6 days a sacrifice - story talk

[digitalray]

hi there, i just finished playing this game after the 5 days a stranger game.

and i don't quite get the point of this game, who can help me with it ?


i really enjoyed the first game of trilby, but the second was a total mess for me..

i didn't really enjoy the game very much, because i can't really get into all this "god" and "bible" thing. i am atheist in real life and don't believe in one "god", i believe in a scientific and spiritual way that many of those phenomens between people and earth and universe DO exist, but i don't believe in a word like "god" that explains all (it doesn't, it's just believing in something you don't understand). i believe only in what i can explain. as i really expanded my conscience some years ago, i know there are brainwaves and magnetic fields around us, that can correlate with each others to make some kind of unconscious "telepathy" working, that is a main factor in life for man and animal, and maybe even plants.

so that may be the reason, i don't quite get this game. maybe this game is just about "god", and so i can't cope with that.


it's nonetheless somehow interesting and the characters were done quite promising.. but i still don't get the whole picture of it, if there really is one (can anyone explain to me pls?)


or is this all just fantasy, there to show you the meaning of the words pain, fear, soul, mind, spirit and how they are related ?


if the guy in red is the prisoner johnson, did he have the same fate as the mischild of the defoe family and therefore became a mind & soul ghost (because he killed himself) who is there as a slave of the last god on earth who lives in a magick world that is timeless ?

did i get this right ?

if so, ok.. but i don't quite get all the story with the defoe kid. and how the burned house can be in the cellar of the optimology building.
in another scene there was talk, that this whole defoe house was just in the mind of the prisoner.


if this was all just fantasy and the main story was the story of the "prisoner" seen as a metaphor to a person living in fear of pain from others and therfore killing them in his mind and lastly himself, so he gets his freedom, and therefore living as a spirit person with mind and soul to help others, there is no real sense in all this, there is no explanation of what to make out of this all. so it's still a sad game and just shows some kind of "bible truth" to me, but no real truth that is adorable in real life.


do you have other ways of seeing this game ?


edit: what also troubles me: if the prisoner is the only real characters, and the trilby is some kind of protecting instance in his mind from the horrors that will kill his soul, and the monk is himself after he killed his body, how can the monk (aka the prisoner) appear in his dreams before he kills himself ?
is this related to the timecontinuum magick world, that is timeless ?

I suggest that you play the special editions with Yahtzees commentary. He pretty much lays the whole game out for you and how it is supposed to be interpreted.

k, thanks for the advice calin

i didn't know about such versions, the one i d/l on ags was one without the commentaries.


but nonetheless, i'd like to talk on in this thread about my interpretation i laid out so far and the interpretation and thougts of others who played it (not caring about yahtzees interpretation).

i just realized, that 6 days was the LAST of the three games, NOT the second..

oh man.... why that ? why name a game series 5,7,6 instead of 5,6,7 ?

gotta play the 7 days game now.. maybe 6days it will make more sense after having played 7 days..

Actually, it's 5, 7, then Trilby's Notes, and then 6.

[Calin Leafshade]

6 days will make no sense without the previous games.. especially Trilby's Notes

damn..
