"Rumor has it that everyone who played this turned depressed or mostly insane due to being immersed in a world where nothing is certain..."
I normally would disagree with this on the basis that the 'happy' scenes are basically the main plot and are very important, but you do raise a valid point. There are people with medical issues that, in combination with a 'happy' scene being recalled from memory, could result in a very bad time and potentially the loss of players. I mean, yeah, they are given explicit warning that shit is going to hit the fan at some point, but that doesn't soften the impact this combination can have because it only affects the game side of the equation, not the medical side. Another solution is to recommend that any player with this kind of issue does not play the game, but then we're talking drastic measures.
While true, there are some joking references to it. For example, during the Halloween event, there are multiple instances of a character about to mention their age, but then getting interrupted or distracted literally one word before saying the number. But I'm pretty sure they were talking more about the horror elements or something like the fact you nail a girl against a wall both literally and figurativly at one point.
There are a number of reasons I can't do that, but the biggest of which won't be fully apparent until the next update. Those scenes contain information vital to progression and giving players the means to skip them means essentially hard-locking them to certain parts of the game and forcing them to look things up to move forward. And while there are a number of players who already do things like that to avoid the "grind," this would be the first case where it would become literally mandatory for x percentage of the playerbase.
selebus just called the story and plot of his game a 'grind' I have been lied to and I was too stupid to realize I fell in love with just another cookie clicker game, woe is me
Lessons In Love Cookie Clicker spinoff when?!
In a sense, that's kind of how the headpat system will be.
you mean we rapidly click their heads till it looks like we are smacking them around... thats pretty hot
I'm aware and I did address that, but the point was made about their, as of yet undefined, age. Since they did not say the number in the Halloween event, that can't be used as evidence.
Hence why I ended my comment with
I figured it would come to that because of the importance of the events in question. It is unfortunate that things must be this way, but it must be done.
Now that is a grind I don't mind. Rin better prepare herself, the time of great patting is upon her.
Serious answer this time: It's a very well written denpa game. Most famous games in the same genre include Doki Doki Literature Club and Higurashi.
Yes Indeed, maybe... wait could it have been no this entire time and we just didnt KNOW it
Those? They're just happiness explosions.
Haven’t you ever played a religious satire slice of life black comedy psychological character drama horror porn game before? Come on man
Why am I seeing this as the literal translation of an Eroge/VN title?
Slight change to "I can't believe my little sister likes religious satire slice of life black comedy psychological character drama horror porn games!!" and you have a light novel title.
