(Sorry if it sounds weird if I refer to the MC in first person, but she's designed to be more of a self insert character so it feels weird for me seeing her as someone else!)
So, in only two days, I finished Shin's route. That was because I was so immersed in the story that I absolutely could not put my Vita down. I'm not going to do an in-depth summary of it like I did in the last post because I'm absolutely shattered today so I can't be bothered to type much.
But what ended up happening was this dramatic attempted murder mystery story. Shin invited all of the original witnesses back to the holiday home where I fell off the cliff so that he could gather evidence. I had no idea who the culprit was gonna be, even though it was probably really easy to predict. Shin actually asked me but I wasn't really sure who to choose. The game gave me so many options to pick, so I just picked Ukyo because he seemed like a bit of a weirdo, but I was wrong. I wasn't going to find out until near the very end...
They weren't actually trying to find the culprit who pushed me, because that turned out to be just an accident. Someone found me at the bottom of the cliff and hit me so that blood came out, then just ran away. Basically it was an attempted murder.
Everybody left the mansion, some more stuff happened, until I got to find out who actually did it! And I would've never predicted it...
The person who tried to kill me at the bottom of the cliff was Toma. Yeah, I know he's a crazy yandere in his own route, but I didn't think he was gonna be a twat here too!
So what happened was, he found me at the end of the cliff, tried to rescue me, until I accidentally mistook him for Shin. And when his beloved childhood friend/crush was on the brink of death, he got triggered about some petty love triangle and beat me up, leaving me to die. And when his other dear friend was being blamed for it all, he didn't even bother to speak up. Wow, Toma, I can see that you're such a great friend!
And the game just kind of makes you forgive Toma, even though Shin doesn't really. If this was real life, I'd just be like "Go away mate, you're done, goodbye!" because I wouldn't want him as a friend anymore. What a loser. And it was all because of some stupid love triangle.
Then Toma hands himself into the police, and just release him like nothing happened! After that, a few more things happen and I ended up being alone with Shin, and then he suggests breaking up with me. As soon as he said that, I knew that I hadn't gotten the good ending. He breaks up with you so that he can make you fall in love with him again. How sad. I had already fallen in love with him in real life!
I had to then find a walkthrough so that I could go back and make all of the right choices so that I could get that good ending. There's also a bad ending but I don't want to have to mean to Shin to get that. I think I've found my own otome playing strategy! On the first play-through, I'm gonna try to get a good ending but fail terrible, then go back and use a walkthrough to get the happy ending.
The good ending's a lot nicer. You finally convince Shin to hold your hand, so that's cute. This route was really good. It'll probably end up being my favourite. I now have such a soft spot for Shin, he's actually the kind of boyfriend I'd want, well, he would be if he didn't call me an idiot all of the time. Sometimes he was such a dick towards me, like when he said I was very close to getting fat, right when I was straight out of the hospital. Oh well, he'll still be a worthy addition to my collection of husbandos! I hope there's a character song for him, because he has a very nice voice.
After completing Shin's route and feeling sad that there was no after story like what Code: Realize had, it was time for the next route! I wasn't really sure which one to pick, so I just closed my eyes and selected a random one. You'll never guess who I ended up with....... Toma.
People said that Toma's route is absolute rubbish, but I was still quite excited for it. I do enjoy me a good yandere. But Toma was a right dickhead in the last route, so I didn't want to date him straight away, but I suppose I'm stuck with him now.
Right now I'm at around the fifteenth day, and he hasn't tried anything funny with me yet, other than keeping me in his house like a prisoner. Apparently everybody hates me in this route, because they like stuffing my post box with eggs and sending me weird messages. I think I'm also a bit of a slut because loads of people send me emails because they want to get with me and I like meeting with Ikki in dark alleyways.
I was scared that I was going to see Shin and feel sad that I'm not in his route like, what happened with Van Helsing during every other Code: Realize route. But I only saw Shin like once, and this was when I came across this strange line:
I never really saw Shin (or anyone else, really) enough to miss him, because Toma was too busy keeping me inside of his house. But I have been seeing Ukyo a lot. There was this part of the game where he came out of nowhere and made this face:
After that, I had a lot of almost fatal accidents, which just fed Toma's yandereness, making him want to keep me locked up inside. But he still took me out shopping. It gave me a choice of where I wanted to go, and I chose the lingerie shop just to see his reaction. It made him feel very awkward, and I even got a CG of it! Poor guy, I almost felt sorry for him, but he kind of deserved it after what he did in Shin's route.
Then some woman randomly decided to chop my hair off, and Toma just took me home and vowed to protect me from all evil or whatever, reminding me of Ikemen Sengoku's Kenshin after I pricked my finger on a rose or something. Then I saved the game and went to get on with my daily life.
I feel like I'm gonna be in for a dramatic ride with Toma. I just won't take it seriously and laugh through it all. Nothing's annoying me with this route so far, so that's pretty good. I probably would've liked Toma a bit more if I had played his route first, but oh well.
I dunno what else to write. I've said all I've had to say really, except I forgot to mention Orion. He's probably the best character out of all of them! It was sad at the end of Shin's route when he got pushed out of my brain, saying that I'd forget all about him. He's been great through all of it so far. I just can't wait to see his reaction once Toma starts going bonkers.
I like this game. It may be a bit funny in places, but it's still great, well at least it is so far. There's even two fan-discs for it that I want to play now, but unfortunately they never got localised. But I bet I could play them in Japanese, since the language they use isn't too difficult.
But that's all I have to say now. I'll see you all later. Goodbye!
