Phantasmagoria 2 Screencap Adventure - Chapter 1, Part 2 (2024)

Well, I took a bit of a break, what with university work and all. So there was a distinct lack of updatage. HOWEVER my finals are over and I'm free, so here's some more Phantasmagoria 2!

Also, a warning. This post is hueg because there are a lot of images. Just be wary if your connection sucks.

Part 1

Okay, time to get this going again

I give my savegames special names :B

Hey what's over here

A door! Can't go through it though.

Or do much of anything here. Back we go.

I actually blanked for a second here because I forgot that this game will actually have dynamic views, based on where you were. So I kinda stood here going 'adurr' for a second or two. Then I clicked on that door I have the cursor over.

Zomg newfangled keycard reader.

Once again I blanked, and you get to see my stupidity coming up. I was like 'wait I don't have a keycard wtf did I forget something', then I remembered you had to fish it out of your wallet.


He's smiling! He looks goofy as hell there.

adurr

You can't tell because I COVER UP MY MISTAKES but I actually failed here at first, because I didn't just use the keycard on the close button and then on the reader. I had to open the wallet again and fish out the card. Again. And THEN use it on the door.


Curtis just stares at the light like 'woo pretty'




I don't know why, but when you go through the door, the cutscene keeps going and specifically shows the door closing and the light going back red. It might be foreshadowing, I dunno.

OH MY GOD THE COLOURS AHSSJAGFKAGGHJ WAS THEIR DESIGNER BLIND

Curtis' durr face again. OH LOOK A WATER COOLER






Curtis: 'ugh tastes like chlorine'

Yeah that was totally pointless.

LET'S GO CHECK IN WITH DA BOSS


I think this guy's name is Tom. Could be wrong.





Curtis mentions something about finishing up a document.

Tom gives him a new project...



... And tells Curtis 'good work'. We can see that Curtis is pleased.


I THINK TOM WAS LYING.

Hey guys wanna know something awesome about Curtis

Wait WRONG WAY SELF

GOD I'M STUPID

That's his desk WHY AM I HERE ARGH THESE CUBICLES ARE IMPOSSIBLE TO NAVIGATE

See? Desk. Nerd desk. WTF is that robot clock thing seriously.

I'm sure this is still the wrong way

Durr.

This is Therese, BUT I DIDN'T WANT TO TALK TO HER YET GOD okay time to find where I'm supposed to be going.

THERE FINALLY

Right, this is Curtis' girlfriend. Her name is Jocilyn. They have an... interesting relationship.

LET'S GO BUG HER


The first time I saw this I was wondering wtf Curtis was doing

He looks like a stalker

MURDER ALREADY

OH GOD

Curtis: "Boo!"

ahaha that facial expression is precious



Jocilyn: "Tee hee, good morning."
Curtis: "Last night was amazing."
etc. etc.




KISSYFACE



Yeah, they pretty much just make out in the middle of her cubicle. This makes no sense, and you'll see why in a sec.





AHURRHURRHURR she looks absolutely stupid here

IT'S DARK

Let's bug her again.



Aw, she saw him this time.

Jocilyn: "Hey there sweetie!"

Curtis pouts and yells at her for shouting that

Curtis: "SHH DO YOU WANT PEOPLE TO HEAR"

Jocilyn: 'ugh god, yes Curtis because WE'RE GOING OUT'

Jocilyn: 'seriously wtf do you have issues or something'

Jocilyn: 'i should bite your face off'

They basically talk about how Curtis doesn't want anyone to know they're going out. Maybe the company has regulations against that sort of thing, I dunno.





I WONDER

TO THE FA-- aww. Not highlighted.

MAYBE I CAN GET HER WITH THE PHOTO MUAHAHAHA



"I found a photo of my folks."



"Your mother's pretty."



"You look just like her."

Curtis: *snap*



Curtis: GIMME


Curtis: >(


Curtis then emos and walks out silently.




Hahaha I love her face here
Jocilyn: ugh god why do I always get the freaks



Jocilyn: mmm chocolate


Oh this next bit is great.





I honestly have no idea what she's doing.



Curtis: "Look it, the company Christmas Party."
Jocilyn: "Oh yeah!"


Jocilyn: "I remember after the party too, tee hee"





Jocilyn: "I didn't know you had that."


Jocilyn: "Kinda surprised you let someone take a picture of us out in public together :|"
BUURN



Curtis: "Yeah, well... >:|"


Jocilyn: ugh oh my god you dork

Curtis: damn she's right what if someone finds this picture gotta burn it
Seriously, I have no idea why he's so paranoid about being seen with her. This makes less sense because he RANDOMLY MADE OUT WITH HER IN THE MIDDLE OF HER CUBICLE. TOTALLY INCONSPICUOUS THERE CURTIS.





Jocilyn: ugh gtfo



I wish I knew what she was staring at.

AGAIN WITH THE DARKNESS

hey remember that postcard





Curtis: "I got your postcard. :D"




Jocilyn: "Uhh.."

Jocilyn: "I didn't send this postcard."

Jocilyn: i can't find waldo either :D






Curtis: durr |:B




Curtis: "Huh, must be a joke then."




Curtis: "I bet it's Trevor."
btw I LOVE TREVOR! :D You'll se why in a bit, but he's awesome.




Curtis leaves...



And Jocilyn looks pissed again. I'M HELPING THEIR RELATIONSHIP :D




Jocilyn thinks about Trevor and Curtis and gets wet.

TIME TO SIT DOWN.



Curtis sits and fiddles...

And...

Trevor! :D

Trevor: "Well, good morning, Sleeping Beauty~"

Trevor: "What, were you up late last night watching Beavis and Butthead, or organising your stamp collection--"

Curtis: "For your information, I was up early."

Curtis: "My rat stole my wallet."

Trevor: "A likely story."
wtf where did he get that

Seriously wtf.

Trevor: BITE YOUR FACE OFF HURR

Trevor: "Yeah, you couldn't just haul your lazy butt out of bed, huh~"
Trevor gets this cute growl in his voice when he thinks about Curtis' butt. :B


Trevor: "I, on the other hand, have a social life."

Curtis: fffff


Curtis: sure you do



Trevor: "I was up, dancing 'til dawn."
AND THEN HE DOES THIS AWESOME HIP WAGGLE TO SEDUCE CURTIS WATCH



SEE

Curtis: argh gimme that you'll fag it up >(

Hahaha Trevor looks so hurt, like Curtis just kicked his cat or something. Poor Trevor.

Trevor: "But here I am on-time and..."

Trevor: "FRESH"

Trevor: "... as a daisy--"

Curtis: "A daisy, huh?"

Curtis: "You know, I could say something."
This is where the hints start. Btw Trevor is gay. Like, supergay.


Trevor: SAY WHAAA


Trevor: "Don't you go there~"

Trevor: "Don't go there~"
and he does this gay fingerwaggle.



Trevor: "I'll see you later, mean boy ;3"





And then he does that absolutely homosexual fingersnap and leaves.




Okay I messed up with the screencaps here. My capping program gave out on me, hence the WILDLY different image names. I had to go into the HANDY DANDY movie viewer and replay this scene with the computer. AT LEAST IT'S USEFUL SEE?

WOO MOVIE VIEWER. It actually makes it really easy to go back to anything you happened to miss.


I also missed the logon screen here. Curtis forgets his password and goes 'durr' and you have to use 'blob' as the password. Because he loves that rat.

Right about here you hear this odd whooshing noise.

Curtis: wtf is that noise is the ac broken

BAM. Curtis gets punched in the teeth.


Curtis: wtf wtf

He freaks out about here.




He looks bewildered for a bit.






Curtis: wtf ow

Curtis: okay what this makes no sense





I dunno why, but this little touch of having the blood spatter on the keyboard really got to me. It honestly felt like he got hit hard enough to clean bust his lip open.





Curtis: man that was weird what else could happ--

Voice: "FREAK"


I capped all of these because in the ones after you hear 'FREAK' you can see this reflection in his glasses. It shifts as you can see, and he can obviously see whatever called him a freak. It's another nice touch.



Curtis: omg that was weird


So I decide to call Trevor. Because I am gay for Trevor.



Yeah, you can actually dial here, and it's kinda neat. What I do find odd is that Curtis would do this rather than walk around, BUT HEY.


Curtis: "Hey Trev, I was wondering... have you seen anything weird today?"

Trevor: "Just your freaky ass."

Curtis: "Yeah, well.. okay, I'll talk to you later."

Trevor: "Hey wait, you're serious. What's wrong, bud?"


Curtis: durr

Curtis: "Oh, nothing. It's just bad brains. I'll see you later."

Curtis: *sigh*


LET'S GO SEE TREVOR HEE



Trevor~





Trevor: "Hey Curtis HOLY CRAP WHAT HAPPENED TO YOUR FACE"

Curtis: "It's nothing."

Curtis then kinda explains randomly getting invisible slugged.

Trevor: D:

Aww, I like how worried he looks.

Awww

Trevor smiles for some reason. Yay goofy faces.



They talk, and Trevor tells him to take care of himself. That's pretty much the gist of it.



I like to think he looks super worried.

This is where I did the playback. :B

Let's go talk to Therese! :D


I didn't talk to her earlier so you get this weird conversation.




Curtis: "Do you think there are things we can't explain?"

Therese: "Sure." (basically)



Therese: damn he's hot




Curtis leaves

She stares at him.



I keep catching these randomly.

Okay, the first time you see her you're SUPPOSED to see this.




Curtis: Hey Therese could you put this random file up for me I need it
Therese: Sure
THAT'S IT. REALLY.





Wait why can I use the sexy postcard on her



Curtis: "Hey Therese, I know you like old movie stuff--"
Therese: GIMME


Curtis: wtf don't read it
Therese: lol hot





Therese: "Wanna know a secret?"



Therese: "I sent that postcard."

Therese: AND I'M A VAMPIRE! NOM!


Therese: "Tee hee"

Curtis looks bewildered

And yet is strangely aroused.


And runs away. Oh Curtis, you're such a dork. <3




IT'S BOB! He's a fuckhead. :D


Curtis: "Hey Bob I need this file."

Curtis: you know, if you could stop being a lardass for a minute.

Bob: "Oh no, rat boy. That case is mine."






Bob: "So, uh, PISS OFF."
Curtis: *incredulous*



Curtis: well yeah, fuck you too

And Bob gives him the finger.


LET'S TALK TO HIM AGAIN



Curtis: ugh fuck that




Back to the office.









Let's call Jocilyn.

Curtis: hey there sweetie
Jocilyn: tee hee

Curtis: kissyface
Jocilyn: tee hee

Curtis: okay bye
Jocilyn: tee hee

Curtis: god that woman is silly

Curtis: i mean she's just oh look a quarter


Oh yeah, and you have a list of their extensions. And yours. In case you wanted to call yourself.

In fact...

LET'S DO THAT

adurr

He puts the phone down and lets it ring. Apparently he does this a lot.



Curtis: Hurr hurr Curtis speaking how may I--

Voice: "HELLO CURTIS" (This is the same as the one that yelled 'freak'.)
Curtis: wtf wtf

Voice: "YOU FILTHY LITTLE MOTHER-LICKING"
Curtis: aaaaaaaaaaa wtf

Curtis: *slam*

Curtis: wtf wtf who is that

Then I stared at the phone.

Let's do some work. Because we're at work. I keep forgetting that, and evidently, so does Curtis.

You actually get a pretty good GUI here.

Oh look, work--

HEY WE GET EMAIL COOL *distracted*

Oh Trevor~

lawl joke.

FUNNY REPLY GO

These jokes are cheesy as hell

lulz

SEND IT

Haha cool another joke-- wait what
Okay, we know who sent this.

Just wtf

WHAT RESTRICTED AREAS YOU SAY

Pff chemicals sure

Yay for corporations.

Hahahaha I LOVE WHAT THEY PROVED
It's so totally ridiculous. This is hilarious.

Yay more Trevor jokes~

Ahahaa okay more funny.

lawl awesome Curtis.

So I actually pondered what to do here. So I clicked 'straight reply' to avoid messing up their relationship any more.

BUT IT LOOKS LIKE CURTIS IS AWESOME AT DOING THAT ON HIS OWN. GOOD GOING CURTIS.

I blanked out here for a sec OH LOOK TREVOR REPLIED.

Inflict is indeed the right word. OH LOOK HE REPLIED AGAIN~

And he does mean 'like'. 83

These next few screencaps are just going through random things.



That asshole.

Hello hello, what do we have here?

I can't remember the password, so off we go.

Hate him SO MUCH.






Your boss. Real boss.



This is pretty much what Curtis is working on. tl;dr

TIME TO WORK.

adurr.

MORE WORK

wait what

Curtis: oh wtf what now

Curtis: *sigh*

Curtis: this is bullshit

Curtis: first I get slugged and then I find out this random hot chick wants to bone me

Curtis: and now my monitor shuts off. If I lose that work I'm gonna be pissed.

Curtis: maybe bob did it. I should kick his ass.

Curtis: well at least no more freaky shit is happening.

Curtis: wtf

Curtis: fuck why did I say that



Right here you hear this woman mumbling like a crazy.

This is the woman mumbling like a crazy. Man that's an old broom.


Curtis: *wibble*


Woman: wtf who are you

Woman: oh shi--

Woman: NO YOU WON'T TAKE MAH TEEF

Orderly: ugh just let us in crazy woman
Woman: MAH TEEF

Orderly: HULK PUSH
Woman: THEY'S COMIN FOR MAH BRAINMEATS

Woman: SAVE YOURSELF BRAINMEATS

Orderly #2: cool, brainmeats. I'll get those for ya

Curtis: *weep*

Curtis: *wibble wibble*

Woman: "MY BABY!"
This is Curtis' mother btw. She was nuts.

Orderly: gotcha bwahahaha

I love how they randomly busted into her door, grabbed her, and left.

... AHAHAHAHA I SHOULD FEEL SORRY FOR HIM BUT LOOK AT THAT FACE AHAHAHAHA


Curtis: *poutyface*

I can't tell if he's laughing or crying. Probably laughing.

SERIOUSLY LOOK HE'S LAUGHING. WORST ACTOR EVER

Curtis: MY EYES THEY BURN

Oh well, back to wory crazy man.

Curtis: they's comin for mah teef

Curtis: whoa my hands are making rainbows

SUDDENLY

HAND TO THE FACE

Seriously a hand comes out of the screen and GRABS HIS FACE
FOR NO REASON

Curtis: raaagh graagh i knew it! for mah teef!

Hand: i win lol


And then Curtis gets pushed back...

and is somehow in a straight jacket

Curtis: NOOO NOT AGAIN

Curtis: LEMME OUT AAAAA



Voice: "Hello, Curtis..."

Voice: "You miserable..."

Voice: "... insane..."

Voice: "... wretch!"



Curtis: "I'm not insane!"

Voice: "Are you not?"

Voice: "But you know that your mother was."



Curtis: "Not always!"

Curtis: graaaagh

Voice: "You're right."

Voice: "She wasn't always the violent..."

Voice: "... gibbering..."

Voice: "... drooling lunatic that she was!"

Voice: "WAS SHE?"

Voice: "You drove her to it."
Curtis: "I DID NOT!"

Curtis: "I was only six years old..."

Voice: "YES!"

Voice: "A six year old little monster..."

Voice: "Who drove his poor mother to madness... and finally..."

Voice: "TO SUICIDE!"

Curtis: "NOOOOO!"

Curtis: oh my god what the fuck


Bob: "Freak."

Curtis: i'll fucking cut you
Seriously, this is the meanest look I've ever seen Curtis give. Holy crap.

Bob wets himself

And runs off. Run, Bob, run.

Curtis: what the holy god was that


Curtis: holy shit



And back to the desk.

And that's it for now. I'll be doing part 3 which SHOULD end this chapter tomorrow, and we get to see even MORE scary shit. Seriously, this weird stuff? Only the beginning.
