If you're feeling curious, search "Fofão". Seriously, don't. Brazilian mascots are the stuff of nightmares, and we loved them for it.

EDIT: That was a fast one, I guess you guys really like how weird Garibaldo is. He was on black-and-white tv! Also I do reviews for a hobby (just a hobby), if you wanna check it out, its https://hypeimmune.wordpress.com/

Try to do this to our cockatiel and there will be blood. Your blood, not hers.

Garibaldo looks like he'll pop out of a dark alley and ask kids if they want to try some drugs.

And the ones he can't sell he probably eats....

OK, the wiki article on Fofão says he was intended to be ugly, being partially inspired by ET, which...sort of answers the 'what were they thinking?' question...?

Yes, the doc “The World According to Sesame Street” covers the iterations well

I searched, I saw, I desperately long for several moments ago when I was carefree and unaware of this newest horror quietly, slowly, aimless and yet deliberate, shuffling its dirty feet through the dusty, forgotten corridors of my mind, places no one goes anymore. Just slowly plodding on its dirty feet, ol' Fofao.

I've played and completed it. I do like the Resident Evil/Silent Hill gameplay with a Sesame Street / Muppets skin. And you are right, compared to say FINAF or Bendy and the ink machine, it's practically nothing but rainbows and sunshine.

Yes but also the good ending is very wholesome.

"After years of failing to integrate into society, subject to rejection, fear, and slander, Garibaldi fell into mental illness, turning to drugs and soon found himself on the streets. One street fight turned bad, would lead Garibaldi to commit a string of murders that would leave authorities horrified for years to come. This, and more, on tonight's HARD COPY"

Man, sometimes I can't believe that Hard Copy actually existed. And then I'll see a rare reference to it in the wild, and I am glad I'm not the only one who remembers it.
