Stanley thinks there's way more going on here.

And that something is still fishy about "Alphard"...

I hope so...

omg, kajiwara ;-;

i just don't want this game to end, that's all. i don't want this to be the final chapter. but it probably is.

aww, kuze's a good guy after all <3

ahhhhhh, he's on the character select screen with a cool turn-around animation and everything!!!!

Try seeing if you can jump from Kano 18:10

Nice. Thanks.

I see. You need to give Tateno a proper goodbye to switch to him. Very interesting.

I feel that was sort of unintuitive, but it sort of makes sense.

Also:

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

PoV Tateno!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

HYPE

they're at 19:05 for both achi and kano

minorikawa reached END

urkh. i tried another answer with stanley earlier and THAT gives me a jump to stanley as well, at 18:00, but even that one is X'd out!

guess i'll keep trying every wrong answer...

i feel like what i need is a jump to canaan...?

gosh, i'm not seeing anything. i tried the other dialogue options at the scramble for achi and kano, but nothing.

could it be i need to do something before we leave?

surely nothing in minorikawa's story is needed...?

i'm fine with a hint here if someone would like to help

what even...

how do i get out of this?!

bad ends for both achi and kano

hm. gotta try some other options, i suppose

still, i guess hitomi was definitely innocent after all lol. i really thought she was hiding something for those first couple of hours. but she was just shy.

"There are no hints after 18:00."

:O

the only plot thread we haven't dealt with, actually, is aya kamiki! and kano's fiancee who we've never met...

also, where has kajiwara gone...?

as long as alphard isn't yanagishita

...could it be?!

oh wait, the organ trafficker was tall, black hair, fluent japanese. not necessarily alphard. okay. yeah.

if this were 2006 i'd be like "alphard must be a woman, since we all assume it must be a man", but we're kind of past that trope now in 2019 and it really can be either one. hm.

yaaassss kano, disobey those orders. be jack bauer!

huh.

Minorikawa END.

really?!

we didn't even get to the deadline?!

is it really so simple to say he'll spend 30 minutes writing the gang article, but actually only 20 because he's going to interview achi?! and then... what?

i'm sort of confused by this one lol

chiaki we don't have time for your sob story right now! come on!

seriously, this all must be a bad end. i gotta pick an option to end up somewhere else, right? lol

lmao, minorikawa really trying the aggressive interview style with a gang leader? is this seriously going to work? lol

lmao the ice machine =(

my biggest regret is not warning them about it

god i'd forgotten how stressful minorikawa's plot is

this has nothing to do with the main plot but

51 minutes to interview gang members and write an article and finalize everything?!

there's no way!

this is flashing me back to the most stressful deadlines in my own life and it's actually physically painful

the thing is, daisuke isn't playing games with me. he won't be like "hey, all i said was they spoke fluent japanese, so it being <insert japanese character here> fits!" it really should imply a foreigner lol

Arti posted...

don't worry, I didn't stop after clearing 16:00 all the way to the end

i guess you're telling me the game is ending soon LOL

speculation cancelled then

now this is where i'd try and predict alphard's identity, but i'm actually just going to go with the flow here and be shocked by the reveal when it happens

what was it. tall, black hair, spoke fluent japanese?

...doesn't even mention if male or female lol. technically implies its a foreigner.

oh god, Leland Palmer?!

(i mean he's the only side character who hasn't become relevant, really...)

i'll spoiler bar this next chapter until the others catch up

i can't really put this down atm though

(for those who can't tell - i'm a big fan of trying to "metagame" stuff - hence my strong focus on trying to figure out how long the game will be, how many episodes, if there'll be new PoV characters, etc. formatting and logistical stuff like that always interests me, same way how in my umineko play through i was so fixated on the character chart and wondering if there'd be room for more characters and etc)

oh, but wait. minorikawa's plot really hasn't converged lol. i mean, sure, he has the printing deadline at 7, but he's barely gotten involved in the actual main plot. guess there does have to be more...

nah, this is definitely building to a climax and then an ending.

i won't get my hopes up that the game goes on =P

maria and osawa won't be replaced by new PoVs, its just the story is ending.

And the sun begins to set.

I always loved the times in 24 when daytime would switch to nighttime, and vice versa.

I do hope this game goes a full 24 hours, but maybe it really is just building to an ending now - That's why characters are getting ENDs, because everything is converging.

Osawa END.

Man, I shouldn't be surprised to reach another END, but I am.

But that was a really sweet ending. God, why is this game getting me so emotional?

Osawa driving off to save Maria as he imagines her sitting in the rain waiting for him that day...

It's so sad...

oh ho. alphard says he'll show up in person... iiiinteresting!

yeah, definitely weird that everyone is together except osawa. i guess they couldn't get him over to endo electronics for this, huh.

like, chiri's superpower is fine because she's a comedic side character

but canaan isn't, so can we have her be a bit more realistic plz
