This is adorable. And such a well-made thread. I don't know if I should buy the game or enjoy the thread and then buy the game.

Of course this game just went on steam sale. I assume everyone reading this thread wish-listed it.

Odette looks insane. She doesn't match any other character in this game :stonk:

Odette really feels like she got isekai'd into this story from another from her artwork

That's the feeling I was trying to describe! She feels really out of place.

Updates to this story is a high point to my week. I love this game.

I am still amazed at how much effort was put into Rinkas design. And I'm also not convinced that Odette is human.

Oh, yes, this is one of her cards just being spoken out loud over and over again. She needs to pay attention.

I have so many feelings on this story. I don't know what I would do in Rinkas position.

My first impulse is just to hand my book to Miharu and hope the advantage is enough for her to win.

But on the other hand, she might not be able to do it alone without support. But this Russian roulette life just seems unbearable.

That’s a lot to put on Naomi too. And by “that” I mean “your charred corpse.” :(

Yes. Other people are really the driving motivation here. Was Naomi on the train when Rinka died? Did she get hurt too?

Feliday Melody

So Rinka sacrificed herself to save Naomi, and now Naomi feels deeply loyal to her.

This whole plotting the destruction of a sick woman who might also just have had a kid is very grim, though. I don't think I could do that even if my life was on the line.

But Miharu and Naomis lives might also be on the line, and it would be very selfish to sacrifice them as well.


Someone help me understand some English here.

In Swedish, you use the word "chance" (chans) for something good and "risk" (risk) for something bad. It's a common speech error among kids here to use "chance" for both. Like there can't be a chance of dying in a fire. Only the risk of dying in a fire. But there can be a chance to win at the lottery etc.

But in English, people use chance for both good and bad things, which I always found jarring. Is using "chance" for both proper?

generally, chance is the possibility of something happening, regardless of whether that's a positive or a negative thing- it can be something like the odds of an event happening (probability, essentially) or rather a development that was accidental or coincidental (doing something 'by chance', specifically).

risk, on the other hand, explicitly brings with it the addition of danger or threat- it's the possibility of defeat or loss, rather than an undefined potential event

Wow, that's way smarter than I can manage. I'll just have to do my best with these :v:

If it helps, one of my old prep books made the distinction with three examples -

"There's a chance we will win, and a chance we will lose" is valid,
"There's a chance we will win, and a risk we will lose" is valid,
but "There's a risk we will win" is awkward in both cases.

Edit - this is with the assumption that winning was a good thing.

Okay, that helps a lot. I'm just a little uncomfortable with saying "chance of bad thing" Because I was thoroughly taught otherwise through my entire childhood.

Naomi could have died and just not ended up in the selection. Or just been hurt badly.

Can't be, they all died at the same time. I'm pretty sure her regret was not telling Rinka how she felt though.

The exact moment, or just close together?

Feliday Melody
May 8, 2021


Well that's.... a lot less dramatic and interesting I must admit.

Miharu having committed suicide due to the loss of her one love, Rinka would have given the story an incredible amount of emotional weight and explained a lot of her actions so far. Including her constant preparations to sacrifice herself to save Rinka at any cost. Because without Rinka there would be no life.

I just noticed. Rinka never wears her jacket properly. Is that some design or is it just an artistic choice?

Also what was it about Rinkas look that made her look dangerous?

Feliday Melody
May 8, 2021

I'm surprised Rinka. In all this chit-chatting. didn't confront Miharu about her own cause of death. Which Miharu knows.

Feliday Melody
May 8, 2021

I appreciate the change in tone as it moves to Federico's internal dialogue instead of Rinkas.

The artist is way too fond of Odettes design. On top of that, her eyes literally have an afterglow and not just regular anime colours. I still wonder if she's supposed to be human.

Feliday Melody

I didn't really get the rules of the game but could 2 people in theory survive the whole thing or did it have to end with one survivor?

Again about Rinka looking threatening.

On a related note. The story does cite Rinka as looking dangerous or threatening etc sometimes. Which is why I asked.

This is all really interesting and I feel like the translation probably loses a ton of context.

I assume that after commissioning Miharu in 5 different outfits doing various dances etc. They ran out of art money to have a Rinka carrying someone :v:


I appreciate that they make the most of what they have though haha.

I'd like to see Federico not be useless. Give him a gun or some explosives or something.

I actually like him. There's something about his self-awareness that's kind of adorable.

Parca being like "well that was interesting! Anyways..." is very funny to me for some reason.

I'm guessing that Yu's regret changed at some point, thus the card shattered as soon as it was handled. Of course, it's hard to say why it changed, as one of a few different things could have caused it.

Which means that Rinka no longer has all 3 of his cards.

I appreciate weird lines like this because this is how my Autistic brain makes me talk in real life sometimes when I let my guard down.

Feliday Melody

Right because if Yu dies then Naomi will be returned.

But Rinka doesn't even know his regret, right?

Feliday Melody
May 8, 2021

I absolutely understand them not dropping 12 characters on the reader at once. It would probably be really confusing.



This shot is disturbingly horny, and I don't know why they went with that.
