![]() He then gets up to leave for his stop- only to discover that was actually a dream. One moment that was really enjoyed was when Neil sat down in a subway car early in the morning, dead tired after having chased a suspect all night, when he noted that he wouldn’t fall asleep due to how uncomfortable he was. The presentation of the story rapidly improves as you play, with great notes played for characterization and humor throughout. I’m not going to spend a lot of time going over the story, as it quickly ramps up and has eight different endings for you to chase, but Lacuna is a tale of assassinations, terrorism, and interstellar politics in a sci-fi noir world dominated by inequality.Īt first glance, the writing in Lacuna is very cliché, as Neil grumbles to himself about things that occur in basically every detective drama of all time- at least in the beginning. Lacuna takes place in a time far, far in the future- where humanity has spread all across the stars… but unfortunately also takes place in a time where humanity still squabbles with itself over differences in religion and race. Neil has to juggle his responsibilities as an agent with trying to maintain contact with his ex-wife and daughter, and things quickly begin to spiral out of control with the murder of an important diplomat who was sent to their space colony in order to further relations between two opposing interstellar factions. Much of the game is spent performing what boil down to detective duties- as Neil, you’ll question suspects, gather evidence, accuse suspects, and try to fix your failed marriage (not necessarily in that order). Lacuna is a 2D point and click adventure game where you play as a special agent named Neil Conrad. ![]() They can’t all be bangers, let’s just jump into this. If I didn’t, that’d be too much of a bird-en. What do you mean that’s almost the same as a visual novel? I don’t have a problem you have a problem! In the last couple of weeks, a little birdie came to me and said, “Do you want to play Lacuna?” To which I said, “Isn’t that a metal band?” Then the bird squawked and I found a copy of Lacuna in my library, so I figured why not play it, I always do what birds tell me to do. ![]() Such a theory would certainly fit in with the eventual concluding battle of the series, as shown in Metroid Prime 3.Welcome to Save State, where we’re coming off a visual novel kick and are now playing point and click adventure games that are heavy on storytelling. Mother Brain’s massive size, absolutely dwarfing Samus, could suggest that the Phazon induced growth and mutation, expanding her well-beyond her confines of her glass life support system. The rocky spikes could even represent the phazon morphing around her, accommodating her anatomy into its twisted, living environment. The hovering eyes were perhaps representing her ability to see across the planet, and the plume of blue energy could be the constant stream of Phazon pumping into her flesh. The influx of power and energy from the alien Phazon could have elevated her powers into a transcendent, near-magical state. Metroid Prime’s story may have originally involved the Space Pirates mounting Mother Brain (or a copy/clone) into the Talon IV Impact Crater itself. If I were to try and interpret Andrew Jones’ madness, I’d suggest the following theory:
