Shadows Over Loathing is the official successor to West of Loathing, the beloved comedy RPG that captivated the gaming world back in 2017. Shadows Over Loathing is filled to the brim with humor, adventure, magic, and mayhem, just like its predecessors! If you liked Kingdom of Loathing and West of Loathing, there’s no way you won’t enjoy playing Shadows Over Loathing!
A major component of West of Loathing’s unique humor was the glorifying presence of the spittoons. Spittoons made up a lot of the game’s humor, and provided a nice reprieve from the occasional madness of the rest of the game (wandering through all of those separate storylines could definitely get confusing). In fact, many people bought West of Loathing solely for the saucy spittoon content, so it stands to reason that many people would buy Shadows Over Loathing for the same reason. Keep reading to find out whether or not there are any sordid spittoons in Shadows Over Loathing!
Are There Spittoons in Shadows Over Loathing?
Because Shadows Over Loathing takes place further in the future than West of Loathing, there are many things that this game doesn’t have that West of Loathing did, and unfortunately, one of those things is spittoons. You won’t be able to get your hands on any spittoons in this game, but you can see one on display in one of the game’s speakeasies.
In one of Shadows Over Loathing’s speakeasies, there is a spittoon on display on a wall. If you ask the bartender about it, he’ll tell you it “belonged to a famous adventurer from Frisco, just before the turn of the century”. After this, he’ll tell you that it’s rumored to have belonged to “Mumflr Fumperdink”, which is a reference to Markiplier’s old character in the game, back when he played the game in 2017.
Markiplier, for the few of you that don’t already know, is a famous gaming Youtuber that’s best known in the West of Lathing community for his love of spittoons. Although you won’t be able to interact with this particular spittoon, it’s nice to know that it exists in the game at all, especially since it pays homage to one of the greatest spittoon lovers of all time.
Although many people will probably be incredibly disappointed by the lack of interactable spittoons in Shadows Over Loathing (myself included), you shouldn’t pass on the game simply because there isn’t an ocean of rancid spit content like there was in West of Loathing. There’s more than enough humor in this game without the spittoons, you shouldn’t pass on it simply out of spittoon-related spite!
Shadows Over Loathing is an amazing game, it’s the perfect successor to West of Loathing! It’s got just as much humor, mayhem, and madness as both of its predecessors; if you haven’t played it yet, you’re definitely missing out!
