Favorite Characters
Cheerful Man
I love his interactions with the homeowner/player where he talks about his life or everything in general. And I somewhat relate to what he's saying or that I'm just REALLY really invested in his words, man
He's literally my first ever favorite character in the game throughout the game and apart from liking his dialogue, I also caught his appearance/looks appealing when I first saw him, I gasped bro how can he look that good, damn
Overall, everything about him is great. I don't quite see many people talking about him yet on this day, but I think he really needs to be talked about more. He's such an inspiring and underrated character to me in a way, which I somehow started looking up to him and his words in my own life. He's such an amazing character in depth
Anyway, here's my favorite lines from his interactions:
(You can tell it's pretty much a lot of them)
"Don't bury yourself in your grief. If you focus on it too much, it'll start eating you alive. And from there... Well, things can get real dark, real fast."
"You know... no. Not always. I used to be pretty angry. At people, at the world, at myself. I'd snap over nothing, slam door so hard I'd crack the frame. But at some point, I realized all anger does is destroy. First on the inside. Then everything around you. One time... I lashed out at someone who only wanted to help me. Now he... she's gone. That moment broke something in me. I knew I had to change, or I'd destroy everything I touched. So I learned to let go. To breathe. To make peace. That's how I got here."
"It took me a long time to accept it. Kept asking myself: why did I leave at that moment? Why couldn't I save them? But maybe that's not the point. Maybe it's not about saving the past, but about carrying it with you. They're still with me, in a way. Their memory gives me strength. That's why I try to help people. I know what it's like to lose... everything. And what it means to find purpose after your whole world's fallen apart."
"I believe people can be better. Even in the mess we're in, there's always a chance to rise out of it. I don't believe in miracles or divine providence. I believe in people. In how we lift each other up. Someone picks up the fallen. Smiles on a bad day. Shares their last piece of bread. That's life right there. It's the small things. And every time someone makes the world a little better, I know none of this was for nothing."
"But grief feeds on guilt. And life... Life needs forgiveness. I realized I'd lose myself if I didn't let go. That's what saved me. I forgave myself for not changing the past. Even forgave fate, cruel as it was, because anger was dragging me down."
"You know, I used to hate myself for a lot of things before I realized that life's not about fixing every flaw."
"Our hands carry it all. Our losses, our joys... Without reaching out to one another, we wouldn't survive."
"Photographs aren't just pictures. They're moments we want to hold on to."
Prophetic Man
I think he's much more talked about in the fandom to this day than Cheerful Man, but all things aside, he's such an interesting character throughout the game and is underrated too
As a character, I think he's so appealing in the game, especially when he first made an appearance at the door. His character grows so much, positively on me that I started to like him. One thing for sure, is that I like the characters' interactions, personalities, and stories more than they look in general. I just came off a realization on that, lol
I really love his dialogue and the lore behind his identity, but I think his interactions pique my interest and curiosity the most from him. I suppose I like how he talks and his... 'prophecies', I think?
In my opinion, he's somewhat a fitting character for the game whether it is about the game's lore, atmosphere, etc.
PS Aside from his character, the soundtrack for him in the game is so fitting for his character and the game's atmosphere. When I first encountered him in the gameplay, he immediately gave me goosebumps already and with his soundtrack playing in the background too, I love him
