You missed some dialog with the mom after she came back from brewing tea. At least I think you missed it. I don't know when exactly the next set of mom-dialog appears.

Yeah it’s the first thing in the next update. The next few updates are a bit patched together because I did the backtracking stuff first, but I’m not actually showing that off until after we get the next song.

Update 22 - Boy Meets Backtracking Again

We finish up a song, so let's wrap things up! This time, it's going to take two whole updates to do so as getting the pickaxe unlocks quite a few things. In return for no story content this update, have a video from laura's channel featuring the Monsieur.

It's okay if you have any questions.


Given that the game has no combat, I'm not really sure what it could have other than fetch quests. I guess it could be filled with minigames, but I'm glad we didn't get that.

Update 26 - Boy Meets the Stars

A little delayed today because...

:toot:Today is the 1 year anniversary of Rakuen!:toot:

Steam has the game on sale for 40% off and 53% off if you want to buy the soundtrack as well! That's $6 for the game and $9.34 for the bundle. It's not too late to buy the game and check it all out for yourself!Then come check out the rest of the LP please don't leave

In regards to today's update, it's also a party! The so hinted at Star Festival starts! It's a pretty cool segment that lets all the characters in the game come back for a bit, though I do wish this part were longer, it's understandable as to why it's not (that whole in development for 4 years thing.) If you're curious about this segment, Laura actually wrote about this part and the inspirations for it. It's pretty neat! Though make sure to read the update first to get the full context.

I don't know if it means much of anything, but I notice in terms of the doors letting us into people's head we've been Gemma's husband, Tony's daughter, Kisaburo's wife and Sue's dog. None of the actual patients, but the people closest to them. It's a nice little consistency.

Update 27 - Boy and Sue Build a Little World

:siren: :siren::siren::siren:

Sue's Little Worlds

:siren::siren::siren::siren:

Build a little world with me

(You really should watch the video.)



























Once these walls were grey





But you made stars and skies and snowflakes







We found a rainbow everywhere





You made a place so we could hide away







And if you stay right by my side







We'll make it through the night
And you'll never have to feel alone again





So before it's time to leave...
...would you build a little world with me





















Once this room was cold





But then I asked the sun to smile again









Our castle covered the expanse









With all the patches, pillows we could hold





And if I stay right by your side
We'll make it through the night





And I'll never have to feel alone again





So before it's time to leave
would you build a little world with me





























If you stay right by my side







We'll make it through the night



And we'll never have to feel alone again





So before it's time to leave



would you build a little world with me

Now it's time for me to leave...
I'm glad you built this little world...

I wondered, in the first chapters, what kind of ward we were in given the range of symptoms the patients showed.

It's palliative care, isn't it?

That could be it. My guess was cancer ward, but gemma doesn't have cancer. Kisaburo clearly had a cancer somewhere that spread to his brain, as his notes mentioned metastases in the brain. Sue's disease is, I believe, unknown. I assumed cancer as well, but it could have been a genetic disease that reached a terminal state.

Regardless, remember this image from the first update?



I was really hoping no one looked into what this meant (and if anyone did, they didn't comment on it at least).

Wikipedia posted:

Carboplatin, sold under the trade name Paraplatin among others, is a chemotherapy medication used to treat a number of forms of cancer. This includes ovarian cancer, lung cancer, head and neck cancer, brain cancer, and neuroblastoma.

Wikipedia posted:

Pemetrexed (brand name Alimta) is a chemotherapy drug manufactured and marketed by Eli Lilly and Company. Its indications are the treatment of pleural mesothelioma and non-small cell lung cancer.

Pemetrexed is also recommended in combination with carboplatin for the first-line treatment of advanced non-small cell lung cancer.

vvv I'll comment on that after we see the next update.

To be honest, when I played the game, it kinda lost me around here. I figured out why the boy wears that hat a while earlier. And this (main-)story line felt a bit forced, while the political commentary was a bit on the nose. That being said, I am not a heartless monster. I actually got teary eyes when I was at the end of the previous update.

Tomorrow will be a miscellaneous update containing a couple of minor things I'd want to point out or found interesting, Friday will be the ending.

It was impossible to gif and show off, but yes after Yami says ... and you see the screen light up- Mom gets pushed back further and further.

Also, I just saw this yesterday otherwise it would have been in Sunday's update. I can't link the source because it's got spoilers:
