Wait, so would Rei have won at any point if she actually committed to either of the two previous rituals? That'd be funny.
#naixshutenorder
Oh my god... Shikka Kuon.... Kokushikan... I'm so stupid
#naixshutenorder
Yua uses two puppets to communicate to people... if we project this onto Honoka, is it possible that all three Kokushikans in this route are reflections of her (therefore they are all her in a sense), and she's using them to express herself to Rei?
#naixshutenorder
Pretty deep into the Education route now (about 2/3 maybe). I have a strong feeling that this route's structure is going to be a hint for the game's big overall mystery.
#naixshutenorder
OH THANK GOD HE WAS THE MAN BEHIND THE MASTERMIND AFTER ALL, MY GOAT IS STILL MORALLY DUBIOUS
#naixshutenorder
Welp it turns out that theory was... SLIGHTLY wrong? Kiyomasa's the mastermind after all, but it seems like Inugami did goad him into doing this
#naixshutenorder
OH DUH, HE EVEN SAID THAT NOTHING MIGHT HAPPEN IN THE MEETING! CAUSE IT'S UP IN THE AIR WHETHER OR NOT THE VICTIMS WOULD ACTUALLY TRY TO PULL ON SOME SHIT
#naixshutenorder
And of course, this is all trying back into the Big Theme the route's been building up to, that being that Justice and Truth aren't the same thing. Sure, you CAN reveal that Inugami is the Big Mastermind behind everything, but is that the RIGHT thing to do?
#naixshutenorder
Wait... no fucking way.
DID INUGAMI SET UP ALL THESE MURDERS SO THAT MIZUNO WOULD BE THE LAST INHERITOR???? BECAUSE HE THINKS THIS IS JUST????
#naixshutenorder
My top suspect in the Justice route at the current moment is Miyabi. He's described Kiyomasa as a "business partner", and the frequent attention that phrase is given makes me think that his real deal with Kiyo is to collaborate with the Virus, and he's trying to cover his tracks.
#naixshutenorder
I wonder if the Big Twist in the Justice route is going to be that this was all Kiyomasa's test and trap all along. Each time an inheritor would try to screw over the others, they'd trigger a trap that would kill them...
#naixshutenorder
So about the localization in this game... I do think that the translation here can get VERY awkward, but it's not to the point where I as an ESL is being taken out of the experience in a noticeable way.
#naixshutenorder
Yes, Miss Mizuno, please meet me in the greenhouse that is full of flowers, this is all part of the investigation believe me
#naixshutenorder
Right-wing grifters be like
#naixshutenorder
Angels should never say that, but I'M ALL FOR IT LET'S DO THIS
#naixshutenorder
What? A murder in an isolated setting with wealthy people who are fighting over inheritance? No way!
#naixshutenorder
It's so funny that he's doing all this without knowing Rei's gender. Is anyone going to tell him
#naixshutenorder
There are yuri everywhere for those who seek them.
#naixshutenorder
Destroying the only bridge to an isolated, Rei? Not cool.
#naixshutenorder
A murder mystery set in a situation where a wealthy old man's inheritance is at stake? This is just like Knives Out! ...and Umineko, but I haven't played that
#naixshutenorder
Well her religion is very dubious but aside from that the Founder might be a pretty chill person...
#naixshutenorder
Ah yes, the heretics are out to get you at every corner. Truly a teaching that is a sign of a perfectly normal religion.
#naixshutenorder
Shuten Order worships itself? How does that even work? Also I guess this explains why the founder's personality is so chill, she wasn't trying to put on an air of 'godhood' or anything
#naixshutenorder
Man, tracking where the murder actually happen might've been more difficult had the culprit thought of getting rid of the shoes
#naixshutenorder
Which would be worse for Inugami to know: that Rei isn't a detective, or that she's a woman?
#naixshutenorder
If he's really the killer (and I doubt he is, otherwise it'd be too obvious), then he's giving WAY too many infos to Rei here.
