So youre telling me theres a guy in the facility rn with no legs, one arm and a fuckton of guns and is living off of pure indignation with a hot voice coming towards us right now
Ok so I haven’t played endoparasitic nor seen a playthrough of it for a while but Cynte is such a cool character. He’s a bitch. He survived having three of his limbs torn off. He’s a horrible boss. He’s obsessed with becoming the host of a bunch of parasitic flies. He has a huge god complex. He dragged himself around an entire facility and learned how to operate weaponry with only one arm. What a lad ever.
Welcome to the Obscure Horror Game Protagonist Bracket, where the "obscure" in the name is modifying the word "protagonist" and not the word "game".
We believe we have, after a decent amount of deliberation, come up with a wide range of characters, ranging from "Just Normal Guys" to "Insane Torture Murderers" to "an apple", some from games that are fairly obscure themselves and some from games that are actually pretty well known, but we believe all these somewhat arbitrarily chosen characters have one thing in common: If you referred to them by name while talking to any given random person, we've determined there's at least a 60-70% chance they won't know who you're talking about. And they're horror game protagonists. More or less. They all have two things in common. Kind of.
Due to the nature of the premise, it is likely that there will be some situations where you may not have any idea who these people are. To compensate for this, descriptions of the characters including any notable traits will be included with each poll. There's no shame in deciding which one you like better on the spot if it comes down to that.
Additionally, we would like you to please be wary that due to the nature of this being about horror game characters, sensitive subject matter will be mentioned in the descriptions of many of the characters, as it's often unavoidable. Similarly, there will be spoilers for the storylines of the games brought up here, if that matters to you.
But without further ado...
OUR ROUND 1 MATCH-UPS:
Cynte (Endoparasitic) vs. Blake Langermann (Outlast 2)
Ellis Lynch (Blair Witch) vs. Murphy Pendleton (Silent Hill: Downpour)
Michael Tapp (Saw 2: Flesh and Blood (Xbox 360)) vs. Daniel Lamb (Manhunt 2)

Content Warnings on Endoparasitic, Nightmare Reaper, and Sunless Skies all involve; violence, blood, gore, body horror, things of that nature in case any of you unaware look into these games
Warning: I am already biased for Hylics 2 and Sunless Skies, cause I beat Hylics 1, and have played skies on switch
Uhhhhh…… mutuals please help vote or spread @mayhem-moth @goblinofthelaboratory @amethyst-aster @agentldiddy @dova-70 @bobbyzombiegg @completely-real-and-normal-human
I find it really funny that Endoparasitic starts with Cynte like doing his laundry or something, man had the ironing board out and the iron on when the shambling horrors walked up, tore off 3 of his limbs, refused to elaborate, and left
"praví survives" content :D stuck together in da extremely contagious parasite quarantine ward. they're both infected because the parasites venting sussily through the oxygen system probably reached praví too
inspired by this post by @doomvxga but i took a silly post-escaping-the-lab approach
my controversial endoparasitic opinion is that luce is not a girlboss and is a worse person than cynte. they could even be considered two sides of the same coin. both really shortsighted in a way and think they’re right. spoilers in the tags
We are back! Round one had some surprises and confusion but with the longest week in recorded history now over we now have the results, and are now preparing to enter round two!
Our matchups for this round will be as follows:
Cynte (Endoparasitic) vs. Murphy Pendleton (Silent Hill: Downpour)
Michael Tapp (Saw 2: Flesh and Blood (PS3)) vs. Andy the Apple (Andy's Apple Farm)
Eriko Christy (Illbleed) vs. Simon Jarrett (SOMA) (...oh I feel bad for Eriko...)
Thomas Smith (Neverending Nightmares) vs. Arthur Hastings (We Happy Few)
I must say even though some of these results confused us they did result in there being a very funny corner on this bracket. Round two will start on May 12th (this Friday). Perhaps we might actually get to our final round before the heat death of the universe!
