What I meant was how Maya learnt about Sekai instead of knowing her personally, if this is what confused you. Maya may have learnt about Sekai on a rather detailed level by being the witness to him talking to hallucinations, as I bet Akira did not have what it takes to talk about any of it, not now, not then.

But does Maya know Sekai personally?
Maya for sure acknowledges her as more than Ami's mom, but I don't see a chronologically reasonable way for them to meet (assuming both of them are and have always been plain human beings).

IIRC the only piece of material that has Sekai "directly" interacting with Maya is in Something Everyone Knows and Ignores, where Sekai can be seen being very toxic to toddler Maya. But I really don't know how many things you can extract from happy events and interpret them literally, so I'll put a pin in it.

Fyi lads, the next release being 01/01/24 also lands perfectly on Maya's birthday. Just some food for thoughts.

If Sel is evil enough the next update may "force" Sensei to celebrate her birthday with a chipper Maya; see if this can torture him more.
(goddamnit I'm a little sad again...)

The entire event chain autoplays I think during weekend once you have finished every event prior to v0.35. Check every girl's events and see if you miss any (think I saw people saying one of Io's events managed to stay not finished undetected)

Ok thank you. The S.e.k.a.i. event i remember. Also that she mentioned being the 3rd in Akiras line of girlfriends or whatever.
I thought maybe i forgot a scene where she talks about Sekai, like what a bitch or bad she was or something.

So, what does everyone think about what has been seemingly confirmed about the Accident in the last update?:

Good call. Some time ago I made a post where I wanted this to be addressed:

Happy to finally have the answer, although like always happens in this game, once you get one, more questions are raised. There's a couple of interesting things and I'm not exactly sure what to make of them. Details of the accident are deliberately pointed out in two different events (like you showed with those ss), so one would think it is somewhat relevant to the plot. The most surprising thing to me is that I got the cars wrong. Emphasis was always on the yellow car, so I obviously thought that was the one Sekai was in (as you can see in my previous post).

Then why so much focus on the yellow car? It's just because that's the car that killed her? or is it leading us to something else, like it was a deliberate attempt on her? I have no idea who and why would do that right now. Maybe overthinking it but I find it weird. On the other side, theories like brake sabotage, a distraction while riding the car (due to a discussion or a blowjob) and any other that put the blame on Sekai's car seem pretty much debunked.

"Maya never killed a kitten and the white car was ours" is an unusual sentence. What do these things have to do with one another? Is she implying that the "kitten" was truly Sekai?

 

[BlackDays]

Ami is replaying Baby Finches. There, Maya said that she killed some kittens on her way to school. To which Akira laughingly answered something like: "Again? Thats the x amount this week".

Ami is referencing the event that seems to be being referenced in that event:

In other words: The 'Rain King' Happy Event is referencing the 'Baby Finches' Happy Event and seems to confirm the part where Maya talks about killing a kitten wasn't true.

 

[DeSkel15]

Also, in retrospect, those pieces of meat in those events might be representing pieces of Sekai. I can definitely see why Ami and Sensei were so fucked up by it:

Oh god that would be a crushing way to start Ch4, not sure I am ready yet

 

[Neurasiatic]

Of course, he also said some other stuff that he is almost certainly not actually going to do after all, so take it with a grain of salt. His vision of the story is always evolving, and he can always just change his mind.

After 0.34 when asked about the Chika threesome he has repeated on Discord that a 100% run of the game (as in, all events) is still planned to be possible and that picking Ayane is required for that, so his stance on that hasn't changed yet.

 

[Bingus Bongus]

So his vision for the game was for players to pick the LEAST interesting threesome option. Oh well, at least we got a good Ayane scene out of it I guess. The drama scene, I mean. Not the sex, that was terrible.

I wonder how the non-Ayane choices pan out. Now that Yumi rejected the idea, does Chika just drop the threesome thing entirely? Will the same happen with Tsubasa and Rin? Will there be dialogue between her and Sensei explaining that it's dropped, or do they just never mention it again?

And of course, what happens with the Chinami choice? I dread that.

If we assume that no exclusive event can be triggered (which is reasonable, given that sel has said and reaffirmed that it will be possible to have a single PT that hits all events), that means that none of the other choices can trigger an event. And I'm pretty sure that that means that none of them will trigger a sex scene, because:

1. Sex scenes are replayable in the gallery as events with "neutral" variables, which means that a conditional H-scene hidden inside a mandatory event is not easily worked into his current system,
and
2. Sel likes punishing people who play LiL for the porn value, so blueballing everyone who requested an unrealistic 3some would be entirely on-brand. This idea is supported by the current update, where Yumi reacts to a 3some suggestion exactly like you would expect her to and we will likely see more of the same from the others. For example, we'll probably see Rin say something like "lol no way, a 3some with my former crush would destroy my relationship with Otoha" (which is exactly what you'd expect her to say).

My guess is the Chinami option will come back in the form of some abusive dialogue forks but not anything substantial.

Edit: When the guide said "Just kill them all" i didnt expect to go girl to girl killing them xddd. While doing this the only thing that comes into my mind is that we are killing the memories of them that Akira have. Also the music that plays while all that shooting simulator happens is like very calm, with a lot of emotions there, godlike music selection

Edit2: Fuck Shampoo

Technically, there's already been exclusive events. The events just share the same name and don't get crossed out no matter which one you get.

'Getting Comfortable' in the Chapter 2 Main Events, completely changes depending on who gets Sensei based off the first Dorm War:

And each version comes with exclusive scenes and lore you wouldn't know about otherwise.

The threesomes could also simply be mentioned or implied, but not completely shown, like a few "sex scenes" have been, and therefore not replayable by themselves. You'd have to replay the event, that the lewdness shows up in, to see them again. Like with the recent Sana and Maya stuff and the stuff on the computer in the recent puzzle if you even wanted to see that.

But yeah, it'll likely just be extra dialogue with maybe some exclusive scenes that don't matter that much, like with Yumi so far.

Well, finally i finished the update. Im broken. After the month and a half wait to get the update (and fast read all the post every 2 days) I think that the wait was compensated:

I cant even believe we are not halfway the game xdd

I am entirely failing to start the 0.35 content, I think Ami's last event is blocking me and I have no idea how to get to it.

 

[k1n5l4y3r]

I am entirely failing to start the 0.35 content, I think Ami's last event is blocking me and I have no idea how to get to it.

Ami's last event before the update is an autoplay after Kaori's last event, and the newest Ami event is during the halloween event.
It's probably something else look in the progress screen.
