Locust City STILL makes me want to cry.
Not because “it will never happen”, no no.
To me Locust City already exists. Maybe not as a game, maybe not right now (don’t break my illusion, im coping), but we have enough concepts and ideas to know more or less how it was going to play out, the possible endings, and the journey Cuno and Cunoesse embarked in.
No, what makes me cry is that FOUR OUT OF 5 ENDINGS END IN TRAGEDY FOR THESE TWO.
1) Cuno Dies
2) Cuno is brainwashed into thinking he’s the kid Cunoesse murdered.
3) Cunoesse Dies
4) THEY BOTH DIE???
LIKE, THEY ARE ALL (to me) BAD ENDINGS. THEY ONLY HAVE EACHOTHER AND NOWHERE ELSE TO GO, SO IF ONE OF THEM DIES THE OTHER IS LEFT STRANDED AND ALONE.
THEN THE ONE WHERE THEY BOTH DIE.
AND THEN THE ONE WHERE CUNO LOSES ALL SENSE OF WHO HE WAS????
The “good ending” is the one where they leave and make a “new tribe” together, and even THAT ONE was in the questioning stage according to the Miro board.
THESE TWO HAVE BEEN SO FUCKED OVER BY THE WORLD, THAT 4 TIMES OUT OF 5 THEIR END IS TRAGIC.
I love Locust City so much you have no idea.
