Omg i had no idea they were even considering making a second one, that's cool!! I'd love to see another similar story from the same writers. I loved how the character stories all connected too, it's a really well-formed narrative! And yeah, it's not super close to ZE in a lot of ways, but I think the main point of comparison for me was the way it uses the fact that it's a video game to creatively tell its narrative. Like, using the save & sound on/off buttons in the menu to get past certain parts and realizing at the end that you could do that because you, the player, are a ghost interfering with the story who has otherworldly powers?? Amazing!! So that part reminded me a lot of both the dual screens in 999 and the flowchart's story relevance in VLR.
hi i was checking your backloggd and you have excellent taste!!! 👀❤️ we have so many games in common, i followed you for otome only but you even played paranormasight, i didn't know there was anyone around me who played it!! fghkfhgk
Omg yes I loved Paranormasight!!!
I played it back in February and I could hardly put it down! The story was so interesting and I love love love when games get creative with how they mix the gameplay and narrative elements. It reminded me a lot of Zero Escape actually, so that could be part of why I like it so much lol. It's cool to see someone else who played it! :)
As much as I love otome, I've actually been a mystery game fan for a lot longer lol so I play a lot in that genre and I love to talk about those games too!

Lynette... is scary.
Using her bow on to match her father with... a roomba...
Spoilers ahead, if you haven't seen that yet, please go experience it yourself first.
30 days of him courting a roomba in her office.
And making a bed of flowers for it and then being overjoyed the roomba accepted his gift...
Lynette, you're going to lose your mind eventually.
Still not over your roomba crush? 😂

OH yeah i forgot . if u want to pick up tmgs then you have to check with the info character to know the love interests + friends' birthdays and phone numbers. my first playthrough i didn't know so i just stumbled into a guy being the one pursuing my heroine lmaooo
oh cool thank you! i really appreciate the tips!! :) I'm super curious now lol, so i downloaded a rom of the first game today and I'm gonna try to play a little of it! :)
it’s so funny when people online act like women reading trashy romance novels is like. a new phenomenon and a sign of the downfall of society bc this has never been a thing before. this has been an extremely popular genre of book for ages. the only difference now is that they’re written by women who wanted to fuck kylo ren. which i guess is annoying. out of every man in star wars like be so serious. they had harrison ford in those movies
A short comic I made based on one of the endings

i'm playing persona 5 with the fem!joker mod because i am weird about games where the protag is a guy (would be a LONG rant to explain) but romancing ryuji is reminding me of how much i love ryuji lmao.
side note: i'm not in the fandom but i'm still aware that akechi/joker is the most popular ship but it's really funny to me because. my only experiences with persona 5 are this streamer's playthrough (he called ryuji best girl and always declared his love for ryuji but didn't even notice akechi was gay) and my own playthrough (romanced ryuji before even meeting akechi). as far as i'm concerned akechi is always pining for a protag who is Not Interested and Already Dating Ryuji
omg ok SO! I love Ryuji, that is my favorite guy <3 -- P5 is a game where I chose my fave early and it just never changed for the whole game. Love him lol <3
I played royal on switch, so no mods for me, but the fem joker one definitely looks cool! I would have loved to romance Ryuji as part of the game lol. I chose not to have Joker date anyone in my playthrough just bc it didn't feel natural to me.
Joker/Akechi is a great ship narratively, just because character foils are like that sometimes lmao, and I do really like it, but!! I definitely love Pegoryu too <3 -- The two ships kinda serve different purposes imo -- Ryuji is the cute boyfriend that Joker gets to have a sweet and happy relationship with, and Akechi is the guy he's undeniably intertwined with in an obsessive, dramatic, and kinda tragic way, which is a dynamic that I honestly can't get enough of lol. So I love both for different reasons.
Also I highly recommend playing the FemC route in P3 Portable if you haven't already! It's a great way to experience the story, and she has some great social links (Saori, my beloved 😭💖).
if you’re happy for literally any reason no matter how “small” or “stupid” you’re winning in this world as far as I can tell
I'm Wren! I like otome games, rpgs, and mysteries! Feel free to reach out, as I'd love to chat! :)
