You registered just to say this. Incrediblefuck this game
I am unbelievably hard right now. Did I just not notice all the yuri tension in this game before or this a new thing? Besides the obvious raging bisexual I mean. Also... Feeeeeeeeeet!!!!You don't have permission to view the spoiler content. Log in or register now.

yeah I'm not reading all thatThe moment you start thinking about "proper game design," "immersion," etc you've already lost because you're on the completely wrong track. It is blindingly obvious that the purpose of the puzzles is not to provide a fun and engaging experience. They reflect that fact that the further one goes into Lessons in Love, the more the world rejects the player (this goes for both the literal player and Sensei). It becomes increasingly hard to progress, increasingly unfun, increasingly grindy - it would be reductive to state there is only one ludonarrative purpose for this, but that is the design. The artistic purpose. It is an experience the developer is attempting to convey through mechanic. It is axiomatic to say that "video games should be fun," "puzzles should test innovative thinking," etc, which is to say that they are not fundamental truths - they are platitudes liable to become thought-terminating cliches. Looking at systems clearly designed to reject the player and make their life difficult then complaining about how they aren't fun enough is so foolish I balk that one so invested in the story and theory-crafting would be so blind to this point. Let us examine once again Moby Dick.

In chapter 32 there is a lengthy chapter devoted to the physiology of whales. This is a highly dull chapter to read and a well-known roadblock for prospective readers of the work (yet I must explain it in detail here because it is dubious whether any poster in this thread has ready even such a fundamental cornerstone a literature such as Moby Dick). However, in this context of literature removed from "a porn game that should be fun and get my pee pee hard," we see immediately how foolish it would be to critique it from a lens as those critiquing SENSEI QUEST and other resets are. Can you imagine going to Melville and saying, good sir, it is all well and good that you wish your novel to be a testimony to every aspect of whales from the physical aspects of their being to the mythological image they come to represent, but this chapter was quite dull! Could you not make it a bit more fun and exciting? In fact, quite a few of your chapters could be shaved down, let's have more action scenes and whale hunting, you would really get more readers that way! It is rather obnoxious that you should even think to force me to read some boring chapter on whales when I can in fact simply flip the pages! Do you not know I will just flip the pages? You are not listening to me sir, I am telling you to make your novel more fun for me!
It really is just that simple: think, for one moment, the purpose. Now, it is entirely fair if you look at Lessons in Love rejecting the player and making it increasingly hard/unpleasant to make progress as a foolish thing. Some people think whales are dumb. However, this is not what is happening. The angle of attack is so completely off base it's like one is seeing reality on an entirely different level. Like one's mind is so boxed in by platitudes that any time something isn't fun and satisfying their every urge for what they want it to be that the entire world starts to seem wrong. How can one profess themselves to be a deep thinker, a lover of thought and figuring things out, so proud of each theory and confirmed idea, if such basic mental walls blind them so deeply? Such that they look upon a rock and see a mountain, or they look upon a mountain and see a rock? You really think for one fucking second the puzzles are meant to be fun tests of knowledge? You really think they contain anything but spite and hostility? You really think this is supposed to be a good time? You really think that 'all media must be fun' is a God-like axiom that subsumes all other purposes one may have? What? WHAT???????????? The populace is rendered infants before the most basic and blunt artistic purpose which itself is literally stated directly over and over. Shocking! Nothing really is beautiful!
Just travel few pages back hereDoes anyone have a guide on how to go through a puzzle?
Ah, nostalgia, my very first comment was to refute + confirm some information about Ami. Maya as well do that again. There were a lot of hints that Ami knew, not only about Maya tho, about the fact there are others too. Sel is a fantastic writer, but even he is restricted by the fact that he is not a professional writer. Some of these "hints" are far too obvious to miss, some on purpose, others not so much. She knew in case of Maya or at the very least heavily suspected her, to such level that it may as well have been a confirmed suspicion. It is not retcon, no idea about "gets sent back" shit probably new update stuff, but Ami knowing about Maya is not a retcon, it was there from the beginning. Edit: In early updates her reaction to possibility of Sensei betraying her were more on the line of "deep down I always knew, but never wanted to admit it" kind of stuff or "I always knew, but never wanted to accept it" stuff, but it was never "I never knew".You don't have permission to view the spoiler content.

If you add the URM file (my signature) to the /game folder in the LiL folder you can easily use it to see the variants to scenes yourself, a little tag pops up when there's a flag or variable check. Takes 2 seconds to install and use. As to answering your question, it's a somewhat sadder scene, but it doesn't punch you in the gut, just cuts different, her take on how things went down and what comes next is simply not as touching as the other version.I am horrified and disgusted in myself for needing to ask...You don't have permission to view the spoiler content.

If you decided to leave, she says she's in love with you and wants to get married with you immediately even though she finds marriage stupid and that she's finally being seen as a human and doesn't know how to react, you get +50 affection when the event ends if I remember.I am horrified and disgusted in myself for needing to ask...You don't have permission to view the spoiler content.

This is the update that has me thinking, either:Sekai in the past and Sekai now seem like completely different people personality wise.
THere's a text document linked in the main page with all the puzzle solutions. It gets updated within 24 hours of anew puzzle being added, usually.Does anyone have a guide on how to go through a puzzle?
Flashback Sekai was a whole person. Flawed, has a dark side, but also full of hopes and dreams and the capacity to love.Sekai in the past and Sekai now seem like completely different people personality wise.
Every time he puts on Good Kids I'm just reminded of how he fumbled the bag so hard with these, all he had to do was take the Pox song and just have it be instrumental instead of the version with lyrics and it could've made for some great scenes if he used it right.Also on a side note: The party scenes where Good Kid was playing made me realize once more that those songs clash with having to read text and being able to process them properly, it's just too distracting. Even though that particular song wasn't that bad.
In fact, I actually really liked the 8bit version in Sensei Quest. Call me a filthy millennial, but it was a bop.
So in conclusion, I like their music. It just doesn't always fit unfortunately.
