There’s a fair few names that will work, but as for the Hard/Easy toggle? The names to try are Aoba and Daichi. Which toggles which? That’s for you to test.
Oh! And there’s also a Near Impossible mode as well. As to the name that’ll toggle that, well, the answer’s pretty close.
It’s still being worked on, but the pandemic kicked my ass. I do hope to get something out soon, as alongside the first part of Kokoroiyashi I’ve been expanding on some things in the first route to make it feel a more complete narrative. Please hang on a little longer as I work to bring you more of this story! orz
There’s no “good end.” There’s only a True and a Bad End. If you keep getting the Bad End, I suggest having Daichi be more honest with his feelings when talking to Rintaro.
I’m glad you enjoyed it, and I’m pleasantly surprised by the LP. Sorry if some of the SFX were harsh, but they helped the reader feel like Roach and Nana at times
Eyup, same person, just younger. And while reading WtWDR isn't necessary, you'll see a few call-forwards. (As well as the Easy and Hard mode of the quiz being locked behind certain names)
Its hard to say. We're aiming for sometime soon bu there's no real date I can give you. I promise the wait will be worth it though! Just be patient a little longer!
Any order is fine, they’re self-contained stories with characters acting differently in them. Though just for reference: The Final Rule is much shorter than Lost Code, so I personally recommend starting there.
A little more nuanced than that. I took inspiration from the WTC series ( Its name following a similar pattern to Ryu’s own works) but there’s really no overlap. Higurashi is the story of a village and it’s secrets, WtWDR is the story of the Kagemori family and it’s sordid history.
Nope, that’s supposed to happen mostly because the CG’s aren’t done yet. As soon as they are, I’ll throw wide open the gates. But in the bright side, come the full version you can just jump to any ending you like as my way of thanking you for trying the demo version.
It’s an AU. But believe me when I say that those of you who read Tsumihanseishi will have moments that will make you point at the screen and go “I know that thing!”
Lucky you, Kokoroiyashi is Kenji’s route and I hope to load the demo with plenty of Kenji fluff. Because he deserves it.
Getting everything is rather simple, but if you need some help I'll explain the system.
The true end is unlocked by getting AT LEAST two points while a special scene is unlocked by getting all four points. You get one point just for playing, then another for every "correct" choice you make afterwards. The "correct" choices are: 1, 1, 2.
If you've already gotten the true end, just pick the opposite of what I said and you'll unlock the bad end :P
Kenji’s reaction to being asked about Aoba is surprise because “How does this guy who’s lived with us for a few months know about someone I knew over a decade ago?” But when reminiscing, he’s happy about it because, as he said “Although [he] lost [his] mother, it felt like [he] still had both parents.” And it’s then that he realizes that Rintaro and Aoba were more than friends, and Kenji is disappointed that his father wasn’t open about the relationship.
As for his “jealousy” Rintaro really is spending less time with him. Imagine if the only person in your life started telling you “I can’t hang out, I have other things to do” and starts to distance themselves. Meanwhile l, your new roommate is getting all schmoozy with them. Not hard to put two and two together and figure out why you’re getting ignored.
The choices decide if you see the true or bad ends. There's a point system in-game. Get below a certain score and you get the bad end. And there's no issue in Daichi's desires. Its just that he became involved with the wrong person. I wish I could explain more, but we'd be entering spoiler territory in things that I have planned. Just...grin and bear the pain for now. Once all the arcs are out, it'll make sense why things ended the way they did and maybe you'll get that happy ending you want.
There isn't one. No matter your choices, Daichi's relationship with Rintaro will always end in tragedy. The only thing I want people to ask is "Why do things end like this?" Because by asking that question, they can enter the next arc to be released with an open mind and begin to dig deeper into the family's history to learn firsthand why this story has no happy ending.
Hi there! I had an idea for an epilogue regarding the True End, but figured it best to end the story there because as far as the mystery is concerned, that is the end. What happens afterward is just the aftermath of their choices.
The prologue will tie back to the story once I reveal more, but it’s cool you found a parallel between the events of the bad end and the prologue. And yeah, when i heard that track I was like “This needs to be the end theme for the game!”
It’s to be unlocked in Patch 1.1. Had to omit it in order to get the first arc out for the jam. Should come within the next week or so provided I don’t run into issues? With the Extras unlocked, you’ll also understand why there were some hilighted bits of text during the game.
I had to lock that part because there was a few things in the Extras section that I needed to wait on. But the key part I wanted to push (the story updates) were pushed out in the initial release. I've been chugging along working to finish what I need. I'll probably just patch in the CG, music, and Character Info galleries and wait on the last few thing for the Extra Scenes.
