I have to say that Where the Sidewalk Ends was one of my favorite things to read when I was a wee youngin'.

Friendly Passerby: "Hey buddy, looks like you took a nasty trip there, you okay? Lemme help you out real quick, and you'll be right as rain. So uh, what happened there?"

Person that isn't Sensei: "I just wanted to see what it was like to crater into the ground, so I found somewhere I could hit terminal velocity."

FP: "Well buddy, watch out, because you might land on someone, and then there'd be two bodies needing theri bones pushed back in."

PtiS: "I'll be sure to give people a heads-up before I hit the ground."

*both laugh hysterically*

Several times playing this game I have desperately, *desperately*, wanted to take control of Sensei, and make him say or do something I did not have the option for (or had no options to do anything at all at the time, which is even more common). This recent update had so many of them. I hope very much that somewhere at the end of the game, in the eons it will take us to get to the "true end" that somehow, somehow, all the girls end up with good happy lives, because they all damn well deserve it as far as I can tell.

just realized, that the psychological element in this game made it feel like Doki doki literature club.

Hopefully it doesn't end the same way.

They're both the same genre of game, denpa. I wouldn't go expecting a happy ending if I were you.

Well, I just choked on my own spit from laughter after "Uptown Girl". Sensei just calling Niki like that almost literally killed me. I can't wait until the next Niki event to see her reaction firsthand.

The rest of the update was quite a mix between heartwarming and foreboding, though. You can definitely see the signs of this whole "route" crashing in tears, but with it picking up speed as it does now, it's at least going to be spectacular. Nice to see Sensei getting closer to problems and mysteries of the world in general and Maya in particular, too, even if he is rapidly losing control over himself.

The plot between Noriko and Maya thickens, and I get the feeling the latter was really hurt by it. I wonder if Niki couldn't be a more neutral source of information about the past, though. Maya doesn't seem to have so adverse a reaction to her, and you would think that supposedly girlfriend would know more about whaterver happened.

I sure hope that Niki will act as some sort of anchor for Noriko, Maya and also Sensei but given the kind of game we are playing and what sadistic person Sel is.... Not a chance.

Truth be told, I absolutely love the update and especially I love Noriko since her introduction (maybe even surpassing Maya who I know is sacrificing a lot just to protect Sensei).
But Noriko will be the absolutely adorable, cute and highly interesting cause for everything to start burning down. And she'll do it with an irresistible smile...
I sure do hope that Sel doesn't hurt or worse kill Maya in the process (the new poster of her does give me terrible vibes, the bed resembles a coffin and that is not exactly reassuring) but if anyone assumed that this story will have a happy ending (anytime soon), they have not been paying attention.

It sure will be a hell of a ride though. Also a ride to hell, I guess, but it will be very enjoyable to witness. And terrifying. Mostly just terrifying actually...


Why am I loving this game so much again?!
