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.
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.

If we go by eyes, then Kaori has the same eyes as Rika and Ayane.
Also Ami doesn't change subjects, she just calls it dumb and repeats that Sensei shouldn't trust Maya.
And finally Nodoka's reaction about Akira's name was very strange, I think she either knew Sekai or was a fan of his writting.

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
Though if you know how to read renpy code tracking events becomes a lot easier and renpy is like the easiest language out there

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".

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.

With Kaori's eyes turning red was she possessed by Sekai maybe?
Most probably yes. Sekai seems to have an interest in forcing girls to be with Akira. See also the threesome scene with Makoto and Futaba
also I found this in an early Ami event:
Nice catch. It's probably the shadow of her mother, the hair seems to match. Either that or the dev left a character in the scene by mistake. Which event is this from?

It's from the event "Cute girls and stuff".

That's a level of direct control beyond what we see in Toys.

Considering Kaori talks about "spare parts inside me" or something very similar in her hex text rant, I think she got one or more organs from Sekai after the accident that's enabling so much direct control.

Some speculations about Nodoka’s “influencers”

Can the lavender person be Futaba?
Point:
old friend and forever love of hers, not lavender-colored hair but lavender scented perfume (I mean I really can't tell what hair color Fubuta has), repopulate book shelves like a librarian, busy saving someone else as a selfless person she was and is
Counterpoint:
the name Yuko; even if Nodoka has the tendency of changing the name, the change isn’t that major if the trend followed through (but I doubt Yuko is this person's real name regardless)
Futaba is basically too low on any sort of trippy-ness from herself other than perhaps Clam's Tongue

It's a stretch; but with Nodoka describing herself:
- using a potentially fictionally modifed version
- using a third person POV
- and with how things are always trippy and unexplainable to her the entire time, it's just too hard to land on a solid answer

Other more obvious influencers to her are Akira and Sekai; there is no way that she hasn't read any of their creations, but it's now she knows Sensei IS Akira. Maybe she found the "something isn't right" feeling from their works resonated with hers.

Also at this point I believe the published upside down house story is basically one of her creations (which also got movie adaptation, but she apparently is renowned enough). It's creepy but at the end of the day it's a human-made piece of creation, perhaps telling whatever past she experienced via the hyper-perceptive senses she has.

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.
I just noticed too, that I apparently missed a couple of updates. And what are these "care packages"??
But since there are now "DRM" shenanigans, I actually did not miss anything.
Screw it, I'll join the middle finger crowd and I get plenty of free disc space in return.

(Poor Ayane got excluded)
Though the choice of skin tone in the design indeed implies a connection to Tsuenyo especially in default Japan (hopefully this sentence doesn't sound like a racist...), but is Nao's hair really from Yumi other than black/long/not very straightened, or just by process of elimination if Tsuenyo is here than so should Yumi? (her braided hairstyle does seem eerily familiar though; where've I seen that???)

rewatch untitled, (be prepared for answering things) ayane WAS singled out and excluded, hair reminds me of yumi's because besides being long and black it has that sort of white fading effect at the tips she has... though i guess kaori also has that, but none of the other girls do, yumi and kaori are related though.

lavander historically can range anywhere from blue to outright purple. this is because when you make a natural dye with lavender the product comes out more blue than purple.
look up 'lavender blue'
that is the old traditional color of lavender

most people that are poetic refer to it this way
nowadays though, most people just mean the plant when they say lavender which is a purple close to wakanas hair depending on the season it also is the color of futabas but most stock images show lavender when it is more purple

so it could mean wakana, it could mean futaba
