I just read through the Happiest Apocalypse on Earth

They really needed to settle on a tone here. It’s more goofy Evil Dead horror than the eldritch eeriness I was promised by the cover.

If I ran the game I’d play up the eerie sadness of Mr.Mouse . He kills guests and then brings them back to life after a few days.

Because he just wants friends. He rewrites their memories so that all they remember of the few days wandering the park with a sad alien ghost god is all the fun they had together, and nothing of him. “It was an awesome vacation! I got to skip the lines, eat all I wanted and never gained a pound and they even let me go off the high dive!”

The real horror comes from finding your own rotting child corpse in the utility tunnels corpse disposal.

Mr.Mouse gives you a new body. He doesn’t resurrect your old one. That’s the real purpose of the Final Quest Foundation village. Die and come back without cancer.

That weird murder and resurrection ritual you’ve been helping to cover up? That happened to you as a child. Your parents let you be killed. They knew you’d be resurrected, but they still gave you to Mr.Mouse . He promised to give you back, but they still gave you to him.

Can anyone else think of weird twists where “this is horrible but stopping it would be worse?”
