The Longing-ist Playthrough: Day 6 – 06/01/22 – 388 Days, 8 Hours, 20 Minutes and 50 Seconds to go…
While the play session started with a pretty solid agenda, it wasn’t long until my plans were resolved and I was left scratching around for progress. I wasn’t disappointed though, as what did happen was significant indeed…
Firing up the Switch. I immediately found that Monty had entirely polished off Moby Dick, which made me feel rather inferior considering the number of times I’ve tried and failed to get to the end. Good on you though, mate – in two sittings as well. You’re a literacy machine.

Day 5 started with the confirmation of something I had guessed – Monty and I don’t ‘do time’ in the same way! 😅 I fired up my Switch, a little giddy at the thought of crossing the [broken stair] but was immediately brought back to earth with a bump, seeing as the stalactite was still hanging from the ceiling. 😒 Really glad I didn’t wait around for it to fall last night – I’d have been knackered this morning!

Oh, did Day 4 have some excitement! Like, legitimate excitement. The kind that made me realise this game isn’t just going to be a slow shuffle through 2022, but an intriguing saga that will keep me gripped. At least, that’s how it feels after last night… but let me start at the beginning of my session, which was decidedly more mundane.

Ugh. Yesterdays playthrough was a bit of a broken one, since I had a busy day. My girlfriend and I had a shopping trip planned, so I took my Switch with me to check in on Monty while we were on the train. (I wasn’t neglecting her for anyone wondering, she was getting stuck into Skyward Sword on her Switch Lite.) I was pretty excited because I knew the [exit of the Palace] doors would be open and I was looking forward to exploring the upper caverns.

“I dreamed about my death. First I heard a scream, and then I fell from a great height.”
The Shade
Well, that’s certainly a point to start on. I’m suddenly rather thankful I didn’t ask him to jump down to the [crystal mine]… I decided to draw another sketch before I left for the evening, and flicking through the choices with the new colours I realised that I could combine them to make different and better pictures! That’s a pretty sweet feature! The ones using black, white and red are all pretty terrifying though! I asked the Shade to draw a crescent moon in black and white and he did a good job – a perfect bad moon now hangs above the desk. Shade mentions that time moves more quickly in the presence of beautiful art, and indeed, the timer has sped up again. Time to get out of here.
Opening the menu, I ask the Shade to return to the [moss room]; I didn’t really know where to start but I know I left some unfinished business in that spiky corridor that I wanted to check out. I watched on as the Shade pottered his way through the tunnels up to the [moss room], asking him to stop and collect any loose coal on the way. Rather annoyingly, you have to tell him his destination again each time you stop, but I felt like getting a stock of coal was more important than having to keep clicking over and again.
