There's also the fact that a second analysis would reveal if Pewter had lied. If So was confident that they didn't have valid evidence, he would not need to resort to blackmail to get off the hook.

Both good points. I guess that also explains why So was down at the warehouse just now: he wanted to see if he should be worried about the investigation. It'll be interesting to see if Date and Mizuki can learn anything useful -- we're clearly missing something major about So's relation to the case. (And maybe Aiba can finish that story about the Sejima family along the way, that'd be nice.)

The problem I see is that So is probably too heavy to do the elevator trick with Renju’s body. I’m suspecting a chain of killings (Renju got Shoko because ???, Iris got Renju because of tumor problems, and now So tried to get Iris and Ota).

I'm just going to point out for a second that you shouldn't be expecting everything to be answered by the end of this branch. There will be a lot of unanswered questions left to go through. This post also has the added benefit of freeing Mecca-Benghazi's post from post purgatory, where the post exists but can't be read and keeps showing up in my bookmarks list as unread.

However, keep in mind that we are maybe halfway or so through the game. There's plenty more information out there to be found. And killers' mindsets are notoriously difficult to understand.

NeverHelm posted:This doesn't quite fit the killer's MO, though. Why would all the victims have their eye gouged out, while they are still alive at that? It seems unlikely that three different people would go through with such a cruel ritual, or even be capable of it in the first place. It doesn't even make sense as a diversion, because it implies a highly sadistic killer - the kind that doesn't really need a specific motive to kill. Their lack of motive might end up incriminating them. My main evidence for the chain killing like in a particular Agatha Christie novel is just Iris’ weight though. I guess it could be possible that So killed Shoko, maybe in a deal with the Kumakuras gone south? He’s definitely the eye gouging type

Aiba really took one for the team there. That bullet would have gone straight through his other eye and into his brain. These action scenes always seem so out of place compared with the rest of the game, what with their over-the-top anime logic and PORNO MAGs. But hey, at least we got So in the end! He's also Date's dad, apparently. Doesn't seem like he's a good parent figure either. There are a lot of those in this game. At least Date and Hitomi are alright.

This is my favourite part of the game, besides the true ending. Mizuki and Date's relationship feels very genuine and the voice acting really sells it. Also, I really like when VNs let you see another character's perspective for a bit.

NeverHelm posted:Mizuki and Date's relationship feels very genuine and the voice acting really sells it. Agreed. The voice acting has been good throughout, but it really shines in these more emotional segments. So Sejima being Date's father doesn't really explain anything yet, but it does introduce more possible reasons for his actions. I've mostly been assuming that So just wanted the police to stay away from his affairs, and that he didn't have any interest in Date beyond this. With a direct relationship between them, though, it's possible that some of So's actions are motivated by wanting to manipulate Date specifically. Perhaps that's why he went to the warehouse in the beginning of the other branch -- he expected Date to follow him there and wanted him to see Iris' corpse for some reason? Also, we learned Boss' real name! "Shizue Kuranushi" -- I don't think we've heard either the given name or the surname before. Date specifically pointed out earlier that he doesn't know Boss' real name, and now it shows up when he's unconscious, so he still doesn't know. It feels like this will be significant. (Although it would be funny if there's no great secret and Boss just doesn't like her real name.)

On the topic of that line, here's something I wanted to share after this update: This is a Twitch clip from Mizuki's VA playing through the game and getting to that particular line. Just give it a watch.

New video! We Psynced with Date. Did we manage to save him? Also, I just completely ran out of backlog and haven't recorded anything since despite the fact we don't have any votes anymore and I could've just recorded all this time. So there might be a break for a bit or a looser schedule as I get back up to speed.

If you look past Iris still being hospitalized, how Date's probably lost his faith in his superiors at HQ and the implication he will be brooding over not uncovering the full truth for the rest of his life, this is a pretty good ending. Better than our first one, at any rate.

This somnium toes the line between funny and sad. Except Adorabbit, that's just plain creepy. Also, the game might've let you proceed without eating the stew, but it will punish you by making ALL further actions in that somnium cost an extra 10 seconds. This way, you'd have to reach Date with at least 132 seconds left if you want to get through this somnium (and borderline impossible to leave with time to spare).

I wonder if it also changes the timies that you get - you can tell in the video that I was visibly confused when looking at Adorabbit on the speaker, and that was because I could've sworn that the "Ugly" option didn't give me a 3x negative timie before, I thought it was only a 2x.

It does. There are a lot of variable outcomes and timies, based off of things like which choices you made in previous selections, how much time you have remaining, and I believe some even have different outcomes depending on whether or not you used a timie on it or not. Trying to write comprehensive guides for this game is an absolute nightmare as a result.

What happens if you call out to Renju or Shoko in the last scene of Date's Somnium? Is it just a game over with "Date never woke up, the end"?

52-X notes: 6:53 Yuri!!! on ICE references! 8:30 A Pandora's Box from Mars is the catalyst that begins Kamen Rider Build. 11:40 Kamen Rider Den-O's catchphrase. 16:53 Kamen Rider W's catchphrase. 17:25 No. No, he is not. The catchphrase is Kamen Rider Gaim's. It's. It's not good. I can't articulate why beyond pacing issues (since I didn't watch most of it), but it's bad. I've heard one of the left side plates has different dialogue if you punch it, though, so maybe there's still something to catch up on!

Nothing has happened in this branch to make it her instead of So right? It’s just a different perspective on the same event in the Somnium. So somehow she’s involved with So.
