Analogue: a hate story

Anyone knows when will the DLC come out?

*Skipped past other posts to attempt to avoid spoilers*
I just finished the demo, and I'm sad that my current funds aren't quite adequate to get the full version (no really, I truly am broke). One thing I want to know: is it possible to patch up your relationship with *Hyun-ae if you tell her you just wanted the admin password?

My memory on this game is a little too vague to answer that awfully specific inquiry. Why would you want to know that?

Well, I kind of liked Hyun-ae. Anyway, the answer appears to be yes. The reason I can say that is, well, in the end, I acquired it.

I also messed with the crisis thing a bit much - managed to make both AIs unstartable. shutting down cores seems pretty dangerous.

Looks like you found a Non-Standard Game Over.

Okay, this is just lulzy

Also Plus is not released today...darnit...

Unrelated to previous post, but just a thought: while the game may be intended as feminist, you could consider the meta-narrative to mean that if you give women power (back), they will kill everyone. I find this quite amusing.

You mean after treating her like crap? And by that, I mean really really really bad.

Yeah, it's not like Hyun-ae would go around killing people if she's not treated like crap, superuser password or not...after all, it's only after those treatment that she's getting very desperate to get revenge and escape the situation...

Not related, but: if going by this pic◊, and assume that Plus starts not long after main game...Pale Bride is frozen for at least 1500 years? Whoa...that's...long.

And also, think twice before giving someone a name like Mute, because they might end up being a massive chatterbug.

How is this game? I can't afford it right now but I'd like to know how it is so when I can get it I'll be able to make an informed decision.

I'd say it's definitely worth purchasing at around 10€. About other purchase-worthy vns, looking around vndb finds Saya no Uta (around 20$, wth - note: severe gore and H), 999, the ace attorney games (arguably not quite V Ns), Higurashi no Naku Koro ni, ef - a fairy tale of the two (not sure if tl quality is good on this one), Kara no Shoujo (heard something about mangagamer version missing voices - buy the tled version and torrent the full version imo)...

Umm, might wanna avoid this becoming a Long List now.

This game will most certainly leave a powerful impression. If you're in for such a thing, it'll be ten dollars well spent.

Hate+ is now full sequel, not just DLC...good to hear!

RPS coverage

I've only covered 20% of the game so far. I figured out the password and *Hyun-si asked me to decrypt a file (I can't remember the name). However I talked to her and told her i couldn't decrypt it. Did I accidentally lock myself out of being able to do so or can I do that now and then continue on as usual?

Also I've repaired the damage and unlocked *Mute. Is there any particular time when I should switch *Hyu-ae out for her?

You can switch any time, but if you're not sure, switch when *Hyun-ae runs out of things to say...

Release date for Hate+!

Hate+ is out!

/me imports harem end

Same.

I find that the "wait" parts will be a major annoyance, unless you want to pull the old Animal Crossing time travel trick.

Also, does the info Mute drop about the anti-copy coding A.I.s have remind you of anything?

Also, if getting a happy ending requires violating the laws of space-time (and canon), then screw the laws of space-time (and canon)!

Welp the New *Mute End was kinda depressing as hell

Was it similar to Day 3 of the Harem Route, where you find out that Mute tries to commit suicide during the "night"? Because the name of the Mute Ending achievement and the spoiler I just typed, combined with what you just said, has me worried...

Major spoiler yeah she basically erased herself after hearing how the Old Mute died and failed and I had to reboot her. *Mute was gone and there was a new personality New *Mute

I did get along with her still but man, I was very sad.

Well, just finished day 2 and read Death of Old *Mute...not surprised at all. I already guessed that Ryu's gonna be a big bastard who engineer the whole takeover thing and *Mute wipe. I was constantly hoping that Love will prove me wrong about that assumption...but nope. Right into my expectations.

Update: Man I don't wanna know what will happen if Mute is successful with that suicide...then again maybe I would, consider I didn't play through those 2 routes yet...I'm scared. Still, Hyun-ae making on move on Mute is both cute and hillarious!

I'm surprised Eun-a is willing to actually want to create a society where she is nothing more than property though...guess that puts her in the extreme order side in order vs freedom...though I guess her sister did play a large role in that...it's still stupid though.

So I just recently bought both Analogue and Hate Plus. Blew through them over the course of several days. So, anyone willing to suffer a little thread necromancy to host a "gush" session with me over what they enjoyed and their general thoughts on the game?
