That final puzzle not even doing anything to change the plot is the biggest dick move.

Y'know, I have to wonder if Shin/Sou's odds of survival were 0% because any time he thinks he's in danger, he turns into a compulsorily-lying chronic backstabber.

Shin is not Sou no matter how he tried to be. Might not be bad to lose Keiji for the next part of the game. Take away Sarah's safety net.

There’s another game in a similar vein that I recommended to Hydro as a filler LP, but if they decide not to, I’ll start shouting its praises from the rooftop. (I’d LP it myself, but it’s a text heavy game and I already have two LPs going.)

Definitely play through the game before you decide. (Unless you’re doing a blind video LP or something.) Both because you should see what you’re getting into, there is a LOT of text, and also just so you can enjoy the game on your own.

  “I feel like I've forgotten something... Something... very, very important...”  “...It's okay. You're all normal.” “Really...?” “...Yer just exhausted. Y'oughta take a rest.”  “T... Then nothin' to worry about. Right?” “But...” “............” “Nao... and Kanna... Everyone who had to be sacrificed...” “Then don't just sit around and think about it.” “...Right.”Everyone being told to move to the next floor before their collars activate.   “What's gotten into you guys?”  “Sou...” “...Just in time, huh.” “Like I can be all smiles right now.” “Huh? But I'm smiling. See?” “Just stop it!! The one you were tryin' to protect... We just went an'...!!” “What would that be...?” “W...”what would that be”...?!” “Ohh, you mean Kanna...?” “Well, it was too bad. In that Main Game, Kanna even went and got the Sacrifice...  “But alas, she didn't get the chance to choose me and have us escape together.”Music stops.  “..........” “Wahaha...” “What's so funny?” “Ah, how pitiful... If ever there was a world where that happened...” “Kanna wouldn't pick you, she'd pick Sara.” “...!”     Music stops.  “Quit with the lies, Sou.” “..........”  “..........” “And we obstructed it.” “Sniff...” “...You must hate us to death.” “Regardless... We have to cooperate.” “...This is going nowhere.” “Enough. Let's hurry to the next floor.” “Sou...” “You sure are strange, Keiji.” “During the discussion, I could've sworn you wanted me to die so bad.” “Well... it's different now.” “..........”Sou leaves.  “Let's go already. We can deal with him later.” “Meow...” “I know, Gin. I wanna do something about it, too.” Meeting Komaeda and the dummies.   “...Shut up.” “You've got such a wonderful look on your face now. Ahaha...”  Sou's reaction to being told they have to kill Komaeda.  Reko and Sou against the first Obstructor.      In the gallery; looking at Kugie's execution.  (...Well, no reason to think about it now...)Look at Nao's execution.  Look at the painting of Sou smiling.  Look at the painting of Joe's execution.  “...Sara, don't look...” “O... Okay.” The video call with Komaeda.  “Komaeda... Tell me just one thing...” “...Hm?” “Shin...” “Ahaha. Grab the truth with your own hands... Didn't you learn that...?” “...” “Ahh... Don't look so down. I don't intend to hide it...”After the call. “Hey, Sou! Tell me! Is Komaeda with Asunaro?! You guys know each other, right?!” “...” “I'm eager to learn what your relationship was...” “When he was alive... we were often together.” “...!” “But that's irrelevant now.” “In fact, maybe he'll get more fired up...” “I see...” (Sou... seems to know how scary Komaeda can be...)In the discussion room.   (But... everyone else thinks that, too. So I want us to all escape together...) (...They're all precious allies...)  “Victory is on the line, right?” “Victory?” “Only one person can survive... Then the Death Game will end.” "Such a scary thing...” "Wait a sec... So only one person can survive this game after all?!” "Yeah...”   "...!! Inconceivable...! We won't sacrifice anyone else!!” "But... y'know...” "...Can you kill Komaeda?" "...!!” "I can't sympathize with a lowlife like that, but...” "...I can kill him...” “If it's to protect my allies... I'll kill him...!!” “I'm going to end this Death Game...!!” Riding the elevator to the fifth floor for the first time.  “...I'll take the left one.” “Then I'll go in the other one.” “...”In the school room.  (…) “Ranmaru... Could you let me have that?” “Huh? W-What the hell... Is it important?” “Just do it...” “What is that, exactly?” “............” “If it ain't Sara's... then is it maybe...” “That Joe guy's...?” “Why do you know that name...?”
(Joe...? Who in the world is that...?) Strangely... I don't feel the urge to find out. It feels like... there's a lid on my brain. “...Give me that. And don't say that name again.” “A-Alright, fine... Don't give me that scary look.” (Is Keiji angry...?)Sou's reaction to the consent form.  
 “Maybe... we'll find out if we proceed....” Fifth room Locker room, after listening to the instructions for the First Trial. (As I suspected, this room was used for First Trial...) “Urgh...!!” “Sara...!” What is it? When I try to remember, my head hurts. (No! My head... hurts...!) “Don't force it, Sara.” “Keiji...” (It's no good... leaving it this hazy...) “Hey, Dummies... Have any of you guys heard this recording before?” “Nope, not at all. We only saw the moment of our deaths, see?” "Can't remember anything just before we died..." “Ah, I see...”
Talking to the Shin AI.  “Ah... You called?” “Huh?” “Ah... Good day... Huh? Why am I there...?” “Dammit, how sickening... Seriously...” “Hey! What's the deal with you?! Got more hints about the Death Game?!”Sou and Reko against the books.     After the fight with the books.  (No... It's my imagination... I know... I know, don't I?! I've overcome this kind of thing again and again! Again and... I don't... want to die...) (You could never... get used to this...) “Pant...! Pant...!!” (No...! I can't look uneasy!! My allies are watching!) (I'm providing everyone support, so I...!) “Hahhh...!!! Hahh...!!!” “...?!” Ranmaru took my limp hand.   “I'm telling you... I'll take your place!” “What's gotten into you...?” “Shaddup... I can do what I want, right?” “Bwahaha....” “Err... Kinda got beaten to the punch there.” “Keiji... We've filled in the map. A policeman should be good at searching, right?” “...Of course.” “Please... It's not like I wanna be a sacrifice!” “Okie-dokie... Gotta apprehend the bad guy.”Retrieving the blue book.  Q-taro reached into the hole and got the book. “Ugh, it's sopping wet...” “Should be able to make out bits 'n' pieces, at least!” “Lessee...”Music stops.  “...”When Shin saw me today, he once again gave me a smile, and playfully said good morning”....” “...What's this creepy book? A diary?” “...Shin...” “Look at the front cover! It says “Shin Tsukimi AI Test Data”!” “AI test data...?!” “Don't tell me the reason he got close to me was for this...?” “...............” “Dammit, man... You really gotta spit out everything you know soon.” “...............” “...Why should I tell you?” “Ehh...?” “H-Hey, quit it...!” “They're your beloved allies, ain't they? No keeping secrets, yeah?”Music stops.  (S... Sou...) “Miss Sara and Komaeda... They're hardly any different to me.” “W-We're...!” “So for now, we'll hold hands and do our best... Miss Sara.” “...............” “Come on, now. If you don't hurry, you'll lose this game of tag, right?”After Komaeda tells everyone to return his collar and then leave. “Enough of this charade, Komaeda.” “...” “What do you mean?! Sou...?!”  “I'm sure he's just waiting for something to happen.” “...” “In short, what you've been doing...” “Is try to destroy us from the inside...”After Q-taro's speech.   “Wha?! Me...?!”Fight against Komaeda.

Nankidai seems to be quite fond of doing little sketches of the characters; sometimes standalone, sometimes with a little joke. I think there's too many to post, but here are a few of his sketches: Sara is made of wet paper -    Kai the pulley (in spite of Keiji's best efforts) -    Kai's kitchen utensils -    Keiji only cares for Mishima -    After 100 days on the island -  Sou loses his hat in an arm wrestling match -   Joe the hermit crab -  Welcome to the year of the Rat -  Anzu and Kurumada -  If everyone was the mastermind -   Gashu as a student -  (There's hardly any sketches of Gashu, I think Kugie has more.)Blooper 1 - Mishima's collar only got slightly warm -  Blooper 2 - If no one could understand the rules -  Blooper 3 - If everyone survived until chapter 2 -  (Joe apparently gave his hair clip to Ranger.)Pudding Kanna -  Nao styling Ranmaru's hair -  Miley tells Joe that if a person licks their collar, the collar will fall off. No one believes Joe and he ends up needing Safalin after trying to prove everyone wrong -    Sara and Keiji enlist Sou's help to change the bulb in the mirror room -  Keiji uses Joe to test out some flower seeds -    Sou and Joe go to Karaoke -  Fluffy Nao -  Kai loses composure -  If you want to check out more sketches, they can all be found on Nankidai's Twitter (all captions in Japanese): 2017, 2018, 2019 There's a 3-1B spoiler in the 2020 Tweets, so I won't add that link for now.

Bear in mind the next release won't be the finale, 3-1 was split into 2 parts (3-1A was rushed out a bit to coincide with the release of the manga), it's the second part of 3-1 that should hopefully be coming out in January or February. 3-2 might well be another year off.

I'd rather it be delayed for years than rushed and unsatisfying, and I bet I'm not the only one who feels this way. (Especially if the finale is bloating up like these things tend to do.)

Bumping this so it doesn't end in archives. Still no confirmed release date for 3-1B; Nankidai is aiming to release something "people have long been waiting for" on the 28th, but is unsure whether he'll be able to make that date. There is a novelisation from Joes' POV due out this month: If / When there's any kind of translation, I'll include it in the LP. HydroSphere fucked around with this message at 15:01 on Feb 21, 2021 |

MarquiseMindfang posted:Can I raise the comedy option of Fuckface, in proud Pokemon tradition? No, it's not serious, I don't want to ruin the game. It deserves better. But someone had to say it! I did this on my own because I HAD to, and it really does kind of puncture the drama just a bit. That said, "Your target is rear end in a top hat" is my new favorite euphemism. Also? Your Turn To Shine is an evil, evil game. I swear I've had less trouble avoiding starvation in Pathologic.

Update: 3-1B is more or less finished, it's just a matter of resolving a few lingering bugs now. A "demo" has been released for players to help Nankidai track down said lingering bugs. Once that's done, 3-1B will be officially released, hopefully a translation will shortly follow.

According to a Twitter post, VGPerson will be using the demo to get a head start on translation so it should be pretty quick...And, apparently they removed all instances of the phrase "among us" in the latest patch. Not going to verify that one, but I want to believe.
