VN Ren'Py Superhuman [v0.996 Public] [WeirdWorld]

[Edaltar]

I remember someone mentioning an alternate path in which the MC ran from the party instead of fighting Kenny. Was it actually considered as an option by WeirdWorld but then dropped, or is it planned for much later?

Anyway, I imagine that if WeirdWorld ever wanted to implement alternate routes, it would be left for after the main story was completed.

ho

Since so many seem to be asking for a save. Here is my persistent file, should unlock the gallery. Or if you prefer, a tiny mod that unlocks the gallery. Chose the option you prefer.

Save: Updated for version 0.94.

Gallery Unlock: Should work for future versions (unless the gallery is overhauled).

how to use save file and galery unlocked?

Or maybe the theory of them(the Numbered) being parts of a greater monster/god is true

Isn't that theory pretty much a given? Their names, not to mention H.E.R.O.'s description of Tiffany's parent monster as a part of a whole, pretty much confirms it. They're either a part of Valravn's creator, or remains of its (shattered) bride.

and when they split, those two(3rd and 4th) were originally supposed to be 1 monster but they inherited those 2 traits(Memory and Body) in a singular form. When that happened, they were then splintered again, making them 2 monsters, who share the same powers but at different completeness. This is also why the MC is important for them as he's the balance piece that would allow them to join back together perfectly. It's all just theories though so there's no real need to think too deeply on it, for now.

Ha, I don't really theorise much, but I always thought that Mommery and Dad Bod were leaders of the Numbered faction that wants to reunite into their original form. I've always read the inclination of the monsters to, "return to the sea from whence they came," as well as Bailey's fear of assimilation in the future as a primal urge influenced by the original's desire to reform. Meanwhile, the desire to worship the moon would be influenced by the love for its consort, the Dark God? Very vaguely (and tenuously) referencing Gaia and Uranus here.

That said, I'm also curious about the Fairy's connection to those two. He seemed to trust the MC with Alice because of the fact that MC is a spawn of them but later The 4th(or 3rd) tell him to devour her instead lol. I suppose, from the Fairy's pov, he was future proofing his daughter-thing by tying her to the MC, who's going to be really powerful in the future. Meanwhile, the 4th and 3rd don't give a shit. It could be that simple.

I honestly doubt the actual parent monster is telling the MC to eat Alice; it's likely just a visualisation of the primal instinct to grow stronger, just like the Minyak had a primal instinct to breed. Probably has to do with the unique biology of each superhuman/monster. MC somewhat uniquely (Ella probably can too) relies on feeding on others to increase his power. I doubt every superhuman's primal urge is to kill and feast. Even the Minyak largely ventured forth for a very specific food source, rather than rampaging around.

Anyway, I imagine that if WeirdWorld ever wanted to implement alternate routes, it would be left for after the main story was completed.

There was a poll on Patreon early in development on whether the MC should fight or run during the party. The poll went with the fight option. I don't know if there is a plan to go back and open up that option, but it would pretty much be redesigning the game from that point.
Much of the storyline is built on the MC fighting and his existence becoming public knowledge. If that option was added it would likely be after the game was finished, but it seems like quite alot to add onto the game.
There was also a poll on whether the MC should ask for Ella's help before confronting Klaus or if he should stick with Alice and Michael. That poll went with Michael's plan.

I doubt every superhuman's primal urge is to kill and feast.

On the contrary, I think that this is exactly the essence of every monster (and superhuman).
If you strip them down to their very basics, they are predators who only care about three things.

1) Killing
2) Feasting
3) Mating

The more humanity you retain, the easier it is for you to resist these innate instincts.
The more are Superhumans corrupted, the closer they get to this primordial nature of all monsters.
If you get beyond a certain limit, you become a monster yourself.
It's all about maintaining control.

Personally, I think there are less than a dozen original monsters. Each of them is the founder of a particular gene line, although it is possible that they all have the same mother. A power monster, a mind monster, a transformation monster, and an energy manipulation monster. It looks like some of the transformation monsters are able to reproduce by division, but I'm guessing all the other monsters were probably originally humans. They either had a bad transformation or lost control because they accumulated too much corruption.

 

[DrakoGhoul]

I'm not sure what number monster he is, but we call him The Knowledge.



Stop touching grass dammit, we need you here and posting regularly.

On another note, does anyone have a playthrough where they deliberately play the game "wrong" or in a very unusual way? I'm trying to do one at the moment where the MC is faithful to Amber. It makes sense in my head canon that she'd want a monogamous boyfriend since she's been hurt by a cheater in the past. Hopefully my MC will be able to resist all the temptation around him and treat his girl the way she deserves.

One reason I wanted to try a monogamous playthrough is because I tend to warn people when I recommend the game to them to not expect some great romantic story out of it and that it's a fuckfest. However, there are some good romantic moments with Alice, Emily, etc here and there so the thought occurred to me that maybe I was actually the one approaching the game incorrectly. Perhaps WeirdWorld has been writing great love stories all along and we just never noticed!

I thought it was really interesting how you can have the MC express guilt for sleeping around when he was talking with Alexis at Tiffany's wedding.

I prefer "The Degenerate", personally.

And yeah, I did a throwaway playthrough where only dumb shit happened. In fact, I did one where MC only fucked rich women and wouldn't stick his dick in any poor woman,unless he was forced but he was reluctant the entire time. Purposely tried to let the hobo attack the kids too but Ella, most likely, intervened and some other stuff.

I mean, they appear and tell the MC "Spawn, devour her" in that scene. Who else would give that command? Why would the MC say "What was that...? Mother, is that you? You want me to.." right before that statement if it was the MC referring to himself? He was asking who that was, which it proceeded to show his monster parent, and then what they wanted him to do, in which they responded to devour her(Alice). In context to that specific scene, it was them telling him to eat alice.

Isn't that theory pretty much a given? Their names, not to mention H.E.R.O.'s description of Tiffany's parent monster as a part of a whole, pretty much confirms it. They're either a part of Valravn's creator, or remains of its (shattered) bride.

Sure but some fans don't agree with that line of thinking like some of us. I also didn't want any of them to think I'm saying it's a fact. While it is highly likely to be the case, as the evidence is piling up for it, it's not confirm yet so I made sure to clarify that it's still a theory, currently.

Well, if we get Valravn's card here, that should reveal most of the pieces to this mystery. Especially, if it reveals what I think it does. That's the one card, besides the MC's or Jake's for level 1 to 2, that I'm looking forward to seeing.

FYI if you allow the hobo to attack the kids, one of the kids uses their power to make you hit the hobo, knocking him out. Its only then that Ella appears and goops the guy.

It's actually not exactly clear there, to be frank. It said "he(the boy) begins to reach towards his eye coverings but before he can touch them, I feel my hand lurch forward, shooting out like a cannon and grabbing the hobo by the collar". The sentence didn't end so the "he" was still referring to the boy at that part and the "them" was referring to his eye coverings.

Now, if it was the boy though, and I remembered that part wrong, then that leads to more questions. One being why he didn't just control the hobo instead? The MC was lvl 2, so if the boy could control him then why wouldn't he just flat out control the regular human instead? You also lose points with Ella there so she most likely was watching the entire time. It's more likely to be Ella doing it, at least in my opinion. I could be wrong though but from what I remember, the boy didn't get to use his power there.

You are right, it isn't explicitly stated but I was thinking since we don't know what powers all the kids have we don't know which one used their power. Could have been any of the bunch. Could have also been an off screen person. as for the power defense thing, that's always been a little weird. MC's memory reading never seems to trip anyone's radar (other than the super with the explicit mind reading power). In the council meeting at HERO, we lightly touch the Top 5 to get their appearances and no one seems to react.

 

[PerpetuallyAmiss]

You know what...Where TF is our dad? Aint seen that dude in forever. Whats he got to say bout his kid being publicly outed as s superhuman, targeted by police, on tv doing some DBZ fight shit, before becoming a spokesman for some organization?

maybe that answer is gonna be dark, maybe not ,maybe he is in a gay sexcapade with jeff ,maybe he is dead, the only thing we know is that he is bald XD.

You know what ur right where has our dad been? last we seen or heard of him in story is us calling him for help on amber route and him being know or at the very least is acknowledge by tiffany's dad where he even know his name and know that we are his son. Make me wonder if our old daddy dearest tried to get the one up on dexter and tried to black mail him or maybe our dad is more connected in the "government" then we thought and not just some weird hobo.

I miss Bailey
It would be cool if the MC had at least one dedicated minion/sidekick.
I really hope she comes back.

Perhaps once we reach the next evolution, we would be able to help perfect her transformations.
I miss my faithful inky girlfriend.

 

[vogelbeest]

You know what...Where TF is our dad?

As always, he disappeared for several months, that's nothing new for him....
Even if his father knows all about MC's situation, he has no way to contact him. MC has lost his phone and has been hiding or in HERO HQ after his exposure to the public. It would be more surprising if the dad contacted MC now, that would expose his level of involvement...

maybe our dad is more connected in the "government" then we thought

More than we thought? It's already clear he's in deep... Dexter has been a major player in the field of powers for years, both inside the government as outside (HERO and the organisation they came from) and he knows your father more then just by name.... More important is the question if he is on team Dexter or team Supreme Minister....

I would like that too

When is the next update going to be?

 

[KingWeWuz]

When is the next update going to be?

Assuming all patterns stay the same, the next update should be within 30 days. He normally releases once every 2-3 months

To be honest, it's probably better to eat Bailey instead of letting her go during that scene. Her memories would be safely stored in the MC and he could potentially make her a new body to store her memories in when he learns more. While we don't know much about Mommy's memory power, I'm sure transferring memories around is pretty trivial.

We would probably have to get better control over our body transformation power and unlock the ability to form mental links for the transfer first, since it'll be needed. Those should comes with our 3rd Evolution. Especially stuff like, forming mental links without touching, and being able to control memories to the point that we can now transfer them around.

I actually have a lot of thoughts on how the MC's memory ability could progress over his growth to make a lot of things possible. I would go deeper into it but I'm getting sidetracked and most of it is unlikely to happen.

Back on topic, It's probably better to "save" her now and then revive her later after he becomes strong enough. There's no telling what might happen to her out there if you let her go. She could get ate, bred, or corrupted by other monsters. Hell, even worse, she could get flat out slaughtered by other monsters or even HERO members. It's too big of a risk.

I'm not entirely sure if it works that way.
Personally, I think that if we eat her, Bailey will just dissolve inside MC's body.

The scene with Snow White in the prison convinced me that if not now, in the future MC should be able to create living and functioning bodies (assuming he has the biological material). I even think that even at his current level he might be able to revive people who was not dead for more than a few minutes. But I'm afraid that mind transplant might be a bit beyond his power. His specialty is transformation not mind manipulation.

Hell, even worse, she could get flat out slaughtered by other monsters or even HERO members. It's too big of a risk.

I'm pretty sure that if we meet her again she'll be doing just that!
And I think that's a good thing because it's good way to bring her back into the story.
MC wouldn't have much motivation to look for her otherwise.

I'm glad to see more people showing Bailey some affection, she gave us crazy sex scenes, awnkward humor, insight on the monster side of things and a final scene that honestly broke my heart.

Her dialogue if mc lets her go shows that she believes you will not meet again, she literally says that.

If mc absorbs her, he learns about the callings from the moon and the sea, how she would leave to the sea if refused, i think it might be a giant mass of black goo that makes the minyak and i'm not very confident on her ability to keep her memories and self if that's the case.
She also literally says that she will wait for the night when you will meet again, this gives me hope that yes, mc will be able to make a new body for her and return her memories.

Absorbing Bailey is the only corruption point on my playthrough and i only did that because i dreaded the idea of never seeing her again.
