    Yea, I was wondering the same. And wasn't there some line from the pirate leaders about this after they pushed Guybrush off the cliff? I didn't quite understand that.

    Yes! After Guybrush says "Look behind you, a three-headed monkey!", Lila says: "You can't fool us. There aren't any monkeys here. This is Monkey Island!"

    What a strange line. But it sounds like the developers know that there is a lack of monkeys. It seems intentional.

    ”Next week.” Interesting. So, playtime happens on a regular schedule? Every weekend?

    -I'm not sure if people were referencing this earlier in the thread, but are the dead pirates on Terror Island supposed to be the "Men of Low Moral Fiber" of the 1st two games?  Who else would they be?

    It's not them. Take a look at the Monkey 1 box. :guybrush:

    Following on from that thing we were talking about how once you start you can't stop noticing ways how the game alludes to its larger themes.

    They hint at themes everywhere! Did you take a look at that locked cupboard in LeChucks galley? Guybrush gets more and more excited that there must be something horrible behind it, because it is locked so well. The chef then says that its locked because the door keeps opening on it’s own. And Guybrush is disappointed by that unexciting answer. It was better when he didn't know the reason.

    I'm a little confused by these early lines, when the "parents" look at the parrot.

    "It's so lifelike."

    "I wonder if it's real?'

     

     

    It is a perfect reflection of our own thoughts. But I keep thinking why are they surprised by this parrot? Are there no parrots in "real life"? Also, it's the same parrot the locksmith has in her store.

     

    Anyone else wondered about this? Am I overthinking? Whatever it is, I am excited to be majorly puzzled again. :guybrush:

    I wonder if that Chucky kid is ever weirded out that Mr. Threepwood has so many stories about fighting a pirate named LeChuck.

    Haha, that is awkward.

    Yes, and I lovelovelove that little touch. I suspect it's not complicated. I think it just hammers home that the kids are imagining an adventure, and as they come back to reality, the more fantastical elements quietly drop away.

    Right! I didn't notice that the first time I played. Jake showed me a screenshot afterwards, when it was still in Big Whoop mode, and I wrote back "Hold on! What is this! Your playthrough looks different!". What a great element.

    Hello! I finished the game last night, had the classic "Huh.", and then warmed up to it. Then I went to bed. And this morning, my partner asked me about the ending, so I told her what happened. And I talked and talked, tried to explain what was going on, which I couldn't, but I kept talking in excitement, and the longer I talked the more tears where flowing. Really!? Stupid game makes me cry and I don't no why? I wasn't able to explain really what was going on, but I felt this strong warmth from this game. The letter really hit my heart. Can't even make sense of all these feelings while writing you this. And I love it.

     

    I already miss the game, and I want to replay it immediately.
