Not sure if you're aware, but that implies Maya is the cause of them or is at least involved in their triggering, but so far, we don't have much connecting her to them beyond the same 'involved bystander' status player Sensei has. They both know about them, Maya more than player Sensei and definitely more than she lets on, but I can't yet see her being involved in them any further than player Sensei.
She literally says she's involved in the process of the reset. In "Reset," she says "I'm going to reset the world." She then clarifies during the first beach: "I'm not the one resetting anything. I'm just asking someone else to do it. And it's not like I can do it whenever or however I want either."
To be fair, if I see things getting undone, I typically see it as a reset. Considering that she is not the one doing the process of resetting the world herself, I would say it can be done without her being there as long as whoever is doing it goes through the reset process. I'm going to have to go back, things are getting fuzzy in my memory and that's going to hurt, if not end, my run if another puzzle that uses information from other events pops up.
I think you have to bear in mind that the school roof is very much a trope in Japanese media - important stuff always seems to happen on them. There is absolutely no way on Earth that Selebus is not aware of that trope and I suspect it is not unreaonable to believe he is doing it deliberately.That school roof is pretty weird:
- Resets
- Blujay
- Baby Finches -
I'm positive that's the beginning of the game- Ayane in the reset
Unless you are feeding your starving children on adult VNs, there is no necessity about it.
I think that 'happy' scene goes further back than that considering how much more positive it seems than some of the others, I'd say before the game even.That school roof is pretty weird:
- Resets
- Blujay
- Baby Finches -
I'm positive that's the beginning of the game- Ayane in the reset
Contrary to the trope, not that many.
Not necessity as in I absolutely have to do it, you're right, there is no necessity in the traditional sense of the word. What I mean by that is I only do it when there is no other option open to me that allows me to get the game, such as 99% of all Illusion games, including the one this game was made using the studio of back when I got said game. When I got it, there was no Steam version, it was available ONLY in Japan, so piracy was the only option that allowed me to play it.
Based on what Selebus've said previousely, he's gunning for 22-23 or so endings.
That would fit with 20 Characters and a few extra endings.
He called character-focused routes "purity routes", I can't imagine them having bad ending. Maybe it will be neutral-status-quo kind of thing. Sensei will remain in this world, but time loops stop as he grows outside of his box and moves forward in live with chosen girl.
I think in this context purity means "you are only pursuing one character and only getting events about them," i.e. a purely [X] route. Not that they are immune to ending tragically. (For instance, I find it hard to imagine a Sensei/Ami ending that isn't fundamentally tragic.)
Fair enough. I still think that routes where Sensei isn't fucking around and focuses on one girl won't have a tragic ending. Neutral or standoffish at most. Drama will most likely come from making wrong turns and going off chosen route.
Maybe stumbling on her route is only possible by not engaging with her sexually. Eventually, she's overcome her obsesion and come in terms with her parents death.
So it's eternity then.
The purity path, and the choice point that sets you down them, happen after the dark path is concluded. At that point, it will be very clear that you have to pick one girl to pursue and see her path through. IIRC, Selebus has mentioned that once that path is concluded, the game will take you pack to the choice point so you can pick another girl. I can't recall if he said there would be a "true" ending once all the purity endings are seen.
And how will everyone be happy if in that world Sensei - the only opportunity for a happy life?
If you've completed all the 20p1 content, it should kick off automatically on Friday.
That would be insane...and I love it.
Given the genre of the game, I have to agree with Moodle. Under ABSOLUTELY NO CIRCUMSTANCES should we think purity means anything positive given what has already been presented and what is yet to come lest we want to be taken off guard in the ways we already have been on multiple occasions, but more severely. That way, IF it actually does mean something positive, we can be surprised in a less 'happy' way about it.
Sensei...becoming a good person?
Yeah, no, I don't see that happening.I do believe he has mentioned a true route before as well, likely to be locked behind all other endings as usual.
