I’M IN SHAMBLES OVER IT HONESTLY

When it initially got teased on twitter, I was really hoping for it to be Fuyu-centric since the other april fools games were Aki-centric and Tsugino-centric respectively, and was over the moon to find out that it was!! In the normal endings, like the other april fools games, its a little bit less obvious, but in the true ending it’s implied to take place after Ushirono Ending G, and that fact recontextualizes the whooole game. Of course Fuyu doesn’t want to leave the April Fool’s dimension– everyone he loves is dead, he got his revenge and he’s left hollow and alone with the fact that what he wanted wasn’t revenge, but to return to the days when him, Aki, and Natsu were all happy together…

And on that note– NATSU’S BAD END WAS SO FUCKED UP AND TWISTEDDD OGUHGHG MY GODDDD,,, the way so many of her dialogues revolve around what she can do when she grows up, and the way she actively acknowledges that she’s never going to be able to, so the only way to grant her wish is for Aki to be her age… and the way fuyu’s not even mentioned in that ending… it all makes me so unwell in the head

I’m also really fond of the interpretation that the doctor looking after Fuyu in the true ending is Konno– it would make sense for him to know how to use his memory device, and the silhouette looks awfully similar to his hairstyle and clothing… Though it is kind of a reach haha

Hi!! The art book is just a compilation of the backgrounds from the game, there’s no extra concept art in it unfortunately!!

YAYAAA it can be a bit finicky but works well for the most part! Have fun!

There aren’t any im so sorry !! We also played it using the MTL and text extraction, but you can read the messages using google translate from your phone, or a site that can extract text from images and mtl that text !! They can be kind of finicky at times but they do work decently well!!

Konno and Aki could absolutely be a thing! I think they have a fun dynamic together :)

Anon i think you should live laugh love and just ship what you like–make your own decisions on whether a ship is weird and just ignore everyone else

These two pixiv logs have quite a bit!

You should also be able to find some on mazu’s twitter here and there.

i’ve been using textractor and a few plugins to autopaste into deepL, but that only works for the downloadable rpgmaker games rather than the VNs or browser-based games. Fair warning that the browser plugin for firefox is broken, so you unfortunately have to use chrome ^^;

when downloading and extracting the games, make sure your computer’s non-utf character encoding language is in japanese to make sure they work properly.

you may need to use a locale emulator for some games if they only run in a japanese locale

YES YES YES THE WHITE KNIGHTS AU they make me so emotional fuyuaka idols forever!!! theres a cameo for them in white rose academy too, but i haven’t played that one yet

LOVE GHOST SIX PLEASE ENJOY !! Feel free to send more of your thoughts when you get further I’m happy to hear them !!
