Topic: The F*ck is with that face in SoTN?

[Flame]

That damn face under the throne room. It has a platform, but it, and the platform, seem to serve no purpose at all.

So WTF?

Not to mention, its a double sided face. the inverted version has it's own look too.

I think it's just for fun

this^^^

its just there basically.

I've noticed that too, and I was even gonna make a topic about it!
It's just another one of those quirky things about the castle that was put there to make you go "hmmm..."


Lets stretch things out, thought I'd bring it up here



notice the portrait on the top right, barely visible but i see it as a reference to Paranoia!!!



here's another looong stretch!


the 2nd icon to the left
for some reason reminds me of one of Soma's transformations

[Flame]

haha, I can see it, both. XD

Those masks up there also remind me of something...

I always thought that face in the SotN keep was just a bit of foreshadowing that things would soon get topsy-turvy.

I do't see any masks I see butterflies

I always use that platform as a resting spot, to restore my magic for a few seconds or do whatever I happen to want. I think it's also positioned fairly close to that ledge with things on it (mist something?), so I tend to use that for positioning, as well.

Interesting, but I think they're just here for nothing.

I just noticed that again the other night, too. But that adds to the charm of SotN...so many curiosities about that game, whether they have any reason at all or not. I love that. Kind of like the different colors of blood skeletons in the inverted castle.

One of my absolutely favorite aspects of SotN is how much insane detail there is in the backgrounds.  Not exaggerating when I say that each and every time I play through SotN, I notice something new.  For a game that I've played through quite possibly close to 100 times by this point, that's saying a lot.

I love LoS for the same reason.  The environments are so incredibly detailed.

Yeah, to bad all the games don't have that level of detail.

Well, there are the masks of Drama (Comedy and Tragedy, the smiley and frowny ones) but otherwise I dunno.

[Chernabogue]

It's like the portrait that watches you in DoS or the bloody hands in PoR.

Or the painting of the blond Carmilla crying blood from Haunted Castle.
