Yeah I know what you mean. The audio balance seems so uneven at times. I get that the jump scares from certain sounds are an integral part of the game design but some cues vary wildly in volume for what appears to be no real reason. Or at least they do to my ears.

No. However a threesome with Rin and Chika was teased, and Rin should be prominent in the next update.
I effin wish. This game needs more anal sex, besides black out forced anal. Hoping Noriko will become a butt slut.
anyone else find imani's backstory so far really weird and out of place considering everyone else's?
immigrant from africa, and one of the poorest countries in west africa too. and was able to get into a country like japan that pretty much hates immigrants, especially poor non-asian ones.
tsunyo being part egyptian? kind of threw me off but nothing stops people from leaving japan and bringing a new spouse back with them.
Imani has burn scars, behaves like an american teenager/college student, very out spoken. personality just doesnt seem to mesh with her cultural background at all.

I think Imani's character is about feeling out of place. (Ironically Imani can even mean "Belief' or "Faith")
Technically, tho, she's mixed, so I think she's biologically half Japanese, and she also had to give up her other citizenship, so now she's 100% Japanese legally. The burn scars also might be because of racism for all we know, and her personality reminds me of someone partially delirious, as if they are trying to distract themselves 24/7 to avoid getting depressed (like most Americans, tbh), which is probably a coping mechanism for her.
Overall, her manic personality seems natural based off what little we know of her, to me, and her background doesn't seem to be that big of a deal to her, hence her saying she's from Wales or Alabama before.

True, but he's doing all this in Renpy. It's a bear-bones engine, even for visual novels. If you want puzzles that aren't just typing stuff in, he'd have to port the entire game over to a new system like Unity or something. I'm sure he's doing the best that he can with the tools at his disposal.

Not really, he can do other types of puzzles in renpy if he wants, it all depends on the effort he is willing to spend on a puzzle, see Being a DIK for example, it's also a renpy game, but it has a turn based combat game, mouse maze, basketball hoop, tennis, pancake flipping, mansion repair planner and party planner complete with perks, and from the preview of next episode it will also have a beer pong mini game. The system is not an excuse for the barebone puzzles.
I've found the most degenerate thing on this site. You, mi amigo, need a personal tag.
Does this game really need puzzles at all? Akira needing to solve non-riddles to open his front door is the least engrossing part of this game.
Good Uncle Route seems to bring the best out of Ami's 'yandere' personality. I wonder if it entails what kind of person Sekai was. Well, Ami was certainly not a shotacon and more like the opposite.

Sensei is facing a world that alters, modifies, and removes memory on top of other things, which has also reset other versions of himself that failed to make it to the rooftop. The puzzles requiring the player to remember and pay attention in order to get to the rooftop seem rather fitting.
Sensei is literally fighting for control over his sentience half of the time, and when the puzzles come up, they are like the boss battles that Sensei has to face to continue being himself. In other words if you can't solve them then it's the end for him, and Maya will have to deal with another Sensei until he gets to the same point. (So even restarting the game makes sense lore wise.)

Is it just me or does the word shotacon sound like the name of a Transformers group like the Constructicons or the Stunticons
Sure I get the logic behind the puzzles, I just don't think it works that way in practice. I can feel the emotions of the characters in other events just fine, without any ludonarrative mechanics. But for reset events I don't feel Sensei's confusion or frustration, I just feel my own. And even that just slips into boredom pretty quickly. The puzzles take me out of the story to scour past events for specific bits of text until I realize that's a waste of time and just search for the answers.
Or rather just beg the forum for answers and hope the next green arrow is finally large enough to guide me.

Ami is more like an Unclecon, tbh.
I do think Sensei is the most similar character to Sekai though. Both have rather depraved interests, on top of liking poetry, and being a teacher. She definitely "inspired" him.
It's more like that she 'influenced' him. Although it'd make sense to use 'inspire' since he turned out to be a great writer/poet. Perhaps Sekai wanted him to be more like 'her' and eventually guided him to the same path. It can be a part of her grooming/manipulating Akira.

The way you feel is how Sensei is feeling except his mind is also degenerated. During the puzzles, Sensei gets confused, frustrated, and bored as well. He can even just decide to jerk himself off to death instead of finding a way out at one point. Overall, It is supposed to be confusing, frustrating, and unpleasant if you haven't been paying attention to the game, like a challenging boss battle.
Also I recommend just screenshotting things that seem notable. Like when he mentioned his password or when the game tells you to remember or write things down. I've never found the puzzles all that difficult, tbh. At least after realizing there were puzzles. At most, the Ip address was annoying, but it fits the whole User 1 and User 2 lore, and you get it right before the puzzles start if I recall. Other stuff like the recent puzzle for Noriko literally asks you to type Dirt backwards or User 1 more like Loser 1.

Automatic restart of the game when ami gets fed up with her uncle not giving her the D and giving it to everyone else. I'm in the 99% positive area of this entire thing revolving around ami, her whims, and what she wants. And she wants her uncle to change and love her and only her.
Edit.
Also if you replay the very start its comes off overly creepy how ami pretty much gaslights you with your personal info and ignores anything is wrong with you, at least within context of knowing everything about her and the level of stalkerish devotion she has for sensei.
