4/30/2023 0 Comments Sluggish morss ad infinitum![]() ![]() ![]() Nightmare Face: Gnik, the first Superbaby from A Delicate Time in History, qualifies with its cyborg collage of a countenance.The protagonist is seen smoking some sort of cigarette-like thing throughout the game, the visuals in general are trippy, many of the NPCs (and even the player character) are seen lying around doing nothing (perhaps as if stoned), and the beginning and end of the game have pot leaves blatantly represented on flags. Mushroom Samba: The entire first game might be one.The aliens from the first game sound like Microsoft Sam was used to voice them. Machine Monotone: Comes with the territory of the Synthetic Voice Actors used.They seem to have no other purpose than to speed the plot along (and in the third game, aren't so much as paid lip service!). Lampshade Hanging: The trailer for the fourth game has a few seconds dedicated to a comment section, particularly comments that mention how "WTF" the Sluggish Morss games are.In the end credits, when Jack King-Spooner's name comes up, the credits degenerate into "bla bla bla".Gnik's opening speech is transcribed in the opening crawl, but there's at least one sentence in there that is not only unspoken, but has zero contextual relevance.Fun with Subtitles: Two examples from A Delicate Time in History, though they're not strictly subtitles:.The third game in the series features the coins but doesn't even really mention them in the narrative.The character is later told that said items don't actually exist. In A Delicate Time in History, one person won't let Widok pass without gathering four of a certain item.In the first one, the goal seems to be to get all the coins…but there's seemingly no real reason to do so other than the plot demands it.Gratuitous Foreign Language: Mandarin Chinese and, in the case of the name "Sedno Kier", Polish appear in the game.Glowing Eyes of Doom: A large, creepy, purple rat has these, and same applies to a similar-sized tabby cat in the first game.In Sluggish Morss: Ad Infinitum, some character dialogue implies that a murder did occur in the first game. Dying Dream: Very possibly the entire first game, the protagonist seemingly having been killed by his brother in a dispute over money.Cyborg: At least some of the Superbabies may qualify, Gnik in particular due to how his face looks like something Scott Cawthon might have made up.It's unknown if it's supposed to be a Superbaby or not. The low-res baby face from the first two games has closed eyes and often flips back and forth rapidly.Gnik in particular looks like someone cut off the lower half of his face and welded a bunch of scrap metal and dentures to it. The Superbabies, especially the ones with speaking roles, are just the heads of babies that speak either in creepy machine-like speech or in a foreign language.Possibly played straight in the sequel, though. Casual Interstellar Travel: Seems to be averted, if some dialogue from the first game is any indication—one NPC states that they will not reach their destination for over five years.
