Finally, now i understand. But it is like a wrong path design. When I voluntarily took grimore, Rebecca's path must be canceled(at least I expected that). Thanks to everyone for their help and discussion.
I guess it's more about understanding the MC at that point. Yes I myself would jump in to take the book since it's there but if you think back to the previous encounters (From Japan to the village), everyone warns you about the book one way or another. This should put that obvious "is this really worth it?" question in your minds and realize that saving the girls is the way to go especially since the MC is going through all this hell to keep them safe.

The problem is that people get immersed in the game and by the time you reach that choice you already spent 1-2 IRL days (unless you're a god at reading or play all day :KEK:) so people forget the clues the other characters left for you.

If you play through the variants are very critical and also show the variety of the game. But still the wt-mod made things easier. I think it's crazy when someone says take wt-mod through games and then he's out. Didn't even need to play the game. I think the game with the horror inserts is very good and I am extremely satisfied. Good work and keep it up.

It makes so much more sense to grab the book because it's right there in front of you. Without prior knowledge, and having some experience in picking things up that are directly in front of you, you should be making the assessment that grabbing the book is an extra 2-3 seconds of work, while running back to the girls and then coming back for the book is significantly more than that. Also one of them is a ninja.

On the other hand, having played the game up to that point you also know that you are persistently rewarded for two things:
1. Perving out like it's the last day of Spring Break and you got half a box of almost-expired Cialis in the trunk
2. Going over-protective on your girls as if you're an Amish father and your fifth daughter just came home at 6pm with her left sock slipped down below the ankle

The book is the whole reason you went out there in the first place, and sacrificing what pretty much amounts to *everything* for the girls instead of asking them to wait for 2 seconds is an odd judgment call on behalf of the BH. It's one of the choices that has the least obvious consequences in my mind.

I agree with that. Glad I played with a guide, 'cause my reasoning was the same. That said, by using a guide, I played this game more like a linear novel than a choose-your-own-adventure book, so it didn't really bother me. It's just how things played out for these characters.

You don't have permission to view the spoiler content. Log in or register now.
Yep we're in agreement here. As I said IRL, logically, I'd take the book and run like hell after the girls but it's already established that the book is bad so I would expect something to go wrong.
Obviously, I wouldn't expect it to be about Rebecca but I wouldn't be surprised if I got a bad ending for not thinking about all the warnings.

It could've been done differently, like make the book be locked in a cage and you have to find the key or go save the girls.

If I remember correctly, you said you was going to come back and add/change a thing or two. Am I wrong, or are you still going to do that? Sorry for hounding you.

If for "you" you mean Caribdis, I must inform you that they are working on their new game Eternum, a work that show premises to make they committed to it for a long time, so those extras will not be added to the game in the foreseeable future, I'm afraid. :)
