Just going to skip trying to figure it out yourself?

I mean, I had fun doing it.

Sigh... okay. But I'm keeping the styles the same. You still have to select the text.

"We have to stick together or else we will perish."

"Uhhhhhhhhhhh say that again?"
" i have to investigate this room"
"i have to i have"
"bring them here we have to escape"
"escape with our lives"
"do as i say and leave me be"
"Seriously, what the f--"

Friends, readers, and countrymen, there is a discussion thread now! If you ever wanted to ask me about the comic in general or have theories and things you think are out of place in this thread, put it all there!

>Sam: WHAT ARE YOU DOING WHAT ARE YOU DOING WHAT ARE YOU DOING



You don't know. Falling? Is this falling? Are you dead? Do you exist?

>Sam: Land.





Huh.

>Sam: Where the hell are you?



Guess the guy really wants you to do it, huh.

>Where's everyone else, anyway?



Dunno.

Approach the desk.

>Be the Sys Admin.

Here's your hero moment, Sam!

>You... do know how to work an intercom, right? How hard could it be?

> Consider all your options. What's at the desk besides the intercom?

>Here's your hero moment, Sam!



Yeah, you guess.

>You... do know how to work an intercom, right? How hard could it be?




"Uh, hey, this is Sam. I'm in the basement...I think?"



"Doc says we should all head down here. He SAYS he found the switch that'll get us out of here."
"I'm not sure if I believe him, but, uh..."
"It couldn't hurt? I guess. I think, together, that, um, we'll be safe."



"Besides, if this place is all falling apart..."
"It makes sense to stick close...?"
"We might...uh...need each other...and..."
"Um."
"Yeah."

>Y'think they might need directions? It was hard enough getting here when you had Grey leading the way.

>"Oh yeah, and don't worry if you happen to see non-euclidean geometry. That's just how it is now"

> Prisoners #00006 and #00082: Take in your current surroundings.

> Well, good thing absolutely everyone heard that announcement! Your job here is done.

Okay, then—now all that's left to do is to play the waiting game.

While you may expect a new post here by me to be an update, I hate to say it's actually an announcement of a (somewhat brief) hiatus.

Here is a tumblr post with the reasons why!

See you guys in October!

Hey everyone, I'm back!

It came to my attention over the hiatus that there was an unauthorized translation of Superego floating around. I'd really like it if you told me you plan to translate Superego in the first place (instead of me having to stumble upon it randomly), but this one had an extra layer in that it added a bunch of extraneous elements that ended up changing the story. Please don't do that!

For a translation, I don't mind localized speech or names (whatever gets the same mood across in your native tongue), but I do take offense to changing story concepts themselves (as that changes the mood itself). This is a story primarily about mental illness, written by me. Adding new things and changing others is not only disrespectful to me as an author, but it makes it not my story anymore.

(...And if you DO have an idea that's "Superego, but (x)," why not use that creative power to make your own original story instead?)

If you have any interest in translating Superego or have questions about how to translate something, please shoot me a PM anywhere I'm available! I don't bite, I promise. In fact, I'd like to make a website for Superego once it's over, and if you have a translation done by that time, I'd love to include it as an option!

With that out of the way, let's get back to what you came here for!

>Well, good thing absolutely everyone heard that announcement! Your job here is done.



Yeah!!!!!!

>Y'think they might need directions? It was hard enough getting here when you had Grey leading the way.

"UHH hey..."
"...totally forgot..."
