On today's TWO HOUR EVALUDATE SPECIAL, we're getting into the real-world history of witch hunting and witch trials around Europe and North America, Madelyn insists that everyone else insisting that she would like Tyril is still wrong, and being a murder suspect is boring now--it's time to get deputized.

Corrections, Notes, and Sources: 

Air misspoke when saying Pope John XXII’s declaration of witchcraft as heresy in 1320 took the form of a papal bull. Though the pope eventually described witchcraft and announced that anyone who engaged with it would be excommunicated in his 1336 papal bull Super illius specula, his initial 1320 judgment was outlined in Cardinal William of Santa Sabina’s “Letter of 22 August 1320, to Inquisitors of Carcassone and Toulouse”

In the episode, Air stated that Matthew Hopkins charged around £20 per town, in reference to how much he was reported to have charged the town of Stowmarket in A.G. Hollingsworth’s History of Stowmarket (1844). According to the records, he charged £23 plus traveling expenses. Hopkins himself, however,  stated that he only took “twenty shillings a town” (A History of Witchcraft In England from 1558 to 1718)

Content Warnings:

The Auld Lang Syne segment of this episode discusses rape and incest to an extent that it may be advisable to skip the section if either subject is triggering to you. We have time-stamped specific mentions, but the story we are discussing deeply involves these subjects and so the majority of the discussion revolves around this.

• Incest: 48:59 - 49:06, 56:05 - 56:17, 59:34 - 59:56, 1:03:34 - 1:03:42, 1:08:38 - 1:08:52, 1:11:24 - 1:12:50
• Rape: 56:05 - 56:52, 58:00 - 58:11, 59:34 - 1:00:12, 1:06:41 - 1:07:15, 1:09:02 - 1:09:33, 1:17:07 - 1:17:21

Today on Evaludate: the game walks back any competence it has ever implied for any of its lead characters, the maddest we have ever been at a player character, and gratuitous bad endings.

Today on Evaludate: you know who's Really hurt by the oppression of immigrants? This old-money white American lawyer. Adam continues to steal Limbo's route, and Bustafellows decides their narrative space is better spent on an Inspirational Terminal Child than building any chemistry between its leads.
