Welcome to Sweet Home. Who is stupid enough to want to preserve those shitty frescos?


Oh... it's me and the Four S-es. Yay! How delightfully alliterative.













WITH THE EXIT BLOCKED OFF, THE ONLY WAY OUT IS THROUGH. HOW TOUGH COULD A HAUNTED HOUSE BE?

[bleak]

And so we have: bleak, whose tool is... a lighter. I'm the designated burning man, I guess, and good at fighting.

Spinach, the expert medic of the team. She has already lifted a curse that was laid on me! Carries the First Aid kit which is by far the most frequently used tool in the game.

Starblood is the camera guy. He is the one responsible for preserving the frescos and finding the clues hidden throughout Sweet Home. Also pretty good at fighting. Starblood can die, the hints aren't necessary to win the game as far as I can tell.

Shurg is the vacuum bitch. If there is a dust on the fresco, then Starblood will command Shurg to get it off. If there is broken glass that our team doesn't want to walk over, then Shurg will suck it up so our dainty little feet won't get damaged.

Sollah is the keymaster. She is the master of unlocking. If she dies, we're all fucked. I hope that she doesn't become a jihill sandwich during the course of the adventure! Possibly the most vital tool in order to progress.

Shurg displays remarkable insight and intuition two rooms deep into the Sweet Home.







Th- the fresco! A clue! What the hell kind of whack job puts a bunch of clues in his frescos anyway?



I am easily scared.



Spinach, being both the only black person and our female medic, must take up the mantle of providing Heart power.



A helpful half-zombie gives us some cryptic clues to help us on our way! Hm, our tools are weapons? Burn bugs and blind bats with light? I think I can handle that.









Finally, I get to burn this rope! You have to burn the rope, you know. A lost soul looks on as it whispers past our oblivious party.



Yessssssss



That was awesome.



oh god what have I done



nooooooo

Oh, it's one of those friendly guys. Killed by a light fixture, it would seem. Poor guy.



Oh look, a fresco! But it's covered in dirt. SHRUUUUUUUUUUUUG

shurgg: yes, my liege

this FRESCO has DUST on it!

shurgg: at once, my liege



ah, now we can photograph it for the VITAL CLUE



*takes a long drink and looks at Sweet Home*



Our party bravely presses onward thr--



HOLY SHIT OH MY GOD AAAAAAA





ACTION PACKED



EWW GROSS THE ACTION DOES NOT STOP



ah, finally, a break in the action. why, I wonder what this doll figurine is doing here? I--



AAAAH FUCK IT KILL IT EAT IT DO SOMETHING



phew, let's get out of here OH GOD WHERE AM I IT'S SCARY AND THERE ARE DEAD BODIES AND GHOSTS EVERYWHERE FUCK AAAAA



I'M SORRY please go away



A MEAN HALF-ZOMBIE THIS TIME



he was guarding a stupid clue. FEBRUARY 3RD NEVER FORGET

...

who the fuck waits NINE YEARS to have a child? my god



ah, a REAL CLUE!



AND ANOTHER ONE! Gentlemen, our heroes found a series of empty suits of armor after getting caught in several flame traps, one holding a spear, and one not holding a spear. A simple puzzle, handily trounced by the massive intellects of our party. Having done this, we trundle leisurely into the east garden, where we TURN ON THE GENERATOR! But first, we have to fight through clouds of...



EGAD! HIT THEM WITH YOUR THINGIES



AAA,... a grave? THAT'S NOT A GRAVE IT'S AN OMINOUS BLOODVOMIT ZOMBIE HEAD AND HANDS

And we continue on our harrowing journey. Our heroes bravely press onwards, slowly realizing the great dread that presses down upon them. They are tired, and they are scared. But they have a vacuum. And the will to go on.



A friendly face provides some much needed solace, but our respite is brief as we quickly stumble into our next obstacle.



Sticky floors. One false move and you're stuck in the thick of it until someone else can pull you out. On the table is a locked diary. We must find out what is inside, it could be a vital clue to escaping this fucking hell!



OH GOD A MAN HE IS NOT FRIENDLY, HE IS NOT LIVING



We're being attacked by the very walls themselves now. Nothing can be assumed safe in this cursed place. But, nearby, a fresco paints a picture of a grisly accident.





...



We find ourselves on the verandah. There is a note...



Fresh ink! There's someone else in the house... trying to help us!



!!



And we press on. Sollah is dragging us down! >:(



We've found the rope ladder leading down into the basement of the Mamiya mansion. Perhaps the diary key is down here? Along with yet more untold horrors of the beyond.



An extremely cryptic clue...



Another natural hazard, or is it?



More and more parts of the house are attempting to kill us. We must arm ourselves and steel our minds!



AAHHH BUMPY MANIACS! These guys hit like a ton of bricks and poison you by shooting pus out of their open sores. Fuckin' gross man.



Another cryptic clue! It also doesn't make any sense!



Navigating the basement waterways...





HEY WAIT A MINUTE SPINACH WHAT ARE YOU DOING but oh wait, that clue before!

Good job shurgg. Keep up the fantastic work.



Another clue! Perhaps we'll find a place with four stones soon.

spinach seemed none the worse for wear after drinking that blood, maybe being a medic has its advantages after all. We decide to press on past the blood flow and into the LAKE:



Well, at least we're outside the house now, so nothing will try to kill u-



AAAAHHH!! RUN AWAY!



AAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!! KILL IT KILL IT



The game sometimes tells you to be brave!! right before it attempts to scare you. What a kindly convention.

We found some boats on the lake, and a shovel, and gloves for getting through the thick brambles! Now we point our bow towards:



What's this...?



!!



We'd better check to make sure.



Perhaps this is evidence that the grave was robbed recently!



Sollah is a cold hearted keymaster with no scruples. Gang way, baby corpses! Slimegirl comin' at ya!



In addition to her amazing key wielding abilities, she is also quite an accomplished grave robber. Who knew?



Ooo. Something.



IT'S A BABY SKELE- Oh wait it's just a key. Well, we probably need that!



This motherfucker right here! He was the one what wrote that unbelievably portentous note. Cool hat, mura-san ^_^



Yeah! Basement! Wait, fuck. That sounds scary. B- but we need to get out of here, right?

































Mura-san!!



Onward. And downward.

We continue the desperate struggle to escape the mansion alive... after the fresco, we find another room full of skeletons.



What could have happened down here?



Could this be the work of Lady Mamiya?



Poor starblood-chan~ I never meant to make you cry.







Oh fuck christ she's killed not only her own kid but several others, WHAT IS THIS NINTENDO GAME



OH GOD NOW WE'RE IN IT TOO



spinach, woman of steel that she is, bravely braves the flames to grab the fire extinguisher and save us all. Now... that fresco



But as soon as I read this, the statue had mysteriously vanished.



Press forth into... whatever this place is. I've never seen a structure like this in my life. Precarious wooden pathways over pitch blackness. This is where they keep all their light knives and crystal balls. Regardless, now we've got the crystal ball, so now we can get past that blue flame that I forgot to take a screenshot of! And behind that door, we find...



oh god, hold me starblood



it's me you're hearing ;_;



;_;



jesus christ this game, can it be any more fucked up? (i hope so)



SOLLAH NO DON'T OPEN THOSE BABY COFFINS



AAAAA



AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA



SWEET HOME IS THE WORST DEAD BABY JOKE



AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
