i realise in retrospect i shouldve used a cg from the ooe trial instead. ive failed you all im sorry

Can I get use the Ooe demo save to continue in the full game?

Ooe tmr huh. Time passes so fast. What are you currently playing anons?

https://vndb.org/r122592
Didn't know that someone made a fan android port for paradise. Based.

>>48061600
>Ooe
I'm hyped to hear how it is but I doubt I'm going to be playing it on release

>what are you currently playing
that other anon gave me the drive to go back and finish Zettai Kaikyuu Gakuen
I only have Touya and Rei left now, although I'll try to pace myself by alternating routes

>>48062003
How is it anon, Zettai? I want to start it too desu. I'm between this and blackish house.

For bl maybe I'll wait for ooe and start Haiiro or another pilslash bl, like Dystopia no Ou or paradise fandisks.

>>48061600
Hooked on a mobage, Noctilucent. It has dark fantasy elements and a lot of angst and lore, that I did not expect. Interesting plot too. Made me miss lamento.
Other than that, waiting for ooe and DistortedCode. Might start 9 rip or virche.

>>48062059
ZKG is pretty vanilla and cute as far as my tastes go, but the guys are juuust menhera enough to keep me interested, a bit edgier than the average console otome. The mystery aspect is 50/50, this heroine is DUMB so there's a lot stuff you see coming from a mile away, but there's also plenty of things to ponder about that only get revealed in the true routes.

I'll always recommend playing Paradise Musubi and maybe Kiwame. Musubi feels like a third of the game that was cut out and I consider it unskippable, Kiwame is more optional but nice for extra character routes, and it gives a lot more closure. Paradise is really a trilogy.

>>48062147
Thank you anon. Maybe I'll start BH then, I heard Z is the best of all and what I'm looking for. But Zettai is definitely on my list too.
I'm specifically looking for something darker and psychological thriller. So maybe I should just go ahead with paradise.

Looking forward to seeing what people think about Ooe. For me, it's too early to make decisions on new releases before reading others' impressions so I hope it ends up being enjoyable.
>>48062059
Oh yeah, I'm the other anon who's reading 絶対階級学園. Glad to see others getting inspired to read it as well. As much as I enjoy reading it and felt it was extremely useful for my purposes (voice collection/replay + JP learning to improve my reading speed), the repetitive writing is what kind of kills it, especially during the common route where you're forced to read the same or similar content over and over again. The protagonist might be dumb, though I think in many cases her denseness is on the believable side to me.
So far I've finished everyone's 石ころ routes just to check out all the LIs and Haru's 薔薇 route. As mentioned before by the other anon, the game is fairly vanilla and predictable; however, I have to say the latter (Haru's 薔薇 route) did give a rather big impression on me. For what it is, the characterization and plot in Haru's Rose route was done well to the point where it did felt like it conveyed something meaningful. The protagonist's ultimate downfall to conform to the school's stifling environment and her lack of empathy to understand Haru's dilemma felt particularly on the heavy side. A throughly exhausting read as a result; however, I really enjoyed how the writing constantly paralleled Francisco Goya and the raw emotions associated in tandem. I thought it was on the unique side with how those things were pulled off, especially towards the good end's finale. The bad end was also memorable which perfectly gave that frustrating sense of “helplessness” from both the LI and the protagonist herself. As I understand it, it's not for everyone since I did read commentary where others strongly disliked how depressing the route was but as someone who's very much into 鬱 in the medium, Haru in general, especially his Rose route, did fulfill that itch and executed it rather nicely within non-R18 boundaries for me so far. It's not Gayoushi's level of suffering or anything in otome but it's enough to give that "sense of suffocation" where the good ending in particular was appropriately cathartic.
At any rate, I don't think Zettai is a bad read overall so far if you end up liking any of the love interests and their tropes. They're mostly pretty good besides maybe Ichiha who I felt was intentionally made to be horrible IMO. While the game can be tiring and repetitive to read, I'm still very adament on leaving Riku for last since that dumb クソガキ stole my heart on my first blind playthrough and I'm a perfectionist about reading everything before getting to the best. I'd read his 石ころ route just to roll around in the trash with him again before reading the true route.
>>48062147
>I'll always recommend playing Paradise Musubi
Yeah, it's best to read the Musubi FD afterwards once you finish the main game at the very least. The games do feel rather incomplete otherwise. I'd ought to read Kiwame at some point.

Can't wait for Ooe, too bad I have to work

Finished the second route is 東京殺人鬼 学校の怪談.

Honestly I kinda gave up on the romance aspect of the game. Even the second route's one was fucking boring for me. I think a lot of it may have to do with the MC, it feels like a robot trying to become human who imprints on people rather than genuine love.

Which I assume it's a plot point, the whole plot is not clear to me yet but it seems like they are running some kind of simulation? And the MC is some kind of construct made 3 months ago? I assume Mikiko may be some kind of top god

Kinda wild this came out out the same day as Arcadia because they feel at the opposite, product wise.

>>48066274
The next route is pretty different, you might find the relationship there more interesting.

>>48061583
No, you can't load the old saves but can use the file that saves your read text and settings. Seems like some parts got changed (?) since they're treated as unread when skipping. Also seems like part 2 will be free to everyone who bought the first one.

>I really enjoyed how the writing constantly paralleled Francisco Goya
Oh yes, I knew it was gonna be good when Haru said his favorite painting was Saturn Devouring His Own Son. I'm one of the resident cannibalfags so I immediately perked up. I knew not to expect gore because this game is basically PG-rated but the writer managed to deliver darkness despite that.
Incidentally I seem to remember Haru was written by one of the Mashou Megane writers? I wonder if it was the same as Cidre, that one also got a Very Meaningful painting (the Judgement of Paris)
Meanwhile it wasn't explicitly referenced but I'm pretty sure Riku's bara route has at least one scene inspired by The Roses of Elagabalus, it was so perfectly fitting too.

>It's not Gayoushi's level of suffering or anything
Honestly the biggest thing holding this game back was that the stakes are firmly highschool level (the big conspiracy aside.)
There's only so much I can get invested in petty nonsense like cafeteria seating and prom queen drama, even when it's played up to grotesque levels. It's probably way more relatable for the intended audience though, so that's on me for being an old fart.

>Ichiha
You rarely see such complete jerk LIs outside of the dedicated games for M neko-chans, a pleasant surprise. I actually wondered if he was totally irredeemable at times.

>Riku for last
I totally understand, I loved him too. Insecure tsundere dork who quickly turns out to be all dere and all insecure, he has that high maintenance big dog energy too. Despite that he actually managed to dazzle me with his chivalry in his ishikoro route. 8/10.
That said, I seem to remember Rei's true route needs to be played last? Something about unlocks.

>Incidentally I seem to remember Haru was written by one of the Mashou Megane writers?
As far as I can tell Haru's routes were all written by Mashou Megane's writer, yeah. Incidentally, Yonesuke was the only edgy R18 writer on staff so it felt fitting with how the content in regards to Haru was more dark. Though honestly, it was still refreshing how the 薔薇 writing in Haru's did not rely on anything too shocking but rather preferred to portray a more genuine, sober attempt on symbolism and the consequences with bullying/conformism. The abandoned cat Haru and the protagonist played with and its role in the story was probably the saddest part to me. Much like Haru, the cat was neglected and looked down upon by the school's students. As per usual, they were blinded by their pretensions where they couldn't careless that the cat was even suffering - it eventually died from its injuries. The writing in that part was striking to me once Neri found the cat's corpse and dug its grave with her bare hands by herself. It was a nail to the coffin to show that her relationship with Haru had no future as the cat "Haru" died along with its painting.

>It's probably way more relatable for the intended audience though, so that's on me for being an old fart.
Yeah, I'm also out of school for years myself so it becomes somewhat more difficult to relate to as time goes by. I think the school environment is a big reason why 絶対階級学園 feels so restrictive and repetitive with its themes for sure. There is only so much you can do and have the game non-R18 at the same time. For that reason, I felt Zettai would have probably benefited as a R18 title with more writers like Mashou Megane's writer and/or writers with significant experience in portraying bullying as a theme. Guess I got too spoiled by reading some of Gayoushi's works. Her fixation with bullying in some of the worst ways possible rubbed off on me to the point where I'm just subconsciously comparing everything and expecting something similar to scratch that itch again. Though, I still genuinely wish Zettai was a bit more explict and varied with its bullying for that reason instead of going off on the usual drama about "oh wow, you're a stoner? lmao0o go clean the toilets, you pleb", "damn those stoners sure are losers compared to us roseCHADs...", etc. Popularity contests do get old. Dumb jokes asides, I haven't read everything yet of course so maybe something else will pleasantly surprise me like Haru's whole thing.

>Ichiha
He's so anti-(You) it's no wonder he's not very popular and his merchandise is so cheap on online retailers lol. It's kind of interesting how his 石ころ route felt less of a "self insert" story but more like empathizing as a bystander instead. I have pretty high tolerance but the protagonist's stupidity is really frustrating in that route IMO

>Riku
I have a thing for arrogant tsunderes but are actually cluelessly dumb so Riku just ticked all my boxes as soon as I saw how much of a unkempt slacker he was. I headcanon him as a closet pervert (which is ironic in how his bad endings were pull off in the Pebble route) He can't have that many used napkins suspiciously lying around, especially after the protagonist literally cleaned his room the day before. Also vaguely looks like Azuma from Paradise in some of the official art so I can't help but feel like he's made for abuse as well. I wonder if that's because Kotomi Youji was one of the sub artists for Zettai. But yes, Riku's Pebble route gave me such a huge impression when I first started the game - it was really sweet and heartwarming. That confession of his still remains my favorite until now. I get a good laugh at everytime he says or does something totally rude but Riku's dere side is also a 10/10 for me. Stupid noisy dog who can't clean after himself but is still made for cuddles when he's at his lowest.

Yeah, I think Rei's true route is unlockable after clearing Touya' true route at least, no? That's confirmed in the 攻略 I looked up anyway.

My friend mentioned they cleared Riku last but might have been misremembering. I'll just see how it goes if not.

I recently found out that some lines in Taisho Alice had actually been made "milder" for the console ports.
ZKG, Hana Awase, Taisho Alice, what other games got this treatment asides from full on R18 games?

>>48068770
This always happens in console versions, yes. Same with BWS and the other games that you mentioned. Not sure about Ken ga Kimi. The rest did change cg and lines.

>>48068770
Are console people really okay with supporting censorship and limiting creative freedom like this? The medium is so doomed.

>>48069693
New console otome are ok now. Matsurika is full porn and judging by some gore details virche had they're fine now. To this day, I don't know though how the fuck moshikami got that vita port.

>>48068762
I was pretty surprised when the cat died, given the relatively light and fluffy tone of the game. But I was like fine, it's more meaningful and realistic like that. Then he fucking ruined his painting of it. That one was a real punch in the gut. You're entirely right about the symbolism, yeah. Quite a good route.

>school setting
honestly I can't believe that excuse after reading Shingakkou, also set in a stifling boarding school. They managed to do so much more with it. Granted the R18G label helped creativity let's say, but that one had actual stakes.

>Ichiha
I actually played Ichiha right after Riku so I kept unfavorably comparing his reactions to Riku's in similar situations. I didn't hate his route or anything, it was outrageous and there were at least TWO yandere murder-suicide ends and I get where he was coming from, it's realistic even, but I was amused at the game trying to pretend this truescum cowardly asshole is a romantic love interest. Like they gave you so little reason to stick with him, I kept thinking "yeah well Riku would have chosen ME over his reputation..." Ichiha's whole route only makes sense because irrational love at first sight.

>made for abuse
I initially thought Haru was the designated bully victim and I guess he was, but actually he's actually quite intense and has a backbone/rebellious spirit. Despite his social standing being in the dirt he's totally the strugglefuck kukkoro type who'll be pridefully glaring at you.
And then I saw Riku's "nightmare" recollection that he was actually some "dumpster-diving slum urchin who would do anything for food" and he immediately took the top spot. Thankfully the game was much kinder to him than my imagination.
Somehow I didn't make the connection to Azuma but yes, I totally see it now.

Elite types "secretly" being slobs with disordered rooms is such a common trope otome trope but I love it.
I can't see Riku being a pervert though, I think he barely even knows what sex is. Like come on, he invited to his room to play games all night and read him bedtime stories. He's so sweet and immature.

>>48069830
What do you mean do they show sex scenes in matsurika or just fade to black?

I have yet to read Shingakkou or any other school related VN that struck me in such a way to make a fair comparison here, but I'll take your word. I suppose it goes back to the original point that in spite of having somewhat more explict content, ZKG is still a relatively "safe" work made within industry standards to cater to the audience in mind 仕方ない　
Not to be whatever and all about potential neverevers but it makes me wonder how the FD will turn out to supplement the existing writing if that ever comes out.

>Ichiha
I always felt Ichiha's 石ころ route was completely intentional as a way to strike a stark contrast between him and the likes of Touya or Riku (especially the former who Ichiha constantly shittalks about. It just shows how much he is the complete opposite of Touya). In general, the route was there to sympathize with the "average joe or middleman" who wished to maintain the status quo in such an environment. Unlike Riku, Ichiha was a normal ミツバチ student and did not hold a position of power; therefore he was guided with more practical concerns to save face and avoid any complications with dealing those in the Pebble class. He was also not an emotional wreck who immediately fell head over heels to the protagonist on first sight. For that reason, it never seemed to me he was genuinely attracted to Neri until the end of the route when he finally acknowledges her feelings and efforts of course In reality, he just didn't had real reason to because besides being under the Queen's good favor, Neri wasn't particularly an outstanding student who he could attach himself to as a way to build more of his reputation as a Honeybee student but merely more of a chess piece to his philandering. Of course she loses that "position" as soon as she gets kicked out off as a Pebble.

Though despite him being astutely aware of the consequences of associating with those in the Pebble caste and his need to maintain his reputation, he still wanted to have his cake and eat it too by fooling around with other women. This still puzzles though. I'm probably missing something I guess but it baffles me how this guy didn't get thrown down to Pebble for sleeping around since middle school. Surely the girls he mistreated and dumped would have spread bad rumors about him to pit people against him, right? How is slutting out even tolerated and totally not something that doesn't besmirch the school's reputation/be a bad influence on others? It's just bizarre how there are no real repercussions until the end of the route where he finally decides to apologize to these girls and then gets his assed kicked by them. So yeah, I guess it's still fairly realistic as you mentioned. He might be the closest to how someone in real life would act in such circumstances so I can't 100% fault him. Ichiha is very "un-moe"

>Haru
I had similar first impressions of Haru as you did. As someone who has a hard time appreciating kuuderes and those who passively take bullying, Haru came out to be a pleasant surprise where he didn't exactly fit into that trope either. Despite how crushing his Rose route was on him, he had some pretty great lines I found to be very memorable. That one bad end scene where the protagonist pushed him to compete with other 世話係 in a painting contest had really showcased his rebellious side. While Haru was forced to concede at the end, I couldn't help but cheer him on for biting back against everyone. Neri insisted she was backstabbed by him, but in reality, she too backstabbed him by subjecting his pride as an artist to be devalued as entertainment. It was really just tit for tat here.
それとも、石ころには見えない絵が描いてあるわけ？『裸の王様』みたいにさ
Quite the cheeky line to say to Rei of all people after bringing nothing but a blank canvas to the tea party.
But yeah, Haru's very much like a capricious kitten so him being symbolized as one was just perfect to me. His 毒舌 is some good stuff. Pretty different and far more relatable from what I've seen so far as a LI so I totally get why he ended up top on the popularity list even though I still prefer Riku.

>Riku
I got thrown off when Riku made a point that he was a man when the protagonist tried to stay with him earlier in his Pebble route - found it to be kinda suggestive even if overused. It's been a while so not it's 100% fresh in my mind. Also had the misfortune of reading some bad 鬱 nukige not too long. It had some ultra キモイ scheming guy who kind of looked like Riku so I'm just dumb. My doubt and perverse mind is always in the gutter from all the depraved shit I know about, go figure. Though, I still love Riku regardless of any screwed perceptions I have of him. Most pure hearted manchild who I want to mess with. Would most likely play video games and shitpost all day if the school allowed students to have PCs.

Does ooe have fixed routes or can I just pick one out of the three available?

>>48074539
Seems to be fixed because there's a correct answer to all the choices so far.

>very "un-moe"
exactly this. These types of games are supposed to give you prince charmings or at least guys that make you go dokidoki and he was so brutally anything but that, very surprising for an LI.
I'm surprised too that he didn't get dropped, I think he was just really good at manipulating the girls to go nuts so they look like THEY are the menhera ones responsible for everything, but you'd think everyone would have wisened up after like, the 50th time that happened. I mean Moeka was on to him already.

>Haru
Neri was such a clueless bitch in the bara route. He would have preferred literally getting fucked in public over being turned into an artpet for rose bullies' amusements but she was totally oblivious to how she was trampling on the one thing he cared about. Well all the bara routes have that bimbofication corruption vibe so she was too far gone I guess.
That was one of the lines I immediately screenshoted too, lmao. Him and Ichiha had the best mean-spirited jabs.

>Riku made a point that he was a man
lmao no, I immediately had him pegged as harmless after that. In porn this would have been a sokuochi flag. "oooh watch out, if we're alone together I might make a move on you!" and then immediately cut to him getting amazon-pressed into a sobbing mess

I got a good laugh at them trashtalking Touya. ダサい gotta be one of the most hilarious words to me.

>>48076021
Eh, there was that point when he literally went around apologizing to every one of his exes and getting beaten up but I guess it happened offscreen, that did satisfy me.

Thinking back on it, Haru being in the resistance was probably a sign of his rebel's heart. Yeah I know he said he only wanted to paint in peace and chides Touya constantly but that's just him being tsundere I think, that's way lighter than his actual venom too.

>>48069693
It sucks but it's obvious the changes are to avoid increasing the age rating for just a few random (chara breaking) lines.

>>48070138
From what I've seen, most recent otomate stuff rated D for sexual content have sex scenes written in roundabout ways, but never too explicit. So it's more like 'his fingers explored my deepest kimochii place' with CGs that could be considered slightly suggestive.

>>48076123
Some cg censorship and Nesso turned non blood related brother instead of blood related.

>>48076064
>Eh, there was that point when he literally went around apologizing to every one of his exes and getting beaten up but I guess it happened offscreen, that did satisfy me.
Yeah, I get that. It's more or less pented up feelings and frustration from my part even though I try to set my expectations for this game realistically. I'm just too pampered by other genres I guess so I can't help sometimes but feel "Wait? That's it?". It's perhaps expected for those scenes to be offscreen in otome but eh, I'm one of those lizard brain autists who gets too excited from more involved action scenes and seeing things end with a bang by having justice served. From what I've seen, a lot of otome has the tendency to not be as descriptive in some ways which only leaves me wanting more.
IMO Touya would have been way more interesting to me if they simply shown more in that respect where you are actually witnessing him fighting against those higher up in the caste. I'd say he's a bit too perfect of a character where he isn't showing more of that manly heroism at a more concrete, descriptive level enough to be "cool enough". All too often his resistance feats happen off screen.

I don't know about the censored Switch version or what was been censored but I'm just reading the PC version since I figured I can easily skip everything in the censored Switch version for the exclusive content later on. If it's just CGs/special scenes, those are easier to recognize and read through while random removed text is not.
At any rate, you can use Magpie to upscale the PC version which more or less looks OK if your PC can handle it. That's what I'm doing.

I'm going to wait too because I'm a eop and it's difficult hooking kurosawas games, but it'd be nice, if anons can share the sex cg.

>>48081333
No

>>48081333
Yes, but he has to acknowledge that I'm a cheater now.

>>48081333
sex with shiba while majima seethes

>>48083443
If you let maruki write freely, Shiba would be balls deep Majima since he smells like Yuriko .

Arcana famiglia getting port, probably.

Is pilslash yet? Should have announced a new game by now. Never released DnO cds too.

>>48081399
Maybe I'm a slow reader, but I've been playing part 1 since release and it feels like I'm still stuck in the prologue.

>>48083904
What part are you at? It's really long even if you're a fast reader.

>>48083939
A bit past the part where they found the boat. I didn't play the demo so I had to start from the very beginning.

>>48081333
Yes

>>48083973
I think that's about halfway through the first route. I'm not sure what could be considered the prologue because it feels like there are a lot of unanswered questions even after finishing that route, though I found it very satisfying. And now reading the second route is giving me a lot of questions about the third LI, so I wonder how much of the full picture we're getting in part 1, considering there'll be 6-7 more routes in part 2.

>>48083443
endless sex with all my other husbands while majima jerks off about it and seethes

>>48083681
They had to do crowdfunding for DnO so I'm guessing that they are pretty much broke.

One thing I like about Otomate is that when they ported old games to switch they tended to package main game & fandisc together, it is very neat for collectors. If a game had no fandisc then they'd add some something extra, its not just lazy 1:1 port like other companies. There are many cases where companies only bothered to port to main game to the latest console while leaving the fandisc & sequel to rot on psp, it's sickening.

>>48083608
nice, both switch and steam ports

This game was released 13 years ago. Happy anniversary!

>Ooe's official name for localization is Owen
Just why?

>>48089580
I guess in case people missed the very obvious and then there were none inspiration. Wish they kept it the same though

>>48089580
There was a localization announcement?

>>48090086
Dunno but Kurosawa mentioned wanting to do an English and Chinese version after the full game is released.

>>48090429
Hope it's not mtl.

>>48090635
ADELTA's previous 2 games were done by Mangagamer, they will probably get this new game too so it will have decent translation fortunately. BL is lucky to get localized by veterans like MG and Jast, they don't do ML like the otoge companies.

>>48091055
>Jast
eyepussy intensifies

>>48091072
Still more soulful than MTL

Where do Japanese even post fics? Pixiv? It seems kinda empty

>>48092094
Yes pixiv but otomege/BL VNs usually don't get much.

>>48092094
Pixiv, sometimes twitter in the form of pictures. But you'll quickly learn that Japanese teen girls are just as bad at it as western fic writers. The best ones are usually printed doujins, though those can be just as dogshit if you pick the wrong writer.

>>48092094
A few years ago they used picbland a lot too but no idea what it's like now.

>>48082336
just the sex cg

schizoqueen delivered schizokino but better wait for p2

Speaking of schizokino what to make of all the mentions of incest on the island and everyone from the island and their descendants looking the same...

>>48093457
Thanks anon
Are endings happy or tragic?

>>48095571
One メリバ kind of ending but the rest are pretty happy, though people die in every route

Does oosaki rape anyone or is he vanilla?

>>48097237
He's not vanilla at all, he's just acting how he does because of guilt about his past and origin. So yes he does.

>>48097617
Based which LI

>>48090086
"Owen" is used on the game's oficial website https://adeltaz1.wixsite.com/owen

Adelta writes some good porn, jacked off a lot to Kaoru sex scene

>>48097745
Aomi but his sadistic side is there in every route

>>48098513
Was hoping to be him desu kek. Does he do it hanazawa style, like got obssesed with him or as a form of punishment/want to dominate him w/o feelings involved?

Does Ooe have incest or threesomes?

>>48098664
The latter, he couldn't trust him for plot reasons so he wanted "payment" in exchange for letting him go
>>48098756
Incest plays a big role but don't know if anyone is related yet

>>48099260
Thank you for your replies anon, this game is really made for me then.

Is anyone else having trouble running Ooe? I keep getting a blank screen that closes right after popping up every time I try opening the application. My locale has been set to Japanese for years and I tried running it as admin. I don't know what else to do but for now I'm blaming Windows 11.

>>48099608
have you tried running compatibility?

>>48099608
Don't install on C or program files. Install it on desktop. If this doesn't solve it maybe compatibility issue. I also have my pc on jp locale for years but I don't think that it's locale emulators problem. Win 11 suck ass.

>>48099608
I did but it provided no results. Unfortunately I had the same issue with the demo.

>>48099797 (Me)
Accidentally replied to myself. That was meant for >>48099693
>>48099795
I'll give that a try. Thank you.

>Tokimeki Memorial Girls Side 4 - 90% translated
I won't read it but it's nice to see that there is still some life in the fan-translation scene.

Anyone else who has played the whole of part 1, what’s your theories for what’s going on?
I feel like Hinode is likely to be a significant character since he’s so mysterious and is likely to be the 4th main LI alongside the 3 from the first part. Though it feels pretty implausible for a random 13 year old to have set all this up, even if he’s faking his disabilities. Toyosu is also very suspicious but it’s too obvious that he’d be the mastermind himself.

How do I find a fujo gf?

JAST has Masquerade up for pre-order now, guess it's coming out soon. I wonder if they will license another Pil/Slash game after this.

>>48101882
Hinode being wrath makes him seem very important. Wasn't he mentioned to be one of the main LIs before? Also, if the invite was really for his mother, why did she let him go presumably knowing about the crime accusations? And why was she the only woman invited? There are other mentions of a sole woman on an island with only men around so whatever's going on seems connected to the lore.
Toyosu always taking care of Hinode seemed genuine so unless they were in on it together it seems weird that he'd be the mastermind and do that. Maybe he and Hinode's mom have something to do with it.
What do you think of the letters in the extras? They seem to be from Ooe An so I wonder how that ties into things. They might be for Daiba or Shijoumae? Who else is married? They both seem sketchy to me.

>>48103239
Didn’t Toyosu have Hinode’s invitation? We haven’t actually seen it so it’s possible he was lying about the contents. The two of them working together is entirely possible IMO, though in that case I feel it’s more likely that Toyosu is helping Hinode out, than the other way around.
With the letters, I think they’re most likely addressed to Daiba, she called the recipient お義兄さま, which makes him seem like a youngish man to me. My guess is that it’s meant in the sense of a brother in law rather than a stepbrother, and the recipient’s wife is the same person as the sister mentioned. I don’t have the game to hand right now so maybe there’s something contradicting this I missed.
There’s an older assistant lady mentioned in the letters who is probably Hinode’s mother. In a story like this it’s cheating to have the mastermind be on the outside but I wouldn’t be surprised if she was involved somehow, since there is at least one woman involved in the plan, the woman that Funeno spoke to on the phone.

>Drama CD series where guys pretend to be your mommy
I'm sure this is someone's fetish

>>48102987
I still can't believe they're translating Masquerade in the current year, that's incredibly risky.

>>48100134
Renaming the .exe to "ooe" (English characters) worked! Thank you anon, I don't know why I didn't think of checking the support page.

>>48103685
I like reverse reverse traps but this is too faggy and feminine.

>>48103805
Their fans will buy it.

>>48103805
It sounds like deranged enough gay shit for its target audience though.

>>48103805
The medium is niche so moralfags won't even know about it. It's not like they plan to put the game on Steam.
I feel like I have seen nukige with worse kink from them but then that targets a different audience.

>>48103808
Man, what a weird bug/fix. I'm glad it works for you though. Do post your impressions.

>>48104033
That anon probably doesn't have Japanese language pack installed.

>>48103685
cute

I haven't finished the game yet, but I like both Aomi and Takeshiba a lot more than I thought I would.

>>48103685
This is gay as shit. I'd rather have a real women over this

>>48104001
You can wishlist it on Steam rn

So anons how was it

>>48113019
I want to start it, but it'll probably get picked up by a company to localize it. But then I'll end up playing it in jp because I'll get turned off by the censorship and faggot translators self insert lame jokes. So should I just start it or buy ooe?
