[QUOTE=SweetShark;52775701][sp]Indeed because the depression was also a plan of Monika. She after all she suggested to you about "hang out" more with Sayori... Maybe that why Sayori become a 4th wall entity at the end. Sayori while hanging herself she realised she had been manipulated by Monika[/sp][/QUOTE] [sp]I think I actually found a better explanation for Sayori's fourth wall breaking at the very end. Basically it's not that Monika doesn't have a route, it's that the club president doesn't have a route. So when Sayori was promoted to club president, she immediately inherited that role and sussed out everything that Monika also realized (that she's basically now incapable of being together with you). So instead of letting that vicious cycle repeat, Monika just destroys everything, hence her quote "there's no happiness to be found in the Literature Club."[/sp]

I haven't played any of this, and I still have no idea what is going on with this game or why people say you should play it but I want to know how long the first playthrough is before I start.

[QUOTE=Why485;52780220]I haven't played any of this, and I still have no idea what is going on with this game or why people say you should play it but I want to know how long the first playthrough is before I start.[/QUOTE] The game itself lasts a total of like five, six hours max. It's not super long or anything, I'd say the first route lasts a couple-a few hours if I were to guess.

What a rollercoaster of emotions. Good game, thanks for posting the thread here before i got spoiled somewhere else.

I've never really played a VN before (I guess Ace Attorney), so is it normal for me to voice all the characters by myself, out loud? I can't do girly voices that well. Anyway, it's slowing down my playthrough(s) a lot. Just finished my first and dipped my toe into the second. [sp]get out of my head[/sp]

If it helps with your immersion who cares if it is "normal" or not. You will definitely have an easier time doing the voices on your second run.

[QUOTE=Wii60;52785156]spoils [media]https://soundcloud.com/button-mashing-soundtrack/just-monika[/media][/QUOTE] We really shall make a psedo-sequel of the game for the energy we put alone on this Thread.

Wow, what a wild ride. Unfortunately I was kinda spoiled to a few screens and that something was up, but it was still imendsley enjoyable.

Guess who just got played? [sp]I figured this was just a low-Budget dating sim so at every choice I made a save file to see the alternative paths, normal right? hell i event made a save on Monikas weird "load me" poem. So why wouldn't i make save to see what happens if you reject Sayonara to romance Yuri this late into the game? I couldn't get passed the "never"s I just quit to the menu only to alt+f4 in a second, i think i'll continue during the daytime. [/sp] never played a visual novel but damn am i glad this is my first

[sp]why do video games gotta hurt me man[/sp]

Game taken to it's logical conclusion (spoilers) [video=youtube;giNSCDepolM]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=giNSCDepolM[/video]

this game has got a dark humor meme goldmine if you know where to look

So I am still on my first playthrough and [sp]Sayori hanged herself after I rejected her proposal and holy shit I didn't expect any of that and it freaked me the fuck out.[/sp] [sp]I am back in the clubroom and everything was going kind of okay but I just noticed that on the wall at the back of the room is the frame of Sayori's death. Why's the game gotta do this to me man :c[/sp]

Just finished my first playthrough. I can't believe how hard I felt for Natsuki even though on the surface she is such a stereotypically written tsundere. Once I got to the more dere parts, there's a lot of aspects of her personality that I found more relatable than I care to admit. Really glad this was pointed out. She really was best girl. I loved it and I'll definitely be buying the fan pack to support these guys. It's really good.

Yeah just from reading the spoilers in this thread I know I don't have it in me to play this

Why did you spoil yourself like that? If lengths an issue it's only four hours to do literally everything.

Played this through completion yesterday, begun ever so slightly at the morning and then came back to it later in the afternoon. [sp]I stopped near the end of act 1 because I had errands to run, so when I got back later on the day I resumed it and oh gosh I did not fucking expect that. I don't regret going into it blind. 10/10 I should have heeded the warnings[/sp] Bought the fan pack, this game was solid as fuck.

who would've thought that [sp]this game would've given me the biggest anxiety attack i've ever experienced i feel like a fucking awful person now[/sp] [editline]21st October 2017[/editline] [sp]i genuinely can't continue. this is just too much[/sp]

[sp]I didn't realize the poems were so important, I didn't try to impress any particular girl and got the fucked up ending. I feel like I missed a lot. It was still great though.[/sp] [editline]20th October 2017[/editline] [QUOTE=richard9311;52799698]Why did you spoil yourself like that?

I noticed that text and image files some time appear and disappear in the game folder while you play

Some who could read quick or skip a lot of line can be done with it within 3; others take a while to go through a single text box + savescumming while they are at it.
