No spoilers...unless these speculative twists actually happen! [Eyebrow wiggle]
Butch:
I didn't play. This trial will happen at some point! I promise!
Feminina:
I played some, and since it's the 4th time through I was not as thorough about taking every single conversation option. It was kind of funny visiting the Reliquary with Freddie, where instead of asking her what she knew about Hecate and Asterion I just said "I'll make it up as I go!"
Then when Asterion showed up Grace said "I didn't realize you were..." and Freddie said "a minotaur? I could have told you that!"
Nicely done, game. She could have told me, and she did tell me once, but it's nice that they built in a line of dialogue for if I didn't ask.
Butch:
HA! "I could've told you that! There was a dialog option, you know."
Oh, I forgot to mention:
Now that I'm pretty certain I'm wrong, the theory I had for who the killer(s) were was the two other guys from the band we haven't seen in ages. That would've been an awesome twist. Here's two guys, we mentioned them, and, even after all this god stuff, turns out they killed Calliope because they were jealous that she was going to get to be in the band and upstage them. No god stuff, the muse stuff was irrelevant, just a couple of jealous band dudes.
That would've been awesome.
Feminina:
Ha! That would have been something, all right. I think it would also have felt kind of cheap, but it would definitely have been a twist.
And it really is a bit odd that they are just never seen again after the first scene, so that would at least bring them back to relevance.
Oops...I guess I should have been more coy, as I pretty much just confirmed that it wasn't them.
I meant to say, oh yeah, haha, what a clever twist that WOULD HAVE BEEN, right [eyebrow wiggle]!
Butch:
Told you you guys weren't coy.
Would've been awesome. Whole number of gods all "Wait, it was you dweebs?"
"Wait, it was you dweebs?" sounds like a great name of a song.
Feminina:
It would have been really out of nowhere, though.
Like, OK, these seemingly laid-back dweebs we saw for two minutes, who had three lines between them, must have lurked outside the hall to eavesdrop on Calliope's unplanned audition for some reason, heard Grace's "you're in if you want" and her noncommittal "I hope to see you again," and based solely on this were driven to such jealous rage that they brutally murdered a total stranger despite the fact that, as far as we know, her addition to the band (even if she joined) wouldn't actually have displaced either of them.
I have to say, it feels weak.
Butch:
You're right. Sigh.
Must say, if it really is the ending, bravo on the coy.
Though, what's weaker? This, or "It was a god controlling furies she can't control?"
I still want a song called "Wait, it was you dweebs?" If "Evil Dead: The Musical" (real, I swear) can have a song called "What the fuck was that?" then "Wait, it was you dweebs?" has a chance.
Loothound:
Then the REAL twist…those two guys were Zeus and Poseidon all along. Some real M. Night Shyamalan double head fake shit.
Feminina:
Whoaaaaaaaaaa...duuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuude....
Butch:
Dude...that would've been awesome.
And it would've worked! We're all "Who knows where Kaz is?" and they're all "Who knows where Zeus is?" and BOOM!
I'm right! You're so coy.
The reprise of "Wait, it was you dweebs?" is Zeus and Poseidon singing "Who are you calling a dweeb?"
Writes itself.
