Ren'Py Stranded in Space [Days 1-20] [WildMan Games]

[Chillout1984]

Good news everyone!

Wildman Games has announced a special Stranded In Space: Halloween Edition just in time for the spooky holiday. In this update, Umiko reports that while repairing a critical communications array an accidental discharge of some of the food supplies occurred. Much of the breakfast cereal stores was jettisoned and lost. Fortunately there is plenty of other food left for the remainder of the journey so no one will starve but there isn't nearly enough cereal left to feed the full complement of awakened passengers all the way to Elysium. Soon, one by one, the girls of the harem are found brutally murdered, all by a maniac wielding a metal spoon. The race is on to find the mad murderer before it's too late! Who could it be?

Easy: MC is the culprit. He's addicted to cereal, he eats it for every meal. He will let nobody else touch it if there's only a limited supply left

I love a good serial - sorry, cereal killer story!

I feel Pandora is a wrench in the theory crafting. To many things feel like they were setup by Mirsky.
I believe Miranda was being completely truthful when telling the MC about the echos and her plan. And since Beth should be trust whorthy each female ship should have 1 echo each. Which brings up the question why transfer the MC to the Endurance? It is way to convienent that he has ended up on the ship with 2 of his most important people and the 1 echo who got the least amount of CIT training. Factor in she is also susposed to be the perfect mother to make up for Miranda's own missteps, it doesn't seem like Synthstar could have known and planned any of it.

I feel like its all a Mirsky setup to give the MC and paige the perfect training ground to get a head start. Also allows for extra CIT training for Skylar and gives the MC a doctor who he would be safe with. I feel since anmesia is susposed to be super rare it was considered an acceptable risk, would also explain the drone.

This does not explain who moved the MC. An Echo would make the most sense, but there are only susposed to be 5 and they were suspose to be reset and in cryo. So unless there is a secret 6th one or Miranda did in fact come along to do the tranfer? Plus it sounds like Skylar was somewhere wasn't the first to wake up so unless multiple people are lying she was in cryo.

It's also possible there's multiple plans in place by things like both Mirsky and Synthstar that ended up overlapping and conflicting. Honestly, I'd go as far as to say it's reasonably likely that is the case.

Everyone gathered together and needing to relieve some tension after a stressful event? Orgy time!

Assuming Synthstar knows far more than they should. (Still feels weird since they just currently haunt the narrative without us having any real info on them). Will that be the true twist? That someone who was super close to the MC in the past fed Synthstar info? Ishanni is more than likely just corporete honeypot, but how did she get the info needed?

Download links are broken IG, especially Mega. If someone can provided an alternative apart from these it would be so good

It makes me wonder if Ishani has already met Bethany... and maybe was directly involved in "comping" Bethany's upscale hotel room when Bethany was in meetings with Synthstar. Ishani's profile info in the Daily Question part of the morning laptop group interaction sessions says that she is an Accountant. That might be just a cover, or it could fit in with the whole comping Bethany's room thing.

In terms of timeline, there are undoubtedly a lot of significant things that happened between the Foreboding Door of Doom (FDoD) encounter and when the MC and the others were put into cryogenic stasis and the voyage to Elysium got underway. Hopefully we'll learn about some of that early on Day 21... With an important piece of the MC's memory restored due to the FDoD encounter, I suspect the Day 21 update will start out with flashbacks covering bits of that period while the MC is spending the night with Skylar.

I actually still don't get Bethany at all, why was the MC dating her? Why unlike every other important girl he was sleeeping with, was he lying to her? I just don't understand her character, i also don't understand why the MC treats cheating on her like the most evil thing in the world.

It's worth noting that the Synthstar position of "Strategic Asset Manager" sounds nefarious (and I suppose it could be if it's covering something(, but I'm actuality Strategic Asset Manager is essentially a finance and investment position. Essentially a high level accountant.

I'm sure there will be some more memories surfaced on Day 21 that prove illuminating though.

MC is an empathetic and compassionate guy, in general.

I think that might be a typo, should have been Strategic Ass Manager, since she can use that badonkadonk to get most men to do whatever she says.

I get that, i meant its weird to me that a guy that Aoi is obessed with because he is kind and empathetic and remembers and cares for 10 girls as she puts it. Decides to be in a exclusive relationship where he knows he is going to cheat and constantly have to lie to her.

I forget the order of things, to be honest. I kind of thought Bethany was before the others?

I think that's correct, but I'm not sure. I think his past, together with his mother's influence on him, sent him down a pretty sexually ruthless path.

I know Bethany was before Jen and Aoi, but it not clear if he was already with Claire or not. But either way what confuses me is he treats all the other girls with honesty and respect, they all know about each other. Heck it's pretty close to what he has going on currently on the ship.

We know the MC is single when Miranda re-enters his life. So was Bethany a target from Miranda and the MC decided to "date" her, instead of his usual bang and get them tranfered to HQ. Was she a long con since she only officially starts at Mirsky, like the day MC tries to quit? Is she just a plot point to help the impact of MC destorying his family (which just ends up hurting his dad)?

I also don't understand why the MC seemingly tried so hard to have a normal relationship. Everything and everyone in his past life seemed to push him towards a harem lifestyle , but he seems from what we have seen to try for the Monogamous relationship instead.

I don't know if this is the best place to ask. When i installed Day 20 on android, my previous saves were no longer there.

Is there any chance someone has a save file at the end of day 19 i can borrow?

The simplest guess is that she was recruited because she split with MC. For now I see her more as a victim than a potential dark force.

They still have feelings for each other and if it wasn't for MC having mommy issues and being a manwhore, both of which Miranda can blame herself for, they'd still be together. She could've been a reason for him to stay.

Miranda is bringing everyone he cares about to make sure he goes and she realised that still includes Bethany. They broke up so she might not just agree to go for MC's sake like Claire and Lexi would or if they were still together. Now she's an employee she goes where Miranda says. Bethany was a potential problem so Miranda threw some cash at her to be safe.

For the plot she highlights the lengths Miranda will go to, the need for MC to have as many people who are attached to him as possible and would be an interesting character to try and integrate into the harem. As well as the impact described.

The story so far (might have some tidbits overlapped, but is mostly accurate)

MC worked on the Nightclub, in there he gained a lot of self confidence and learned how to properly read and treat any female, while maintaining sexual relationships with practically all the female staff, from there he get into a relationship with that cute Goth girl (I'm not so good with the names, sorry), then they break up due divergence in their paths / career goals, then he get with Bethany, and is recruited to work on Mirsky, highly probably at his mother behest, unknowingly by him, Miranda set him in a path of going around the globe swooning any girl related to the company, and even his own step mother, in detriment of the relationship with his father and sister.

Bethany breaks up with him since he was actively cheating on her with at least 5 girls, however Miranda had already set in motion the AI projects, in which MC is a fundamental piece, MC understands that all the other girls are fundamentally his ego out of control, exploits for the sake of conquest, and maybe he did it unconsciously, since he learned to literally lure the females to sex, well... because he was practically groomed by the girls of the nightclub into a perfect seducing machine.

MC realizes that Bethany is the right one, he goes to talk with Miranda, to break the contract, and be free, Miranda informs him of the Echos, and he is introduced to 2 active ones, and the uncompleted body of Skylar, he get convinced of not break up with the compaly and to have the surgery procedure that will fuse P.A.I.G.E. with his brain, meanwhile Mirsky had already employed Bethany, to sweeten the deal for MC then after the surgery he is put into cryosleep and sent his merry way to Elsyum.

(This is my speculation) Synthstar somehow got wind of Mirsky (industrial spionage or something along those lines) project on developing AI's so they wanted to bribe Bethany to gain a more direct contact with the core members (in this case MC or Lexi) related to the Echos project, and maybe steal the developing data of one of those, specially the most prominent one, P.A.I.G.E., so, since they couldn't do it before MC was put into cryosleep, they gathered intel on MC in order to put at least 1 operative in Elysium, that could enter in direct contact with MC, banking on the fact that MC would try without even being aware of it, to seduce her, in this case, Ishani.

What isn't clear yet is how come MC ended in the all female spacecraft, since he was put on the all male one, is not clear if it's a ploy by Synthtar or Mirsky,or a 3rd parth that we are unaware of yet.
