Yep! Thought you might get it Mandle, it's been one of your guesses for a previous round!

🙄 Outdated reactions aside, the person on the left is a male actor playing a non-binary character, and the person in the mirror is a male actor playing a male character.

Hoorah! I went back and looked closer at the pics (use the zoomable images function and people might guess stuff quicker!), and it came to mind from 'weird-faced thing + scientist in sewer', and then the director hints supported it.

Here's my next one. Link to the previous:

Okay:

-simpler, larger font
-thinner or no text outline
-more contrast between font and bg colour

Is this good?

Those listed changes sound good, yeah. But you haven't posted any new images, so it's hard to say...

just realized that the previous image I posted can be found through google image search, so I uploaded a new one.

I hope no one here is using image search!

I don't think the screenshot size was the issue for most people:

Maybe because the background color of the speech bubble is the same color as the font color...
It was just my first impression. If I saw those screenshots in full screen, maybe I could read the font better.
In general, I prefer "cleaner" fonts rather than "comic" fonts. But that could just be me.

Also I agree with The Last to Know. You're going to have to make the speech font more readable. Try spacing the letters more and making the black outlines thinner (and/or just increase the font size a touch).

To me, that font is still really hard to read. As mentioned in those quotes, the issues include:
similar colour background
not enough spacing
too thick a black outline
small font size

You may want to consider a different font altogether. It's currently an accessibility nightmare - I'm having trouble with it and I have good eyesight and reading ability. I'd imagine it would make the game unplayable for some people with, say, colour blindness or dyslexia.

Dammit, I did a search in this topic for "clockwork" and that didn't come up! Oh well, I thought it would be super-easy anyway. Yes, it's Lair Of The Clockwork God. Your go, Lorenzo!

That guy with the camera looks a little like Bill Pullman, so I'll just guess a film of his from the 1990-1994 period... The Last Seduction?

I think one would need to be pretty thick to not be capable of guessing why Lovecraft fans will find this insulting and/or a gimmick.

Probably best not to say stuff like this if you're not trying to get into fights...

That Guardian article is debunking claims from a Deadspin article about a quota. There is no such quota.

So have you got a source for this 'one ethnic minority performer' quota, apart from a misunderstanding about one bit of casting?

You got it! That is indeed Billy Zane and Jada Pinkett, and in the second pic she's with legendary character actor Dick Miller.
