The poem you mention, or rather quote, has been broadly assumed to narrate Maya and Akira during the tutoring days. The bedroom would be the room he used to tutor the girls, and where Maya would start to live in soon after. That he was just as broken as her is a reference to her being abused prior to meeting Akira. "all the other lights burned out and I was still there" references Sekai and Niki being gone from his life. I supposed one could interpret it as being either Sekai or Ami talking about him, but Maya fits much better. A continuation/another quote by Maya would be her explanation of the green scarf, in the same format - in which she alludes to being the one that actually pursued their initial relationship.

The second part can be a reference to many things - they're unlikely to be by the same author. At first we assumed that it referenced Akira losing his memories as a means to be cured of the abuse Sekai inflicted upon him "forget about love and forget about her, only then can you be saved". If you take a look at "somnambula" it can also be a reference to Ami/whatever was in control of her talking about dethroning a god and putting him in its place.[/SPOILER]

Another reason to think the first half is Maya is that the same voice was used for AmIOkay in Yumi's event "I See You". I think it's also plausible it's Ami since Maya "stole her story" and AmIOkay contains elements of both of them, but I'm not sure it really matters since they used to be the same person, anyway ;).

The second half is in the voice that Wires used when introducing himself in "Word of the Day". Wires seems to want Sensei to forget his trauma in the sense of leaving it behind him; the way he repressed the memories at the start of the game wasn't good enough since he still kept trying to recreate the "love" that Sekai taught him.

If you mean this one, then it's Jan 1st, 2020 and not 9th.

Since this image's file name is "todd", I will assume that this marks the time and day of Ayane's pet chicken's death.

I don't know why the file is named "todd", but I'm convinced the time of death is for Tsuneyo's father. I'll write up a post on that when I have some time.

"Himawari is Ayane's daughter" = noob level
"Himawari's real name is Ami" = getting closer to the truth
"Himawari is Ami" = :oops:
"Himawari is Maya, because Maya is Ami, thus Maya is Ayane's daughter" =

It's fairly simple (?)

I personally don't place much emphasis on the very early Chapter 1 event about naming Ayane's daughter, though I definitely believe there's some relationship between Himawari and Ami based on the picture you provided there. The Maya theory is ehhhhh, vibes-based? Like that part is really shaky.

Heya, I didn't play this game in years and finally want to give it another go. I saw some talk about bad/good uncle routes having some interesting differences. I assume those routes depend on if MC accepts Ami's feelings or not, so I'd like to ask is it worth to go for incest route(without big spoilers)? Usually I wouldn't hesitate to accept but considering this game also putting a lot of emphasis on plot and horror I'm kinda worried :unsure:

Edit: Also, what's the purpose of care packages? Do they add some bonus scenes to the game?

Big arrows are your friends, little arrow if you're lazy. Don't touch the care packages, they're booby trapped and contain garbage content. If you absolutely must view them, do not install them, just view them from within their folders. I'm not answering further questions, this is all you need to sort yourself out. For anything else, use the fucking search bar...

Bingoogus already talked about the care packages (although the care packages from the "fanfest" 2025 are completely safe and are worth it imo - but shouldn't be played before at least chapter 4).

On the topic of choice I'd recommend going for what we call the "green route", which means not missing a single event. Download the walkthrough mod, make sure to read the notes on every event that you're about to trigger, and you should do fine. When in doubt, always pick to do something rather than not.

*as you catch up, or to find the answers to reset puzzles, search the thread. There is a text document about the puzzles, and I post trigger guides on every update (which is needed until the walkthrough mod updates).

The horror elements get worse / stronger if you don't do incest. You're supposed to do incest.
