I got this game because everyone was raving about it.

So far:
hate the graphics
music is annoying due to extreme repetition
and getting annoyed at being eliminated really fast. My last 5 rounds eliminations were 3, 2, 2, 1, then 4. The "1" I didn't even do anything, I just got piled on out of nowhere. I know someone has to get voted off in the first round but I had 11 votes against me. Hadn't seen anything like that up to that point.

I do like how fast the loops are. But this seems like a phone game.

It seems incredibly overpriced at $25.

What am I missing that has everyone so excited?

I can understand not liking various aspects of this game, but the visuals are great and I'm baffled that someone would dislike them.

To me they are kind of gross. They look like something out of japanese porn comics. The fairy girl and underboobs and the one making all those weird sex faces that seem to be all the rage right now. Yuck. Plus the backgrounds look really cheap. The game is way old by now, but 999 looked way better in pretty much every way.

I can only assume that by "fairy girl" they mean Raqio, who is neither a fairy nor a girl but I can at least see how you could get there

Yeah. A couple games later I got their little scene. I have to say I do like the inclusion and brief explanation of a non-binary person.

The Japanese porn stuff is Ahegao, apparently: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ahegao Mainly SQ.

I can't stand Yuriko. I just had one where she was labelled gnosia by setsu. Yuriko confirmed it. I tried to do a vote to get rid of her. Then on the actual vote...she didn't get voted out. I mean, WTF. Ugh.

What is no evil roles?

The first day can be useful for some people. LIke if Renman is talking a lot chances are he is gnosia. And if Raqio survives the first round, clearly the game is broken.

Look, Raqio took 50 loops to give me my final command, I'm not letting him die until that!

(Like seriously, he has by far the worst command to get).

I can't stand them. I tried to like them but it's hard when they try to be unlikable. When I was doing the "keep me alive" quest I had a few occasions where I got it down to 3. Me, raqio and a 3rd. And idiot Raqio would vote against me and get me knocked off in the final round. Even when I am using regret and doubt and whatever and having things look like we will oust the final person. But nope. Raqio is a POS. So I vote them off every first round if they show up now no matter what.

Initially I didn't like Yuriko and Sha-ming. But Raqio has taken it to a whole other level. All due to the frustration with trying to keep them alive.

Setsu: we need to survive together till the end
Me: yes, we're a team!

Setsu then doesn't follow my lead when I say someone is gnosia 3 rounds in a row. Twice it survives by 1 votes. Then it eats me.

I've tried both of us to whatever that scene is 4 times now. Last time she got ate 1st round.

I hate how stupid the AI is sometimes.

I must be near the end. I am not "full" yet. I only have 2 crew reports to fill. A Remnan and a Gina. They just aren't popping. My stats are high enough that I win every round but it's just more and more XP with no progress. I think it's like 15 games in a row with nothing. Sigh.

I found some guide and got the last two. All done now. That was a diversion for sure. And yeah, I went back to see spoilers and the Remnan one is pretty messed up. I wonder how many people got that without a guide as it is 100% non-intuitive.

I think this could help the thread. I hadn't seen this stuff listed in any easy to read way.

Logic/Performance 25 - Retaliate

Charisma
10 - Step Forward
25 - Seek Agreement
40 - Block Argument

Intuition
20 - Say You’re Human
30 - Don’t Be Fooled

Logic
10 - Vote
15 - Don’t Vote
20 - Definite Enemy
20 - Definite Human
30 - Freeze All

Charm
15 - Let’s Cooperate
25 - Regret

Performance
15 - Exaggerate
30 - Seek Help

Stealth
10 - Small Talk
25 - Obfuscate
35 - Grovel

Also, my advice is to focus on Regret. This seems to be the most powerful skill that isn't hard to get/reach. I don't mean just put everything into Charm until you get there. But once everything is over 10 and you can do it, do it. It will make things much smoother.
