44:56 I'm assuming this is what we looked like in Mothered. but in child size.
So watching this after having watched the Mothered playthrough, it's now even sadder. the "red" in the title (Mother+Red) now makes sense, and after their entire time of being a sort of soulless AI, they finally obtain some kind of sentience (influenced perhaps by their previous existence Liana) but now they are being labeled as contaminated and must be studied due to this new sentience and will to create their own purpose. Now they are being studied and killed over and over... so sad.

Honestly this game freaked me out not by jumpscares but by glitchy textures hiding the monster from even knowing it’s in front of you. Love it
This game has one of the most uncanny and unsettling graphics I have ever seen. Not just by the great use of this polygonal PS1 style, but the glitch aesthetic builds more than a visual feature, it creates a mechanic. It feels like you are in a place where even walking on a straight line, from here to there, makes you travel dimensions. The way the light and your movement interacts with the materials/textures was amazing. Like at 25:57, this corridor texture feels like it's moving, creating this trippy optical illusion and a strange feeling (everytime he passed through I was like "OH NO, NOT AGAIN"). And that particular sky at 38:30 was truly breathtaking. Really loved this game.
The monster is creepy enough but why does it (she?) walk like its in the middle of a fashion show? I've never seen a horror game monster this sassy before

Ye, alas the hop from Daughter to supposedly Red is a long one. Sure we cant be sure how strong the bond to his new Daughter is but if we talk the same AI here, Im sure dad would have had issues with throwing her/it into the blender like this. DaughterAI didnt mind not having a purpose in the end but seemed content with taking whatever that may come her way after merging with the Terminal and THIS game states that Red had to be located. So I assume, if DaughterAI is Red, dad took her/it with him and hunkered down until bullet to the head.

Also, after watching "Mothered", it seems the corporation's true objective is to use these sentient androids to "resurrect" dead people, they just want to add the "core" or mental essence of deceased individuals into mechanical bodies, so they may walk again among the living. An independent AI gaining sentience while ignoring the core that it was programmed to follow after wouldn't be much productive and rather risky.

Looks cool but I hope in the future, people don’t say their game has ps1 as an excuse to have lazy graphics because I can definitely tell the difference between the 2. This game has ps1 graphics and I like that.
Whys the music so good ...
Awesome Game. It's a bit like Push or Don't push the Button.

Same with the post-process shaders except the jittering moving pixels one. PS1 era games just used baked, animated and regular textures or meshes to achieve lighting effects and horizons that wasted resources using shaders for them here. They were very limited with what they had so, they used their imaginations to express what they wanted us to perceive.
