ITS OUR DESTINY
Seriously though, the way I understand the "planned routes map" you HAVE to go through the "dark route" before getting to the "true route"
And THEN we will get the optional purity routes where we focus on one girl and making her happy. At least this is how I understood the explanation. Could be wrong.
Dark route aside, I am convinced that the "true route" will also be bitter-sweet at most.
Hell, I am pretty afraid of the purity routes having an ending of "and were HAPPY forever after" which is a really scary implication in this setting.
And I am also sure even the "true route" won't be harem at all. Which is weird, because the threesomes were confirmed by Selebus, but I just can't shake off that feel.
Yes, there will only be this route, the dark route, at first. You're right, this essentially being a Denpa game means there will likely be no true happiness, the happiest being bittersweet at best. Of course, he could also make it a 'happy' ending. (Those who have read my previous comments since day one can probably figure out that happy in single quotes means happy in the same way as the event type). I bet that would freak half the player base out at least considering an ending like that would have to be one hell of a bang to go out on.
Pretty sure there will be harem options or else it wouldn't make sense to be able to pursue more than one girl into their lust path, which you can already do to an extent, plus the confirmed threesomes.
As for taking an L, dark route is still a W, an L is getting myself blocked off at some point with any girl, meaning an event got turned red. I don't consider my original run an L yet because I never got it up to the point of losing Rin to my own error and saving after the event turns red even though I am saved passed the point of recovering from it at this point. I only count an L if the event has been turned red.
Nyando Yes
you're missing the point, i'm in the same boat, just those events left, but can't move on, weeks have gone by in game and they're not triggering
Have you checked your 'happy' scenes as well, literally every event must be done. There's also the possibility it only triggers on a certain amount of days or more.
