Save Point

ReMade #2.4

by E.C. Myers

This is the 4th episode in the second season of ReMade, a 14-episode serial from Serial Box Publishing. This episode was written by E. C. Myers.

You live. You love. You die. Now RUN.

Upon entering Sanctuary, the teens are greeted by a young child, the first new person they’ve met in this new world. But Umta seems freaked out by him, and there’s definitely something…off. Is it safe to go deeper into Sanctuary? Or should they forget the whole thing and run for the hills?

One moment proved fateful for a group of teenagers—and not just because it’s the moment they all happened to die. At the moment of their deaths, they were snatched forward into the future and remade in a world they hardly recognize. Now, after facing murderous robots and an unpredictable environment, the teens have begun to find their footing. But can they survive long enough to figure out why they were remade? And will they ever be able to stop running?

DISCLAIMER: Since this review is for the 2nd season of this story, season 1 spoilers will appear. If you intend on reading this, please take heed.

Episode #4 is from Loki’s POV. After finding out in season 1 that he committed suicide due to how terribly he was bullied in school, I felt like he became one of the most compelling characters in ReMade. Knowing how awful things were for him in his previous life, it is even more interesting to see him reinventing himself to be the opposite of who he was before. Sometimes succeeding, and sometimes not. Because let’s face it, you can never completely change who you are and totally erase your base personality traits. Even if you don’t always show them to other people, they are still there.

We get more back story on Loki including playing video games, his relationship with his sister, and it also offers very obvious foreshadowing for what’s going on in this episode.

In this episode, the 2nd group of kids finds Sanctuary, the place they decided to look for at the end of Season 1. Arcadia advised that it was a human stronghold, and if they were to find any other living humans, that’s where they’d find them. Unfortunately, they don’t find any humans. But they do find a fully stocked bunker with everything they could possibly need to survive, and pack with them everything they can to take back to the other group of kids. But, what are they going to do when they find out Sanctuary’s AI has other ideas?

I’m really enjoying the Sanctuary aspect of this season. Their experiences within Sanctuary are sure to be action filled and entertaining. I’ll definitely be looking forward to episode #6, as each episode goes from one group of kids to the other.

This week’s episode focuses on Loki. Loki eps always bring the feels (geez, this season is a heavy hitter already). Loki’s past hits home with the work I do and I could feel his anxiety over potentially revealing his death to the group.

So the description alone this week had me absolutely terrified. A young child who is not what they seem? Yeah, I left this episode ready to unplug all of my Google Homes. I’ll just leave it at that.

This episode is where I wish the story would stay! This group is fun and actually doing things. Not just stuck under Inez's thumb like little children. This episode follows Loki and I really like his character ever since we learned about his back story, I thought he was interesting character and he is just as awesome here. This group actually found t he place they were looking for! Though in true ReMade fashion, it's not quite as easy as you'd think.

I love this series. It always leaves you with more questions than answers and that's kind of, meh, but I love the sci-fi aspect and the characters (Umta is the best!). This chapter was fun to read and captivating. I would recommend it. 4 out of 5 stars.
