Ren'Py Lessons in Love [v0.46.0] [Selebus]

[PhiloPhilo]

So because my theories lately have been going around in circles i decided to watch some of the happy events and whatnot and i reached the event where we escape from our room.I wonder.Why was Sanna the one to come to us and not someone like Ami,ayane Niki noriko or Maya.Like Ami would KILL for us(she has in past cycles).Its truly curious.And Sensei talked to sana about this dream of his and it was kinda glossed over BUT i hope that it will be further developed in the future.Anyways my question is this.Why do you guys think was the reason why it was Sana that visited us?

I personally think Sana and possibly Sara still have a lot of important story coming, considering their visions and seemingly being affected. I'm sure others have more to say about that, but I feel like that's looming in the background and Sana is more important than we realize yet. Enter deep speculation on the connection there here.

Failing that, Sana is one of the girls Akira had less sexual contact with / has taken the longest, and has mostly been in the friend role or the "fix each other" role. Hell, for a while she was more of a "niece" than Ami, considering he was looking after her and trying to help her better herself, but wasn't fucking her. So maybe Ami got compartmentalized, and Sana grown-up filled that role? I think it fits.

I had another train of thought, but I am a fucking moron, so I have lost it. Something about how she appeared right before he snapped out of it was in there somewhere. I'll edit if I remember what I was going to say

As for in-narrative reasons, we're still in a part of chapter 4 where the focus is on Akira dealing with Maya stuff, but if you remember, chapter 3 was centered around Ayane and even Himawari stuff after a certain point. So it could be that we simply haven't got to the Sana stuff yet.

As for it making sense in chapter 3, well, Sana was saved by Pareidolia, and she was the last one Akira got together with before the reset (that was a new girl). Maybe I'm missing something, but I feel like that's enough.

It seemed like Pareidolia at least knew it was going to happen, as to it being his plan I don't know if that's enough confirmation.

However not necessarily knowing that it would happen makes it his plan. Since Himawari possibly knew about it as well.

All of that being said, Pareidolia implies that it was him, yes.

As I said, I'm also curious as to who has access/made the replica of heaven for Maya Prime, and if every girl has one or is it just her as well.

>The place where Maya Prime went
I believe that the thing that made Maya Primes heaven is something that we are still unaware off.Because lets think about it like this.Realistically most of the beings here could achieve something similar to what we have rn if they really wanted to.But would they?No.So lets examine each case.

>Hope
I think it doesnt have to be said but while Hope has his own world he has NO reason to create a heaven for Maya prime especially since he is so unhealthily obsessed with Akira.

>(Best Boy)Wires
Tbh Wires is the most probable being that could do this for Maya but i wouldnt bet on it,since Wires is busy helping us NOT break everything around us(Something that Sekai and Pareidola are advocating for)

>Pareidola
Fuck this guy.In all seriousness though no.From the moment this fucker appeared he has tormented Akira,pushed for the corruption and destruction of everyone around him and is generally my most hated god.Fucker even taunted us when Maya reset smh.

Im prolly missing some stuff like Tree or the 3 gods but as i said we know nothing about them so ima leave it stew.My pint though is this.From the very little stuff we DO know no one(except again maybe wires) would create this plane for Maya prime(Except maybe the God she prayed all this time to reset the world)

Hmm perhaps it is.I get that each chapter focuses on a different girl but its still somewhat weird.Oh well.I swear though if there isnt a Yumi focused chapter i will be sad

 

[Pedro4545454]

I think you're forgetting that that Sana wasn't Sana, Akira was just seeing her like that, because in fact that Sana was Maya. What happened there was the same thing that happened at Ami's event where Akira had sex with Ami thinking she was Maya.

I wouldn't be so sure if that was Sana.
The problem here is that Sel was reusing KK models for various girls. Either intentionally or maybe he just thought "cute".

Akira was already seeing Ami as Maya prior, so it's not so far to assume that it was Ami cosplaying Sana in the "Times New Roman" stuff.
Ami wanted Akira for herself all alone.
We also have the body outline on the floor, and probably Ami's dead body nailed to the wall.
My guess would be that Ami tried to infuse feelings of guilt into Akira.

At the same time she might have played the role of Sana, to have her refuge with Akira, while he did not realise it was Ami.

Koi cafe, morning, IIRC. Don't know if it's a specific day, might just be weekend or something

Looks like it's Saturday morning, Koi Cafe, Haruka, Hang out.
Thank you.

Sana wasn't actually there, but she was the person he saw, or the model was similar. Which means that his mind put her there, or whomever was controlling what he saw in his mind did. Or you could subscribe to the theory that his mind was in another "place" (during some blackouts like that one) akin to the copy of heaven Mymy is in now or something similar — which opens up a huge can of worms. I don't know how many people think that, at least for this instance, I'll shelve that for now. But then the question is why. Just fun to think about. I'm like 95% certain Sana will be very important in the future and might tie into more than we know now. I'm 100% certain I'm still a fucking moron though, and I can't find the train of thought I lost earlier. Might come back to it later with more thoughts.

Water over the bridge

Under*, water over the bridge is a big problem, water under it is business as usual.

It's Yuki we're talking about. Her bridge has been underwater for a long time now

Fixed it, thanks.

There is one thing that bothers me about the Sana/Pareidolia situation, and that is related to Sara. Just what does this even mean?

NAO's embracing the same thing.

In fact, DeSkel15, have we ever found out who was the narrator for "ad infinitum" before Pareidolia showed up?

To finish on a good note though, Himawari is such an ass: (and this event also might explain the older Sana thing)

He also sees Ayane during the reset sequence and she was never there - we still don't know who that was.

I don't know her intentions there, if she even existed, what would happen if she stalled Akira longer? Would Maya have been spared? Or would he simply have missed her being factory reset?

As a person who has just started playing this game, right? What on earth are all these theories I keep finding in the comments section of this game? Like reading some of them makes me feel like watching Interstellar Part Two or something. I thought this was just your run of the mill porn game with a school setting or something. Can someone explain just what on earth is going on with this game, but in like... short? Thanks!

You play as a dude that doesn't know who he is and thinks that he has taken hold of another dude's body. Assuming this is all some kind of game, he sets forward trying to have sex with many girls.

But he keeps getting these visions and weird stuff happens to his head, which makes him question if this is all really a game and who he was in the first place.

From then onwards, it basically circles around the "what is this place" and "who am i", it just gets progressively more complicated as the game moves forward.

You don't need to understand all the weird stuff on your first playthrough, just play it. If you become interested in that side of things, we can help you, or you can just replay.

I definitely don't recommend reading this thread for lore until you've fully caught up. There's a puzzle guide on the first page, use that and the search bar liberally because this game is a fucking mess.
Welcome in, and don't forget to smile

Think of this as a horror mystery game with some porn in it rather than a porn game with horror in it. If that still interests you then jump in and come back to the forum when you're through all the spoilery bits.

If this game could be easily summed up in a paragraph we wouldn't have 40000 comments here.

 

[LessonsInDissonance]

THEY ARE NOT REAL
THEIR FEELINGS ARE FAKE
ONLY AYANE LOVES AKIRA FOR REAL

 

[Moonflare]

Pretty sure it can be summed up in a single image of Akira's big penis Or Himawari's double cock I suppose, depending on the user's preferences.

Hmm I see; I can see two ways of interpreting what Pareidolia said during the 6th reset though.

Strictly speaking, else alone just means losing Prime Maya is solidly confirmed. To me his statement is somewhere between "Do I need to take something else from you again" and "Do I need to take something else from you as well"; if the former is true then it's Pareidolia who took away Maya Prime, if the latter is true then it's another god, but I honestly cannot make up my mind whether which end is more possible anymore.

Edit: Sensei himself believes to be Pareidolia that took her though.

I'll take a short line from the latest update that might partly summarize the game. Whether it will make any sense to you, I can't say... well... it probably wont.

"O, terrible danger. O, big penis sex. O, world and its whirlpool. O, mole ratted necks."
"O, poetry, pottery, lottery, Shrek. O, rhyming - O, timing - On Dasher, On Deck!"
