Softball

Summary

Hard skill-check chapter and the consistent bottleneck of the platinum walkthrough. Stan Bush's The Touch plays — the same 80s anthem Optimus Prime hums in the 1986 Transformers movie, and a sister song to Stan Bush's Dare that returns in Chapter 23. The chapter opens with a brief Stacy-pitching segment for tutorialization, then control swaps to Cassandra at the bat. And It's Out of Here requires 7 home runs in a row as Cassandra — completionist forums consistently rank this as the single hardest achievement in the game, and the narrator explicitly recommends bumping look-sensitivity to 5-6 in the settings menu BEFORE the chapter starts. The pitcher gives roughly 0.5 seconds of windup tell before each throw; the home-run swing window is at the apex of the throw arc, not at release. Miss-cycle the chapter and you'll need a fresh run-through via Chapter Select to retry. Chapter ends after the 7th hit (achievement) or after a missed cycle.
