Ren'Py Lessons in Love [v0.45.0] [Selebus]

I thought he could only mildly interfere with people and only if they asked for it but it seems to clearly not be the case in game, dude even trolls Maya.

Also, I think that was just User1. They pretended to be User2 in order to scare Maya and make her think she would be reset in the Scary Room.

hello to the newly initiated
theory i've had since pretty much ayane got to the roof but was drowned out by all the people insisting she got there because

That's a pretty neat theory, I've noticed that Ami was pretty weird as a character and that she seemed to gaslight you more than once, and information related to her is pretty inconsistent with info from other characters.
I wouldn't be surprised if something like that could happen, but Ami's too weird for me to brainstorm theories right now, I feel like she's got 2 personalities outside of that guy that makes her go wide eyes whenever he takes her form.

The Users are like the accounts of the gods to Sensei's/The player's database. Nozumu's account is User1 but it's dead and various other beings/angels tend to use it to either narrate, have game shows, or abuse Sensei to feed HOPE who is Nozumu's essence and what Angels ultimately serve.

User2 is the Wire god that doesn't feel and doesn't do much unless given permission or asked to, and seems to be either involved with Tsuneyo or is literally her father. This is the tree and calm god, that can alter perception and memories, etc. It is likely the one that resets the world at Maya's behest, and the one that has the most power in winter.

User3 is Pareidolia, the concerned god, and likely the one who helps and uses only lower case letters most of the time. They are the weakest, but are growing and although not on Sensei's side, are planning on using him for good, or so they say. Doesn't have a season unlike the other two, so it tends to bide it's time.

I could be wrong though, as it's been a while since I replayed.

Oh, that's great that you mention that because I also had this thought of Tsuneyo's dad being the Wire God after getting the staircase scene to his room, and thanks for the confirmation on the rest.

Voila. Installation/usage is the same as the original mod, except to set affection you use setLove and to set lust, use setLust

Thanks

I suppose if the theories about Ami was true, then the ending would be possibly entail a sense of dejavu. After her sauna event, the game would tell you that you're playing incorrectly and it is fine to have sex with your niece. It's either we are tracking the 'bad end' route or it is gas lighting over and over again. Boy, was it Ami's favorite word.

It could be a final controntation with Ami as she shows Akira a messed up reality. Sounds familiar?
I wouldn't be surprised, since it was a renpy game and all.

I kind of felt it will be more of a playful banter thing kinda like the marry, fuck, kill game with Noriko and Kirin.
The fact that all choices eventually leads to Niki coming up somewhat teases that if something does happen it will be with her.
But yea, Ayane or Kirin would be the obvious choice for a threesome, with Tsubasa coming as a close second, wouldn't doubt on Yumi though depending on how her future events goes

I think Tsubasa is the clear choice. Keeps the number of people directly involved in the Sensei/Chika relationship as small as possible with no additional complications or loose ends. Well, Chika is probably going to realize things aren't as rosy as she believes sooner or later, but Tsubasa poses the least risk of speeding up that process.

if thats your argument... technically chinami is the best option. completely self contained and in the family.

The missing element in this game that I found in VN games is the unreplayable choices/dialogue. Well considering how hard it is to understand and it basically flashes disturbing images at you, it probably doesn't need it. But wouldn't it be cool to implement that at the endgame? It basically locks all of the choice you made and then once you arrive at some point, you can no longer access your other saves until the ending. (Although it's actually a chore to code lol)

Kinda like Nier Replicant remake, it erases your saves and then it would be recovered once you unlock the true ending.

hello to the newly initiated
theory i've had since pretty much ayane got to the roof but was drowned out by all the people insisting she got there because she was 'pregnant', glad more people are digging it though. have a read, I'm posting it again in quick formaat because you dont want to go looking for it

I also think that key to join the rooftop apocalypse love-squad or watever is to be killed by Ami(after seeing "baby finches" event thanks to u), and kinda expect Noriko would be the next member.

I think it's more likely that Noriko/Kirin/both of them to show up on the roof compared to other girls, not basing on evidence but purely on their current relationship with Maya and Ayane. Noriko and Kirin also got closer to sensei this update which I'm hoping is a hint towards them getting on the roof. Imagine the amount of drama potential.

 

[Pervyfox]

I do still firmly believe that Noriko is the most likely candidate for next member of RAS. and it would be funny as hell if she makes it there before the 3 current members of RAS and is just like 'yo guys wtf is going on' maya would explode

That would be a major advancement in solving the main mystery I feel like (no concrete evidence here, just a feeling solely due to her involvement in Sensei’s secret past; she can provide extra insight on things Maya couldn’t disclose)

Though I don’t know if Noriko’d be thrilled about finding Maya’s role in the reset business. In her own words she already found it next to impossible to compete with her sister, and now she would have to realize that Maya is literally a gazillion years ahead of her by being Sensei’s messianic beacon.

She might take it badly and start blaming Maya for trapping Sensei (somehow) in the loop, or perhaps she might finally reconcile with Maya because now Maya’s actions might make sense.

Just wait until Ami finds out that Akira has a private love nest and several of the girls have apartments in the same building. She'll burn the whole motherfucker down.

Is Ami related to the God of Wires? In the event "Baby Finches" there are a lot of spider shadows together with her, I tought Tsuneyo and Kaori were the only ones related to it, also the way Ami changed after reading her mom's stuff, I think she found out that she is Akira's daughter, or at least that Sekai had an affair with him.

Spiders are associated with Nozomu, the Callous god. The wire god hates spiders, and that's why Kaori isn't welcome in the ramen shop.

 

[hario1225]

I just think it's pretty weird that Maya's not stopping Ayane from recruiting Ami to the apocalypse squad. Does that mean she's still not fully aware of Ami's circumstances? if not, this puts a hole in the theory until proven.

yeah. most definitely. the way japan views relations are a bit different than in western countries. please correct this if wrong but I was under the impression if your brother marries some one that person is now your real sibling, not an in-law
that suana event in the 'good' uncle route where ami basically says sensei has already done incest might have been referring to that. or it could be way more deep than that. ami controls the food he eats even i think admitting once to putting her hair and other fluids in his food. drug him tie him down and does what ever she wants with him. this could be an indicator that ami remembers all the resets including the ones sensei doesn't, but pretends otherwise. even deeper still...we still dont know anything about maya... at all and if ami knew about their relationship as indicated by baby finches... i wonder if she is referring to that and maya is related to them.
I also kind of think maya knows its ami at this point, but cant say anything or everything gets broken, so maya is outright lying to sensei and ayane about what is going on because if she tells them she is afraid she will have to start over, she is just hoping that sensei figures it out all on his own, maybe everything wont get reset again.
those are just guesses though

i mean she did try, told her its bad idea and not to do it, and then she tries anyway

Based on some Internet reading, there used to be a feeling that marriage was a fusion of the two families, but that practice has dwindled in recent decades.

The only time this is truly the case is the practice of Mukoyoshi -- where a family will legally adopt a son-in-law. This is usually only done by families that own a business, but have no sons of their own, and it's done so that the family business can be passed down to a male heir. Since Nozomu and Sekai were both teachers, it's unlikely that this was the case.
