  Writing this up about a week or so after I played it, so I may forget what the hell I was doing in a few of these. Oh well! Anyway, for this batch of loops I figured I'd decrease the number of people to streamline things a bit and make these loops go quicker. So this one is ten people, two Gnosia, no Guard Duty or Bug. Also Cassidy is the Doctor this time since we've only done it like once so far.   Music: Suspicion   Well, we're off to a great start.  Our Engineer claims are Jonas, Chipie, and Gina. Gina's lying here, so she's either Gnosia or the AC Follower.  Of course, if we're able to catch Gina's lie, Comet is also gonna catch it.  On the bright side, we're unopposed for Doctor, so we're in the clear.  Jonas and Remnan are able to catch Gina's lie and take her down.   Well, then. Jonas could very well have been AC Follower, but at least we caught one of the Gnosia!  Chipie's the only Engineer left, and he says Setsu is clear. Chipie's either the true Engineer or the AC and thus has no clue about Setsu, so if nothing else, Setsu is probably fine. Music: Enjoying My Routine  Also it takes until Round 3 for Stella to state the obvious and that Cassidy is Definite Human.  There's some focus on Chipie, and he gets frozen. I think that's a bad move since the AC Follower can't do anything, even if Chipie is one, and the second Gnosia is going to be someone without a claim, so it's better to leave Chipie alive (especially if he is the true Engineer) and just ice random people until we nail the Gnosia. Then again I voted Chipie so as usual, I'm basically yelling at myself over my own poor gameplay.  We collab'd with SQ by the way, so now she wants to talk to us. Music: Enjoying My Routine    You replied that yes, you'd like to go all the way.  I was just like, kidding...? I didn't think you were totally gonna be like, all over me like that.SQ likes to be overly-flirtatious to throw people off-guard, but she has trouble handling it when it's thrown right back at her.   You replied that you trust her.LPer's note: I don't trust her.  If I get into trouble, I'm gonna like, call you. Don't like, leave me hanging, OK? So, if you like, get into trouble, call me, OK? I'll totally help you out! But if it looks like you're totally screwed, you're like, on your own! Like, OK!   This lets you ask someone to help you if you're being targeted, and usually they'll stick their neck out for you. I have no clue how effective it is, especially with the high stat requirement, but it's probably gonna be most effective from your friends and collaborators. They'll probably protect you from everything except if you're Definite Enemy or something (and even then someone like Kukrushka will still defend you).  We lose Stella (which makes sense, since it'd be dumb for a Gnosia to out a Definite Human so Stella would've likely been human, and there's a strong chance Cassidy is protected by the Angel if they're still alive), and unsurprisingly Chipie was Human. I mean, if the second Gnosia is iced, the game will end, so of course every one of Cassidy's reports will be "this character was human", so I'm gonna skip them.   Skipping ahead a bit, there's a bit of suspicion flying all over, of note toward Setsu, Comet, and Shigemichi, but it's that last fellow that gets iced.   Shigemichi was not the Gnosia, and we lose Comet as well. At this point, we're down to four people: Cassidy, Setsu, SQ, and Remnan.  I feel Remnan is the most likely suspect of those left, so that's who Cassidy targets.  SQ, meanwhile, opts to go after Setsu.   Remnan and Setsu think it's SQ, so they take advantage of the split vote to out SQ.  Turns out, that was the correct move. Just like sometimes you can play as best as you can and still lose, sometimes you play like a loving idiot and still stumble backwards into a win. That's social deduction games for ya! Music: Shooting Stars Go Away   You asked what Setsu meant by "Kukrushka incident."  Ah... I see what's happening. The "Cassidy" in this loop hasn't had that experience yet. So Cassidy, for you, this is... loop number 25? I'm actually on my 61st loop. And the "Cassidy" I'll meet in my 62nd loop could be totally different... For example, it could be the "Cassidy" of the second loop. Oh by the way, here's a piece of advice. It's best to try experimenting with different settings in Setup. Apparently that makes special conditions more likely to occur. Your own role is especially important. It's best to try out the roles of Gnosia and Bug, not just Human. Special conditions mean a higher possibility of getting crucial info. The sort of info that's hard to get by simply going through the loops lazily and just sort of letting them happen. Alright, take good care of the next "me", OK? Hehe, what a weird way to say goodbye, huh?  So that's a bit of a twist, huh? Setsu and Cassidy are looping in different orders, so we may have points where Cassidy knows more than Setsu, especially the more that Cassidy loops. As for the other thing, we'll address that in a moment.    First, the results. Chipie was the actual Engineer, and Remnan caught SQ lying during the last day, which made the difference in that loop. Music: The Silver Key   Once you and Setsu get through a loop together after all the tutorial stuff (assumingly on the same team) you then unlock Event Search. This will automatically pick settings that are conducive towards triggering events. Note this doesn't mean it guarantees events, just makes them more likely. I also think if you change even one setting then whatever special criteria may boost the chances of events may go away, but I don't know for sure. You can spam X to set up a bunch of different set-ups until you find one with a role you like (Guardian Angel is useful for events where you want to keep people alive, for instance, and some require being a Gnosia or Bug), so it's still not hard to go towards a particular event if you know how to trigger it.  For this one, we remove the Engineer role and become Gnosia with Sha-Ming.  Music: Suspicion   We take people outta this lovely universe and send them to Heaven! Right?!Sure, why not.  Glad Sha-Ming and Cassidy are in agreement for once.  Things start off on Gina and Stella, who are generally pretty easy targets in the beginning.  And our Doctor claims are Gina and Setsu. Of course, one is the AC Follower, but which one is which...?  Stella's an easy freeze overall. Music: Enjoying My Routine   Well, I don't have many other options, I guess. You'll do for now. Hahaha. Oh Raqio, you poor fool.  Heh heh, sure.  You know my Gnosia priorities at this point. Comet and Yuriko are always the biggest threats, and Yuriko's not here... Music: Suspicion  Reports: Setsu (H.E) - Stella was Human. Gina (AC.E) - Stella was Gnosia. Well, at least we know who the AC Follower is! While Gina would make an easy target, it's nice to reward the AC Followers for maintaining their faith in the true Gnosia cause.   Naturally, Setsu is the target at the start.  You joined in, talking about food. Good, huh? I love me some good ol' food! Let's have LeVi order us up some munchies! I want an omelette! Of course.  Raqio naturally gets suspicion because Raqio, but we're allies with them. Even if we're on opposite sides, if Raqio's dumb enough to trust Cassidy, Cassidy is dumb enough to defend Raqio!  A three-way vote, huh.   The "good" news is we defended Raqio, though that also means it's now down to Setsu and Sha-Ming. One would be great, the other would be bad for us...  So naturally, it's Sha-Ming who goes to the fridge.  I go for Chipie for...reasons, I guess. Chipie's a solid all-rounder, I guess that was my logic for killing him? It's been a week, so I don't remember.  Reports: Setsu (H.E) - Sha-Ming was Gnosia Gina (AC.E) - Sha-Ming was Human Gina's doing her job so far. If we can get the doubt on Setsu, we'll have a good chance.  A few accusations fly around, as usual, but once again it's Setsu and our Loop BFF Raqio who are targeted.  ...And it ends again at a tie.  After a failed "No Freeze" attempt, Cassidy argues to Sleep Everyone, which passes 3-1 (pro: Cassidy, Gina, Kukrushka, anti: Shigemichi). Raqio served their purpose admirably.  It doesn't matter at this point. As long as Gina is alive and realizes I'm the Gnosia, I win. I probably eliminated Kukrushka because Shigemichi's too obvious to be Gnosia, and Kukrushka's unwavering loyalty could complicate things compared to Shigemichi's simple-mindedness.  Gina says she doesn't relish lying, but just look at her face. She knows she's got this won.   I'm not one to screw the AC Follower over. You help me, I help you. Gina definitely fought to help the Gnosia, so it's only fair she gets to experience the win with me.  That said, I'm upset there's no special ending for this one. Just thrown straight to the results screen.  Poor Shigemichi, found out way too late...  We're back to Gnosia, and this time we've got two allies but no AC Follower. The only roles are Engineer and Guardian Angel. Setsu and Chipie are solid Gnosia allies to have, at least. They aren't exciting, but they're both middle-of-the-road and competent enough to be solid allies.   Uhhhhh... Music: Enjoying My Routine   I guess there aren't many folks like me though, eh? It's not like I look all weird like this because I want to, anyway. But, well, haha. Before I was able to become a cat, I became Gnosia. So a lot of you noticed that there's something...off with Chipie's cat. And yeah, we're finally addressing this.   We'll learn more later, but Chipie and the cat are actually fused together, as part of this "felinification" process. So no, the cat is not the actual Chipie controlling a host body, Chipie is himself. Or rather, was himself, until he became Gnosia. Music: Suspicion  Engineer claims are Chipie and Otome.  Remnan gets some attention, but he ends up splitting with Setsu.   Luckily we're persuasive enough to keep Setsu around for now, but if they're already getting this much attention, that's not a good sign.  There's several Chipie cutscenes this loop. Let's check in with him! Music: In the Unknown Ship  Huh? Are you maybe misunderstanding? We're not hunting humans. And while we slowly work our way through, the humans hunt us. Haha, calling us enemies of humanity. We're nothing special, really. Chipie raises a point, in that life's just not fair for the poor Gnosia like us. We should fix that.  In further proof that life is unfair, the Guardian Angel blocks us from taking out Comet.  Reports: Otome (H.E) - Sha-Ming is Human. Chipie (G.E) - SQ is Human.  He probably could.   I mean, it's SQ. She's probably planning the same thing, even if she is human. Hell, especially if she's human.   Anyway, the story here is people really don't trust Setsu, but there's just barely always a bigger fish to fry, in this case Shigemichi. Music: In the Unknown Ship  Haha, there's about a 50-50 chance of it working. Good thing I was able to hook up with SQ. You know, I wouldn't. Especially not to SQ.   Anyway, we can finally Collaborate ourselves. This has its uses, but it's another skill I rarely used myself, since I'd just wait for people to ally with me instead. Oh yeah, we take Kukrushka out. I didn't screenshot it, so you'll have to trust me on this. Or don't, this is Gnosia after all!  Reports: Otome (H.E) - Comet is Human. Chipie (G.E) - Cassidy is Human. I don't know if I like Chipie checking us, as this could easily backfire.    Despite Cassidy trying to start something on Gina, Setsu is finally taken out. They could only stay alive for so long...  We're out of Chipie cutscenes, so let's skip to us taking out Sha-Ming.  Reports: Chipie (G.E) - Gina is Gnosia. Otome (H.E) - Gina is Human. So we're probably gonna get a showdown between the Engineer claims now that the obvious target in Setsu is gone.  Naturally, Gina decides to go after Chipie.   Yes, I'm... human. *Squeak*... Can... can I call myself "human"? Well, I'm certainly not Gnosia, at least. You asserted that you really are human. Chipie would rather not risk getting caught in a lie, and SQ does whatever she wants. Of course, that just puts more suspicion on Chipie...   Voting luck breaks down against us, as all it takes is Gina and Otome voting together to take out Chipie, with everyone else just going with whoever.   Otome at least doesn't seem to hold any ill will against us targeted her the previous night.  Finally.  ...Welp.  I think this is because there's only four people left in Cassidy, Gina, SQ, and Otome. If Gina was Gnosia, then Otome would also be Gnosia since Chipie would've been the real Engineer. This would've ended the game, therefore Gina is Human. This also proves Otome is the true Engineer, and thus proves Cassidy is Gnosia.    So yeah, things just kinda fell apart due to logic. Ah well, it happens.  Gina was the Guardian Angel, and interestingly there were no lies caught at all the entire game. People just really didn't like Setsu. The game really fell apart for the Gnosia during the vote where Chipie got iced, but there wasn't any real gently caress-ups there. Everyone just voted on their own, and it worked out for the humans. Cassidy also would've been smart to take out Otome, but it would've just proven Otome as the real Engineer and clear Gina anyway, and while it'd have been easier to argue against Gina, SQ, and Comet, it's still more than likely Cassidy would've been iced. Ah well, can't feel too bad about that one.  Anyway, I think the universe is overdue on being destroyed.  Music: Suspicion   Engineer claims are Cassidy, Sha-Ming, and Setsu.   Comet's always an easy first kill.  Just because we're enemies this loop doesn't mean we're still not friends. Let's check in with Setsu. Music: In the Unknown Ship  By the way, Cassidy. You aren't currently collaborating with anyone, are you? I can only speak from my own experience, but... Forming cooperative relationships can be helpful for gathering info. People like SQ in particular, who are somewhat two-faced. In a previous loop, I was finally... Music: Enjoying My Routine  Oh, uh... OMG, what were you like, talking about? We were just talking about how, um... We want to know everything there is to know about you.  Ehehe, weeeelllll... I could like, let you in on a few things, maybe...  Oh, SQ.  Too dirty to live.  Reports: Cassidy (B.E) - SQ was Human Setsu (?.E) - Kukrushka is Human Sha-Ming (?.E) - SQ was Human Well, that's good info. SQ is definitely human since she got killed, so right now it seems like Sha-Ming is probably the real Engineer.    Anyway it doesn't matter because everyone randomly decides to ice Cassidy. Welp!  Amusingly, the two to lead the charge against Cassidy, Stella and Jonas, were also the two Gnosia. Sha-Ming was the AC Follower.  We didn't even get busted for lying, we were just an easy scapegoat. The Gnosia knew the Engineer claims were the Bug, AC Follower, and the true Engineer, so it makes sense to go after the claims to take out two of their biggest foes. It just works out for them that they correctly picked the Bug. Oh well! Next time, as usual, I have no idea what will happen. I guess we'll find out together!

Ah, we finally got the reveal of what Chipie's deal is! Kinda feel bad for him as a gnosia there. He had this whole big thing in mind for how he wanted his life to play out, then Gnos took him and was all "nah, you're not a human or a cat now. Get killing" Mega64 posted:
Incidentally, the way Cassidy and Setsu are looping in different orders is a knock against the simulation theory. There must be some sort of actual time fuckery for this to occur. Can't wait to see The Kukrushka Incident...

That's now three events I've heard of I really want to see (the third one being an as-yet-unmentioned spoiler). Drat this game not being available on Steam yet. Also that... well, it's confirmed that Chipie-cat both has an insanely long neck and that it's tunneled through Chipie's human neck. Not really sure how that's supposed to work for felinification and what the end result is supposed to look like though.

Drat this game not being available on Steam yet. if I had to guess (and I'm genuinely not sure on this part) it's a matter of connecting Chipie's nervous system to that of the cat's as an intermediary step, and then they do a full transfer later... Or they would, but gnosia.

I posted this in the Games thread, but I can finally say it here now: I feel like Chipie's character design was the result of a drawing of a guy with a cat around his neck, but with poor understanding of anatomy. Like, "It looks like the cat is going through his neck... wait a minute, that gives me an idea!"

There is a streamer I follow who goes by ChilledChaos. Right now he has been playing Among Us Town of Salem mod for the last few months, which duplicates a lot of the roles we see here. What I find really interesting is how the conversations Gnosia crew and Chaos's crew mirror each other. I think Gnosia did an excellent job creating personalities and realistic conversation between people in this game, especially since the language is originally in Japanese.

I've mentioned this in the Gnosia game I've run, but they did such a good job: I've constantly gone "Oh this and this person is totally a Jonas" or "This and this is totally a Shigemichi" and so on. It's great.

  New loop, same old story. We roll Gnosia with SQ and Comet, everything but Guard Duty.  Music: This is a Lie  Oh yeah. You can go ahead and like, decide who we eliminate. I kinda want you to like, not kill Remnan, though. ...?    Hard to imagine hedonistic SQ and quiet Remnan doing anything together, but apparently they knew each other in the past somehow. Of course, we'll have to wait for more info later. Music: Suspicion  What's wrong, Remnan? You look terrified. Well, I mean... you're always terrified of something, aren't you? So yeah, never mind. Huh? What...?! Yes, please... d-don't... mind me...! I just sort of... had a bad feeling... Whatever it was, though, it probably wasn't good.  Engineer claims are Otome, Sha-Ming, and Kukrushka. Note that none of them are Gnosia, so the Bug and AC Follower are involved. Perfect.  Remnan and Cassidy are pro-Raqio. My Gnosia playstyle has become hardcore supporting a human so I look active without getting caught in lies.  Though I'm more willing to stick my neck out now that Performance is getting higher.   Comet ends up getting iced without any real focus on her. Kind of a loss, but Comet's usually not going to last very long as Gnosia anyway.  Anyway, time for another event! This one has Otome, Remnan, and Sha-Ming. Music: Enjoying My Routine  Oh... I see... Lucky you! Why not just keep running? No, everyone must be really worried. I want to hurry up and get back to the laboratory. Music: This is a Lie  I disagree. Dr. Yoshikado is so nice. He always pets my head.  Please... stop it! Why must you... Hah, I know what's up. Dudes with power are always quick to kick the little guy to the curb. Intelligent or not, animals is animals. Do you let 'em live, or kill 'em? It all depends on how the researchers happen to feel that day. ...  Calm down, man. Take it easy, OK? Anyways, see ya tomorrow, if you're still alive.And on that classy note, Sha-Ming leaves.  Music: A Ray of Hope  Even with what he's saying, his voice is kind. I can tell, Sha-Ming is actually a good person. I'm sure of it.So was Sha-Ming just saying dickish things because he actually wants the best for Otome? Or is he just a dick? Maybe both!    Anyway, we learn Otome has a crush on her researcher, and that Sha-Ming really hates authority.  Oh boy! I opt to kill Kukrushka since the Engineer claims are freebies, with a 1/3 chance to kill the true Engineer and a 1/3 chance to find the Bug, barring Guardian Angel shenanigans.  The Gnosia really luck out, as the true Engineer rooted out the Bug! So Otome was the Bug, and whether Kukrushka was the Engineer or AC Follower will depend on who Sha-Ming investigated...  ...which makes it likely Sha-Ming is the true Engineer, though he could also be a very lucky AC Follower!  SQ and Remnan are the Doctor claims. Remnan must be the true Doctor since the other roles have claimed.  Weirdly, everyone starts suspecting Sha-Ming to be an enemy, probably because two other Engineer claims died, and it's unlikely we'd have three Engineer claims with none of them being Gnosia. Unlikely, but of course, not impossible.  Recently, I feel as though someone is watching me in the shower. It's more creepy than scary, really. You guys ever heard of the face pox? Tiny faces, popping up all over you. It's a real thing, seriously. I got them on my belly. I'll show ya if you wanna see... Have you ever heard... singing on this ship? I sometimes hear it... from the empty cargo bay...Anyway, after all that...   ...Sha-Ming is eliminated. Success, no more Engineers!  Stella wants to team up with trustworthy ol' Cassidy. Sure, why not.  It's not like Setsu was doing much of note this loop anyway, and they can be a threat at times.  Reports: Remnan (H.D) - Sha-Ming was Human. SQ (G.D) - Sha-Ming was Gnosia.   Nice try.  At this point, it doesn't matter. We take out Chipie, and...  An easy victory. Music: Shooting Stars Go Away    Pretty much as suspected, Sha-Ming was the Engineer and Kukrushka the AC Follower. Otherwise, the Guardian Angel was Chipie.  The only lie spotted.  It might have been a good sign that Kukrushka was killed, as she might have raised suspicion on Cassidy, depending on her report.  Also, the notes will point out when someone is "likely" an enemy. Of course, the funny thing about probability is that unlikely events can and will happen, as we experienced here.  A nearly-full crew, but no Guardian Angel to protect us, so it's a lot riskier to out ourselves as Engineer.  Anyway, this loop starts off on a very serious note... Music: Suspicion  Hmph... Gina. You heard LeVi's announcement, didn't you? Why were you late?  Miso soup and dried sardines. Heey hey hey, hold up. That's just kinda stupid, man. It's the most random and fluffiest of any of these conversations, and I love it.   Especially since this is apparently an important trait to learn about Gina. Of course, it never comes up again.  I guess Comet doesn't like Japanese food...?  The whole first day is an intense battle over the merits of Japanese cuisine. Many lengthy arguments occur. Truly the greatest battle of words we've seen in this game yet.  In the end, while nobody could agree where Japanese food ranks among the numerous types of Earth cuisines, a majority did agree that Shigemichi is suss as gently caress and should be thrown in the freezer.  I don't think I'll ever use this, but it gets me closer to unlocking Definite Human/Enemy.  We lose Stella in the meantime, as the Gnosia were upset by her trying to derail Food Chat.  Kukrushka is human, of course. There's nothing evil about borscht.  Though Raqio got much ire due to spending the entire debate expousing the virtues of Soylent, in the end everyone got sick of Remnan's waffling over what to eat next. Seriously, Remnan, we know you don't care what we eat, but loving choose something!  At this point, even the Gnosia have had enough of Gina's constant admiration of Japanese food and shut her up, permanently.  Naturally, Jonas has a refined palate, so he must be fine.  The Great Food Debates continued, and people found themselves sick of hearing from both Setsu and Raqio's bland opinions on food.  I'm not exaggerating, it was a tough choice on choosing only one to freeze...  Which is why both Setsu and Raqio were frozen, by unanimous vote. Cassidy suggested it, and Sha-Ming, Kukrushka, Otome, Yuriko, Comet, Jonas, and Chipie all agreed. It's impressive, anyway.  I'm out of good lines about people arguing about food so pretend Cassidy got so sick of it they just jumped out the airlock themselves and decided to just jump right to another loop.  Turns out icing both Setsu and Raqio was a good move.  The main issue is we've pretty much seen most of what there is to see with these debates, so that means game recaps will get briefer and briefer. That's fine, though, as that will speed up the pace of the actual LP (theoretically, anyway, if the drat LPer would update more...) and put more focus on the events of the game. That's kind of the twist, at first the game is all about the actual Mafia-esque gameplay, slowly expanding that outward, but eventually it grows into trying to learn as much as you can about your fellow cast, to the point where you may play sub-optimally for your side just to advance the story.  This is a weird one. Full crew, two Gnosia and an AC Follower, with the only other role being the Engineer. Things are gonna be a bit risky here...   With no Guardian Angel, nobody requests claims, and I'm certainly not going to stick my neck out when I'm an easy target for the Gnosia. So it's just more randomness, resulting in the usual easy targets getting attention. In this case, Comet gets iced.  We lose Gina.  The Engineer gets asked to reveal, so Cassidy does. This also results in Raqio revealing themselves as scum, at least to us. Anyway, nothing exciting from the investigations. Cassidy (H.E) - Remnan is Human. Raqio (E.E) - Kukrushka is Human.  Anyway, Setsu gets iced for reasons. Yep.  Anyway, it's time to hang out with Stella and Shigemichi. Music: In the Unknown Ship  Yes... indeed. You ask what "cyberized" means. Hm...? Cassidy, you don't know cyberization? That's pretty rare these days. Those undergoing cyberization can preserve their consciousness online almost for eternity. In exchange, however, the physical body must be given up. Yeah, so if you get cyberized, you can play video games forever! Nothing with motion controls, but still. Huh? Cyberization merely preserves the consciousness. Unless you are recalculated and reconstructed on a network, you would not be able to actually think nor act. And recalculation costs an extremely large amount of money... To be able to play video games forever, you would require quite a substantial fortune... For real? drat, that... that sucks. Well, uh, actually... A long time ago, I received this message. You pointed out that that is clearly just a scam.   Shigemichi... It's a good thing you didn't undergo cyberization. Huh? Really?  Alright then, I'll be off now.And after Stella leaves...   Ummmmmm   So yep. Shigemichi's now in love with Stella since she was too nice to outright laugh at Shigemichi's face at his weird story. Sure, why not.  In case you were wondering how far Shigemichi's love can take you...not very.  Reports: Cassidy (H.E) - Kukrushka is Human. Raqio (E.E) - Otome is Human. Since we revealed on Day 2 and there's an AC Follower, that doesn't mean Kukrushka is Definite Human.    I'm gonna guess the latter. Jonas did put some heat on us, but calmer minds prevailed, at least for today.  Devious move by the Gnosia. Now Cassidy's gonna really be suspicious.  At least we got a Gnosia, but probably too little, too late...  Yeah. You'd think the other crew members would stop relying just on probability with their actions, especially since it's now screwed them over twice in three loops.  SQ and Jonas were the Gnosia. They played that game well, considering.   Honestly, this one doesn't matter.  Cassidy gets iced on Day 2 just because, well, gotta ice someone, I guess!  Yeah, why not. I'll probably start doing more loops and focusing less on the games (or at least the games where Cassidy goes out early or nothing exciting happens) and more on the events in between, but of course who knows what's next in store for us. See you next time!

Cyberization eh? More evidence for the "we are all AI" theory. Also Remnan and SQ knowing each other from long ago.... SQ is a bit of a sadist.

Having those first two lines come right after each other is just delightful. There's nothing wrong with miso soup, Comet! Broaden your horizons! Personally, I think skipping the bulk of the games is fine from now unless something interesting happens. The structure of this game is really interesting, but it does mean you end up with a lot of repeated content. Especially if you're bad at the game, like me.

SQ reveals she's possibly a creeper on top of being a douche. She's 5 years older than him and "long ago" being as little as 5 years would put him as getting to know her when he was 14 and she was 19. Extend to 10 years and it maybe becomes slightly more innocent in a little brother sense of him being 9 and her being 14 but too much longer than that and it very quickly becomes weird again. Also even if this is the 10 year mark, that comment is kinda gross considering. Otome on the other hand continues to be great. I'm inclined to think it's a more charitable take than Sha-Ming deserves for being such a douche to her over liking her handler, but it's also really kind of her to interpret it this way.

Yeah outside of some challenge runs, seems like we saw most of what the game has to offer gameplay wise. At this point seems like the events are the main attraction now.

Thanks for the heads up! I'll aim to get an update up either this or next weekend. In this one we'll get to learn one character's tragic backstory!

I finally sat down to play a bit. I did 10 or so loop and so far my win record is better than Mega's in the same timeframe.  Although a couple of those were because the Gnosia got extremely stupid.Like, 2 claims for Engineer this first day and one of them gets night killed.  Hmmmm I dunno you guys but the remaining Engineer looks suss as hell to me, what do you guys think?Easy cold sleep. Dumbasses.

This has really become one of those games like Sekiro, where the LP makes me want to play it, even though I'm completely certain that I'd be garbage at it.

To be fair, while there's always a human claim for engineer, if the other engineer claim is AC or Bug, it's not actually a bad idea for the Gnosia to kill one, as the other isn't one of them, and if they're really lucky, they just iced the bug.

It’s a visual novel game, the only real difficulty is trying to obtain events that rely on RNG pairing. There was a point where I just immediately sabotage myself to get the run over so I can start a new one and hope the event I want happens.

I am bumping this thread in honor of Gnosia finally arriving on Steam! $25 is not bad either.

The Bug can't be night killed, though. Trying to kill them could potentially tell you whether they were the Bug, but depending on which roles are in the game, that could be indistinguishable from the Guardian Angel protecting the real Engineer.
