So quick question on this game, are all the events all mandatory? There's no way to pick and choose what you want to see done? Just curious cause the stat tracker kind of seemed to stand out to me as indicative of having more options. Not that I'm against being set on the path to have to see it all (In a way I actually kind of prefer that for this game, so that I know that I'm not screwing something up by neglecting to watch a scene.. If there's branching paths it's best to warn the player) I just wanted to make sure that I'm not missing something... Demon started saying stuff like "You chose to do this. I just put a thought in your head." And I started wondering if there was more that could be done, or if there's something I missed? Especially since the game seems to open up a lot more after you lose your virginity..
I just wanted to ask to help me stop wasting time on backup saves in case of branching paths.
Also, not that my say has anything to do with anything on this. Theorycraft thought popped into my head: What if the reason Yuuki is being so abusive to her little brother is actually because of the Demon for more reasons than just the curse? What if Saeta is actually the hero that could kill him (Or at least he recognizes him as more a potential threat than his sister), and he wants to ruin Saeta, either through demoralization or depravity? Just thought it would actually make more sense as to why she so quickly goes dumb bitch mode over Boo and starts flipping so easily on her little brother. It's almost immersion breaking how jarringly she flips that switch.. Others even directly point it in her face and are just like "Yeah. You're the shittiest sister I've ever seen" and she's just like "Noo. Noo. Teehee" (Being a rather caring family person myself.. I can tell you.. I could easily stand up to any and all temptation to protect them and stand up for them. She seemed crazy over her little brother at first)
Also thought it might be neat to end up finding out that Boo is either part of the demon, a demon himself, the son of the demon.. or perhaps the son of the bandit boss. Son of the Bandit boss probably works best being real. Kind of fits too, he was allowed to hang out by the river near guards and they didn't give a shit. They also put him in a cell, but never forced him back to work after getting him out. He tells people his parents are dead so they don't use him against the boss leader (assuming he even cares) after the bandits get caught he takes advantage of things and sticks to his story. I just strongly dislike Boo being this generic bully who has an absolutely generic story to him and is just generic shota that generically fucks girl (Let alone that I don't much care for his character as a whole.. and hate how Yuuki interacts with him, but that's also what gives the situations their charm too) fleshing his story out a bit more and painting him like this, makes things more interesting and helps fill in motives better behind more than just sex.. Would Yuuki feel great shame after finding out any of this? Would she be able to resist after finding out? Will the other kids find this out? Would they seek to usurp Boo's place? Will yuuki ever find any of it out? Will Seita? Does this give Seita a weak point to attack Boo? Even if it's never really fully enacted upon or there's no real payoff from it.. I think giving him a more fleshed out character, enabling us to hate/like the scenes just a bit better
Sorry for my Wall of text.. xD
TLDR: Are all events mandatory to complete the game currently? bunch of ideas for the story.. stupid stuff mainly.. Thanks for reading
