Caribdis seeing all the theories in this thread "you plebs, you can try but you won't ever discover my plans! I'll keep you thirsty for new updates!"

I'd like to ask a question to those who have read everything that's out so far: how complex is this VN's story? If I start reading now, is it likely that I'll have to go through the whole thing again when more content comes out? I enjoyed Caribdis's previous work, Once in a Lifetime, quite a bit, and have been looking forward to reading this one, but it will likely be a while before the whole thing is finished. I've been considering just reading what's out because I miss his goofy writing style, but there are always so many things on my gaming backlog that having to go back later would make me feel guilty.

From that line I thought MC is like Neo from Matrix, he is the one always been sent before. So not any other NPC but always the MC, though I thought it was the other way around. Like real life was not real, MC is there as a saviour etc. I kinda had an ongoing theory for the game, now it's all mixed up. I agree I want, need ep 6 and preferably 7,8, 9 and so on.

If you liked OIAL, you will love this. Story is complex. My advice: use walkthrough. You will save yourself many time and few bad decisions...

Like all the best stories, it's simple on the surface but it gets quite deep if you really dig into it.
Digging too much is not really necessary, as we don't have too many elements to build crazy theories around. Not that that will keep us from doing it anyway.
Unlikely unless you want to yourself.
The story is interesting but I dont think it is complex enough where you need to read it again each update. I have been following it since 0.3 and I never felt the need to replay just to remember the story for the past 2 updates.
If you like once in a lifetime I think you will like this. Once in a Lifetime improved very significantly as the game went on and the dev gained experience. That trend continues here - I think this is better than what once in a lifetime was at its best.

The complexity of the story depends on how much you care about the clues. The relationships with the girls and the main plot points like MC's compatibility and the importance of the Gems is fairly simple to digest if you are paying attention.
However there is a lot of information scattered around and it's very easy to miss, especially when it is first introduced to you.
If you don't care about attempting to solve the mystery yourself, then you probably don't need the reruns.

Damn, I was wondering why Axel was so upset during that session. That was so easy to miss. Good stuff.

Me: ...
/glances at doc file on his "crackpot theories" folder marked "re: LI flashbacks and dead relatives and fucked-up theory as to how they will tie to the ending"
Brain: Don't.
Me: But-
Brain: We're not sure yet. Don't.
Me: Uhm-
Brain: They're all gonna hate you for it. Don't.

I'm looking forward to the update where some of those "crackpot theories" gets moved to the "canon" folder

Some may go to the "cannon" folder in order to be launched far away.I'm looking forward to the update where some of those "crackpot theories" gets moved to the "canon" folder

Hopefully not the one I've mentioned though, since out of all of the theories I have that one is the most painful to witness if it turns out to be true-I'm looking forward to the update where some of those "crackpot theories" gets moved to the "canon" folder
/Brain shoots an icy glare in my direction
...erm, yeah. I suppose I'll just leave it at that, haha.

Well my theory was heavily related to Matrix. I thought that Eternum lady is like Architect from Matrix and Founder is not a person but an entity in the game who oversees everything. He/she wanted to be replaced because Founder position is basically a prison for eternity. If my theory correct, one of the most important desicion in the game was refusing immortality gadget. If you accept it MC will stuck in Eternum for an eternity if not whatever is the good ending for him.
Anyways, it is highly unlikely. So nothing to worry about, I guess.

My theory is the same since 0.4 update: Orion is in a loop, and every time he choose face (being face not sacrifice something or someone, maybe the girls), but now is time to choose tail, even if tail means death. The flashes and dreams are memories of old loops, and in every one of them Idriel is who is helping Orion, not because she is a friend, but because she can see or remember every loop, and she just want to rest. Maybe the syndicate (the people who give you a card) is people that remember the loops too, and knew that in every time, in every loop Orion and only Orion changes the game, and they need him, but every attempt to help him directly has turned out to be a failure, that's why they are trying a less direct method.
That's my theory at least.
