having now finished this game, i can safely say it is the dumbest piece of shit i have ever played masquerading as an extremely deep game. in spite of all the gameplay improvements and somniums actually being somewhat good compared to the predecessor, this game totally fucked me off from the plot after incredibly dumb plot twist after incredibly dumb plot twist. characters in this game all behave in the most nonsensical and idiotic ways possible, and so many of the "reveals" are things that should and would have come up in natural conversations. i absolutely abhor the "you didn't ask" excuse for big reveals. the only positive i can say about the story is that i went apeshit on social media multiple times from seeing the depths of depravity that game's writing goes. have i mentioned that two separate 20+ year old men in this game fall in love with high school girls and the game treats this as normal and acceptable? truly insipid and vile shit here, it must be said. i would rank some of the plot twists here as worse than the Big Reveal in ZTD because at least that game was mercifully short.

uchikoshi, you are a hack who thinks men being sex pests and pedophiles is endearing. please stop trying to outdo ever17. you never will.

edit: to everyone getting mad at the internet stranger who dislikes a game that they (presumably) like, i recommend streaming "platonic planet" by KOTO. good stuff there it will likely help you calm down.
