How do you do, fellow Ice-Pick Lodge fans? I'm currently in the process of doing a series of write-ups on The Void, a game I'm deeply in love with in spite of, tragically enough, never having actually played it. Interpret that as being somehow indicative of the strength of The Void as a game. You can find the first part of my projected three part write-up
by clicking on these words! I hope my observations and analyses don't end up embarrassing me under the scrutiny of folks like yourselves, who probably know the game much more intimately than I do, but I also hope I've done The Void proud in my own way.
Moving on then to the subject of this topic: for the second part of my write up I'm focusing on a character analysis of the Sisters. Interpreting their chambers, Colour diets, poisons, body language, etc., and attempting to develop something biographical for each of them. So far it's going swimmingly, but I feel like I'm missing some information that could be extremely enriching to my work. In
CannibalK9's Let's Play (which is a tremendous piece of work, and is what got me into The Void and Ice-Pick Lodge) he refers to the Russian version of the game featuring a brief introduction from Sister Death the first time you enter a Sister's chamber. Specifically, he mentions that Death claims Sister Eli would "spend a thousand years in the Void for one day on the surface." This is really important to her character, I feel, and really nourished my understanding of her. Has anyone compiled and translated what Sister Death has to say about her fellow Sisters? Or even, are there such statements, or was CannibalK9 misinformed or confused?
My apologies if this information is readily available and I simply haven't searched hard enough for it. I look forward to hopefully receiving a reply, and if it pleases the (thrillingly still active!) community here, I will post a link to my article on the Sisters when it's complete.
Thanks folks.
