What to study

Boss dialogue is staged as a confrontation of scales: Megaera's portrait fills the left third of the screen at many times her in-world size, the same figure stands small in the arena behind the box, so the threat is read from her expression and whip before a word is parsed. Her nameplate rides on the dialogue box's top edge as a separate tab (MEGAERA, with her title 'First of the Furies' in orange beneath), the text itself sits on plain parchment in two short lines, and the live chamber stays visible, dimmed, behind both layers instead of cutting to a separate conversation screen. Frame at about 1:01 in the v1.0 Launch Trailer (Steam).
