Yeah remember that thing from like 5 years ago?

Even with the new content I can't imagine it's worth $15 (well, on sale for $13.50 right now), but, eh.

wow, way to spoil the game in the description

I think the original had the same issue in the ESRB rating

---

I was gonna give it a shot but I'm afraid I got hugely spoiled cuz steam had a psychologic horror tag

:/

---

bump
the game has a lot more content warning when you boot the game up now. wonder if they ran into issues trying to keep the "surprise" >_>
in-game "files/pc" system kinda sucks compared to opening the actual game folder but I guess I get why they did it.

---

Yea, they really can't get away with not having it tagged that way because the zoomies would be terrified and have meltdowns. :v They want a list of trigger warnings in any media before they even boot it up.

---

The surprise huh

---

The addition of trigger warnings in game ruin the surprise. Why would you "play" this version instead of the original free version?

The game is still worth playing IMO (the original I mean, not played this new version) I had the game almost totally spoiled for me and I stil really enjoyed it. It would have been much better not spoiled of course, but still worth playing.

In the interest of full disclosure I should probably add that I generally don't care that much about spoilers, that said I think even if your enjoyment will be greatly diminished due being someone who really cares about spoilers, the game is good and interseting enough to still be worth your time.

---

I've beaten the original a few years ago. How different is the new version?
---

How many people even played the game expecting it to be an absolutely standard visual novel? Didn't the original release also have a warning?

The meta video game stuff is the bigger surprise.

---

Nice!

What is Plus about this version?

So different

---

I want to get it, but some extra content from a free game isn't going to make me spend $15 on it. If it was a brand new game yeah I would.

It's not really a spoiler to have it tagged or described as psychological horror. Omori had the same tag. Just because you know something's gonna happen, you still dont know what or when

The original release had a trigger warning

Cant really blame gen Z for this one, games have had to have content warnings since the ESRB became a thing, and have been outright banned because of their ratings

The new content in this game has me bawling like an idiot man :( (side story spoiler)



---

if you connect with some of the issues the club members deal with before the act 1 ending takes it to 200, highly recommend the side stories. christ they hit hard.

---

I heard they were also making a console version. But Im not quite sure how it would work, tbh

when you launch the game it starts a virtual desktop of sorts dedicated to the game, even on PC version. you can access music, pictures, side stories, and game files before launching the actual game through it.

You can watch the whole game on youtube which is like getting the game for free.

You can say that about all VNs...
