tattletailheads
i get it now
I actually liked this,
see i only wound up even playin this because on a twitter thread a few weeks ago a post went around reminiscing on mascot horror icons
i recognized bendy, baldi, and so on and so forth
all that jazz
but i exclaimed "what the fuck is that" when i saw tattletail in the corner
followed by nearly everyone i know erupting in "what the hell do you mean you dont know tattletail?"

and ppl callin me a grandma....
and ppl thinkin im a zygote that was too young for the internet
...

so i figured yeah!!! sure! its a short game why not! lets cut out the middle man and dive at it

tattletail's presentation kicks ass its committed to that eerie unsettling feeling thats unique to furbys as a line of toys that plagued people in the late 90s and early 00s up until i wanna say the very tail end of the 00s
furbies were popular like that because having advanced cutting edge pet technology was ""cool""
i think living doll shit is somethin thatll always hit for me idk why but its always so fun even in the event of something like Chucky where I just think its more entertaining than it is scary seeing something of toy stature try to do and achieve shit otherwise incapable of doing

But tattletail is very different from that, hes a chill little dumbass with his little friends and they need your ass' help. each day there's more tasks you gotta do and tend to tattletail's needs with, while also needing to watch out for the big stupid mightybean bitch Mama thats always buzzkilling yall havin fun

it has some moments that kinda piss me off! like how Mama's AI is suppose to teleport her away here and there on basis of if she cant see you and youre out of frame ducking around and not making noise she'll try to teleport away in hopes of actually catching you elsewhere. I think the rhythm of tending to the little tugmunch's needs and also maintaining enough light to not have them tweakin is COOL! Mostly!

Im not rlly sayin its 5/5 cream of the crop, but its a pretty solid game all things considered and i definitely think its cooler than something like baldi's
I even think playing around with how Mama cant attack unless youre directly in the line of way or youre makin so much noise she'll lunge is cool
I even wound up playing that DLC and... it was fairly short just like each individual night LMAO but it was cool the kaleidoscope has some great visual effects and i guess no loose ends are left? but it wasnt exactly with it's balls dangling out the sack u feel me?
like
The story of tattletail is pretty simple to deduce, mama is a haunted furby and you gotta help the other furbies otherwise she kills you like other representatives of waygetter and putting the soul to rest via ritual and uprooting shit using tattletail's in an.. albeit subtle as all hell way.. is PRETTY! CHILL.. there's definitely more lore going on with the promotional videos that may give more direct recalls and answers on shit
butttttttttttttt
Im satisfied! Im content
Im not really obsessing over this but I think I mightve when it was brand new?

final thoughts: im glad i made that tweet because i like being well versed in things and it always feels exhilirating and makes my eyes get all wet and starry when someone brings something to my attention and im like "WOWWWWWWWW AN EXPERIENCE IVE NEVER HAD BEFORE!" its wonderful everyone :) !! I gotta go think on wht to do for valentines again byeeee
also FUCK u mama let him rock his shit and party !!
