Well here’s our opportunity to get to know who’s behind all this(istg if it’s boogiefied you). We know they’re the boss, so let’s ask them why they’re kidnapping people.

Meow wow, this could be tricky

wait i know who's in the shadows!

Who?

if you look at the head of the shadowy figure, you'll know there's only one creature with ears like that

I really like how this scene looks! Dunno what exactly about it. Maybe the composition?

Must be the amount of sparkles surrounding the room.

Usually I'm first in line for pretty lights but nah the whole scene just looks great with the contrast etc

We are going to ask him if he is the boss, because surely that is only saying a few words

Nice butt shot.

Heavy regret of choices? Check.
Imposing villain in shadows? Check.
Underwear and britches having a new yellow-and-brown coloration? Check.
Yep, this is the part where it all goes down the gutter.
Frankly, I'm on the side of questioning our audience's motives, rather than their identity. They're already nearly unidentifiable definitively from their silhouette alone, and I doubt shedding any light on that (metaphorical or literal) will help us out here.
Learning their motives, however, would be very beneficial to us. Remember: our secondary objective was to gather intel, and with someone who's showing us some goddamn respect, that should be a breeze.
Wait... Jake from Hotline Miami 2 said that... THIS REALLY IS HOTLINE MIAMI!!!
Jokes about Jake's infamous "show some goddamn respect!" line aside, I do believe that our adversary's motives are of more importance to us than their identity. Besides, there's that cable running across the floor. If they try to get us after pulling the classic villain trope of "you know too much, now die!" on us, we can probably beat them to the elevator, and they probably won't pursue us into it if they are in fact tethered to it (which it appears they might).
Vote B. The sooner we have intel, the sooner we can get out and grab a new pair of pants.

You were right on the button on the last part about finding someone to squeeze information out of. And something tells me you've been playing hotline miami a bit.

It’s only listed as one of my favorite games on my profile.
FTL: Faster Than Light and Brigador are also amazing games.

All great choices.

But yeah, our main goal is to gather intel. Not only the sooner we get that the sooner we get new pants, but also out of this dungeon.

cool design, I thought this mystery presence would be bigger, but I guess the immense power could be of a more psionic/energy based nature. I am concerned about those particulates in the air though; I did bring up that possibility before even seeing this room, and it's kind of alarming to see some analogue to that even if it turns out they're just something like stray plasma bleeding off their halo or whatever (I can't say with certainty just by seeing a frame frozen in time, but they almost seem to be homing in which makes it even more alarming than if they were just passively floating and were potentially just randomly settling on cass and slowly dealing "damage" over time).

You're right you were speculating something of this nature. Might be wise to remain alert.

This was a mistake but we are committed, let's go with B keep them talking and potentially give us a shot in hell at beating them.

option C. where is the exit

holy crap he's a god of destructions attendant
