I have a doubt on how the Bug works.

Day 1, Engineer and Bug claim. Engineer checks Bug, Bug dies that night. That's the only death. Engineer reports Bug was human (which I really think should give a different message, BTW). Do Gnosia attacks just outright fail if they target the Bug, or was it the Guardian Angel's power in action?

No need to spoiler role names,, they're right in the manual.

Gnosia attacks fail if the target is a Bug or if the target was protected by a Guardian Angel. Until the end of the game, no one knows why the attack failed,, just that it did.

The Bug dies if they're investigated by the Engineer. If the Engineer investigates someone and the Gnosia attack that same someone, neither side will know for sure if they're the reason their target died until the end of the game. If the Engineer investigates the Bug but the Gnosia attack someone else, no one will know which of the two was the Bug until the end of the game except the roles in question.

If the Engineer investigates the Bug and the Gnosia attack someone elsewho is then protected by the Guardian Angel, the Gnosia know the Bug has been taken out of play, and that's it. No one else will know anything: the Engineer will probably suspect that their target was the Bug, but won't be able to be sure unless it's a small game and every role gets claimed or deduced.

In the absurd but still very possible chance that same person who was investigated by the Engineer and attacked by the Gnosia was also protected by the Guardian Angel, the only person who will know the truth of what happened is the Guardian Angel themself, who will be aware their target couldn't have possibly died to the Gnosia and so the Engineer's report is true (and thus outing to only the Guardian Angel any potential AC Follower/Gnosia who didn't report the same). There's no way to claim this trail of logic, sadly, but it wouldn't surprise me if an AI Guardian Angel in that position is capable of using that information.

So I'm not that far in I guess, around loop 25, and I just got the event where SQ is in the shower room. I just kind of chose "Don't peek" without thinking too hard about it because I didn't want to be creepy, but I guess that prevented the event from continuing... will it replay/will I be able to finish the game without it, or should I restart?

No clue if the CG scenes or whatever have been ripped anywhere, but those are probably easier to find anyway since you can access them in-game by talking to Yuriko as a Bug.

Thank you!

I’m really enjoying how this game takes its own central premise—some people are human, some aren’t, figure it out—and blows it up to the point where it becomes kind of meaningless as a question. Like you start thinking "well, Otome clearly isn't HUMAN, but for the purposes of this exercise," and the list of exceptions starts to grow... From literal non-humans to people who don’t want to be human or don’t think of themselves as human to the Gnosia themselves, as far as I know atm… I feel like the way the goalposts move here is really engaging and works both thematically and mechanically. Or something.

(And like, much as it’s meaningless as a question, the process of answering it is still meaningful: so basically it’s all one big cosmic Say You’re Human round.)

Seeing some comments about Chipie in the LP thread, but don't wanna post this spoiler there:

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!"

I'm in the middle of a loop right now and something bizarre is happening. I'm solo Gnosia, with no AC Follower and no Bug. Day 1 guards are claimed by Gina and Raqio, which fine. They're confirmed Town that's cool. Don't kill either of them and on Day 2 Chipie decides to spend half the discussion Doubting Raqio. Naturally he ends up eating almost all the votes except for like one (not counting his) because for whatever reason Remnan decided to vote Shigemichi. Day 3 Kakrushka decides she now wants to start Doubting Raqio and gets all of the votes. Day 4 now and Remnan Doubted Raqio followed by Otome Doubting Raqio. I have no idea what is going on here. :psyduck:

Even with the threat of being murdered and erased from existence, some folks just don't want to spend their remaining time listening to Raqio explain how they are superior in intellect and humanity because they were on guard duty.

I really enjoyed this game. It is kind of funny though, it took me 133 loops to get the ending and figure out what I needed to do for the true ending, but it took another 67 loops to get Yuriko to teach me Block Argument. Even using a guide didn’t help. And of course, by then my stats were so high that it’s a useless ability now anyway :v:

Had fun getting everything and seeing everything I could with an enby character. Sometime I’ll restart with male and female saves to see the other cutscene variations.

I tend to have the hardest time playing as Guardian Angel or as any role where I ended up being declared human early, because those are always the times when the Gnosia target me on the first or second night. Even with stats all hovering around 40, it still happens. I get it when you’re Guard Duty or otherwise randomly cleared as human in some way, because you’re an easy target, but I don’t get it with Guardian Angel because I don’t play it any differently than just playing as Crew (other than the obvious thing of prioritizing keeping engineers or doctors protected and trying to figure out which ones are the real ones). High Stealth means I rarely ever get targeted as Crew. I’m not sure what changes with Guardian Angel unless the AI has a way to figure out who’s playing that role and prioritizes taking them out.

I forget, is Chipie's Gnosia sprite ever used in dialogue outside of the post-game role wrapup (which doesn't show very much of it)? It def seems familiar, at least...


Also, if this isn't a dumb question/too much to ask, if sprite rips are possible would it also be possible to make a text dump or the like? Could be interesting to be able to put together comparisons of each character's dialogue for specific scenarios, like for participating in small talk or for winning as each faction (and maybe answer the recently-brought-up question of whether Yuriko has dialogue for all three small talk topics or just the scary stories one :tinfoil:)

Got a Definite Enemy situation that I'm completely stumped on.

  • 15 Crew, 4 Gnosia - Engineer, Doctor, Guardian Angel, and AC Follower present.
  • Gnosia are myself, SQ, Sha-Ming, and Stella.
  • Freezes: D1 Setsu, D2 Stella, D3 Comet
  • Night Kills: N1 Raqio, N2 Shigemichi, N3 Remnan
  • Doctor notes: claims D1 of Chipie and Comet, D1 Setsu - both report green. D2 Stella - Comet: red, Chipie: green. D3 Comet - Chipie: red.
  • Engineer: Kukrushka and myself claim on D3: I scan Stella g, Yuriko g, Chipie r. Kukrushka scans Otome g, Sha-Ming r, myself r.

The only target that makes sense to me is AC Chipie, but I don't see how it'd be provable. Both Docs report one gnosia frozen, so it's 6-3 currently for sure, no problem that the game hasn't ended yet. Engies outed on D3, so they could both be fake, but even with the knowledge that Kuk's the real one, it doesn't seem to implicate Chipie. Kuk's not a Definite Human, or taggable as one, so it shouldn't be myself or Sha-Ming that's the enemy; there's nothing pointing to SQ, so I'd be completely baffled if it were her. ...Iunno.

It'll pop up if you get an ending with Gnosia Chipie. I swear I've had this happen a time or two.

As for text dumps, it depends. If I had to guess, it's probably doable. Just have to figure out how to rip assets in whatever engine Gnosia is on (a quick search doesn't tell me anything, but that info is probably out there) and hope the text is simple enough to dump from there. If the sprites were simple enough to rip, then I imagine the text is, too. Don't really want to invest the time to figure it out myself though, plus getting access to the files may be a pain until the Steam version comes out. I've only dabbled in this kind of stuff before, and my experience with ripping assets is "try random poo poo I find on Google until something works", so I can't really say for sure.

Spent some time mulling it over, and I think it's you that's the Definite Enemy.

Particularly, you reported that Stella was Human and Chipie was Gnosia. If Chipie is Gnosia, then Comet must be the true Doctor. But Comet said Stella was Gnosia, which contradicts your report. Kukrushka could still be AC Follower, so this doesn't exonerate her.

Basically, you got hosed by random chance due to claiming Engineer late.

Gina called it on me as the 5th action, seems this was the case! Bit surprised I was given the option, since it was myself.

I was getting a lot of heat before I claimed, so this was basically a last-ditch effort of "well, I know Chipie's bad, maybe I can report him as bad, then make it to 4-3 with a little less attention on myself." The automatic Stella report obviously messed that up, though, ah well.

e: "Say You're Human" got 3 people to catch me in a lie, so overconfidence in my performance was the real killer, I guess.

If it's the one I'm thinking of, that's because it's the last note you can possibly get. Does using the event search in a loop setup do anything weird?
