Bugger this for a lark.
I did manage one bad end, the generic one you get if you screw up the very first scene. And then I got several days into doing Yoosung's bad ends before deciding I had better things to do. Like the fun parts of the game. Or watching paint dry.
Content Note: ambiguous Bad Things happen offscreen.
Bad End: First day:
TIME TO BE A BELLIGERENT ASSHOLE TO UNKNOWN (the Mint Eye hacker who convinces MC to check out Rika's apartment and introduces her to the RFA for reasons yet unknown)
Hmm, now I'm wondering: is Unknown really Ray? I mean I'm sure Ray did the hacking, but Ray's attempt to persuade everyone to join Mint Eye involved rambling about paradise, I'm not sure he has it in him to be this manipulatively "normal".
"I'm a Korean student studying abroad, my name doesn't matter." "My religion says I mustn't miss any opportunity to do good, no matter how small". HMM.
"I'm creepy? Haven't you ever heard 'you get a treat if you listen to older men'?"
NO. NO I HAVE NOT. PLEASE TELL ME THAT IS NOT A COMMON KOREAN SAYING.
WHOA. HE POSTED A PHOTO OF HIMSELF???
Is that Ray with dyed black hair? o.O
(I took a screenshot but can't be bothered uploading it. Imagine Ray with black hair, a friendly smile, and normal clothes)
Eventually the game gives me no choice but to have MC agree to check out the apartment.
Hahaha ok now I'm having MC doggedly insist there's no password input even though it's right there.
Unknown: IT'S RIGHT THERE
MC: Wait, you can see me?!
Unknown: haha, yeah. I guess the plan failed. Time to find someone else.
And then we see Ray, with is face covered and his voice...vocoded?
MC: THIS IS CREEPY BYE
Ray: Sorry, but you've seen me. You're so cute, it would be a pity to get rid of you... You can be my assistant. He has an assistant. Come with me, I'll be good to you.
MC: No?
Ray: Otherwise I'd need to delete your information, and you're not a computer...Come on, I'm a better person than him.
THE END
I guess it was Ray after all. Who is "he"? I'd think Seven, but he doesn't have assistant.
Yoosung bad Relationship Ending 1:
So if I'm reading the guides right, this will kick in if I just...open the day 5 save and then don't participate in any chats for two days. I can do that!
Spending these hourglasses is a bit tense, but it's only 5, if I screw up I can get more.
*opens save*
*ignores messages from Yoosung*
*feels like a jerk*
*closes Mystic Messenger*
*waits two days, increasingly annoyed that I can't play any other routes while I do this*
*opens it again, tense, wondering if anything will go wrong*
*it crashes*
That would certainly be an ironically meta bad end, haha.
Ok it loaded, and...I have to read all TWO DAYS of missed chats?? URGH.
While I wait for them to scroll by (because the skip function is a paid feature): One thing I decided during my days off is that I am not committing to doing this bad end crap THIRTY MORE TIMES. That would be literal months of my life. Even just doing the rest of Yoosung's it would be like a week before I get to play anything fun.
Instead, I am going to play the good ends, because that is actually fun, and all the other normal ends, because that's easy if you set things up right. And I will make a save each time I get to the start of a route so I can go back and do the bad ends afterwards if I have nothing better to do. But it is quite possible that I will aways have something better to do.
Jesus this is dull. I have seen one chat out of like...twenty. Can I be bothered going through all this? For one depressing scene??
...no. No I cannot.
TIME TO GET ME AN AMBIGUOUSLY ROMANTIC GIRLFRIEND
(though I have to wait until early tomorrow morning to actually start it. UGH!)
