It's good that you have people to share this game with, if I recommended this to my friends I would probably be admitted to the hospital forever :)

Maybe in 10 or 20 years this game will turn from hidden gem and treasure to a very popular story that many people will take inspiration from, eh? Then we will have a very proud bragging rights that we will flaunt and talk about "muh good old days before rework". God knows I already annoy some of my friends with making them play this game. I intend to share this story with every close person or friend I can trust, so one day I will be like "Back in my day I had to wait every month and before that every 2 weeks for an update". Life can be a dream

I just now realised something. Pretty much most of the remaining commentators here are either "old guard" or people who followed this game for a very long time, but did not participate in the discussion until now. Even some "old guard" members that I used to see around here maybe 1-2 years ago don't participate anymore. This thread and more importantly this story needs new blood and followers in my opinion. I have a few ideas on that front and I am 80% sure that I can recommend this game to about 40 people I know without them thinking I am insane. Gonna do just that. Will return to this comment half a year later if I dont wind up in jail(playing games like this legit can get you in jail and security servises will actually get your ass if they find out). Gonna recommend it to my future brothers in arms as well if I find them trustworthy. Do your part in keeping this story alive

Well hey, I'm a pretty new commenter! Discovered the game a couple months ago and am completely hooked. Tbh, between here and the official Discord server, this seemed like the better option. The people here on this thread seem pretty easygoing and super invested in the game, so it only made sense.

Yeah, I wish I had friends I could talk about this game with too, honestly. But as you said, it can be difficult.

Glad that you found this game then, especially if its been only a couple months ago. Ever since the unofficial sanctions took effect this thread have been a little secluded island away from general public. One day this will change I am sure of it, until then and even after that, happy to have you here

I have a different opinion here.
I don't think it's about Akira abusing Maya, they are more like bound by the same experience.
I don't remember the exact event(s), but something was narrated that seems to tie to Maya:
"A girl being sexually abused by a distant relative" (PeekABoo event"?)

I think Akira and Maya had that abuse stuff in common, that's why they bonded and fell for each other, dispite the age gap.
Maya even states that they are both fucked up, like mentally.

I don't disagree there, in fact it's a big part of my theory that both were abused by Nozomu (who might even be Maya's father) and bonded over that trauma. However that still wouldn't change that Akira groomed and sexually abused her, even if from her perspective it was consentual.

With the ending talks going on I was thinking I am somewhat disappointed that there will be no harem endings. Don't get me wrong, I very much look forward to Maya, Niki, and other purity routes but I hope there are some throuple/group endings. I could see a Io/Uta ending.

Do you think there will be purity routes that include more that one girl?

All this talks of Osako insecurity, all of her reassurences that she is 100% lesbian, all the small spots of jealously, Wakana refusal to betray her trust or consider "free" relationship, Osako asking Akira not to go after Wakana and telling to him that she fears the scenario were Wakana leaves her for someone. All of that, just for her to be one who cracks first. Such amusing irony. Now I have unreasonable and self made hype that things will turn out that way
Click to expand...
This is how insecurities work: if you are so afraid of being left alone, you might consider adultery as a backup plan. IMO it does not work so, because expecting a person you are in adultery with to be a backup exclusive partner is an absrurd. I think it is quite common nevertheless, because people with Osako level of insecurity/codependency are not entirely sane.

Couldn’t be me lol. With the puzzles I usually look at the script if I’m super stumped. And with the saves I always keep backups just in case of DRM shenanigans.

Save scavengers are a pretty annoying problem in other forums too, so I get it trust me. :ROFLMAO:

I found the initial reason. It's called <script. rpy> 's file was somehow cleared, resulting in a“Global name' ami' is not defined” error. But I still don't know why it was emptied.

Regarding the "What you need to survive a reset" stuff (Aka becoming a member of the RAS (Rooftop Apocalypse Squad))"

Theories are condensing towards, that Akira has to impregnate girls, and other things, to make girls "survive" a reset.
That seems to be true, regarding at least Ayane and maybe Maya, but with Makoto i'm not so sure.

Akira might have had unsafe sex with Maya offscreen before game start (might be where all Maya alterations come from like Moyo).
Iirc he came inside Ayane on several occasions (ingame), hence her pregnancy.
Makoto is special, because, as far as i remember thoughout all "visit dorm"/"call over" events, he never cums inside her.
With one excaption being "The White Oak Door", where Makoto semi rapes Akira.

Though, "The White Oak Door" is an optional event. Meaning, it's missable.
The last update (.36?) even had a branch, checking (pseudocode) whiteoakdoor == true, which would lead to two different sentences by a narrator like:
"blah blah, and she already raped someone once" - whiteoakdoor == true, and
"blah blah, but she never raped someone" - whiteoakdoor == false

As i said sometime before, maybe Akira and Makoto had unsafe sex somewhere offscreen.
But regarding the flag, at least it isn't tied to "The White Oak door".
Sel seems to emphasise it's not related to "The White Oak door", or even never happened.

So unless Akira and Makoto did something offscreen, pregnancy seems to be off the list.
With "List" being interesting.
I think it was during chp1?, we had a corkboard with checkmarks.
One checkmark (afair) was for "bad uncle".
Maybe those checkmarks are related to who makes it to the rooftop?

/e
Or maybe there are no prerequisites to make it to the roof. Or there are but in the end a "God/god" has the last saying.
Maybe the "Gods/gods" ultimatley decide who makes it to the roof (survives resets), in some kind of twisted game.

Sounds like you installed a "Care Package (CP/Cheese Pizza)" in your game directory and got fucked.
"DRM" blah, clears your script.rpy afaik, as soon as you go online.
