I think this update confirms the theory that Kaori's accident and Sekai's accident are the same.

We've known for a while that Kaori was hurt severely in the accident, so much so that she was in the hospital for a long time, to the point that Yumi had assumed she'd died.

So she likely had to receive an organ transplant to stay alive.

I think the giant spider tattoo is there to cover up the surgical scar. I think she wound up with Sekai's heart. This is why Sekai appeared to be able to take over in that next to last scene without looking all sex-zombie like in Toys.

I think this is reinforced by Rika talking about getting a tattoo to cover up a cult brand. Creating repetition of using tattoos to cover wounds of a past you'd prefer to forget.

In one of the old happy scenes, we hear the sounds associated with someone being on life support. In one of Akira's memories, he talks about pulling Sekai out of the wreckage. I think she lived long enough to wind up in the hospital on life support, but was in a condition where she'd never wake up. And as the next of kin, it had to be Akira that authorized the removal from life support so that her organs could be used to save the lives of others.

That's why he was such a basket case after the accident. Not because of her death by itself, but because HE had to be the one to make the call to make it official.

Huh - I can't get the first Touka event to fire - I've gone to the archery range to see her on both Saturday and Sunday.
Make sure all content from the previous updates are completed, just in case.
Also make sure your affection is high enough. I used an editor to set mine to 60.

, no matter how cliche it is. I've getting those vibes since day 1, no matter how many people were talking about how it's Ayane we should watch out for. Interestingly though, I've been convinced that I was 100% on the know and it appears to be not the case.

I think he was also the one driving the car. Fucking yikes.

Mother's Milk has Nao. I kind of think it's a tree-god, but people will probably disagree.
If Nao is a tree god, that would likely mean that Nao is the actual name for the god of wires, since he's been described as a tree with wires for roots.

I'm not sure if that's accurate, but I can't think of anything that would prove or disprove that conclusion.

Finally, a big eventfull window between event chains. Looks like most complex event structure since event chains introduction. Amount of grind is a bit disapointing, through. In 0.30.0 I was able to complete "A Brutal, Violent Creaming" just on it's timegate in 100% walkthrough and now I have no idea how much I am behind the schedule.

Definetly like this level of complexity. It reminds me of chapter 1, but improved.


PS how do I attach svg? png is cool, but it has limited resolution

I mean, those ropes looks suspiciously like wires, don't they? Also, the way Nao self-describes what he does is in alignment with how wire-god was first described to us, from what i remember.

That was it - I thought I had completed all items from the prior update on this particular save, but I had not. Thanks.

In continuation of the topic of missing requirements: don't you think that "First Contact" ("Where the Trees Live") should require "Second Sun"?

If i could read the letters i would use google translator but i cant even read a full word
Yeah that's my problem as well, if not I would have done it myself.

That and the fact that I don't trust Google Translate at all, I have seen way too many games on this site that were """"""translated"""""" in italian in the worst way possible

The image with the lamb, translated:

"I've turned to love for forgetful sleep but love is nothing to me but a needle mattress, made to make the cruel girls drink."

The first time it appeared, it was last in sequence with three other images. Full context below.

"Sometimes i feel like i'm bleeding profusely, like a fountain sobbing rhythmically. I hear it well flowing with a long whisper but i touch myself in vain trying to find the wound."

"Across the city as in a closed field, he's leaving, transforming the cobblestones into islets. Sating the thirst of every creature and everywhere turning nature red."

"I've often asked deceptive wines to numb for a day the terror that gnaws at me. Wine makes the eye clearer and the ear sharper."

"I've turned to love for forgetful sleep but love is nothing to me but a needle mattress, made to make the cruel girls drink."

This update was a lot and i'm pretty much beyond making anything out of it myself even more than usual so i'll definitely be relying on the good folks of this thread to do their usual dissections. Already seen some good stuff.

I was really hoping I could put off a full replay until we were closer to the end of the chapter, but I think I'm going to need to fine-tooth comb this shit a lot sooner than that now.
