[10:29:50 PM] Ross Payton: Take a look at some of your old photos. Do you have one that's a street scene, maybe from a vacation? Look at it closely. See that guy in the background, in the dark suit? You have to look carefully the first time.

Now look at some other photos. See that figure in the background? Yup, same guy.

He's in the background of a lot of your pictures. Anything where there's a crowd. Always a crowd. He doesn't want to stand out. It's not just you. He's in everyone's pictures. He's stuck there, has been for a hundred and fifty years. Back in 1839 he stopped for a shoeshine, and Daguerre trapped him. He's been trying to find a way out ever since.

Try looking at the pictures again in a few years. He'll be a little closer to the camera.

Every game should end with cookies, whether relevant or not.

I wanted something pastoral and I was actually thinking of the character from Sandman. I had forgotten about its use in Land of the Dead

With the scenario of a creepy long limbed child snatcher running around and the inhabitants of the community all a little crazy, the image of an older portly gentleman with glasses and a cane did not occur to me at all.  Even so, I think it's awesome you referenced Neil Gaiman in the game. :D

YEEEEEEEAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!

Ahem, the Corinthian turned out to be quite the helpful little sidekick after he was destroyed and put back together again.  I would've been good having him on our side after he was fixed.

yes because I totally would have used the helpful version of the Corinthian for a horror game.
