Latest / No Commentary Gaming / Desta: The Memories Between - First 20 Minutes (No Commentary Gameplay)
Transcript
- 1:29I've not been back in two years. This town, this house, I've just
- 1:37got so many memories. Mum and me have hardly spoken
- 1:41since I moved away. We're so disconnected now and I
- 1:45can't find the words to reach her.
- 1:48Dad would know what to say though.
- 1:51The last time everyone was here was his memorial.
- 1:53Now Mum's trying to sell the place.
- 1:56She's not the only relationship I left in a bad way either, but
- 1:59what can I really do? It's funny how being back in
- 2:05this room makes me feel like a kid again.
- 2:08I wanted a fresh start so badly. I even left the things that
- 2:12meant the most to me behind. Dad used to have us throw this
- 2:16ball back and forth as a way to work out our problems.
- 2:20It wasn't just me either. Being a youth worker, he
- 2:22probably helped hundreds of people.
- 2:25We'd look out at the night sky and he'd say, what do stars get
- 2:29for finishing last? A constellation prize.
- 2:35God, I wish he was here. He'd know how to sort things out
- 2:40with Mum, Fran, James, everyone. Dad, are you there?
- 3:01Hello. Who are you?
- 3:08Have you seen anyone else around here?
- 3:10What do you want? Wait, I remember you.
- 3:16You lived round our way. Hey, not cool.
- 3:29You want to play it like that? Then knocking down those
- 3:33crystals helped. Let me try it with this guy.
- 3:44Nice one. Oh yeah, it worked.
- 3:56Knocking him down made him go away.
- 3:59Random sketchy folk from our area.
- 4:02Who else is going to turn up? Let's keep moving.
- 4:05I don't know when I'll wake up. Getting hits not that bad, just
- 4:36feels like waking up a little Cool being a youth worker.
- 5:20Dad played ball games with other kids.
- 5:23I think it helped them open up. Me and dad would throw the ball
- 5:28for ages. It helped me find the words to
- 5:31say when I struggled. These dreams are weird.
- 5:44I don't really get it, but maybe I'm not supposed to yet.
- 5:49Wait, do I know you? Come on, Dester.
- 5:54You asked me here to help you remember?
- 5:57I'm you. OK?
- 6:00But why do you sound different? Thank you, Dester.
- 6:05You've got to trust me and yourself if you want to figure
- 6:08out why you're here. Why come back, Desta?
- 7:42I've been two years and now suddenly you care?
- 7:46Yeah. If this is the welcome I get,
- 7:48are you surprised? Remember, Desta, the worst that
- 7:53could happen is you wake up, then you can go again tomorrow
- 7:57night. I don't have the words to get
- 7:59through to her yet. Just try your best.
- 8:12No way. I don't know what, I feel like
- 8:20I'm drifting away but but I need to know what this place is.
- 8:24I need answers. Every loss is one step closer to
- 8:40a win in my eyes. We're back.
- 8:56At least you're here again. This time things feel different.
- 9:01Why does this all seem so real? Dad would say it's because
- 9:06you're anxious. It's like your subconscious is
- 9:09trying to help you out. Interesting way of helping, but
- 9:15I'd rather say something wrong here and get a ball to the face
- 9:18than get it wrong when I'm awake.
- 9:21I tell you all, you've got throwing skills.
- 9:26Do I? Or I'm just imagining I do.
- 9:31There's no difference here. Take a breather.
- 9:34I think this will help you get even better.
- 9:56You're going to lose the things I give you if you wake up, but
- 9:59don't worry, you can find them again.
- 10:57I'm not going to dream about everyone in Hargate.
- 11:00I'd imagine it's only the ones you're anxious about, but let's
- 11:03go. Fran.
- 11:24Fran, wait. Oh oh, my friend who doesn't
- 11:28text me back is in town. What people not good enough for
- 11:32you in the city? Either laters
- 12:00hold tight. Yes, impenetrable.
- 14:15one. Finally Fran.
- 14:18We were best mates. We grew up on the same St. as
- 14:21each other. Our Fran who held my hair back
- 14:25when I was sick. Our Fran who squared up to that
- 14:28guy for whistling at us. Hear me out.
- 14:31Not being in touch really hurt her.
- 14:34No, Dee, you can't just show up and expect everything to be
- 14:38normal. We used to chat every day.
- 14:42You said things wouldn't. Change.
- 14:45It's just been difficult. Hear me out.
- 14:52Hear you out. How about I throw you out?
- 14:56She's just hurt. I can turn this around.
- 15:25yeah. Cool.
- 15:40Nice. You've made more contact now
- 15:49than in the last bloody year. I should have messaged but
- 15:54called anything I know. I was worried you'd be like this
- 15:59and the longer it went the harder it got.
- 16:02So that's your excuse? Oh yeah, I've left it so long I
- 16:56thought you wouldn't want to be my friend anymore.
- 17:03That's it. You're.
- 17:05Mental. I'd rather you speak to me late
- 17:08than never. You're not coming after me
- 17:11again, are you? I don't think I can do another
- 17:14round with my best mate. Doesn't matter if it's been a
- 17:18week, a month, or even a year. It always feels the same with
- 17:22us. It's been weird not having you
- 17:25around. You're more to me than a best
- 17:29mate. OK, Look at us.
- 17:32We're still Fran and Dee. I mean, I've got my own life
- 17:37too, you know. I do miss you.
- 17:42Same here. This is a weird version of Cross
- 17:46Street. Why is it even like this?
- 17:49I haven't got a clue. Will you stay with me?
- 17:53I think I need your help. God, all right then.
- 17:57Not like you could have lived without me anyway.
- 18:12Zipping around the area could lead to interesting plays.
- 18:29Wherever. Whenever.
- 18:32Finally out of hibernation. Then dust off your sequin jacket
- 18:36because I've bagged us guest list at this Raven town later.
- 18:39James, hold up. I'm not some hermit, you know.
