone else would do the same thing. We ain't touching the damn cargo.
The hold is locked down for a reason. The only thing worse than dying slowly is not getting paid. But it could be something useful, I think. Could be what? Hopes, dreams, and marzipan?
Ha! You don't have to. If it helps us survive, it's worth it.
Man, Pony Express bosses really aren't chill at all, huh? Come on, a quick look won't hurt. How exactly is this group therapy committee planning on getting in there?
Oh, right here, boss. You're looking at the meanest swing of the regional junior baseball team. Straight up nearly corked a kid once.
I could take the utility axe and... You were goddamn born fully corked. That's enough, Swansea.
There has to be an in-case of emergency way inside. If I remember correctly from the safety protocols... The door should have an alternate access code, but it can only be uncovered using a code scanner device.
And only the captain has access to the scanner. Of course. Go ahead and ask him all about it then. Maybe he'll sing you the blues too.
We don't need him if we find the scanner, get the code, and open the hold. For better or for worse, I'm captain now! I'll figure it out.
Right on! I don't want that responsibility, but I guess I manned up? I put my big boy pants on.
So we got a whole bunch of this space blues here. And I'm pretty sure it smells like a Seattle fish market. But should I get to know everybody? Let's talk to Daisuke one time.
Looks like it'll be soup again for dinner. You want a rock, paper, scissors for the chicken noodle? How much food do we have left?
I'd say like four months-ish? Hmm. Less than the remaining air supply, but we can make it last. In theory. We'll be starting to poke new holes in our belts pretty soon to pull that off.
Man, my mom will straight up stuff me when I get back. I'll look like Swansea. We'll have a rad story to tell though.
They might even write articles about us. We could be on TV. Uh, it'll impress the ladies too.
Hell yeah. The real problem is us running out of toilet paper. Fatal stuff, man.
We should leave that part out for the press. I don't think running out of toilet paper... is the least of our concerns. Because even if we shit and we don't wipe our ass, we can always kind of wash it too with the mouthwash, right?
I mean, I know it'll smell like menthol and maybe like a cold breeze will make our buttholes tickle, but I think we could wash our asses with mouthwash, no? He doesn't want to keep still anymore. What about the painkillers? He, it just hurts him so much. I can't stand the noise.
You did make it through nursing school, right? Pony Express sure does know how to cut corners, if nothing else. Um, I was thinking, we never went back into the cockpit after we dragged them out. It's almost entirely foamed up. Kind of a miracle Curly didn't end up fossilized.
That name Curly, man. Shorten Curly. But it could still be unstable. I just think, well, it's the only place the code scanner could still be.
Otherwise, we're shit out of luck. I'll take a look. I know you'll figure it out, Jimmy.
You're so capable. Oh, also, well, um, I was hoping you could help me with Captain... Curly?
Right, sorry, with Curly's medication? People have to be worth their titles. Don't you think, Nurse Anya? Yeah, forget I asked. I'll take care of it.
Yeah, let me take care of Curly. Bro shortened Curly. Look at that nub. Bro don't even have a hand. Hey Curly, how you doing?
Yeah, open wide for me. Okay, close that thing. You know that breath is kind of hot and he has no legs So is he the one that crashed the ship or the person that we're playing as were we the pilot? This vent has been busted forever at least according to swansea Probably beyond wreck now.
How do I give this dude medicine? These are all we have left. I'll take painkillers Should I give them to him?
Let me see. I can't use this here. What about on him?
Can't use this here? Okay, we don't care about Curly. We said fuck Curly.
We're on team fuck Curly. But I got the painkillers. So I think my mission is to check the cockpit. This was also part of the demo too.
I think once we... That's supposed to do that everybody. I think once we actually check the cockpit and talk to Curly after, I think that's when the demo ends.
So I know people are going to be like, didn't he play this before? I swear I've seen him play this before. Ain't you supposed to be figuring out our great cargo robbery?
Why are you standing out here? None of your goddamn business! Everything is my business now, because of Curly. I don't want to keep having this conversation.
Ride, ride, Capitano. I'm working. Blue collar fools can't afford to stop working even when the machine does. Go figure.
And before you start, I'm taking a break. Don't you worry. I ain't going over my break time allowance.
Ha! Working on what? How does it look in there? It's a solid wall of foam. I'm trying to see if I can break it down enough to get something useful out.
Any of my tools. But if I breach that foam and break the air seal, it slides out for all of us. I ain't letting anyone else mess around in there.
Even Daisuke? He's your intern. He's supposed to be helpful. You think I'm letting that knucklehead in here after the crash roughed it up?
Our so-called nurse nearly skewered her leg when the vent hatch was open during maintenance. And that was before the crash. I warned her, but it's in one ear and out the other.
Then there's that teeny bopper thinking only with his downstairs long nose. Just like my useless kids back home. So no, ain't letting anyone mess around in here. Alright Swansea, keep me updated. So what am I supposed to do?
He's guarding that thing like the Royal British Army Guards the Queen or something. And I think I need to figure out his tools, right? Okay, I do remember this.
I need to figure out some kind of code. But this whole place is covered in foam. What do you think it smells like, everybody? Does it smell like a Seattle fish market? It might.
It might smell like something hot. I guess I'll go... Oh my gosh, I did the complete circle! I just threw my bubble butt ass in a circle, dude. Are you gonna feed Curly his meds?
He really suffers without them. Yeah, yeah. His bandages are also looking wet. I know. We're out of fresh ones.
So we had to reuse the ones we wipe our assholes with? All right. Open wide, Curly.
Hold still, yeah? I don't like this any more than you do. You know what they say.
Pain is how we know we're still living. And he's like, Oh, no. I can't bear to listen.
Excuse me, sorry. We don't get to hear the noises? Alright, I'll make the noises.
Oh, there we go. Bro gagging. Bro's a little gagger. He's a little gaggy gaggerson. But at least he's not gonna feel pain no more, right?
Good, Curly? Yeah? You swallowed it?
It's not under the tongue? Okay. You rest up now, Curly, okay?
I'll have a fresh bandage after I'm done using the toilet. I'm outta here. I think we have to cheer up Anya now, right? We don't have a whole lot of painkillers left. But you still wanna keep...
Why do you think he did it? Does it matter? What answer would make you feel any better?
I have to believe that our worst moments don't make us monsters, Jim. I have to, even in his case. He tried to take us all down with him, Anya. The way I see it, there's two reasons to keep him alive at this point.
Guess the important bit is that we all agreed to it, for one reason or another. I'm still feeling nauseous. I need a minute.
Okay. Just a minute though, then it's back to work. I think now that I did that, it should open up some new avenues for me to proceed to, right?
Papa, Papa who? Pony Express presents Papa Polly's Delights. Okay, I was about to say, better ingredients, better pizza, Papa John's type shit. But let's go to the cargo, because I need to figure out how to get into that utility thing.
But I also need to figure out how to get a code. And Swansea's still chillin' right there. There we go. This is where I wanna be. Alright, everybody kept telling me to play this game, and I love that.
Because who doesn't love people wanting me to play the game, you know what I mean? Like, it's an honor that people wanna see my take on it. I was gonna get around to it.
The cargo hold. Hold on, let me see something real quick. But yeah, it's an honor that a lot of people want me to play like so many different games So I really appreciate that and i'll never take that for granted So I just want to make sure like it's a great experience for all of us Hold on.
Wait 739 What about that what's that nothing Okay, but 739 But yeah, I see the comments everybody. I know people wanted me to play mouthwashing And I definitely wanted to play it too because the demo was really interesting. Swansea hasn't let anyone in utility since the crash. Says it's filled with foam. But sometimes, I'll let you in on a little secret.
I'm not exactly in like the 100% headspace to give everything to like certain games. But I'm in the mood now. Like I'm fully in the mood.
I don't ever want to give anyone a bad experience. Oh sh- shoot. It wasn't 739? 4517. My bad, everybody.
What's everyone thinking right now? You want me to go first? I don't know if I'm equipped for that, man. I know I said I'm the captain, but not really, you know? It's just a title.
Okay. I think that happened to me in the demo too. What the fuck?
Are you listening? Yeah, yeah. Damn.
I'm so sorry. Couldn't sleep again. But I passed the Psyche Val? Well, you gave the same answers as last time. I do wish you'd open up a little more, Captain.
These evaluations aren't just about you. As long as I'm fit to fly in your eyes, Anya. Oh, stop it. Guess that means I only have one more eval left to do. Jimmy?
He acts as if I do these things for fun. Then I have to make a report with things like... I have found myself sexually excited at the sight of cartoon horses.
Ha! Well, I could take it off your hands. Really? I've known him a long time.
He won't try any bullshit with me. I suppose you are the captain. I am the captain.
Thank you. What a relief. Oh, before I forget, Swansea asked me to give you this.
They can't expect me to perform miracles. Yeah, but I can. Not sure what it means, but sounds like fun. Good luck, Captain.
Thank you. But I guess whatever happened to my face, talk to Jimmy and Swansea. I don't remember this, everybody. So this has got to be something new. I don't remember the ship looking like this.
But if I did already play through this part in the demo. I apologize. Gomenasaya.
Lo siento. Any language you need me to say. The door to my quarters.
I'm still on the clock though. So, clock this. Clock me sleeping in my bed. I don't care. You can put it on the camera feed too.
They can see me sleeping with my ass up on the security footage. And what are they gonna do about it? I'm the captain now, baby. And Pony Express said they don't provide onboard entertainment.
Feels like there's always something broken in that room. Tulper's starting to show her age. Past inspection, right? Shouldn't be an issue. Mm.
Plus they added Daisuke last minute. Didn't account that there'd be five of us now. I really should have made a bigger stink about that.
He looks like the dude from Wolf Among Us. He looks like the Great Value version. Well, I can see the issue.
The kid was brought on just to make me suffer! You didn't turn my ass! I was just trying to fix the vent!
How did that trigger the emergency phone? Because you're talented in all the wrong ways! I would have dealt with this, but only you can unlock the X-Case. Every goddamn thing has to go through you. I'll handle it.
Hang in there, Daisuke. Bro's knee deep in foam. Bro's dick is in foam too. Do not touch.
I won't touch it, I promise. But I need to go unlock the axe case. Where is my skinner?
Two six zero nine. That's actually really cool. I like that mechanic. Two six zero nine. Boom.
Give me that X. Okay, Daisuke. Gonna have to chop your freaking legs off.
How do I do this? Oh. Okay. It's like kind candy. Your weak-ass legs couldn't just come out of that?
Come on, Daisuke. Freaking interns, man, I tell you. Ouch. Ooh, strong stuff, huh? Get it through your goddamn skull.
That vent is strictly off-limits. Fully freaking collapsed inside! You looking to get impaled, electrocuted, and cooked?
Yeah, but like... You can't fit in there to fix it, right? So I can totally handle it. Captain. Give me the axe.
Swansea. This could have damaged the pods. You can't let something like this happen again.
Yeah, yeah, I got it. Loud and clear. Keep the axe until you've cleaned this all up, yeah? Let me talk to Daisuke real quick. It's okay to be big, boss.
My gramps was super huge. And he lived until like 60? Wow, the great old grandpappy age of 60. God damn, bruh. What are you standing around for? Clean this mess up!
Yeah, clean that mess up, Daisuke. You're starting to stink up the place. What's up, Jimmy?
I take it Anya diagnosed you with being sane then? Just off-center, but it's what keeps me on my toes. I said I'd do yours.
I want to hear all about those cartoon horses. Is that something you were born with or a recent develop- Alright, alright, shut up. Let's go to the cockpit.
Why? Is that the one that you get turned on by horses or something like that? Something crazy like that? Come on, Jimmy.
If you have some skeletons in the closet, you might as well let them out right now. Better dust off those skulls. I don't remember the cockpit being this far though. Right?
Why is it this deep down? Huh? Hey, no way. Captain?
I think we're in the wrong ship. Because I don't remember it being this far down. Unless you're starting to get ship fever.
I heard that's a real thing on other planets. Yeah. I heard about tripping balls, but this dude is tripping balls. What are we doing in here? Jimmy?
We're gonna have that evaluation now. Meet me in my office. Where am I?
I feel like I'm on a blood planet. I'm on some iron lung type shit. Imagine this view though. Like if you're actually standing in something like this.
I'd be freaked out though because in any direction, like you do a free- Like you do a full 360 What is that? Woah! Here she comes!
Yo! Why was that actually kind of cool? Damn, that was like seeing a sunset in reverse.
So that would make it a sunrise. Duh, Jay. Come on, man. I feel like Curly right now. Current day Curly.
All right, let's have that evaluation. My bad. I was tripping balls.
You can't just make something up for this. It's not like these evals ever go anywhere when we get back. We'll power through it. Have you been able to complete your mandated tasks as co-pilot efficiently and to your fullest capacity? Uh, let's see.
So the fact that he was the co-pilot, does that mean that he's the one that crashed the ship? Because were we playing as Jimmy the entire time? Where was Curly?
I'll just put good for that one. That's all of them. Done and done. How are things otherwise? Off the record.
I like it. We're in control here. Didn't think you'd ever take to being a freighter pilot as well as you have.
What with how you struggled back on Earth. Sure, all I ever hear is how great of a leader you are. Honestly, it's kind of annoying. Oh, smells like jealousy!
So what is it? Huh? How come it always seems like you're standing on the edge of the bridge with your feet in cement?
Lately I've just been thinking. Is this enough? Should I just stay here because I've been successful at it?
A good long-haul freighter captain. And that's bad? That's what I'm saying, it's not.
But it's terrifying. I think, am I figured out? Is this all I'll ever be?
Or do I take the risk and try something new? Even if I'm bad at it. Hmm, I guess I get it.
You reached the highest rung on this ladder. So now you're thinking you might be on the wrong ladder altogether. Still a long way down from the top, no matter how you look at it. Well, I'm still climbing and climbing.
Something like that. But hey, hey, hey. You know I believe in you.
Here, on Earth. Doesn't matter. Ha!
You should write that on the psyche, Val. Message incoming. Oh no! The big guys themselves!
Guess that's my cue. I'll see you later. That song that was playing in the background, that almost put me in a trance.
I really like that. Okay, how do I look at the messages? How do I look at the messages? Right there.
Take news from corporate. Oh no, not corporate. Aw, come on game.
I wanna see what corporate had to say. Cause you know they're gonna be talking shit. Does that say take responsibility? It did.
I'm taking responsibility! Psych. I ain't taking responsibility for shit. I don't even know what I did. I'm just over here doing my thing, alright?
I'm letting my dick swing. Let's see if anything good's on. Huh!
What are those like 1940s cartoons? Dragon Breath? Your mom has Dragon Breath.
A revolutionary new dental hygiene product. Brand new formula designed to kill bacteria and kill germs without leaving a bad taste. Dragon Breath Mouthwash. All day, fire fresh. Consult with your local dental hygiene specialist before, during, and after use of- Of course, right?
Because it could lead to death, could lead to two months after the crash. That's what it could lead to, everybody. It's- this is- mouthwash? Un. Fucking.
Believable. There's gotta be a notion of the stuff in here. This room looks freaking endless. This is what they'd have five people hauling for over a year?
All of this? For mouthwash? The sugar content probably offsets any potential as a disinfectant. Disinfectant?
What are you- Let me see that! 14% ethanol Ha! Ha ha ha ha ha! Ah ha ha ha ha?
I suppose we'll smell good at least? That's right kiddo, you can bet your ass on that! What are you doing?
Stop that! I don't think that's... Eh, whatever.
Woo-wee! Oh, shut up! I'm just an old codger taking care of his dental hygiene. Hear that? That's the sound of 15 years of sobriety popping like a cyst.
A glorious, magnificent, red-hot cyst. Good riddance and cheers! To Captain Curly!
Hear, hear! Guess anyone could get seriously blasted off of this stuff. Yeah, and kill you in the process.
This can't be real. I- there's no way. Now we can go out in style.
Daisuke, come here. Anyone ever teach you how to drink like a man? Just when it gets interesting, it takes you to another part of the story six days before the crash. I like this style of storytelling. I really do.
I need to break the news to everybody after all these years just like that. Hold on. I can't actually- read it yet. My fault, everybody.
Okay, so I guess when I break the news to them, it's gonna break the news for everybody else watching at home. Including me. Because I actually kind of wanted to get a sneak peek. How do I unequip this hoe? Okay, there you go.
I need to tell them. Oh, my bad. They're right here.
Me? Surprise! For me?
Surprise! Look at your face! Gotcha! Cheers!
Uh, wow. What's the, uh, occasion? We only get one communal birthday party per trip, right? So we can have it whenever.
Only one person can really be surprised birthdayed per trip. We did Swansea last haul, remember? No way, I can't believe I missed that. You were next on the list, so... Congratulations!
Hate to say it, though. Your duties have to extend to even your own birthday party. You're the only one with clearance to make the cake. The recipe is there by the machine.
Hop to it, Captain. I have to make my own cake? How dare you all surprise me?
And I have to make my own freaking birthday cake? Shame. Everybody.
Four, shame. Shame on you. And Jay says, I don't give a- Water, gelatin, sweetener, tonic. Water, gelatin, sweetener, tonic.
Okay, water. Where's gelatin? Okay, put water.
There you go. Where would the gelatin be? Oh, I actually have to use the code for these bad boys. Okay, 4, 2, 1, 3. 4, 2, 1, 3. 4, 2, 1, 3. I thought that was actually the music player.
I'm not gonna lie to you all. I thought that was for me to play music. Okay, put that there.
And then what else do I need? I need tonic, right? So tonic would be 1, 3, 2, 4. 1, 3, 2, 4. Okay. Go there.
That tonic. And then what's the one that's restricted? Captain access only? Oh, sweetener. Okay.
That one is 2, 3, 4, 1. So let's turn this off. two three four one thank you and here we go okay does it matter where i put it i hope not i can't use this here oh i can't use this here why not so to make the cake i need to put water and then i have to do it like that so let's go blue Yellow, purple. Why is it not letting me do it?
Huh? How do I mix you hoes? And then we mix those two.
Okay, and then we do boom, bop, and happy freaking birthday. You gotta make a speech. Can't argue with that. Speech!
Speech! Speech! Go on!
I... Hey, what's wrong? I have to break down the news for them.
That's all it said on the report from the management. We will receive the paycheck for this delivery. I don't know any more than that. Pony Express finally kicking the bucket, huh?
What a joke. And we're the punchline. I don't have any savings.
They can't do this, right? Pony Express was one of the last manned crew freighter companies. The writing's been on the wall for a long time. When did they tell you? Earlier this week.
I was instructed to wait until we're closer to the haul destination. But I can't keep something like this from you all. So I guess you got what you wanted? Without the guilt? Jim, if I had known, I can go back to my...
How do you put it? Struggle of a life? Anya never got into medical school because she's, well, let's be real.
In how many employment years, Swansea got left in him. Daisuke will be fine, mommy and daddy have him covered, so there's that at least. But you, headed for bigger and better, right?
I'm just, I'm just working on my life being a place I don't have to fucking escape. That's what I was trying to tell you, nothing more- We're the ones you're trying to escape! Leave the dirt behind now that your boots are clean.
That's not what I meant. It is what you meant. You just couldn't frame it to yourself in a way that kept you as the hero. Abandon the crew but remain the model captain. Unbelievable.
What? What am I supposed to do? Let's have some freaking cake, huh? Props to the Twilight Cruise of the Tulper.
Props to our captain and his new projects. Something leads me to believe that Jimmy's the one that crashed the whole ship. But do y'all want cake?
Here, let me slice it for you all. Who wants the big one? Who wants the first slice?
Usually the birthday boy or the birthday girl gets the first slice, right? Slice that up. As you all can tell, I've never had to make my birthday cake for myself, so I don't know how to cut it! Excuse me! But let me just completely half this thing.
Half for me and then half for the rest of you four. That's a delicious cake though. I'd eat that. Three months after the crash.
Hey, you guys can hear that? Check on Curly. What's Curly up to?
Hey, Curly? Captain curly hey, what's going on there buddy? I don't know if he's been given his medicine yet fine on you Feel bad for curly, bro Just a handful left once these are out.
We'll have nothing to keep him quiet I'm not gonna give it to him yet. I'm gonna find on you. I do feel bad though Because he's kind of just crying all by himself.
I don't know if he's the one that crashed the ship. But I'm starting to believe that he's not the one. Anya?
Where are you? I guess we went through a bunch of mouthwash. So I know this game is called mouthwash obviously because they said that the only thing left to eat on the ship is mouthwash.
So are we eating it now? I think I'm about to throw my ass in a circle again. I think I'm leaded back to the place where I was.
Yep. Bro, Daisuke. He's still asleep.
With the old school Game Boy? Hey, turn me up, dude. Turn me up one time.
With those five pounds baby ass weights, though? Come on, Daisuke. You a young bull.
What you doing just carrying those around? Baby ass weenie hut junior weight. Where would Anya be? Swansea hasn't let anyone in Utility since the crash. Says it's filled with foam.
I don't think it's filled with foam. I think you're hiding something in there, Swansea. And I'm gonna figure it out. But the crazy thing is that I'm also suspicious of the guy that I'm playing as right now, Jimmy. No, I understand completely.
If that's how it has to be... Hmm? Oh, it's you.
Like he didn't already hear me come in! The doors aren't exactly the quietest things ever! You heard the door slide open!
Hmm, oh, it's you. Come on, Swansea. Jimmy, not able to sleep either?
It's nighttime. Why are you talking this late? Anya, are you crying? No, don't worry. I'm okay.
We all need to keep it together. Oh, I'm keeping it together. Don't you worry, Captain. He's making noises again.
Did you give him his meds before, Anya? Uh, no. Must have slipped my mind. I'm sorry, I'll...
I'll do it. No, really, I'm perfectly okay. I said I'll do it. Give Curly painkillers. Bro, he is holding that axe tight.
You might want to let go on that grip. Nobody's going to take that from you, big dog. You getting a lot of use out of that right now?
Force of habit. Don't overthink it. I mean, you grabbing that tight. Like, that shit looked like it got a death grip on it. Nobody's taking that from you, I promise.
But let's go give Curly his medicine. Because we don't want to hear Curly boohooing no more. I think there's going to be more to Curly than this game is letting on right now. I think that this was done to him on purpose. Just based on how Jimmy reacted when they found out that they got that letter from corporate.
So yeah, I just want to figure out what's going on there. I'm coming Curly. Don't worry, I got your medicine.
Open wide. Okay, sorry. Oh wait, no, open that thing.
There you go. Come on! Stop with the noise.
Dammit. I know what everyone is thinking. The way they look at me. What could I even say?
And then? What would she do? Dammit!
Here we are now. Me in the driver's seat. Thanks for that.
Open up. I hope these make you feel freakin' better. that pop sound i don't think pilsner is supposed to be making that noise i guess he doesn't want to take him no more obviously sounds like he's struggling right to take him he probably just wants to die curly Why is it so quiet? What?
It was a little too quiet. I thought I was gonna get jump scared. I am not even gonna lie to you.
Take responsibility. We should have some. Why?
It's mediocre at best, obviously. Sometimes you can only get the subpar stuff. That's what makes the really good stuff.
Well, good, right? Why bother? Hey, we all tried to escape.
Didn't work for any of us. I've thought many times. Is this what peace feels like?
And is it good enough? If I'm being real, it certainly isn't the best. So all I can do is...
do is to try to make my life one I'm not trying to run from all the time. Sometimes I'll be promoted, buy a house, fall in love, but other times I'll just have some awful freaking cake with my friend. Right now that sounds pretty brilliant, yeah? So if you'll do the honors.
Right, well let me go find a knife. Just stay there, all right? Don't go anywhere, Curly. And no, that's not a joke because you don't have any feet i'm actually really hoping you don't go anywhere because i'm freaking terrified of you and plus it's dark as curly looks scary like curly would be like the perfect video game antagonist right where is this knife at So I'm assuming everybody's dead but me and Curly Because god damn it seemed like the whole ship is just covered in stuff Who's looking at me like that don't look at me like that Dude this game The sounds in this game are incredible. I feel like I'm just like...
floating. You know that one meme where Spongebob has like the... headphones on? Wait.
Curly? No, Curly, I know what you want me to do. I didn't do that, everybody. I thought that's what the game wanted me to do.
Good thing it glitched out and stopped me. We don't tell anybody about this. Check on the crew.
Okay, we have to see about the state of everybody. Dice game, come on, man. Bro's getting white girl wasted on some mouthwash. How many have you had? Those will kill you before- Before anything else!
I know. My mom found this internship for me. Such a slacker, she said.
I don't know. I just never knew what I wanted to be. Never was good at anything.
Total screw up. We're not done yet, Daisuke. I just hope she doesn't blame herself. Please, just take it. No, there's like boxes and boxes of that over there.
I'm good, you keep that one. I don't want to look at this stuff anymore. Let me take it off your hands.
You just sit tight, okay? I'll get you a pillow and a blankie in a little bit. And yeah, I said blankie, everybody. What are you gonna do about it? Nothing!
Because I'm the captain now! Bro, Swansea doesn't let anybody in there. Are they still talking shit in the cockpit?
They better not. Because if they are, how come I'm not involved? I love some gossip.
Okay, nobody's in the cockpit. Probably all with Curly. And that's gonna suck if everybody here is gonna die.
And it's one of those endings where nobody lived and just like one of those things where they were never heard from again. But it was a perfect story and a tragic story of five crewmates that were also friends that found out that they had more in common than they thought. Let's talk to Anya though.
Anya. Oh. He startled me. Sorry. No worries.
You thinking about drinking that too? Honestly, yeah. It'd probably just make me feel sick. Wouldn't fix anything.
As much as I'd like it to. Right. Hey, I was thinking. Did you know that not all of the medicine aboard was in my office? We store some in a storage locker in the hallway.
Why haven't you brought this up earlier? It was foamed up, I didn't think it was possible to reach it. But I've been estimating the position of the foam.
I think the medicine depot locker isn't too far into the mass of it. So we could try to break it down. One strike too many on a weak spot. We'll all get sucked into space.
I think it's worth the risk. If nothing else, it's an excuse to get Swansea to hand over the axe. Break the foam.
Alright, Swansea. I need you to let that grip go. He's already breaking it down. Look at him.
He said fuck breaking the foam down Watch me break this down Jimbo El Capitano the man with the plan You done? I need that. This old thing?
Nah, this my dancing partner. This was entrusted to me by our previous tragically inclined leader big Responsibility, but you know all about that, huh? I'm gonna try to get some more painkillers. Do something useful, you know?
Oh-ho! I heard all about it. You're looking to pull the plug on this party early. I'm trying to save us.
Take matters into your own hands, eh? Be my guest. Now the TV breaks.
Swansea, we're all supposed to be teammates, you know that right? We were all watching sports on that big TV right there. Now when are we gonna watch football? But thank you. Can I talk to you now?
Think I already feel the ship rumba-tumbling through space again. Ha! Back to the future! Let me check on Curly before I break through any of the foam. Find Swansea's employee card.
When's his date of birth? Oh. Just punched out. So are we just kind of like floating through space or did we crash land on another planet? Curly?
Can I talk to you for one second? Nope. Okay, I can open that mouth and close that mouth. But we already know what it does, so we don't need to...
Okay. I'm gonna break through the foam in the hallway. I'm gonna get you more painkillers.
Everything's gonna be good Obviously, I know if we fast forward into the future things aren't gonna be good But Anya's not gonna tell me where it is, huh? Somewhere here in the hallway? I actually don't know where it would be.
Let me talk to her one more time. See the phone by the hallway to medical? You can kinda see the locker in there. By the hallway... Ah.
I need the axe to clear this. Ugh. Ugh. Ugh. Ugh.
Come on, foam. Die, foam. Take isopropyl alcohol. Sure.
Give me all that. What? Boom! Why? That's something that didn't need to happen.
Now she scared me. Oh, wow, Jim. You did it. Yeah, it actually wasn't that hard once I figured it out.
Amazing, really. Sure, we couldn't just punch the foam! Why do we need to be so dramatic and have an axe to the foam? I could just, you know, just two-piece that shit in old biscuit! Um, I hate to ask you again, but...
Could you give Curly his painkillers? It still just... just makes me so nauseous. You're not serious. Look, I've entertained your sentimentality up until now.
But I'm trying to actually fix things on ya. I'm getting us through this. Hi. It's find the code scanner.
Then figure out the door code. Get the axe. Chop up the bone, but not too much. And best of all, give Curly his fucking medicine! But I'm bearing it, I have to.
Because the captain has to take freaking responsibility on this goddamn ship. I'm sorry. I didn't mean to. Go make sure Daisuke doesn't choke on his own vomit.
No. No, I can't. I'll take care of it, Anya.
I always do. Why does she have to jump scare me, though? How about her mission is to not jump scare the captain because I can't handle it. Alright man, let's do this.
I don't think I understood the pressure you were under before. Damn, and you always tried to tell me. Our worst moments don't make us monsters, huh?
You were a good captain, Curly, and you'll be one again. I'll get us both through this. Hmm. Okay, so Jimmy has empathy for Curly, but then who crashed the ship if I'm thinking that it's Jimmy? I don't know everybody I'm gonna scratch my chin poops on this one cuz I'm trying to figure it out as we hear this dude take his pills can I talk to him I can't talk to him Wait, did it?
Oh, okay. That one made no noise at all, so I keep thinking my game is just completely fucking out on me. Jimmy! Get the hell out of there!
What's going on? Pony Express protection kit can only use in a case of emergency What is it again? 739 right?
It said my hands won't stop shaking Take rope. You can't hide! Like the rope nylon rope I could use this.
Can't use this here Maybe right here Now what? What are we getting into? Take metal pipe. I'm gonna chop you into 20 freaking pieces!
It's here. Whoa! I wanna know how we got in that situation! Two days before the crash.
You doing okay? Yeah. Can't sleep. I know how that is.
I just toss and turn. Or stare at the ceiling all night. I actually kinda like the nighttime window screen. If you can believe it.
So I just come look at it sometimes. If you look really, really close, you can see there's a dead pixel in the upper right corner. That so?
Hmm. Nope. Don't see it. In the back of my mind, it's always there.
Now I'll go bonkers looking for it. Cheers. I don't think it ruins the illusion, though. It's peaceful.
But maybe I'm just used to looking at the bigger picture. How many days of transport do we have left? Uh, let's see.
Off the top of my head, around 237 days. Just under eight months. Hey.
Why do you think Pony Express put a lock on the medical room door but not in the sleeping quarters? Hmm. I suppose for the same reason they put a lock on the cockpit. Safety. Yeah, but Jimmy did something that really pissed Swansea off.
Jimmy! Help! What's up, dude? Jimmy, it's a total emergency!
Calm down. What is it? Hanya is stuck in the medical.
The door won't open. What if she runs out of... something?
Right. Let's go have a look. How did she trap herself in medical? Anya! I brought Jimmy!
We're here to rescue you! Don't worry! Don't panic! Anya? Hey!
Heard the lock's broken. Hey, Anya? Can you hear me?
Yeah, I can hear you, Jimmy. The rest of our medicine stash is in there, too. Damn!
This could be bad. Did you try to really put your back into it? Any wrenches laying around? How heavy is the med kit?
Anya, is the door stuck? No. Huh? What do you mean? Look, we're all stressed.
But you can't go breaking down at every little hardship. Open the damn door. You were right. You were right all along.
I should have done this from the beginning. I always believed that our worst moments didn't define us, didn't make us beyond repair. You think I wanted this either? Make no mistake, this isn't my worst moment. Far from it.
It's the best decision I'll ever make. Don't do what I think you're gonna do, Anya. Do not do that.
Open the door. I'll take care of it. Anya? What does that mean?
Curly's still in there with her, right? Yeah, you don't think? Daisuke, you and Swansea know the internals of this shit better than anyone.
There's absolutely no other way into medical. What about that little floor thing that was behind Curly's bed? Uh, um, well, Swansea said it was strictly off-limits. Like super, mega, not allowed above all else. The utility room.
That busted vent in there loops into medical. But I mean, technically, a person could totally fit through it. If that's the only way we'll make it work. You listening, Anya? Fine.
Come on, Daisuke. Go to utility. The place that Swansea won't ever let us go, because for some reason it's super sloppy-toppy top-secret type shit. Come on, bruh!
Yo! Jimmy! I mean, Daisuke, my fault. I'm Jimmy. What am I doing?
How come he's, like, slowly teleporting towards me? It's kind of freaky. He's not actually moving.
Swansea, we need your help. I know you said utility was dangerous, but I... I'm good right here, fellas.
You know I'm not letting you in there. Off limits. Look, if there's any possibility...
Jimbo, letting you scratch out that foam wall would be useless. You'd only tear this goddamn ship anew, asshole. Nothing to be done about it. Bad luck. Tail missed the donkey.
But Swansea, this could be really bad. Just hear us out. We're God's hand-picked favorites on this here planet, I reckon.
Means we get to name it. So let's hear it for Wake Rock! Whatever's going on anywhere else ain't my problem.
Since I'm the happiest man Wake Rock has ever seen. Let's just go, Daisuke. There's no point with him. Wait, what about Anya?
No, do not switch it out. Do not go to a different moment in time. We need to figure out what happened to Anya.
Stop it. Eight hours until judgment? Wait, you just threw judgment in my face like I'm supposed to know what that means and we only have eight hours? Don't do anything. Stop, stop, stop!
I can fix this! Why do you keep freaking saying that? Are you hearing yourself? I'm sorry.
We still have disinfectant, right? The one from the extra medical stash? Get it, now!
The cocktail... We... You...
The cocktail?! What are you blabbering about?! That was your fault. You would never have...
I had no choice. You... Useless, you goddamn idiot!
There has to be something else. Fine disinfectant. Just calm down.
Just keep him alive, alright? Is medical still closed? Whoa!
What's going on here? At least he made it out to the other side. We can still help him. What does that mean?
I'm already looking in here. At least try to make yourself useful. God DAMN IT! What does that mean?
At least he made it out to the other side, we can still help him! Curly? Where's Anya? Where do I find the- Okay, I have to go get the stuff.
Grab it to the ship. Eight hours until judgment is insane, though. Who's judging us? No! What?
What does that say? Why is there a fa- Can't go there? Why is there a fat tombstone right there?
That better not be Anya's. I'm sorry. I know that was in cursive, and I could read cursive, but for some reason I couldn't read that. I just made a loop. Where am I supposed to find the stuff?
Hold on, everybody. Nah, man, come on. I can't go there.
Okay. I really can't go there. I can't just not go there.
I really can't go there Oh, here we go Oh shit, what is this? Bro, this is balls deep Like these are the stairs where we go to dap up satan and shit because this goes all the way downtown Oh I'm just here for disinfectant. Yeah, disinfectant.
That's what I said. Do y'all understand what that means? Like if things get infected, I just need to disinfect it.
Ooh, got quiet. Down here, a blind beast. Aimless and restless, you can't run from it. Yo, why does that sound like booty cheeks clapping?
Come on, bro. Sound like back shots, and the back shots sound like gunshots. God damn, I'm making so much freaking noise. I'm gonna be as silent as my last fart, everybody.
Don't you worry. Dude, this is nuts. This is big, sandy-cheeks-type nuts. This really does sound like Booty Cheese clapping at winter time, bro.
And why winter time? Because I said so. It could be summertime.
It could be summertime in Miami. Who gives a shit? You all get the story, you all get the picture.
Jesus. Ah, and it's crazy that we were shipping This much mouthwash, bro. Is everybody's breath that hot on a different planet?
Got it I'm sorry. I missed oh Don't try to talk This game is intense. This game is super intense. I'm loving this.
Five months after the crash. I think the vent in utility connects to medical. But you heard what he said, going in there now. It's too unstable, trying to break the foam could risk the air seal.
I just don't want to mess up again like I did before. You heard Anya. I wouldn't put it past her to do something extreme right now.
You and me Daisuke, we can save Curly, yeah? Swansea won't help, so we'll figure it out ourselves. Right, alright, yeah.
We got this! But even before the foam, how do we even get the door to utility open? Swansea's been practically camping in front of the door and he has the key.
I have an idea. You're gonna have to trust me. We'll need to knock him out. You're gonna fight him? No.
Even he has to have his limits when it comes to boosts. We make him pass out. Simple, safe.
He might not even realize we did anything after the fact. There's a recipe for a mocktail in the kitchen. We can follow the steps but use different ingredients to add kick to it.
Come on. Knock out Swansea. I thought he was gonna say, You hold him and I punch. Or I choke his ass out.
So let's see. Cocktail... What would it be?
Okay, tonic? Hold on. Let's see. This is...
Uh... I actually don't know. Okay, drink recipe.
Okay, so I need tonic. And then, what's the sweetener? Hold on, wait.
Nothing. 2, 3, 4, 1. Wait, how do I get the stuff? Oh, shoot.
Alright. Let's put that. And then that. And then, is that how we do it?
Please tell me that's how we do it. Ooh, plain cocktail. Alright, we got it. We're at a sweetener. Any ideas?
I, uh... I might have accidentally at some point mistakenly misplaced a few packets before. By accident.
Right. You could take a look around my stuff. Could be somewhere around there. But also totally somewhere else.
Who knows, anything's possible. The crash sure jumbled everything up. What does that even mean? Where's your stuff specifically? I think it's right here, right?
There you go. Okay, we need to shut that off. We need to turn that water off right there.
So here we go. Time to make a cocktail. I'm not a mixologist, but here goes nothing, everybody.
Boom! Hopefully this looks decent. Because why would Swansea just randomly- take this spiked cocktail?
I know he's not supposed to know it's spiked, but why would he randomly take that from us? That drink looks sick. I can totally picture myself on a beach with a hot babe and a few of those. Then I drink too many and throw them all up over myself and never be able to drink them again. end ah good times let's just get this to swansea daisuke has the right idea sometimes we have to go through those moments to realize we're not really about that drinking life like i don't drink anymore and that's because i had like an experience where i was drinking with my friends and i accidentally drank too much that i was thrown up the whole night and i was like i never want to feel that feeling again so i don't drink i haven't drank for years you taking to teaching my intern now I personally try to educate based off years of experience.
But that's just me, Captain. Oh, this is you too, Captain? The heck is that? Look, we need to keep working together.
If this is how I can get us through this without us being at each other's necks all the time, then... Yeah, yeah, give it here. Okay, I guess he took it easier than I thought he would. We kind of freestyled the recipe. Yeah, I could tell you had a hand in this monstrosity, kid.
You ain't no mixologist. Sure as hell ain't no mechanic either. You never should have came here.
Who the heck even decided to let you board, huh? Stick the idiot with a bunch of sad sack adults and see what he learns, eh? Bootstraps and all that? What a load of horse shit. You think it's all going somewhere, but every failure leaves you a little more mangled than before.
Odor. Uglier, meaner, smarter in a worse way. Wallowing doesn't suit you, Swansea.
I suppose you think we should all be acting like you. Our hard-working, esteemed captain. I say take a load off before the sun finally sets on this party.
Maybe we never go to hell, but always be on our way. That was quick. That's the fastest acting sleep thing I've ever seen.
I don't even know what to call it. But I'll take that. Bro, don't act so surprised. We knew what we were getting into.
Is he still breathing? He practically bounced off the ground. He'll be fine.
His tolerance has to be through the roof by now. Probably just wake up with a massive headache. Oh man, he's gonna be so, so mad.
I'll never get a good reference now. Oh! I think that's not what we should be worrying about. I think that's when he came to try to kill me in the cockpit. But we have to go save Anya.
If we can. Captain, um, you sure about this? Maybe we can talk with Swansea when he's cleared up a bit later. He's just like really into workplace safety and stuff sometimes, you know?
Which is like totally cool and stuff, I think. He taught me. It's time to be brave, Dice Gay.
Curly and Anya are counting on us. Let's do this. Wait.
Whoa. It's like barely foamed up at all. Hey, it's those things. I've never been inside one.
Are these like sleeping pods? What are they called again? Cryostasis pods.
Oh yeah, these things are far out. Totally sci-fi. Oh, it looks like this one still works.
How long can these things even keep you frozen? 20 years. I can't believe Swansea managed to clear all the foam from here.
He didn't. What? Think about it. Swansea never let you work with him or breaking the utility foam wall, right?
No. It needed to be handled delicately. He said I have way too much athletic strength in my arms.
I would have just turned right through the foam. I was like, damn, makes total sense. Bummer.
So I've been in charge of the kitchen instead. He said it's next level critical to keep stock and organize every day. Had me double, triple, four tuple, check everything like all the time.
Four tuple's insane. Right, of course. And he never told you he'd gotten in here? No, but look at how busy he must have been. There was never any foam here.
And Swansea has known the whole damn time. Just taking a load off before the sun finally sets on this party, huh? That boozed up bastard has been biding his time until he can save himself. Would getting in the pod really mean you'd get rescued? 20 years more of a chance to get found.
I'd take those odds over our current situation. Not like this though. Not by lying through my teeth while waiting for everyone else to die.
No man, that just can't be right. I'm sure there's a reason. We'll ask him about it when he wakes up. We'll deal with him after. Right now, we have a job to finish.
And the vent looks like it's still in one piece. Whoa, check out those sparks. I hate to imagine how gnarly it looks on the inside. It could be somewhat collapsed in places. You could make it through.
We need to try it. Um... Swansea said it's not safe.
Is this what happens when he's in pain on the bed and we need to get him the disinfectant? I know he forgot to tell us about the pod, but he knows like everything about this kind of stuff. Maybe we should just wait for him to wake back up?
You said you could handle it. Actually, no, that's not true. Because there was already a tombstone down there.
And I think that's Anya's tombstone. So there's no way that this could be happening and he gets hurt from that. And then Anya's already dead. Swansea taught you well, right? Time to prove it.
He'll be impressed when he wakes up. Proud. He'll understand why we had to do this.
Then he can explain himself. You think so? Daisuke, everyone's counting on you.
Captain's orders. Yeah, I got this. Okay, here we go. Don't get nutty puttied in there.
Can you at least give me like a, like a yeah? Anya? What did you do?
What did she do? What? One day before the crash. What did she do?
It's still broken. She couldn't have hid it in there. Find the gun.
Why do I have to find the gun? Shouldn't I know where it is? I'm curly now, right?
I should know where the gun is. The captain should always know. Where's everybody?
Nobody knows where the gun is. Maybe it's inside of my room? I already checked here.
No, you didn't, because I'm playing as you, and I didn't check there, so I know damn well you didn't check there either. Don't back-sass me. I'm the player, okay?
You can't play me like that. Where would a gun be? Maybe in here?
No, because Swansea always keeps that off-limits for some reason. Maybe it's in the cockpit? It's gotta be right? Cause I'm trying to think of places where a gun would be. Cockpit is one of the few places.
Anya? For fuck's sake! Where is it?
Us being let go isn't a reason to hurt yourself. Anya? As our nurse you never got psyche valves.
I should have thought of that. You could have come to me if you were feeling stressed. What would you have done? Anything.
Anything. You, the crew, are all my responsibility. I told you so over and over, yeah? I'm not gonna hurt myself.
You know the gun is in a safety case I can't open. But I hid the case itself. Tell me where it is.
None of this has to be on our performance log. We'll figure it out together. I'm pregnant.
Who? Who's the father? You what?
Who would you- Captain, I told you. Listen to me. We can fix this. I've known him for a long time. I'll talk to him.
I know you'd never give me the gun to protect myself. So the least I can do is make sure he never gets it either. A reading printed from the navigation computer.
Detected abnormal asteroid trajectories along the route. Course corrections might be required during transit. Hold on, Anya, talk to me real quick. She doesn't want to talk to me no more. Okay.
Dude. We keep getting bomb after bomb after bomb dropped on us. Six hours until judgment.
The bleeding won't stop. Just try to stay still, Daisuke. I need a second to think. We can fix this. Hey, kid.
You hear me? Daisuke? Shouldn't we turn him over?
So he doesn't choke on his own- HEY! Hey, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. Don't move.
It's all right, Daisuke. Calm down. This line of work.
You could never have become like miserable old Swansea. What a tragedy. Decades of hauling ass for Pony Express.
Big, mighty bruiser with all his shiny tools. This is where it got me. The good life, huh? I thought you were dumber than a can of paint. Always just chewing my ear off about nothing.
I'm sorry. Useless ray of goddamn sunshine. Not an A student, career, workhorse, or force of ambition.
Just a damn good kid trying his best. You could have taught an old fool like me a lot. Close your eyes, dice game.
No. Why are we doing this? No. Hey. Dude.
UGHHH Fuck I mean I know that he probably would have bled out God damn But Jimmy could have stopped him, he could have tackled him or something right? You know what I mean? Like You monster I could have fixed him Swansea I have to do everything myself. Why can't any of you just give me some time to fucking think? How do you still not understand?
It's over. End of the line. He won't suffer one more second because of your delusions.
Unbelievable. Stop pretending. I know all about your plan, Swansea. I went to utility. I saw what you've been hiding down there.
Sneaking around with that axe, telling Anya who knows what. Now this? You're making sure you're the one who gets inside of that cryopod!
Ha! I sure did talk to Anya. But it was her telling me all sorts of things instead, wasn't it?
Shouldn't a captain go down with his ship? Tch! Not that it matters anymore. I ain't got no place to be.
I got everything I could ever want right here on this ship. So go ahead and get in that pod. If you ever get found, you can tell them whatever fucking story you'd like.
Earned it. Get the gun. Where did Swansea go?
Dude, that is so sad. How would we have fixed him though? I mean, I know he was just thinking that he could have done anything, even though it was inevitable that he was probably going to bleed out, but...
You know? Sometimes you just want to have like that... Oh my goodness. No.
Oh, Curly's still alive. Isn't it 739? From earlier, right?
Cause I'm strapped? Dude, that's so sad Can't look at his blood anymore Can I talk to Curly? Jimmy!
What the heck? What the heck? Yo!
Zero days before the crash. So today's crash day? I told him.
Anya, you... You should have waited for me. What did he say? Nothing that makes any difference.
Did he seem angry? Where did he go? I totally forgot that she was pregnant and she just took all those pills, bro.
That is so fucking upsetting. Oh, my God. Oh, that is terrible.
Damn, I totally forgot about that for a split second. I guess it slipped my mind because Swansea was right there, and I think I have to pull out the gun and do what I got to do to him, but... That is so horrible.
Damn, he just walked away. Curly, I don't want him in here anymore. Hold on, just wait.
I need to find him. Everything's gonna be okay. I need to go to the cockpit, okay?
Do not glitch out and go to a different scene before I find out who's in that cockpit. Do not do that, game! You owe me that! What's this? That's not the cockpit.
I know where it is. I know this ship now. I know the Pony Express. I'm riding this pony! Jim?
I can fix this. What do you think will happen when we get back? Huh?
We can figure all this out. You and me. All I ever hear is how great of a leader you are.
God, it's so annoying. But now, what do you think will happen now when we get back? We'll fix this together.
Everything you and I work for in our lives, accomplishments, changes, none of it will matter. You've gone through difficult situations before. This time won't be any different.
Work through it, one day at a time. It's not just me, is it? You were supposed to be the one who had everything under control. You said so yourself. The ship, this crew, everything that happened here.
This was your responsibility, Captain. That is what you'll be hearing the rest of your life. For this can all be remembered as a tragedy, despite what must have been the best efforts of its acclaimed captain. The Tulper crew was never found. No one survived to tell the tale.
You're standing at the top, beat in cement. I get it now, right? Right.
I'll take care of it. So he's the one that deliberately crashed the ship. It made it seem like it was Curly's decision, right? So did the crash take out Curly's hands and feet? Or did Jimmy do that?
Hold on. Oh my goodness. I already know it's gonna be too late!
Jimmy? Jimmy! Jim! Tell me you didn't- I should've- I didn't- What the hell did you do?!
OHHHHH! OHHHHH! OHHHHH! One hour before judgment. This game is incredible.
Woohoo! Happy birthday, Captain! This rocks!
Hear, hear! There's a gunshot wound in his freaking forehead. To Captain Jimbo!
Come on! You have to give a speech! Go on!
Have at it! You better make it good! Hell yeah! Our captain... Captain Jimmy.
What do I say? Fuck? Why am I doing this? Oh! Oh god, I'm sorry, Curly.
A lot of people struggle to put food on their plates, but that wasn't enough. Right, Captain? The lowest rung of your ladder is our highest. Until it was all swept from under your feet. Life isn't even worth living at the same level as us.
But I forgive you. All of us do. I won't give up on you, even like this. I believe in you.
We're gonna make it through this. Sometimes we thrive, travel the endless reaches of space. But other times, we just have to accept days like these. You taught me that, Curly.
Let's eat. Let's survive. Yeah, bon appetit, everybody.
Nice cut of beef. Take responsibility. I mean everybody's dead, right?
Why do I feel... Nevermind. I was gonna say, why do I feel a little lower to the ground? Where are my keys? This ain't the same ship.
I don't know where we are. Do I have anything? Empty.
I don't do so well in the dark, everybody. I get really spooked when I can't see what I'm doing. Hey, dice!
Daisuke? Look man, I didn't mean to make you crawl through that vent. That's on me, okay?
I'll take the L for that one, I promise. No turning back now. I guess we have to walk backwards?
I'm confused. Okay, so every time we see a- Alright, alright, alright, alright, I won't. Responsibility.
Oh, I thought that was somebody. I thought that was somebody, like, past that little vent. Who's there?
Who's there? I think this is present. I think I'm the only one alive on the ship because it's too quiet. Dude.
Where are we going? I keep seeing that everywhere. What is that? I keep seeing- Oh my god. No, I mean I took the gun and I know what's gonna happen because I saw the bullet wound in your forehead Okay, but why though why do I have to do this?
Pony Express personal protection weapon issued to captains in case of unrest amongst the crew Okay, what if I just give you like a kneecap shot or something? Can I talk to him? I guess there's nothing left to say Damn.
Alright. Well. I'm sorry, Swansea.
Oh. Oh! Glad I heard somebody else's footsteps.
Beloved friend, I remember you so you are eternal Am I supposed to kill him? I don't get it I think I was supposed to shoot him. He's like creeping around with an axe.
Swansea? Why do I have to do this? I thought we already took care of business.
Come on, bro. Honestly, don't do this to me, man. I had to do what I had to do.
I didn't want to do it. It's almost like a final boss type thing. Alright, alright.
I'm coming. I'm telling you though, I don't miss. I'm not the one. Don't play with me. I'm not one of them ones, okay?
I get busy. So don't you try to creep up on me. Because I'm with the shits. Alright Swansea?
UGH I TOLD YOU I'M WITH THE SHITS! Come on Swansea! I got at least three more of those!
In ya ass! Don't! You don't want these problems!
I shoot 100% from the field. Do you understand? Unlocked and loaded. The craziest thing is that I don't feel good about that.
I have something to say. So shut the fuck up and listen. I spent 13 years half cut up to my eyeballs. Drunk, to put it mildly.
Then suddenly I saw it. A street light shining in my face. 500 gigawatts of the power of God. A vision of my bloated body found in some ditch. Scared me straight.
So I got a collar shirt, mortgage and a credit card. And all the things that make me a good man. I hoped I could raise my children and be better than their old man.
I wanted to believe I was never once set back away from my worst self. But the truth is... Discipline.
Drive. Routine. The endless fucking desperation to get shit done. A loving wife. Great kids.
Sobriety. I'm telling you. You.
Accomplishments I've been chasing all my life. Never felt as good as I expected when I crossed the finish line. So now that we're at the end, take an inventory. Those nights spinning out of my head, sinking into the sofa.
Broken glass in my palms, bleeding dry, the funniest thing ever. Old dogs laughing and snarling on a waterbed floor, mocking the moon for daring to show its face. All nausea and wreckage and vomit and ugly cruelty.
The only problem in the world, an empty bottle. Those were the best days of my life. Yeah. Those were the best days of my life. I got nothing to hide, ready to face the music.
I can see myself for what I am, but you? Cowardly, selfish, and you can't even see it. I should have been able to protect the kid.
If I could have done one thing right, I wish it had been to give him one small chance off this goddamn rock. Swansea, I'm gonna fix everything. We're gonna make it.
Fuck you. I'm gonna fix everything, but I'm gonna shoot you to make everything right. That'll fix everything everybody.
Come on dude. Jimmy. Jeez. In the dark too? This is crazy.
Curly's still alive right? Yeah he is. Damn. We're really alone now. And it's just depressing.
This game... Like, it just sucks what happened to every person of the crew. Wait.
Wait, I don't remember this. Uh-oh. Whoa.
Oh, dude. whoo yo what in the colonoscopy is this why am i here right now i feel like a camera in someone's asshole for real don't squeeze me out dude look that's insane we know where we are everybody we just don't speak on things some things are better left unsaid That was Curly's mouth. This game.
I was not expecting this game. I was not expecting this. This is really good.
The story is amazing. The jumping between the times. You know what?
They did it masterfully. Oh Am I supposed to make you connect Sorry It is old Mother Goose's birthday, we're giving her a party. A party, a party, a party for Mother Goose.
The baker man, he served the cake, it was a sight to see. Take Curly's leg? I have to take his leg.
Eww! What is- Okay, that's potato. What- No, what is that though? That ain't brisket!
Who is that? That's Paul from down the street! I made him eat his own leg.
Bro, I'm sick. Okay, I think I have to turn you all the right way. Right?
Okay, I see it. I get it, I get it, I get it. Okay, there we go.
I didn't know the path it was gonna take. I need to get closer. My bad, I need to get a little closer. Okay. That in there.
And then now we can see it traveling through. That doesn't make it right. This dude's eating himself. I'm so sorry, Curly.
Please forgive me, dude. I'm actually controlling this. I wanna go home. We are home. Why don't you finish what you started?
Don't worry, if anyone ever finds us, I'll still be playing the villain. You'll be the better man in the end, like you wanted. I could've stopped it.
I'm taking responsibility. No, we can both be heroes. We're a team, just you and me like we used to be.
What happened was an accident. We were trapped. I made a mistake, alright?
I'm sorry, I'm so sorry, Curly. What? I still have to take responsibility?
Ew, what the fuck is that? I know what that sound is. Oh my god.
Oh no. How do I... What?
What the... That's a... That's a pony?
Dude, what the heck? Whoa! All clean.
Really gets rid of that bad taste in your mouth, huh? Through wreckage. Through silence. Wash it away.
All day fire fresh. Dude, that last thing that we just saw was disturbing. Not that this isn't disturbing.
Pony Express, don't even start. Don't even start. Looking like the human centipede, but pony version. What?
Oh! Okay, I'm supposed to avoid that? I didn't even know.
I thought we were supposed to follow it. I thought we were supposed to follow you. My fault. Empty.
Got it. Do I do- Okay, I don't know what I'm supposed to do there. I don't know if you want me to hide or not, but this is the fastest I can run.
So let's let you go that way. You made that left, so why don't I make this right? Nope, I get it, I get it.
I just gotta make a different turn than what you want me to. This is insane bro. What?
Yeah so poor Anya man. She literally told Curly about Jimmy. That leads me to leave that whatever Jimmy did. Anya didn't consent to that.
Is that what happened? And got her pregnant? I'm just trying to piece the story together as it goes on.
Because this is extremely messed up. And I think Curly didn't want to say anything to Jimmy because Jimmy and Curly are friends. And they thought that they could fix this. But the only way to do it was to not ever make it back so she couldn't tell anybody, right?
Pony Express is dead, and so are you. Polly says, Shut up. Curly tried his best. I did too, but he's the better man. I see that now.
We can both still make it. I'll take care of him. I'm taking responsibility.
Curly. Captain. I'm so sorry. Yes.
Yes, yes, yes. I do. I messed up.
But I can still make this right. Our worst moments don't make us... Dude, so disturbing. Yeah, poor Anya. I mean, poor Swansea and Daisuke too.
But Jimmy is not a good person. And curly. I think they both tried to make it out of here alive and nobody could tell the story right?
Like nobody would be alive to tell what really happened? Are we gonna go to the cryopods and both be in it? Go home. What is home though? Home is where you feel most comfortable.
If that means go to Earth, wouldn't they have to face judgment, the real judgment, on Earth? So now I guess it kind of makes sense with the whole judgment thing. And why we keep saying we can make this right. But we're gonna go home, I guess, Curly. Hold on, what's this?
What is that? It's okay, Curly. You're gonna be okay. You always have my back. I ended up hurting you even though I was trying to save us.
But now you'll survive. It's like you said. Together we can fix anything. I'm just proud I got to be your friend and co-pilot, Captain.
No one can hurt you now. We fixed it. I fixed it.
Jimmy? Why did that send chills down my spine? Wow.
What an ending. That was insane. Okay. Obviously, you know, going through the whole game, I need to reflect on it for a second. I think that's one of the things that I learned about myself is that I need a lot more time to process things instead of just saying the first thing that comes to mind when I reflect on like a story or something that I just played or watched.
I need a moment. I need a moment. So yeah, I think that's what it was.
Just from thinking about how Anya was acting around Jimmy, she seemed like she was always scared and didn't want to talk to him. He definitely did something to her and that really pisses me off. That genuinely makes me feel so terrible for Anya.
I mean, when we found her and she overdosed on all those pills and then I remembered that she was pregnant. I don't know. It just took something out of me. It almost took my breath away because I just felt like I couldn't breathe.
It's just one of those things where you put yourself in that situation and you feel so terrible for Anya because she was reaching out for help. And Curly couldn't even do it. He was just kind of...
Kind of like trying to help Jimmy and trying to tell him everything was going to be okay. But he was the one who caused all this. And then I think Jimmy knew that he was going to face consequences. Because he did something to Anya.
This is one of those things where like once I'm editing the video and I rewatch it. And then I notice like some of the dialogue that the character is saying. And the interactions and just like little things that I didn't see as I was learning about.
story because that's like the funny thing about playing something or watching something for the first time is that people who have already seen it are gonna watch me play it and be like how did he not notice this or how did he not connect the two together but it's one of those things where like sometimes with things you need to experience it multiple times to truly understand it because then you see some things or you put uh like a part of something that you didn't know connected to another part of something like i'm just thinking right now and i can't remember like all the words at the top of my head but anya felt really uncomfortable with all the interactions that she had with jimmy and just knowing what happened now it actually makes complete sense and it gives me chills actually just thinking about it because She was scared of him. She was fearful of him because Jimmy is a fuck. That's all there is to it.
And I had a feeling that he wasn't going to be a good person. I think it was a combination of like he knew what he did to Anya. And he knew that he was going to face all the consequences when they got back to wherever they were. Earth or another planet. And also they also got laid off.
So he had nowhere else to go. I think he knew that Curly had something else going for him. life and he was just like fuck this so he crashed it because he didn't want to deal with it himself and that's why swansea called him a coward because he is one he's a coward he didn't want to make things right he just wanted to save himself and he didn't want to admit that what he did was wrong but i just feel so bad for anya dice case swansea and curly i think curly was the type of person that wanted to be on the the good side of everybody like you know when when you want everyone to like you and you try your best to just be like neutral on everything but also in turn he didn't stand up for anya because he was trying to also have jimmy's back and now he's in that cryostasis pod and i wonder what would happen if he got out i wonder if he would tell the truth or he would kind of just be like yeah i mean we crashed and everybody died and that's that But yeah, definitely when I edit this video, I'm gonna see some things that I didn't notice before and I'm gonna be like, oh wow But yeah, that was mouthwashing everybody incredible game Had a lot of fun just going through that whole experience And man, even this music is making me feel things. It's making me feel emotional or something But yeah, that was it. Let me know what you all thought about this game in the comment section down below Hopefully you all enjoyed me playing this game.
If you did make sure you give this video one big THANKS like I tell a friend today that Jay from the Cubs Scouts is that
