Damning with faint praise though it may be, I'm glad to see they came up with a death game that makes sense for the genre of work (ie a game where the best way to get ahead is to pair up with someone, in a game with dating sim elements). Also that thing Beatrix is wearing is a uniform?

There's also the simple fact that we currently contribute the least to the ship, and it would be very likely to end up with us voted off.

Melody and Shizuka this game is intriguing enough that I can't wait to see it go off the rails as promised.

I'm assuming the way the timelines work is that a shot from Jordan on a character will always be the kill shot on that character.

GiantRockFromSpace posted:That would mean there are 7 different branches, one for each death, and either the deaths would have to account for who is alive if they can happen anytime or they're just generic lines which would suck. The logical thing is 2-4 branches and some shots lead to the same result. Not necessarily - you could theoretically have a route where X or Y died and it had the same end result (one of the twins dying and the other doing something that would cause Dai to retaliate, for example). This is all speculation, but 'there are seven routes, or slightly fewer with similar end results' is more believable to me from a game standpoint than 'you make a decision that doesn't actually matter in a visual novel'.

we're gonna have to go with the twins eventually, and M!Jordan is less guarded than his female counterpart

now I'm wondering if Dai's deal is that she promised Kimiko's mom she'd keep her alive... but with no restrictions on just how she'd accomplish that.

Quackles posted:Yeah, uh, the resources crunch as an excuse feels... made up, to me. I would not be surprised if it was, given how many scenes we've had of people snacking, but I'm going with what the game's given us so far. Either way, I guess.

So, uh, that sure happened. My theorizing: Ai's deletion brought on a containment breach between dimensions that allowed murdery Kimiko to pass through and do some murdering. also but less related: Yoshiki has fast gone from 'tee hee quirky' to 'if the writers thought this character was charming, it speaks badly of them and their writing ability'.

There's way too much text in this game that's not dedicated to the service of the game or of the dating bits.

I don't mind Shizuka that much because she shows hints of character growth and thinking beyond her one gimmick and also because she is not as dumb as a sack of hammers. She's impulsive and thinks of everything in terms of video games, which is obnoxious, but that's a step up from Yoshiki who is so dumb it strains credulity. Will be very happy to spend some time with other people. Can't wait to see how Vlad is actually a manic pixie dream man too.

How old's Katashi supposed to be, relative to Shizuka? I forget if it's been mentioned.

wait, we're not basically over? I figured since we were at the point where most of the endings happen, we were getting close.

It's not your pace, it's the game's writing, because it's like 'okay vampire children is where all the button deaths and the vampire deaths and the betrayal deaths happen'

I also like how the resources issue they mentioned at the start goes away basically immediately and there's always fresh food and cake and alcohol around.
