How to use this page:

This is a listing of every "entry" in a given game conversation as scraped from the game files.

They also link to other entries, sometimes automatically and sometimes through player action. This page is best used to search for a specific word or phrase, as following the links in this format can be difficult. For an experience that better accommodates the branching structure of these conversations, see the corresponding interactive page.

Column definitions:
  • ID: a numerical index for the entry within this conversation.
  • Character: the character speaking or acting.
  • Dialogue: prose containing spoken dialogue and other description.
  • Conditions: logical checks governing this entry appearing or occurring.
  • Links: entries that might follow this one, depending on conditions and player choice. Most links are internal to this conversation, external links to other conversations are marked with the format (conversation ID, entry ID).

7 The Hanged Man The body is reluctant to let go of the boots -- as though they were its last bit of dignity.
  • 13
8 You Pull on the right boot.
  • 9
9 The Hanged Man It's not completely useless. You're able to reveal a little more of the putrid polymer sock beneath the boot.

10 You Pick up the body and try to shake the boots off. Variable["doomed.fridge_corpse_in_fridge"] == false

11 You Try to twist the boots off one by one.

12 You Step on the corpse as you pull on the boots. Variable["doomed.fridge_corpse_in_fridge"] == false
  • 16
13 Physical Instrument You're going to need to summon all your strength for this undertaking.
  • 27
14 The Hanged Man It's heavier than you'd think. You're forced to drop it back down immediately. The corpse lands on the ground with a nauseating thud, looking even sadder than before.
  • 61
15 The Hanged Man This is the right method. It takes some time, but eventually the boots come off -- with nasty slices of polymer sock stuck to even bigger pieces of skin and rotting flesh.
  • 33
16 The Hanged Man Something cracks in the left leg -- it really is about to come off. The leg, I mean. Not the boot.
  • 62
17 You Take stock of the damage.
  • 36
18 The Hanged Man The legs look like they've been clawed at by wild animals. As for the boots -- you can't possibly do anything with them until you have cleaned and *disinfected* them thoroughly.
  • 64
19 You Pull on the left boot.
  • 20
20 The Hanged Man It feels like the leg is going to come off along with the boot, but you are able to get the boot to move a centimetre or two.

39 The Hanged Man Not good. Let's pin this on the bear -- the ice bear tore up his legs with its claws. As for the boots -- you can't possibly do anything with them until you have cleaned and *disinfected* them thoroughly.

53 The Hanged Man Before you can grab hold of the boot, you hear a voice coming out of the dead man's mouth. It's the voice of Lieutenant Kim Kitsuragi, telling you to stop whatever you're doing.
  • 54
54 The Hanged Man You're sabotaging the crime scene, and yet you haven't even finished the field autopsy. Come back later when you're done with the investigation.

  • 67

67 Empathy See? The corpse doesn't care if you try to take his boots. He doesn't need them. He's probably *glad* to get rid of them.

69 The Hanged Man He's too heavy to move by yourself -- a great mass of dead muscles, with hoarfrost covering his milky eyes.
  • 70
70 Inland Empire Is that an accusatory glance he gave you? No... no, he's cool.
