As a British person of a particular age, it’s also reminding me a lot of 90’s television. There’s a bit of Knightmare in there (as well as the board game Atmosfear). The sassiness of the Cryptmaster himself also keeps making me think of Richard O’Brien from The Crystal Maze

Silksong can afford to price itself lower because they know most players will buy it on release, as opposed to other indie game devs who have to price knowing most players will buy it on sale.

Transcript

Panel 1
Gustopher throws up his arms in frustration. He's sitting on the ground and playing an old video game. The game is proving to be difficult. He is wearing a shirt that depicts a face represented by a large G and two smaller Gs representing the eyes. Mewbert is watching from the couch. She is confident that she could beat it easily.

Gustopher: THIS IS IMPOSSIBLE! How did anyone beat this old game?

Panel 2
Gustopher's dad chimes in to note how the game is definitely beatable. Nougat is comfortably sitting on his lap and happy to be recieving pets.

August: It takes practice, memorization, and perseverance.
Gustopher: Is that how you beat it?

Panel 3
August looks suspiciously to the side. He is filled with sudden wave of shame. Nougat doesn't notice anything. She's just enjoying the pets.

August: Well...

Panel 4
August decides to come clean.

August: There's also a code for infinite life.
Gustopher: CHEATING!

Nougat is no longer pleased. Not because of August's use of cheat codes but because his pets have slowed down. Nougat will remember that. Mewbert isn't really paying attention to any of this anymore.

this is not necessarily ideal for everyone. it requires a lot of interpolation. but i think if you're really into The Dark Crystal the work print is very worth watching and considering.

anyway go support Henson Studios, it's a place which allows itself to be magical more than many in this world. Age of Resistance and the various releases of The Dark Crystal and The Labyrinth are amazing. the Dark Crystal documentary is one of the most inspirational things i've ever seen.
