Man, it has been a LOOOOOOOONG while since I last played LiL. It seems the rework is already available here... for some f-ing reason (seriously, explain to me how f95 works. Devs seem to be A-ok with games being posted here even if there were no free releases made by them).
Anyway, I´ve been wondering... based on what Sel told me (or someone else, can´t remember who he was replying) on Itch.io, should I just avoid like half of the game´s content? Because Sel said that there´s an actual ``dark route`` and considering that LiL likes to fuck your mind at the first wrong turn, I imagine the dark route is triggered by kissing Yumi in the ``This city has two halves`` event but it could start with any other choice in any other event. Hell, if anything there are multiple choices that halt whatever route you´re going for and trigger the dark route.
With that said, my question remains. Should I avoid everything and try to live a normal life? At least as normal as it can be with an asshole like Sensei. And by ``normal life`` I mean fucking anyone but students, married women and creepy girls involved with entities that are way beyond human comprehension... *staring motherfuckerly at Maya and her evil, horny twin sister*
So, it's not that there's multiple paths through the story.
Instead of routes, think of them as phases.
Right now, we're in the harem phase. Sensei's running around, shagging everything that moves, not terribly concerned with how he might be hurting any of the characters. It's not a true harem (the girls for the most part don't know about each other, most have made it clear they are not okay with sharing, etc), but it almost kinda-sorta feels like one if you skip half the text.
Eventually, this will transition fully into the dark phase. Signs of it have been peeking through since early on, and as it's progressed, the darkness has been more noticeable, but we're not there yet. There are many ways the dark phase could go, it could wind up being very bloody indeed, but it won't be optional. To get to the end, you will HAVE to go through the dark phase, and we'll all be entering it at the same time.
When that phase is over, Sel will begin adding purity routes. Those will be single-girl routes that take them through to their story's conclusion, and will be added individually (order chosen mostly at random, according to the old post on the subject). Once all those are in the game, a final "true" ending will be added.
