While the footage is well-crafted modifications of Majora's Mask content, it heavily leans on the source material for much of its terror, from the haunting Elegy of Emptiness statue to an inescapable assault by Skull Kid, who repeatedly dispatches and revives the player in much the way that the world itself faces constant, repeating obliteration.

Caleb Cain, Roose's subject, illustrates the first argument, to the extent that he seems like a character from the pages of Charles Murray's "Coming Apart" or Tim Carney's "Alienated America" or J.D.
