I never thought of it, but it makes sense in its own way. The house is at "the edge of universe", just like Kumon-Mi is isolated from the rest of the world. Papa is very similar to HOPE and Maya seems to be set on never following the rule of not eating more than you need. Also, it might imply that the "something under your feet" and what's hidden in the attic might be the same thing, since the house is upside-down
After Selly added DRM to the game it was quarantined to some degree, it's not eligible for promotion any more as both a punishment for such dickery and to protect the site users, only those who already follow this game are going to look for it (for the most part) and so the chances of folks getting fucked over by DRM is drastically reduced. The links to his support websites were also removed, basically the game has malware built into it now and so the game no longer gets any assistance from this site. What's left is pretty much just here for the users who were already here and also as a big middle finger to Selly.
Rin casually blurts out that Akira is fucking Chika. She would never INTENTIONALLY share that information, but she has no filter.
These summaries are a godsend and I look for them every update. I like Sel's game, don't get me wrong, it's one of the few VNs where I actually read the writing and don't fire it up for jerk off material. But if I want to read a good book, I don't appreciate it if the author hides all the new chapters in various places around my house. Just let me read the damn book, Sel.
(Poor Ayane got excluded)
I find you guilty of racism and sentence you to murder!
She's spent her entire life with the same parts, she knows her way around them by default.
But that level of confidence in foreplay definetly surprised me. Strong Wakana vibes
I wouldn't even mind that there's a bit of a scavenger hunt to find the events, but there are SO MANY characters and SO MANY locations, and SO MANY events that are locked to a specific order/place/time that I legitimately can't even imagine trying to play the whole game without some kind of guide to tell you where to go. The guide mod feels like it's basically required if you don't want to turn figuring out how to progress into a full time job.
Funny how so many VN devs write about nerd culture and gaming yet doesn't understand anything about game design, it's like they never tried to play their game
It's funny because a lot of devs who make games with obtuse requirements for triggering events like this will recognize that it's a horrible user experience and just add the equivalent of a walk through directly into the game with "hints" that basically just tell you exactly what to do next. Like it's still not good game design, but at least they are willing to admit it's unreasonable to just tell their players "fuck you, figure it out".
She.. probably did the same thing she does to herself... i doubt the "Otoha is a regular cheater" theory is a thing.
Yeah it's a pretty poor design. I don't know why he bothered with a sandbox if everything is linearly gated. But there's no point complaining, Selebus is going to Selebus. Thankfully people post guides pretty quickly.
