>VN
I thought this shit was sokoban? A VN is even worse if it masquerades as a puzzle game.

>>718118449
It is a puzzle game. Op is just retarded and thinks every game with dialogue is a visual novel

just say you got filtered lmao

>roll a lawful female human valkyrie
>get some opening text about the amulet of yendor or some gay shit
FUCKING
VISUAL NOVELS

>tits
What the fuck? I thought the protag is male?? Nevermind I'm not playing this

>>718119013
There are almost no men in this game, as it should be

>>718118449
I would have "played" it if it was a VN, can't be assed to push the same blocks for hours

>>718119375
Why do you play gaymes instead of reading books?

>>718119013
It's a typical yuritroonshit with troon allegory.

>>718119013
Gray has massive mommy milkers for lore-related reasons.

>>718118449
you think OP actually played the game?

I can't sexualize Grey.
Her life is just too damn miserable.

>>718124558
I can fix her. Sexually.

>>718119375
For most of the time you don't push blocks.

>Lillie's route revs up for a "my real mother in my eyes is Grey, the one who raised me" kind of ending
>Lillie instead decides to talk with her real mother instead
>she gets revived and has fun in the modern world while Grey rots in hell after dying alone with zero friends or family
What was the message of this? Never adopt?

>>718118252 (OP)
bought this a little over a month ago
i have mixed feelings about the game
i really like the puzzles and metapuzzles, however the amount of backtracking and repeating puzzles to move about is a major strike against the game
story wise, the bits of lore about the dungeon and its masters is fun, but the cutscenes and yuri stuff is not really my cup of tea
it's hard to rate the game. some aspects are 10/10, while others are like 4/10.
i've enjoyed the experience, but can't decide if i'd recommend the game or not.

>>718126498
It's what Grey would have wanted.
For both of her daughters to be happy and alive.

>>718126498
>Lillie instead decides to talk with her real mother instead
She died from breast cancer before the start of Lilith Route, anon. That whole part where Lillie made peace with Gray and asking for nothing else was the entire reason she was able to save Lily and fulfill Gray's wish. Lillie's wish was to say goodbye to Gray, not to save Lily.
Lily getting to live a life of freedom is the cherry on top.

>backtracking
I thought it was fine with all the shortcuts, the brands working as floor warps and the UI floor manipulation mechanics

>>718127150
Agreed. Once the void becomes familiar, it gets so much easier to move around. This is a game where you are meant to take notes and screenshots.

>>718127150
>>718127223
even after learning how to bend the game over, it still wears thin
i'm not someone that looks up anything, either, so trying out different ideas to see if something different happens is taking up a lot of time

>>718127624
>trying out different ideas to see if something different happens
Like what?

>>718127703
tons of things, like visiting different locations both alive and dead/voided and either hitting a game over or being sent back to the beginning

>>718127897
That sounds like secret hunting and not something you would consider doing if you play the game normally.

>>718127072
>>718127076
This bitch could have given everyone a happy ending if she felt like it.
It's not fair.

>>718128448
the only thing i'm doing is pulling every thread i can to make progress in the game, which i've been pretty successful at
unlike baba is you, you can't rewind and try something different in many cases

>>718128448
There really aren't any hidden secrets, everything is pretty much out in the open to screengrab for later, but if all you do is move blocks to beat the puzzles, you're missing half of the game.
>>718128512
Maybe, but I figure she's too busy salvaging a doomed timeline to care.

some things i've discovered by complete accident because you'd not try those things under normal circumstances such as falling on B255, or discovering early that black statues over stairs resets the game

i still have no idea what triggers glowing orbs or stranger creature to appear, nor how many can be found in the game
also, i'm playing lillith a second time and discovering a bunch of things that weren't there the first time around, like crystals and eus appearing, and i don't know if it's a meta element of the game or if it was because i was dead for most of my first run with her
only when i exhaust everything i can think of will i consider looking up things that i missed
you can only play a game the first time once, and this game plays heavily into secret knowledge that i am adamant about not spoiling

I think that this was the only piece that I found really obtuse. Supposedly this mess was meant to fit together, but it took me forever to figure out.

the music is pretty banging in this game
favorite domain bgm?

i just bought this game
what do i think of it?

I kinda want to replay this but I get the feeling its something you can only really experience once

>LGBTQ+ tag

Off the wishlist and into the ignored pile it goes thanks for warning op.

>>718129089
Yeah, this one was fucked. I got the idea of the puzzle, but actually figuring out how they fit together was just impossible. Finally just googled it, and it seems like even the people that took the time to screenshot every floor and try to make it that way still had a really hard time.
It's weird. Outside of this literal one exception, I would hold up Void Stranger as the gold standard for how to do obtuse puzzles that ask the player to think outside the box. All of the others (except for the ultra secret shit) are difficult but fair. They just flubbed it hard with this one particular puzzle somehow.

>>718128693
If really shouldn't take a lot of backtracking to follow the actual leads the game provides.

>>718118845
it has graphics (visual) and more than 200 words (novel)
it's a visual novel

>>718129431
there is no guidance for some leads beyond knowing the game can be in different states

>>718129089
Helps if you don't cut off the bottom part of the levels.

>>718129347
This is odd, because the only implied sexual intercourse in the game makes a baby. The steam-tags look like the ravings of a schizo lunatic.

>>718129561
Can you be more concrete?

>>718129696
the major one is being alive or dead
but also pulling the brane number out and ending up in the void is a permanent(?) and mysterious thing still after playing 3 different characters. same with engraving your brand, since banging on the cervix "crashes" the game and the only remedy is a black statue reset
a different thing that is still puzzling me is the alphabet/code that comprises the entire 9th circle, and mon's message that clearly shows how to use the code, but once again, after playing the game with 3 different characters, i have yet to discover what the hell its good for. i suspected it was to decode brands, but to no avail, and i haven't found another thread that it connects to yet, which is getting a little old for how prominent a feature of the landscape this is
i also don't know if giving locust to mon at all the different places he shows up changes anything about the game (i doubt it, but it's in the back of my mind)

>>718128512
Asking for the impossible is a guaranteed exercise in failure unless you're Add.

>>718130504
Either you missed some eggs or you are overlooking some very obvious leads you should pursue.

best OST coming through, Getting To Your Manager fags not welcome.

dis nigga really say neurodivergent LAMMO anyway @vivian hit me with some likes and i'll dump a great list of english visual novels

>>718131296
reading a wiki meant you permanently didn't beat the game

>>718131921
I played the game on release.

>>718131535

the puzzles filter out the troons who have been intellectually stunted by hormones

Thanks for posting this. Just uninstalled and refunded.

Do NOT google what they do with oxygen

>>718136583
from here on out, i will only breath braps

>>718129089
This is such a "aint nobody got time for that" part of the game. Making that stupid brand in the area is already hard enough.

>>718136321
congratulations
you are now dumber than a tranny

So how is this a Zeroranger sequel?

>>718119282
The only men are villains. Also the women make the typical anime expressions, even though this is like a swedish game or some shit. Some of the visual novel sections are traced as well.

>>718122665
I hate how yuri became associated with troons. Yuri is based and there is literally nothing troon about this game (and no, posting a random tranny that happens to like this game doesn't prove your point)

>>718141892
> women make the typical anime expressions, even though this is like a swedish game
The game is finnish. Most finns seem to be weebs though, so this checks out

I need more Lillie in my life.
Hell, more Lily too.
Cif can come too.
