Commento del gioco “Eden”

1. Something isn't right today. You don't know what it is.

But you do have a feeling. --> Ho un presentimento strano

2-You have this strange and eerie feeling SOMETHING is going to happen, but you have no idea what it is.

That is, until…. --> Continuo ad avere un certo presentimento e cerco di capire meglio

3.That is until your supervisor shows you the lab's new specimen. "We're not sure what it is," he says. "But it can't be human."

You take a look. --> Osservo ciò che ho davanti

4.You take a look at the specimen and try to conceal your horror. "Are you sure it isn't human?" you ask. Your supervisor just shrugs. "Keep an eye on it," he says. "I'll be back in a few minutes." Then, save for the "specimen" in the holding cell, he leaves you all alone.

You feel conflicted. --> Mi sento in conflitto con me stessa

5. The creature in the cage looks like a person to you. Different, perhaps, but either human or so close that it hardly matters. The creature in the cage looks like a person to you. Different, perhaps, but either human or so close that it hardly matters. "What's your name?" you ask, hands curled around the bars. The specimen... no the prisoner wearily shakes their head.

You decide to rescue the prisoner --> Scelgo di salvare il prigioniero perché non mi sembra cattivo

No. It's safer to keep your distance.

6. You whisper to the prisoner, "I'm going to rescue you." The prisoner stares, disbelieving, and asks, "Why would you do this for me?" This person speaks perfect English, albeit with a curious accent you've never heard before. "Because it's the right thing to do," you say.

Let's get out of here. --> Convinco il prigioniero ad uscire dalla cella

7. Your supervisor's been careless. He left his cell keys on the table. Your hands are shaking as you fumble with them, searching for the right-numbered one. Aha!

We're outta here. --> Siamo riusciti ad uscire

8. This rescue is going surprisingly well, and it looks like no one's around. You take the prisoner's hand and...

and…. --> Cerco di capire cosa sta succedendo

9. You don't know where the guards came from. They shoot you both dead.

--> What a gruesome end. --> Siamo morti entrambi

10. You've had the same dream for three nights in a row. (Well, actually, the last three mornings since you're on the night shift.) It never ends quite the same. Maybe you're just THAT depressed your vacation is ending now. Anyway, it's time to get ready. Who do you see in the mirror?

I'm a woman. --> Scelgo di essere una donna perché riesco meglio ad immedesimarmi nelle scelte da fare

I'm a man.

I'm neither, actually.

11. I need to get more rest, you think. You shower, you groom, you dress, you grab breakfast.

Time to face the day. --> Incomincio la mia giornata lavorativa

12. You get to work on time like you always do. After all, getting ahead takes making a good impression. Though the "good impression" you've left on some, you could do without.

Hang up your coat. --> mi tolgo il cappotto

13. You put away your coat and purse and head for lab A-3. As usual, that Aaron guy chases you down to make smalltalk and say how he loves your hair. You don't like him, honestly, but you try to be polite. So, you smile and nod and say "Gotta go" as soon as you get the chance.

So, what's up? --> mi sento stanca dalla routine quotidiana.

14. When you get to lab A-3, almost no one is there. You ask an acquaintance named Kyra, "What's going on?" She tells you, "Check B-2. While you were gone, they brought in a real, live alien and everyone wants a look.". "Are you sure it's all right?" you ask. She says, "It's fine. I'll cover for you. Besides, Jones is there and he wants to see you." Jones being your supervisor, who's called you "brilliant" before.

Go to Lab B-2 --> sta succedendo qualcosa e vado verso il laboratorio

15. Phones aren't allowed in the basement labs, so you leave yours in your mini-locker. You go to lab B-2, where they keep the most secret of secrets—even for this place. You only earned clearance a week ago and you're eager to see what's inside. You swipe your card through scanner. The door unlocks. You go inside. You notice there's a card reader inside the room as well—likely an added precaution to help keep whatever's in here from escaping. Everyone is "Ooh"ing and "Aaah"ing over the new specimen that's in the cell in the corner. You nudge your way through the crowd and... and....

Oh my God. --> sono preoccupata perché ho appena visto…

16. Huddled behind those cold steel bars is the most beautiful creature. Beautiful... and if not human, close enough that it hardly matters. You're absolutely haunted by this creature... no, this person's mournful eyes. The captive is wearing loose gray prison clothes—pants and a short-sleeved shirt. You believe this ethereal being....

Is male.

Is female.

Is neither. --> scelgo che non sia nessuno dei due perché voglio portare avanti la mia immaginazione.

Is MESMERIZING. You'll work out the details later.

17. This person is pure androgynous perfection, beyond all the standard distinctions. "What... how...?" you ask Jones. It's difficult right now to voice coherent thoughts. Luckily, he knows what you mean. "We're calling it Eden, Jones replies. "Agents discovered it three days ago in a field not far from here, captured it and brought it in for study. We believe it's an alien life form." "Can they speak?" "It seems physically capable of speech, but we don't know its language. And that's why I wanted to see you."

Why me? --> mi sento importante, cerco di capire perchè ha scelto me

18. "Why me?" you "Why me?" you ask. "Several of us have tried already, but the creature won't respond. Essentially, it's your turn." As good an answer as any. You kneel in front of Eden's cell. "Hello," you say quietly so as not to frighten them. "You probably don't understand me, but... I'm not here to hurt you." Send them away, whispers a gentle voice in your mind. Please. Send them away. You blink in surprise since it isn't your voice. It must belong to Eden. It sounds....

Exactly like you'd expect. --> dall’aspetto che questa creatura ha, la sua voce me la immaginavo proprio così.

Different somehow.

19. Their voice sounds exactly like you'd expect: calming like autumn rain.

But back to Eden's request --> sto vagando nei pensieri, ma torno a concentrarmi

20. Eden asked you to clear the room. You look back and say, "Eden is telepathic. They asked me to ask everyone else to leave." Silence. The other scientists exchange puzzled looks and mumurs about the brain scans they took and how they were "different" from a human's. "All right," Jones says. "But I want a full report on your findings."

Now, it's time to talk to Eden. --> dopo esser riuscita a fare uscire tutti dalla stanza, siamo solo io e Eden.

21. You ask Eden:

Where are you from?

Why are you here?

Why did you pick ME?

Eden, how are you feeling? --> scelgo questa domanda per mettere a proprio agio la creatura, cercando di immedesimarmi in essa.

Can you tell me your real name?

22. You ask Eden gently, "Eden, how are you feeling?" Eden stares at you for a long time. "You're the first one here to ask me that sincerely," they say softly. Their eyes are shining with tears. "Thank you. I am.... I've been better."

Ask more questions. --> sono contenta della risposta, quindi continuo a fare altre domande.

23. You ask Eden:

Where are you from?

Why are you here?

Why did you pick ME? --> voglio sapere perché ha scelto me.

Eden, how are you feeling? (Already asked)

Can you tell me your real name?

-Or-

That's enough questions for now.

24. You ask Eden, "Why did you choose to talk to me?" Eden says, "Give me your hand." You do. Then, they answers you. I sensed you were different from the others. That maybe... you might help me.

Ask more questions? --> scelgo di saperne di più

That's enough questions for now.

25. You ask Eden:

Where are you from?

Why are you here?

Why did you pick ME? (Already asked)

Eden, how are you feeling? (Already asked)

Can you tell me your real name? --> cerco di indagare sulla sua identità

-Or-

That's enough questions for now.

26. You say, "I'm sure your real name isn't Eden. That's just the name they gave you. If it's all right, could you tell me your real name?" Eden smiles. "Maybe later. But not yet."

Ask more questions?

-Or-

That's enough questions for now. --> capisco che non vuole svelare troppo cose e quindi decido di fermarsi con le domande.

27. You and Eden both are silent for a while. You feel sorry for their being held captive like this, but what can YOU do? You're not in charge of anything here., and you feel horrible for what they must be going through. How can anyone approve of keeping this gentle, intelligent person as a thing to experiment on?

Try to console Eden.

Try to reach Eden with your thoughts. --> cerco di capire i pensieri di Eden per scavare più a fondo per ciò che sta provando.

28. Since Eden can reach you mind-to-mind, you decide to see if it can work the other way. With all your concentration, you think, Eden. Can you hear me Eden answers, Yes. Is there anything you can tell me that might help me get you out of here? Things you've noticed? Certain abilities you have? Eden says, If I'm close enough, I can "communicate" with technology and alter it with my mind. I can do it most accurately with things I'm actually touching. I can sense the presence of other living beings. And I doubt they've found my ship since it was cloaked when I left it. If I could use something as a tracking device, I could find my way back to it. Do they know what you can do? They only know about my telepathy. And that's only because of today. Hmm.

Figure out your next steps. --> decido di andare fino in fondo.

You're having second thoughts.

29. You and Eden work out a plan. Communicating mind-to-mind makes it go by quickly. Eden's technomancy skills can turn your card into a master key. They can likely disable security cameras and alarms as well, provided they can get close enough—and in very little time since destruction takes a lot less nuance than recreation. (You're glad they haven't tried that with the lock on they cell. Cell locks STAY locked if they're tampered with at all.) Also, perhaps most importantly, they can reconfigure any smartphone locate their ship. Since the cell has a keycard lock (located across the room and out of Eden's range), freeing them won't be a problem. The problem is that after that, you need to get them out of the building without getting caught. First, though, you take out your keycard so Eden can work their magic. You do your best to keep it hidden from camera view, knowing there's one behind you pointed directly at the cell. It's done, Eden says after a minute or so. It can open any electronic lock now. You put the card back in your lab coat pocket. Now, you can free Eden. But first....

You need to get your smartphone.

No, Nab a phone on the way out. --> Prenderò un telefono non appena uscirò.

30. It’s better to nab a phone on the way out. The coast is clear right now and you don't know when or if you'll see Eden alone again. Presently, Eden seems very focused on the camera on the wall. Trying to connect with it, maybe...? Anyway, you tell Eden, I'm going to unlock your cell. Then, you can disable the camera and get out. Eden says, All right.

It's Showtime. --> che il piano abbia inizio.

31. Quickly and subtly, you unlock Eden's cell and walk to the door, waiting for Eden to take care of the camera. You hear an odd crackling sound; the room's lights flicker into darkness and the emergency lights near the floor come on. You reopen the lab door with your keycard. A peek into the hall confirms that power has gone out. It might be overkill, but it's useful overkill. Regular staff will be leaving now. However, with such a suspicious outage (and perhaps suspicious camera footage), it seems like a sure thing they'll be sending in some guards to investigate. Once you've confirmed the coast is clear, you tell Eden, "Let's go." But since you didn't get your phone, you still need to grab one on the way out of this place. Time is of the essence, especially if you alert the guards.

Rush ahead while it looks clear.

Better to be cautious. --> bisogna proseguire con calma per non farsi beccare

32. It's a good thing you held back. A guard just rounded the corner. Get back in, you tell Eden. I'll hide behind that counter and

HOPE he doesn't come in. --> speriamo di farcela.

33. The guard walks into the room. He sees Eden is still in their cell (but hasn't noticed it's unlocked) and hasn't spotted you yet. So, what now? Every option has its risks....

Make a break for it with Eden

Keep hiding --> continuo a mantenere attivo il piano.

Grab that digital scale from off the counter just in case

34. You decide to keep hiding and hope for the best. Then, the guard squints at the green light that shows Eden's cell is unlocked. He reaches for both his keycard and a gun.

Grab the scale

You and Eden RUN --> è arrivato il momento di scappare!

35. Suddenly, you hear a gunshot and a bullet rips right through you. You don't want to look; your hand drifts to chest. When you pull your hand away, you see that it's covered in blood. With your final breaths, you beg for Eden to keep running. You know you won't survive. But maybe Eden can be free.

And that's how it ends.

You received the secret ending:“Sacrifice."

COMMENTO FINALE:

Il finale è negativo, perché Eden è morto, ma non è del tutto negativo perché Eden si è sacrificato per me e quindi sono riuscita a trasmettergli amore e fiducia. Penso che non sarei arrivata ad un finale positivo, perché avrei dovuto voltare le spalle alla creatura e trattarla come ogni essere umano presente, quindi sono contenta delle scelte fatte e di averci provato.
