I have anxiety and depression! A nice, sweet game sounds like just the thing to soothe my soul. :3:

C!

From what I read in games, that sounds like an exceedingly bad idea. They are dead serious with that warning.

Oh goodness I wasn't prepared for this.

We're best friends, right? So that's why the protagonist is going to tell her parents, or the police? Or anyone? :(

If people did that in real life, depression would never be fatal.


Thinking about it, this seems suspiciously like we hit a Dead Man Walking at some point, because I really don't see this ending well.

Is the RNG based on your Steam ID or computer fingerprint? That would cause your playthroughs to be exactly the same for you and you alone. Since the game engine is Python code, it would be trivial to modify it to do that.

Rev, one of the Vinesauce streamers, is also doing a playthrough, and he managed to get a different set of poems in Act 1 because Natsuki didn’t hate him and was also willing to work with Yuri. They decide to write about the same topic and compare the results. Sayori still refused to share, despite him making a poem in her style the third time.

I’d be interested in seeing a flowchart after this. I think it’s using a scoring system to decide which scenes you see, but the end result is fixed and the glitches are random.

Hell, she’s probably the most stable one period, glitches aside. She reacts like a real abuse victim without other mental issues would, and she hasn’t had a breakdown yet.

There is a scene we have not seen (and probably will not) that goes into far more depth about Yuri’s issues. I’ll only say that we have not made the best choices in this playthrough, and we are missing out on some of the best scenes in the game because of that.

My theory is the game-within-the-game was supposed to be a take on mental illness, where the best end would be you helping everyone through their issues while still picking a girl (maybe even Monika), while the worst end would be everybody loving dies, and everything in between. But then the spoops happened, and here we are.

How is KS, anyway? I have a feeling that concept would be either really good or really bad, and considering 4chan was involved, I always assumed the latter.

I disagree. He seems pretty much a stock one-dimensional romance VN protagonist who only cares about himself. That’s part of why I suspect the suicide was already a possibility in the (kayfabe) game before it was corrupted; he acts like you would expect he would after you would lose the game, but he never responds to any of the weird poo poo that happens, even the stuff that gets in the log. He never even responds to the weird stuff Monika does in the first playthrough. His responses are all canned. Whatever story the (kayfabe) developers were trying to tell is way beyond their writing abilities.

Mitayo can’t be president because he has no character file. He is part of the game itself and not capable of sentience. If you tried that, you would be making Frankenstein’s Monster.

I wonder if you could legitimately break the game by naming your user account something Python can’t handle.

Also, what would happen if you change security on the character files so they can’t be changed or deleted without admin access?

All I can think of is the part in Hate Plus where Hyun-Ae asks you to bake her an "Honest to God, IRL cake."

I still can't decide if doing that is kinda cute or kinda pathetic. Or both.

Well, they managed to play Kick the Can with a hologram in Ever17, so it’s not too bad.

Yeah, I think there's a hidden scoring system beyond just "who liked it most". Like if you pick 20/20 Yuri words then Natsuki will hate it and refuse to show you hers or just do the "next!" dismissal we saw in the LP. But if you pick 11 Yuri and 9 Natsuki then you'll get the Yuri scene, but Natsuki will still show her poem allowing you to get the Beach poem. Or something like that.

The real interesting thing is the equating of "Amy Likes Spiders" (about Natsuki being bullied for liking manga) and "The Raccoon" (about Yuri's cutting) because, as we all know, anime is blood

It’s not entirely hidden. Natsuki has a lot of dialogue for different scores and how much your score changed from the last poem. The character icons always pop up when you pick a word to let you know who likes it best, so you can keep track of it that way.

As far as I'm concerned, Sayori's heartfelt "please come back and visit anytime" was the definitive and final ending, but like I said before, maybe I'm just a big softie.

Well, it won’t be final for us. :unsmigghh:

Pretty sure he's talking about Yuri's third scene in Act 2 that Roar completely skipped over.

I was hoping too, it's probably the funniest scene in the route.

It’s also really sad despite how funny it is. She knows she always had problems, but she also knows what Monika is doing to her, which makes her shift all the blame away and become unable to stop it.

Monika just needs to get some pointers from The Final Pam.
