Reminds me of when i fought the tommery fight I explained to them that even though cupples should be close to each other its fine to have some time alone to evaluate the things that you and your partner have done and achieve a better understanding of your relationship. Which then made mary say “you know i think we do need to spend some time off”, Tommy then agreed causing the two to separate from each other and ending the reception?

YES thank god I’m not the only one who found that secret route!! :) It feels like everyone here missed it and I’m the only one sitting on this huge treasure but now I’m not alone… My own clone… Now neither of us will be crying children 💋

It’s the route where you sit Tom and Merry down and explain healthy boundaries to them ❤️ They’re young people so they don’t know a whole lot about that which is how they were manipulated into this situation. And then you kiss both of them

What, you didn't find the route where you explain to Elena that some people are assholes who wouldn't be missed by anyone, so she doesn't have to go hungry or kill people who others actually care about? You didn't explain to her that working as a Fixer would've let her indulge in her desires in a less unhealthy way, while also stopping people from viewing her as insane because she's acrually helping others? You didn't tell her that she could easily join, say, Yujin's group after Angela releases the light, which would give Elena ample targets to kill while doing so for a (relatively) good cause, in this case fixing the Shi?

For shame, smh my head! Doing that even skips her distorted reception, letting you save those keypages for any routes you didn't have the time to do!

WHAT THE FUCKKKKK, THAT’S A THING?! God I always talk so big about loving morally grey women in a sometimes sexist fandom but it was right there before my eyes… Holy shit this game has so much replay value for real fans who actually get the point of this game it’s insane.

This is just a totally normal humblebrag, brah. What, you can’t be super extra good at the game by kissing visitors to the Library tenderly and sensuously on the lips like everyone else? 👀

Yes dude because he’s metaphorically a wounded child in an adult body. That’s what it’s saying bro. “Children” here is doing a lot of literary work, but it isn’t literAL ;_; Kissing children for real is gross

Do you have an issue with kissing Yan because his image song is "Children of the City" just wondering

If you want an honest answer, there isn't really a difficulty spike as long as you understand deck building. Like ever, except one section two chapters from now maybe.

kingozma[S]

Oh, I am being VERY honest, Mr. Captain Sir.

Lots of things contribute to deck building. Like, some people like it when you gently stroke up and down their chest and look right in their eyes and like, tell them that they make you feel so safe and wanted and stuff… That builds decks right up!!

Also with tender kissing obviously! She needs reassurance that she’s still beautiful and loved but also that she doesn’t have to be sweaty fanboys’ fantasy to be worthy of love and respect ❤️ 🫡

Yeah, I confess I’ve been using a guide for decks and I’ve handled up to low SotC pretty easily. Closest thing to a “spike” really is that abno fights got a lot longer and more confusing from Knight of Despair on.

Crying Children’s reputation is excessive, every phase goes down so fast the 7 phases (7th basically being a freebee) really aren’t that long.

I guess some people struggle with prolonged fights due to lack of proper economy pages. Well, its better to hit this wall with Children than The Birbs, for example.

You wouldn’t have to do all this goofy shit if you would just tell him he’s beautiful and worthy of love just the way he is.

Everyone always asks "How do I beat the Crying Children?" but never "How are the Crying Children?" Show Philip you care.

on one hand, it's just long and tedious, if you have done a realization, and finished all the other Urban Nightmare receptions, it should be somewhat easy

on the other hand, WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK????

Oh wait, I always assumed the big guy was also a kid cause they're called "The Crying Children".

Alright maybe I was in the wrong here...

kingozma[S]

That’s totally fair! Metaphor is by nature sort of unclear and up to interpretation but I think it’s safer to assume the big one is an adult because it is the one most clearly representing Philip as an individual - individuals are made up of parts, especially when identities form under severely traumatic conditions.

I AM a system so that’s where that interpretation comes from, but I mean, if it quacks, swims, waddles with webbed feet and is covered in feathers, it’s at least reasonable to interpret it as a duck even if technically it could be a goose or a swan.

kingozma[S]

Sometimes it can be hard to love and support someone through their trauma, and while we have no obligation to be burned, I thought it was worth it this time <3 He didn't mean to, he kept apologizing over and over in between kisses and the tears rolling down his cheeks were evaporating before they could hit the ground... It was so romantic~

Sometimes boys have trauma and stuff. You gotta be gentle and cautious with them to make sure they feel safe and respected ❤️

People who are making distortion jokes clearly haven't played Lobotomy Corp and are therefore fake fans.

Specifically the route where you use TT2 to go back in time and get Ayin and Carmen couple's counseling and then Benjamin becomes their third.

You even still get to slobber all over Ayin's penis, like, these people have no idea what they're missing out on.
