Telltale Games

Game is done, and I'm used to there being red herrings, but...

There's a snake on a train, and it really bugs me! Did anyone find out how to do anything more than look at it?

Apparently it was going to be used in a puzzle that was cut from the game.

Ah, thanks. It definitely felt very puzzley.

I don't see why it can't be there just because.
It is the mole girl's pet snake, as we learn in the tomb.
The girl mole is on the train moving to America

Why wuldnt she take her pet?

It was something about how to get the milk. A longer, more convoluted puzzle that was eventually just exchanged with "max becomes a cow". One of the telltale guys said exactly what on here a while back, but cannot find it.

You can guess the rest. I don't really blame Steve Purcell for nixing this.

We initially replaced the puzzle with a much more convoluted one involving spiked milk. Snowcone's reference to "jolly juice" in little arctic circle, and Spot the Snake's appearance on the train, are both vestigial remains of this other cut puzzle. It was nice, but it would have made the sequence a little unwieldy.

Eventually we hit upon the happy compromise of turning Max temporarily into a cow, and the rest is history.

And everyone rejoices we basically bugged Andy a very long (and annoying) time before ep. 2 was released to tell us that

I've had it up to here with these motherfu.... sorry, someone had to.

The snake threw me off for awhile. I figured I had to milk it's venom to spike the glass o' milk.
