Killing Game
responding here since the last thread 404'd
I'm glad I did it too. I hadn't liked post-prologue Eito very much before this, but I think Goodby Eito was one of the best parts of the game. The way he tells the kid to earn forgiveness with her actions, knowing that it's too late for himself to do that. Also the memory he gave himself, to have one bit of happiness before the end, even though it's fake.
I've only done some of Killing Game so far, and it seems interesting.
If you wanna see behind the locked routes you do have to do one of them, and that one splits into 2 routes that you have to do both of. The unfortunate part is if you make a wrong decision early on you end up on the dreaded Comedy Route everyone bitches about
Actually scratch that I forgot you have to hit the other lock that’s on that side too, so yeah 2 required routes
The 'Rumi
Why should I feel bad whenever she's gone? She caused nothing but problems whenever she's around.
I’m surprised to see a cute Darumi fanart I hadn’t downloaded yet. Nice. Here’s a sketch of one I’ve posted a few times before, gives a slightly different feel than the finished version.
oh no we need Yugamu/Kurara to beat this boss but they're dead in this route!
Nozomi can do it lol
Yeah I'm looking through this artist's twitter and they have a lot of good stuff. Also I like the sketch. Do you know the artist?

The only Takumi Darumi stuff I’ve found is a little rough looking but still cute regardless.
Multiple Eitos Route
Why don't I just fondle them?
x.com
Found this. Really like this artist.
I felt the same
Such an ass pull and makes Nozomi even more of a Mary Sue
Because Eito would move your hand away
Not a fan of any gaeito stuff but cute, and admittedly they’re all sort of connect in the Retsnom route. Maybe I’ll crop Eito out of that one lol. Also I can’t believe I took a screencap of a good Darumi and Eito sketch and didn’t save the damn picture itself. No idea if it’s actual OC or also just found off twitter but I begrudgingly like it. Was probably drunk or something
x.com
Seems this artist has drawn more of those two together
Nozomi
Mary Sue
She really isn't.
This, that's hiruko
Maybe I’ll crop Eito out of that one
Haha I thought the same. Although I have warmed up to Eito since seeing Goodbye Eito. And the idea of Darumi vying for attention is fun.
Damn nice job finding it off that, while I don’t approve of the ship they’re really good
go back in time
get raped for 50 days
Ah yeah same, I was actually the person who was responded to from the last thread talking about that route.
Box Routes and S.F. leave so many plot threads hanging that one could write a sequel just using those threads.
The boxes of blessing in particular are also ass in that they feel more like a fantasy concept than a sci-fi one.
another one
How so
Hiruko is too mean and has too many flaws to be one
I am once again reminding people that the blessings route was written by the Boruto mangaka
Uchikoshi is known for sequel baiting so I really do wonder if we'll get one. Hundred Line more like hundred loose ends amirite
I love Uchikoshi because I'm usually more invested in the mystery and the world over the characters, but fuck me, I loathe his habit of leaving plot threads because he usually doesn't pick them up.
The problem is that Kodaka's strength is character writing/drama and Uchikoshi took his foundation and tried making a zero escape game. If he had complete control then his half of the story wouldn't have been so messy and butcher so many of the characters
Yeah, agreed.
His routes are a massive step down over his own games like AI and ZE, which is massively disappointing because I love Uchi.
Me too. I think he's a better storyteller then Kodaka is, but I'd rather he had nothing to do with this game honestly. Considering his job was to wrangle all the writers, he fucking sucked as his job
It’s unfortunate how you can see it happen immediately after you get past the lock in SF. all the characterization between Takumi and Hiruko gets thrown out the window and ignored in favor of focusing on the time shenanigans. And then it’s just Hiruko being mean to Takumi the whole time despite how she supposedly feels about him, how she ruined a timeline for a special moment together, and supposedly Uchikoshi even wrote that moment of Takumi making her cry by giving her the figurine she asked for in slasher and getting her to believe in him with her persuasion. That’s still SF so I have no idea how shit got so fucked up writing wise between Takumi and Hiruko right after. Just no time to make their relationship develop? Fucking frustrating. I hate that SF made me dislike Hiruko, but mostly just feels like wasted potential not getting to really know her on her own goddamn route
I hate it so much holy fuck I could complain about SF for DAYS. Takumi and Hiruko had the potential to be one of the best romances. They failed. Made me dislike Hiruko too which sucks. Agreed with everything you wrote, hell I could have written it myself.
Biggest twist yet
I’ve never written fan fiction a single time in my life, nor have I wanted to, but damn if I don’t have the desire to somehow come up with a normal romance route with Darumi. Suppose all the different writers for routes helps with my mindset, for pretty much everything else I take the authors intent as the word of god and everything else doesn’t matter but with a whole cast being written by all sorts of people now I feel like I can do it too. Especially since the other girls got normal romances that they can live through or kiss Takumi in. She needs it too
Give it a try anon! Retsnom made me want to write fanfic too
I don't know (nor do I want to) but I am holding out hope for more Darumi centric routes. Retsnom gave me hope after my first route fucking sucked Coming of Age.
Not really sure how I'm feeling about Killing Game so far...
Might as well give it a try.
As far as I know the only time you ever get to see the real her is in Retsnom. That’s the only route she ever drops the act, and it’s a damn shame she only did for a few days before she got eaten by Retsnom and started acting like her fake personality again
If you liked Retsnom, I doubt you'd like Killing Game. It strips Darumi of her nuance in Retsnom
Zetsubo's taking over bros...
Maybe include the title in the spoiler thread, asshole.
the route wher eyou get raped by another guy is the worst
Should I just put the fights to story mode? There's way too much fighting in the second playthrough
That doesnt make fights faster, sorry
HOMINA HOMINA HOMINA
This game really needs a button to hide the text box, no wonder he's going bankrupt if he can't even implement such a simple thing
