In today’s video, we dive into the game of Cyberpunk 2077 to discuss Evelyn Parker, a truly tragic character. But Evelyn was so much more than a sad story — indeed, she accomplished far more than anyone, even us, thought she would’ve. Without her, we would not have the story of 2077, or the chance to make ripples of change in the Cyberpunk world.
Today, we explore the life and arc of the joytoy who created a Night City legend in her failed quest for a better life.
I hope you guys enjoy! Please let me know what you think in the comments below. I post once a week, each Tuesday, at 6PM EST.
Thank you for watching!

Great video, love your breakdowns. This detail probably fits in more for Judy but has some implications for Evelyn and Judy’s relationship. On Valeries date with Judy you find an old doll that Judy had stolen from another girl. She says it was cause only losers play with dolls but really it was to get the girl to notice her. I suspect subconsciously Judy had taken Evelyn in to get Maiko’s attention and to show her only losers play with dolls. Not to say Judy doesn’t genuinely care for Evie. But I think they had a non romantic but still intimate relationship.
This might be out of your normal videos but a game called Jak and Dexter
Your videos are really good. I enjoy listening to you and your perspective and analysis on the cyberpunk universe because I love it. I recommend watching WISE fishe's kids on the universe it's history and etc. Make a video on yorinobu, please.
Thanks for all the hard work
I'd also add, how then Dex chose T-bug for the Heist. There are many hints throughout the game as well as in Phantom Liberty: there's a chance T-bug works/worked with Militech. Dex's bodyguard is comfirmed to be an agent for FIA, which begs the question: is Dex also related to any of those factions? Then it would make the Heist even more of a flustercuck.
I feel like people nowadays really need to relearn empathy. There were comments on reddit that said they don't feel sorry for Evelyn's horrendous fate and some even said she deserved it because she tried to screw people over.
Nice to have these Analysis videos…. Miss ya, Lyd, come back to us soon damnit!
love the breakdown! underrated character with a lot of complexity
If this story taught me anything it's that if your on a sinking ship don't try and fix it just run
it unsubbed me from you for some reason
Night City will chew and spit you, then chew you again and eat you.
Night City slowly killed Evelyn's soul long before it took her life.
When you f people over, make sure it isn't people more ruthless than yourself.
I'm gay but ngl you're so Pretty😍
This is why I don't want to pursue the Judy love story, because it was almost hunted at that Judy loved Evelyn. Hell Judy preferred feminine sounding people and the way Judy worried about Evelyn and even blamed herself for getting in an argument with Evelyn before she disappeared, showed that Judy loved Evelyn even if it was one sided.
So to romance Judy is almost like replacing Evelyn, she is trying to find someone to fill in that hole that she lost and V just happened to be there. I mean what if any of them other female Mox helped her out would she still fall for V or would she fall for them.
I'm just saying Judy's and V's relationship is only held together because V helped her find Evelyn and even helped her find the people who killed Evelyn. Not a very stable relationship if I may say so myself.
This was a tough subject to analyse. But you did a great job!
Scavs and the VOODOO of Pacifica, Fingers, Woodman and the Tyger Claws… they almost all get a death sentence or the crippling bullet.
Evelyn was the Catalyst to ARASAKA's demise and given that she sacrificed herself after being willing to sacrifice everything and everybody else before hand…. well just shows how good of a writing team CDPR has ^^
The line does she flinch when a belt is unbuckled is great. I suspect you'll write something excellent one day soon.
Wiping the Doll’s memories sounds humane right up until you realize trauma runs way deeper than just memories.
Evelyn story is so tragic, and I don’t feel bad that I tried to screw over Dex for her lol
Heya! I always loved the missions with Evelyn, but you made me empathise so much more with her and aligned all infos so perfectly..
I can feel the desperation and now I can finally not only be shocked by her death, but 100% empathise why she did all that she did..
"Even if Evelyn had left Clouds by this point, her head was still in them."
Absolute killer of a line that actually applies to the entire heist crew. Evelyn gets that worst hand in the entire game, and it's even more tragic because the criticism that characters aim at her are actually true of the entire group — yet she's the only one they criticize. A lot of characters say that Evelyn's fate was foreseeable for aiming so high and being reckless, but the same is true of V and everyone else. Interestingly, Johnny is uncaring and even cruel when it comes to Evelyn's decision to flatline herself…yet he's way more empathetic if V decides to do it. His character development aside, Evelyn seemingly gets more harshly criticized and penalized for things everyone else does, too.
When you really take a look at the heist, we have V (returning to NC after a long break) teaming up with Dex (a fixer who messed up something so badly in Pacifica that he left for years rather than deal with the fallout) to steal from the largest, most dangerous corpo on the planet. And their team is a guy who is KNOWN for wearing his heart on his sleeve and being a bit hot-headed, a netrunner who is really good but is no Spider Murphy, and a seemingly unimportant doll. From the outside looking in, nobody would bet this heist would work. But while V gets condolences and even some respect for attempting it, Evelyn just gets a cold "she got what she deserved", which creepily mirrors what heartless people say about women who become the victims of predators. "Look at the way she dressed." And I think that's intentional. Evelyn aimed for the stars so she could get out of NC, and she pays a disproportionate penalty for doing so, being taken in and abused by no-name people.
I never thought about it from the viewpoint of Evelyn knowing that Dex could be manipulated, though, or that her last days were spent making sure nobody suffered the fallout for her actions. Those are really good points. **PHANTOM LIBERTY SPOILERS** Whereas V can, and seems to canonically care about people to a fault (to me, it's always seemed that Vik KNOWS V is screwing around helping people on the streets rather than prioritizing the chip), Songbird is the exact opposite. She'll burn every bridge necessary if it means saving herself. **END SPOILERS**
Evelyn has the same drive as Songbird and even the same desperation, creating layers of betrayal, but she has the heart of V and can't actually follow through with those more horrific acts. It feels like NC is determined to objectify and penalize her for daring to dream big while caring about other people. Evelyn's really an example of just how horribly NC can treat you if you aren't cold and ruthless when you dare to dream of a better life, and I think the fact that so many characters seem eager to forget her and move on speaks to who disposable people's lives are in NC. Even if you try to avenge Evelyn, things turn out horribly. The only saving grace is that Judy is able to see what happens if you fail (Evelyn) and what happens if you succeed (V), and realizes that the only way to win is to not play. So she does what Evelyn tried to do and just leaves, even if it means she might not have anything waiting for her outside of NC.
The Queen has brought us another one 🙌
Always personally wondered if Yorinonu WAS entirely aware of the heist. The timing is just too perfect for him, and it goes to the benefit of only him (until V escapes, repeatedly)
At times I resent Evelyn for putting V in the ultimate shit but at the same time I cannot blame her for trying to make the most out of a horrible situation. I wouldn't be surprised if she was simply just trying to make enough dosh to escape the city.
can you do analysis of batman arkham series characters and rdr2 characters
Thanks so much for watching guys! Let me know what characters you’d like to see covered from Cyberpunk. 😄
I remember playing cyberpunk for the first time and spending two days trying to find out if we could save Evelyn. Her story was realistic and that shook me, human trafficking only to be saved and stuck in a constant state of agony with the only escape being death. Evelyn Parker was also the only character I could actually empathize with and enjoy.
Doll Chips don't make a doll forget what's happening to them after the chip only makes it so they know exactly what the customer wants each doll is fully aware of what's happening around them while their chip is active.
What makes Evelyn special is that she also has a BD Rec Implant which allows her to record things, she was smarter than she looked but the VDBs screw everyone over if they're outsiders which was their plan from the jump once Evelyn got them what they wanted.
We also have to remember that the Cyberpunk universe only gives us one side of the world where corps bad but if you read deeper then you'd notice that there's a lot of nuance within it. The surface level of corps bad is just that surface level. I recommend reading the Cyberpunk Red source book for a complete history of the world.
Great video!
I hope we get to see a strimstram soon! I guess yous busy
Great Video! Your channel is amazing! 🌟🌟🌟
