The thing that annoyed me the most about the red herring joke is how painfully obvious it was. It's as if NLT chewed a well mashed legumes soup and regurgitated it back to their mouth to make sure even the most braindead person to ever grace the face of the earth gets the message, and yet... Not the brightest bunch playing this gorgeous game I can tell you that much.
Can't help but feel sorry for the poor bastards though, they all share the same puny braincell.

I'll take a break from lampooning brain capacity to note that part of what may have tripped up many is that, because they were too quick to click and stroke- stroke and click?- they may have clicked through the dialogue where Evie begins with
okay smartass... which, whatever one's understanding of red herrings, rainbows, cakes and whateverthefuck she said, is the clearest of indicators that you are about to be fucked with. Some might say that, upon being told that, if you go to the boards to ask, you risk being laughed at is an even clearer indicator that you just got fucked with, but to say that is to lack empathy
I would think that many often get caught flatfooted when Evie shows up- as she does to announce the end of an update- without clicking the Soul Crystal. As the dev has used this time to needle, they might want to be on their toes this time around.
In case that wasn't on topic enough, pls dev make get blowjab tomorrow Kayly or Jenat?
