Today I googled the meaning of the song “Alicia” in Clair Obscur and it reminded me of my best friend who is no longer with me.
All the songs in the game have meanings. “Gustave” is another song that I lament about. It tells of how I feel about the important people in my life who are no longer with me.
This game has such intricate story. I know these characters are fictional. As the fox in Le Petite Prince says, “if you tame me, then we shall need each other. To me, you will be unique in all the world… I shall know the sound of a step that will be different from all the others. Other steps send me hurrying back underneath the ground. Yours will call me, like music, out of my burrow.”
At first I was frustrated by the dodge parry mechanics but they grew on me. I usually don’t have very good reflexes but I kept at it and actually got pretty skilled to the point where I beat the extra bosses. The music is brilliant and the world is so beautiful and the voice acting is perfect. Such a magnificent game.
I was so proud when I could finally parry and beat Simon. Then his second phase wiped me and I noped right out of there.
