I was reminded of LISA whoops. It's a really nice game if you don't already know about it.

While looking for Buddy's sprites I found out there has been a sequel out for quite a while focusing on her??? How was I not aware of this.

I hate savescumming, I like to live with the consequences of my actions, but I swear to god Every time I was up against an enemy that could perma-kill your party members they would kill Birdie. And every time I had to admit that nope, like hell I'd go through the rest of the game without that sick oil debuff. He just up and left while I was sleeping a couple of times too. Birdie, it's almost like you don't even want to contribute to the team.
