*Looks around* All the houses are built out of the things you can find just about everywhere. Not exactly anachronistic.


*Looks at the ground around where they are, very closely*
Maybe it is the people. Or it could be something non-physical.

@Heroic

Well, what's one thing in this village that isn't anywhere else? Other than people. I doubt the Light Bringers are afraid of the people.


I wouldn't rule it out, but it is likely something else.
<Snipped quote by Heroic>

It is. In this test you will work with us—we have the knowledge you need. Just as you will work with us as intelligent beings, you will work with other elements of nature--now you create life, but soon you will exploit its struggle and then death itself.


An accelerated representation of the cycle of Existence itself. I am very happy with the themes the tests are developed around.

When we reach the pearl. *After a bit, we come to the outskirts of the village; a ways away there is a carcass of a wolf-looking animal surrounded by animals that look like lions; the centre of the carcass seems to grow a pale green light* The pearl is there, in the gray animal.


Interesting predicament.
<Snipped quote by Heroic>

Notice everything. Use what you have to your advantage. For example, the bug eaters-- *Points at the Venus Fly Traps above* are attracted to light. The wood here is much brighter than what little light filters through the trees. You might have seen this earlier if you were paying attention, this and many other characteristics of the rainforest around you. Make sure you listen to everything we say.


Got it. Anything else?
Very first Cuphead gameplay vid I've seen featured the people improv acting and pretending to not be capable of doing the tutorial for 17 minutes and I had a greater appreciation for it once I realized its purpose.
<Snipped quote by Heroic>

One will suffice for the two of you.


Okay. And what advice do you have for us?
<Snipped quote by Heroic>

And the beginning of your test is always to retrieve one. We will give you advice, but if we go too near, the pearl will die. Conveniently, there is one near the outskirts of the village.


I assume each of us must retrieve one of our own?

Good. You see, we are excited every time new travellers come to take the test. In order for our people to have offspring, a pearl of life—which is the source of our name—must be retrieved and given to one of the parents. But the rainforest remembers us. Each being can only ever retrieve one in his lifetime.


I see.
<Snipped quote by Heroic>

hey get Sven in on this
let's get the gang back together


The way I'm gonna handle things at this point, I think I have a way to make that work.
