Ren'Py Lessons in Love [v0.54.0] [Selebus]

[BlackDays]

So because my theories lately have been going around in circles i decided to watch some of the happy events and whatnot and i reached the event where we escape from our room.I wonder.Why was Sanna the one to come to us and not someone like Ami,ayane Niki noriko or Maya.Like Ami would KILL for us(she has in past cycles).Its truly curious.And Sensei talked to sana about this dream of his and it was kinda glossed over BUT i hope that it will be further developed in the future.Anyways my question is this.Why do you guys think was the reason why it was Sana that visited us?

I wouldn't be so sure if that was Sana.
The problem here is that Sel was reusing KK models for various girls. Either intentionally or maybe he just thought "cute".

Akira was already seeing Ami as Maya prior, so it's not so far to assume that it was Ami cosplaying Sana in the "Times New Roman" stuff.
Ami wanted Akira for herself all alone.
We also have the body outline on the floor, and probably Ami's dead body nailed to the wall.
My guess would be that Ami tried to infuse feelings of guilt into Akira.

At the same time she might have played the role of Sana, to have her refuge with Akira, while he did not realise it was Ami.

Koi cafe, morning, IIRC. Don't know if it's a specific day, might just be weekend or something

Looks like it's Saturday morning, Koi Cafe, Haruka, Hang out.
Thank you.

Sana wasn't actually there, but she was the person he saw, or the model was similar. Which means that his mind put her there, or whomever was controlling what he saw in his mind did. Or you could subscribe to the theory that his mind was in another "place" (during some blackouts like that one) akin to the copy of heaven Mymy is in now or something similar — which opens up a huge can of worms. I don't know how many people think that, at least for this instance, I'll shelve that for now. But then the question is why. Just fun to think about. I'm like 95% certain Sana will be very important in the future and might tie into more than we know now. I'm 100% certain I'm still a fucking moron though, and I can't find the train of thought I lost earlier. Might come back to it later with more thoughts.

Under*, water over the bridge is a big problem, water under it is business as usual.

It's Yuki we're talking about. Her bridge has been underwater for a long time now

Fixed it, thanks.

There is one thing that bothers me about the Sana/Pareidolia situation, and that is related to Sara. Just what does this even mean?

NAO's embracing the same thing.

In fact, DeSkel15, have we ever found out who was the narrator for "ad infinitum" before Pareidolia showed up?

To finish on a good note though, Himawari is such an ass: (and this event also might explain the older Sana thing)

He also sees Ayane during the reset sequence and she was never there - we still don't know who that was.

I don't know her intentions there, if she even existed, what would happen if she stalled Akira longer? Would Maya have been spared? Or would he simply have missed her being factory reset?

As a person who has just started playing this game, right? What on earth are all these theories I keep finding in the comments section of this game? Like reading some of them makes me feel like watching Interstellar Part Two or something. I thought this was just your run of the mill porn game with a school setting or something. Can someone explain just what on earth is going on with this game, but in like... short? Thanks!

You play as a dude that doesn't know who he is and thinks that he has taken hold of another dude's body. Assuming this is all some kind of game, he sets forward trying to have sex with many girls.

But he keeps getting these visions and weird stuff happens to his head, which makes him question if this is all really a game and who he was in the first place.

From then onwards, it basically circles around the "what is this place" and "who am i", it just gets progressively more complicated as the game moves forward.

You don't need to understand all the weird stuff on your first playthrough, just play it. If you become interested in that side of things, we can help you, or you can just replay.

I definitely don't recommend reading this thread for lore until you've fully caught up. There's a puzzle guide on the first page, use that and the search bar liberally because this game is a fucking mess.
Welcome in, and don't forget to smile

Think of this as a horror mystery game with some porn in it rather than a porn game with horror in it. If that still interests you then jump in and come back to the forum when you're through all the spoilery bits.

If this game could be easily summed up in a paragraph we wouldn't have 40000 comments here.

THEY ARE NOT REAL
THEIR FEELINGS ARE FAKE
ONLY AYANE LOVES AKIRA FOR REAL

 

[Moonflare]

Pretty sure it can be summed up in a single image of Akira's big penis Or Himawari's double cock I suppose, depending on the user's preferences.

It seemed like Pareidolia at least knew it was going to happen, as to it being his plan I don't know if that's enough confirmation.

However not necessarily knowing that it would happen makes it his plan. Since Himawari possibly knew about it as well.

All of that being said, Pareidolia implies that it was him, yes.

As I said, I'm also curious as to who has access/made the replica of heaven for Maya Prime, and if every girl has one or is it just her as well.

Hmm I see; I can see two ways of interpreting what Pareidolia said during the 6th reset though.

Strictly speaking, else alone just means losing Prime Maya is solidly confirmed. To me his statement is somewhere between "Do I need to take something else from you again" and "Do I need to take something else from you as well"; if the former is true then it's Pareidolia who took away Maya Prime, if the latter is true then it's another god, but I honestly cannot make up my mind whether which end is more possible anymore.

Edit: Sensei himself believes to be Pareidolia that took her though.

I'll take a short line from the latest update that might partly summarize the game. Whether it will make any sense to you, I can't say... well... it probably wont.

"O, terrible danger. O, big penis sex. O, world and its whirlpool. O, mole ratted necks."
"O, poetry, pottery, lottery, Shrek. O, rhyming - O, timing - On Dasher, On Deck!"

Not laughing at you — definitely with you.

This is NOT your typical school harem game. At all.

But I’m guessing you’re already figuring that out.

In fact, DeSkel15, have we ever found out who was the narrator for "ad infinitum" before Pareidolia showed up?

Spoiler: ad infinitum

You don't have permission to view the spoiler content. Log in or register now.

I think it is Pareidolia narrating. He's illicitly using USER1's license to fuck with Sana, probably to make her scared of HOPE so that can swoop in as her "savior". Pareidolia shows up in person because someone (maybe Wires, maybe just automated system software) kicks him out from using USER1's account any more. Note that "account sharing is prohibited for new accounts" probably wouldn't apply for USER1's account, but it might for USER3 (as in the system detects that Pareidolia has accessed both USER1 and USER3 from the same "ip address").

I'm pretty sure Pareidolia does something similar with using USER1's account in Rin's Chapter 1 event "Window of the Waking Mind" (there have been a suspicious number of failed logins to USER1's account).

Interestingly, there's another narrator in "Ad Infinitum" before Sana starts seeing things, who also gets kicked out for improper use of USER1's license. It sounds like they're talking about Yasu's rope metaphor, which would mean the rope is Kumon-mi and/or all of its residents.

It's a bit confusing who this narrator is. I don't think it's Himawari because she shows up in person earlier in the event chain, so she wouldn't be talking about being in a completely different place (which might be outside of the walls) from Sensei.

The idea of breathing together is a callback both to the game's first narrator and to what Sensei thinks during the first reset.

Spoiler

So that makes me think it might be narrator Maya, but the narrator says they're not built to be Sensei's lover. Maybe narrator Maya doesn't have a body or something?

And then one more thing: again, it says account sharing is prohibited for new accounts. Assuming that USER1 isn't the new account, that would mean the narrator has access to a new account. Maybe USER4 is involved?
