Are you aware of the planned Harem > Dark > Purity > True routes of the story?

View attachment 4593987

IIRC some people seemed to believe that if you skipped a characters' scenes, you won't be able to play their Purity route, but I'm not sure if thats still a thing. Or maybe it's just because it's supposed the intended way to play the game and will lock you out of future scenes with characters.

Anyways, the main story stays the same (for now) but there are variations in scenes and like shmurfer has pointed out in the past a lot of them feel non-canon jokes and seem to be mocking the player for missing scenes.
Routes? Heard about them, but after playing for the first time and asking myself several times not to give it up I'm not sure I'll be willing to collect any other ones. And also after experiencing such a blatant rails in sandbox I lowkey think author is just joking. But I'm repeating myself here and maybe it'll be implemented indeed, who knows.

Given the way the story is written I highly doubt he won't do it, it lines up perfectly with the story and development process so far.
I'm inclined to believe (although this is speculation) that the purity routes will not have those "rails" and even if they do we have ways of getting around it.

I'm just gonna hope next update isn't too rough:
You don't have permission to view the spoiler content. Log in or register now.

Really not looking forward to a 'Stomachache' - Yumi version, or something.
I keep seeing the no text box, no day stuff when I scroll the forum, was wondering which mod it was and if you could link it.

It would be the first time a RAS member had experienced trauma like that since surviving a reset. Usually the people who remember between resets have already felt a large trauma.
I think it's more about something happening that is significant enough to them that they can't be properly reset. To put it verry briefly. Ayane it's the pregnancy, Makoto it's her dad and depression coming to a point it can't be reset properly. Yumi it is the stuff happening with Chika combined with her starting to notice things because of her and Akira skipping forward earlier.

I use a transparency mod:
You don't have permission to view the spoiler content. Log in or register now.
And Dark mod:
You don't have permission to view the spoiler content. Log in or register now.

Also when replaying an event, sometimes the day is no longer there.

I mean, if you go into the game folder, you can find the images without the GUI in front of them.

That's cool and I've long since known about the fact the images are just shoved in a folder as would anyone clicking around in their file explorer but you do understand people go out of their way to make the mods and then use them for a better reading experience, right?

If we extend that to other characters, I can think of two off the top of my head, who might be next in line to not reset. Specifically, Sana and Othoa.

I can see Sana being next, but It feels like something still needs to happen. Otoha I'm not sure anything significant enough from her perspective has happened yet. Noriko is probably closer, but I think whatever pushes her through will be connected to Maya in some way. Tsuneyo also, but she seems to be special for other reasons, the game called her a "cottontail" or something like that. Some others that seem like they are on the path in rapid fire: Futaba feels like something is going to happen to her soon, Nodoka because Nodoka, Chika maybe after the "rabies" reaches its end stage, Rin potentially after them. The rest don't seem to be that close to me. Other than Yasu, but she's probably special like Tsuneyo. This is by no means a conclusive list of my thoughts and maybe I'm missing something obvious that should have been mentioned.

How many resets do you think we have left, not counting any that would be say purity resets? If we only get one more for chapter 4 and two for chapter 5? Two for the dark route, but maybe just one since its supposed to be short. I imagine if the dark route went on for long Sel would lose many subs.

Think we might get more than two in this chapter?

I also feel like most of the girls will be still be unaware by the end of the dark route but who knows.

I think resets stop with Dark Route, that's what makes it Dark Route. It's going to begin with the death of someone (Makoto) and this time it sticks.

And it ends when they renable resets / take control entirely.

Selebus recently said that the dark route is called that because that's when the ruleset changes and the characters will have to adapt to it. So that could either be no resets or a ton of resets all the time. It could mean anything really. Hell, maybe the dark route means that only x amount of people get to keep their memories each time, and the only way to "play" is by killing everyone else first.
