I get it, no worries. ^_^ It's a curious thought, how parallel is the game? If we don't interfere, would Shizune, four months of Hisao into Rin's route, realize due to some event that she might after all see more in Shiina than her closest friend? Would we know, from how Hisao and Rin are total lone...

A road made out of glass shards. And a ball which can feel pain.

Don't logic us!

Remind me to buy you - and whoever else of the team is around Sydney - a beer if I ever get to visit Australia

Pretty certain this is the good ending: after act 1, do the following choices: 1. Tell the truth 2. Ignore his insane ramblings 3. Ask about Hanako 4. Address it 5. Talk about Hanako 6. Mention the letter I think that's all the choices and I'm pretty sure I got the good end. Seemed like a pretty go...

This was at the same time the most powerful and the most horribly fucked up fan fic of KS I've read so far. Much congratulations. Wow. (edit) I also thought the story was very clear. You get to the end, you are stumped for a moment, but then reading back a lot of it sticks out immediately. Shizune's...

Oh, interesting thought on the "Are VNs games"-subject: I am currently reading "Reality is broken" by Jane McGonigal (just started), and she defines four aspects to a game, apparently takes from how Bernard Suits defined them: A goal. Rules. A feedback system. Voluntary participa...

Did everyone really buy Lilly as this angel of a person? I mean let's be honest here, she's shown as such, but it's not a real person. As overdone as the characters are, my brain stuffs them out with believable attributes when reading the story, because otherwise the character cannot really be proce...

Oh, Hanako's bad ending hurts.

But, I thought it pales next to Shizune's bad one (if you haven't seen the good one before!) and especially Rin's neutral one, which was completely crushing in it's finality.

Is. Is this possible? Some of the later levels were horrible. The last boss was surprisingly easy once I managed to get a useful layout done (each individual reactor is easy, assuming you try to just spam-fire the weapons and notice it works perfectly fine, screw control :P ). There was very little...

While many of the routes will leave you sad, I don't consider it a bad type of sadness. Some stuff is even depressing, but it's still fiction, and it comes out in an ... inspiring manner, so to say. Difficult to describe I suppose. Hrm. For example, you did Hanako, right? Well, it's pretty heavy stu...

Well yes, but they'd feel misplaced among novels, too. Like I said, they do feel misplaced among games, but that's where they're usually placed right now, and I'm going with the flow so far. I mean I read about it on /r/Games, I probably wouldn't be looking there for books, so hey, happy someone els...

Very nicely written, but I think personally I'd leave it standing like this. I feel it's as strong as it is especially because it focuses so specifically on this brief moment, showing a flash of an otherwise unseen perspective. Make it more, and it becomes too normal (in the context of the story). O...

I haven't played Deponia (yet), and I think a lot are in that situation. In fact, I still have a fairly large backlog, though I'm slowly working through it. Finished Dishonored and Kingdom Hearts 3D this weekend, working on ZombiU and Darksiders II now. Then there's ~12 more games left to check off,...

Hrm, tricky. There are different scenes I value as extremely powerful for different reasons. Chief among which is the the rooftop explanation in Shizune's arc. I couldn't help but be completely stunned with what spin that put on the story so far. And more so, how that changed the most-annoying into ...
