Well, it seems, feels and i'm pretty sure IS pretty clear everyone has thoroughly stated every theory that can realistically be made with the information at hand now so this thread is just deeeeeeeead except for little bips and beeps. It does make me think though, Selly is going to have to start revealing the proper turth behind the story soon enough, cause at this point all the major pieces are in place, most of the minor ones are either in place, resolved or just stuck treading water until the reveals start coming in and collectively that puts the story in about the same place, treading water, i'm just not seeing much room left for more smoke and mirrors to take place without it just feeling like things are completely stalled and that he's deliberately dragging things out. If shit doesn't really start to pop off by the end of chapter 3 then i'm actually going to get even more worried that we'll find ourselves in a 'Lost' situation where no kind of reveal will ever have a chance to reach the heights of our expectations leading to at best a mild nod of 'cool, so it was that then' and at worst 'wtf... that's it!? LAME'.
I agree, my biggest problem with this game is the pacing and Chapter 3 has been looking more promising in that regard but lately it has been slowing down again, I really hope things pick up soon because there is no excuse for being 2M+ words into a story and still being in the set up phase, we need to start actually building up for some climaxes and pay offs at least. I really hope his plan isn't to start revealing stuff only in the Dark Route. Few things bother me more than a mystery narrative that sticks to just teasing the reader in a way that overstays its welcome and doesn't really contribute much, it kills your investment and interest in the answers.

I get the feeling that Sel would be too proud of his vision to change it, just because someone saw it coming.

I do think he'd go out of his way to troll people who think they know what's going to happen though. Hence the whole Psycho Ami stuff recently. I feel like that has been set up since the beginning, and was always a red herring. I'm sure there's plenty of things in this designed to make the reader think something will happen, so that they are less likely to figure out what actually will happen, while giving Sel a way to have fun teasing them about it.

The game has also seemed to claim that the pieces won't quite fit, and that it's plausible that what we've been told were lies anyway. The Narrators themselves aren't exactly trustworthy, so nothing we've been told in game is even reliable. Then again neither is anything we see or hear in game either. To be honest, Sel can pretty much go anywhere at this point and make it make sense, because anything can make sense under these conditions.
Yeah, and that's exactly why I think it's due time we start receiving some actual trustworthy information for a ground to build on. No matter how brilliant the answers are, if they only work because the information we've been given is false it will just be cheap and unfair writing imo, like at least it should be possible to figure out which information is trustworthy and which isn't for a basic start, that way it would be a fair contest between the reader and the writer (this is what Umineko taught me). Sel constantly complains about fans misinterpreting his hints or overanalyzing where it isn't needed but he honestly dug that grave for himself by being all over the place and constantly stating how nothing is what it seems.

I've updated that post so there's more stuff to see.

The 0.34 update events breakdown would be in an older post.

If you think the thread is lacking stuff to discuss now, just wait till next update also doesn't reveal anything particularly revolutionary and Sel then proceeds to take his Christmas break. Better start prepping some more surveys.

So, Random Question Time, do you think Noriko is "real" or not?

There's been a few times where Sensei has alluded to her feeling too perfect to be real, but what really makes me suspicious is her apparently being a naturally pink haired humanoid:

Which could just be how this universe works, but as far as I recall, she's the only character with unnatural hair that has been confirmed to be natural (besides perhaps her sister based off context).

We've also been advised that Niki might be a shapeshifter:

So, both the Nakayamas might not be "real".

so there no compress vers?? because i already search in tool search, it doesn`t help at all
There's the previous version:
Lessons in Love [v0.32.0] [Selebus] Compressed

PC/Mac(~2.69GB)
:
Pixel

Tool:UAGC
You can then add the current .33
update, such as this:

to the compressed .32 version.

If you're planning on using Joiplay, then you might have to make a folder within the Events folder also called Events and place the new Events images there, then switch the folders to give the game the ability to load them as they occur. It's manageable, but annoying. So, I guess take that into account depending on what you're using.

Ah, is that the problem? I was wondering why the compressed version stopped working for me.

For some reason this game is the only Ren'py game on this site that still runs on my old tablet without crashing, which I suppose might be due to memory problems or something like that. I'm hoping that using the compressed version will delay me losing my saves for as long as possible (since trying to transfer my Joiplay saves to a Windows installation didn't seem to work).

Possibly. The number of images within the Events folder has exceeded the capacity that Android files can hold, so, you can't really add all the new event images to the Events folder. I managed to just make another Events folder, put the new ones in it, then switched them to play the recent update.

It's worked so far:

There's a big part of me that is really scared about where this story is going and that part of me wants to just keep hanging out with these characters in this pre-dark route phase forever even if the plot never goes anywhere.

She is still struggling with her weight and bulimia issues(mentioned in last up date) and seem to have gotten out of hand
There's also how she knows for sure that Sensei's a slut, now, so I'm sure that's not helping her with her insecurity issues.

Futaba hinted at this during the Nodoka massage:

So, I just hope Futaba isn't the next to pull a Makoto.

You know, I wonder how many girls will commit suicide due to Sensei, before this game is over...

Niki almost did, Makoto did, Maya might have, based off the hanging stuff:

Futaba feels like she's getting there, and Chika might if she finds out Sensei's been slutting it up. Ami probably would if he abandons her.

I also gotta say, even though I'm literally talking about it, I wouldn't have seen it coming if Futaba suddenly does something like kill Imani because she's getting close to Sensei.

I mean, I could easily imagine something Yandere-ish going on here:
You don't have permission to view the spoiler content. Log in or register now.
Except for the fact it's, you know, Futaba... Albeit, thinking she's not the crazy one, might just be what I've been led to think..

Maybe Psycho Futaba was the real threat this whole time, and finding out Sensei is seeing others is the trigger? Futaba does seem, for whatever reason, related to the Upside Down House stuff, so there's likely something going on with her.
