... How the fuck did we go from talking about Superhuman, this thread's game, to talking about Control/Alan Wake/SCP lore like it's not off-topic...

Speaking of video games it's not AAA but Deadly Premonition 1 is great too if you can get a hold of an Xbox copy.

Conversations evolve.

Like the MC in Superhuman, a game that this thread is about.
Yeaaaah but at that point it's not even remotely related to the game anymore, and the mods are going to get angry. They've removed messages for less than that, believe me.

Anyway, am I the only one who was thinking that the MC's dad and the mother seen in the flashbacks aren't his real parents? I dunno what started it, but I was getting the vibe that the MC used to be one of Ella's siblings, but something happened that put him into other hands, after which point his memories got manipulated. Ella seems to remember the MC from somewhere, and I can't really think of a better explanation.

MC said when he ran away he joined some sort of runaway camp. Maybe he met Ella there when she was orphaned? Dont know if the time matches tho.

There is something really weird about his mom and dad for sure. His pops has always been a mysterious weirdo, popping in and out of MC's life repeatedly. and his mom is very "interesting" far from normal... maybe it is all that hair covering her eyes, gives her that protagonist aura. It is an interesting idea indeed.

But wouldn't Ella have recognized him then when she met the MC the night before the beginning of the game ? Back then MC almost looked like a damn kid himself. he could not have changed too much from when she was supposed to know him from before.
Unless Ella herself has issues with her own memories aswell. I guess It is possible they both knew each other and then kind of just lost their memories. For Ella it could be related to all those evolutions.

Maybe the younger Ella was much more prone to losing herself to her powers, maybe there were multiple incidents where she went from human sentient-hybrid to monster ... possibly Xanthe Jr. or someone else perhaps one of her monster friends helped her return to being self-aware and not just a growling biting beast with super-powers. Or she flipped back from monster to human purely out of will and circumstance... She was the first Superhuman to be out and about in the world mingling with the muggles without the sterile and meticulous supervision of Xanthe and the team leaders of H.e.r.o. or well... the only one I can think of atleast.

I mean the inspiration from Prtotype and Venom (the over all character not th movies) is undeniable. And I don't see anything wrong with it if smt is good why change it specially the fact that , That game had a lot more potential for what it was.

I think everybody agree with me on how good the power fantasy of this game feels. The evolustion are just about the best mechanic and so goddamn satisfying.
And I say VenoM because honestly I think SO MANY anti villains and even games take inspiration from it. an unknown source of power that slowly corrupts and takes over if you are not carful and brings the worst in you; You can see that theme in so many places and here i on of them.
Isn't there already a guy in the game named Mercer?

She did recognize him. That's why everyone thought it was weird that she was talking to him as if they're familiar at the start. There's also her memories after she got killed. When you're at her apartment with Christie and Emily. It's revealed that she was planning to meet him using Dave and that she was pretty much stalking him the whole time.

There was that one picture of Ella and... I think it was Xanthe Jr.? Maybe MC and Ella were both there at some point in their lives, and MC just doesn't remember it.

Well, now that WW reduced Ella's age by a year or a few months, their meeting lines up, timeline wise. MC got into his accident at 12 to 13. Ella got turned at 14. So she was 15 to 16 when that happened to MC, which was slightly inconsistent with the events. Originally, she was 3 years older than him, which means she was turned a year before his accident. Now, she's only 2 years older than him and was turned around the same time since she's now 20, instead of 21.

So basically, these events happened in the same year now, roughly.

- MC (12-13) got his scars and ran away.
- Ella (14) got turned into a Superhuman.

MC said that he had run away for a month or so, right?
