Maybe [[NotRareOverThere there's a whole Agency on Lental]].' No, [[AvertedTrope it's just the one]]. Looks like [[PalsWithJesus he's friends with a Pichu on Florio]]. And Mirror ''doesn't care''.

42->''"The details of my life are quite inconsequential. Very well, where do I begin? My father was a relentlessly self-improving boulangerie owner from Belgium with low-grade narcolepsy and a penchant for buggery. My mother was a fifteen year old French prostitute named Chloe with webbed feet. My father would womanize, he would drink. He would make outrageous claims like he invented the question mark. Sometimes he would accuse chestnuts of being lazy. The sort of general malaise that only the genius possess and the insane lament. My childhood was typical. Summers in Rangoon, luge lessons. In the spring, we'd make meat helmets. When I was insolent, I was placed in a burlap bag and beaten with reeds--pretty standard, really. At the age of twelve, I received my first scribe. At the age of fourteen, a Zoroastrian named Vilma ritualistically shaved my testicles. There really is nothing like a shorn scrotum ... it's breathtaking--I highly suggest you try it."''

Well, Innsmouthers show up in this game, someone points them out to us and goes "They look weird, don't they? It's because they worship Dagon and are turning into fish. Besides that, they're alright lads, but I wish they'd stop flooding the economy with all that gold they get from those deep ones they're always knobbing." It just throws me how everyone including the protagonist takes this all in stride! The game has a rather insipid combat element as partial justification for the open-world, so every now and again we get attacked by reject VideoGame/SilentHillHomecoming monsters in a basement and no one seems to give a shit!
