Just about started chapter 2 and can't say i'm exactly the biggest fan of ms sherlock holmes either.

Reason for quitting if i was spoiled and knew the jist of it is because of the lengths of these vn's. But it sounds like i should continue! great!

Thanks, but i feel this vn has been somewhat ruined for me seeing as a giant spoiler was plain to see on vndb.

How are the routes in this vn? Does the story take completely new turns for each heroine or is it the same story with different heroines? I haven't reached the part where i can start going for one yet. I really only have experience with key vn's so i don't know how other companies do stuff like this.

Is there a way to check what routes have been cleared? I know which ones i've done, but it's nice to have a way to see the progress so that you're never uncertain that something is wrong.

Definitely Eden* but i haven't read many VN's yet.

Seen two walkthroughs which say that 21/5 you'll get a option to select "Komari" but that doesn't happen in my game. Not sure how much this matters, but i'd love to figure out why the walkthroughs doesn't match my game, because if i'm doing silly mistakes it might be a bigger problem in the future, for this heroine and others. Edit: Ohh, after further research it seems to be something that unlocks after the true ending.

Yeah, i know. It's the very beginning of the heroine path that changed even though the events leading up to it are the same. One time everyone leaves you and your memory is lost, next time half of them are there and your memory is in tact and then they leave. While i can buy Kotori wiping my emotional memory of her during her path, i can't really understand why the rest of the group are acting so vastly different at the very start of the heroine path. They should have stuck with everyone vanishing and focused on how you got back in touch with your chosen heroine and had a complete separate story from there on out. Just changing such things kind of detaches you from the story. Did so for me at least. But as i said, heroine paths are fun and interesting anyway.

But this title does somewhat try to be a different perspective title, it just somewhat stumbled in the process. That's how i feel. Most things have been consistent with the first route thus far, taking into account that you're somewhere else doing something else of course. It's just the leadup to the separation that boggles me that they change. It should be the same before you head off with your chosen heroine, unless you do something really different in the common path of course. Which hasn't happened here. People just acted differently which felt really weird.

I just think it could have been handled a bit smarter. It kind of sticks out like a sore thumb. And with the common path being what it is, it shouldn't deviate in this manner if it the story was any good. But as you know, it's my first VN, so i don't know how most VN handles heroine paths and such. Fortunately the heroine paths are interesting thus far, so i think i'll continue until i've finished it!

Yes, they did. With Kotori you were alone at school with no occult members for weeks (you also found the prez's letter on the desk saying you need to be patient and wait), and suddenly Kotori appears at her home again. I'm in the middle of the second heroine path now (Chihaya) so i was just puzzled by the fact that everything was different at the point where the difference between the two paths should be next to none. At least those weeks at school with no other occult members. I was just hoping it wasn't just a silly plot hole or bad writing.

This VN seems really inconsistent. Why did all the members of the occult club vanish after the incident in the forest when going for Kotori, but when going for Chihaya route then they're still there?

Thanks!

Okey. I just finished one path, but i didn't get to create a custom save after finishing the game. How is the progress saved? Can't be the autosave i hope, cause the autosave will be overwritten with the next heroine.

Holy shit Rewrite is one huge game. How long are the heroine paths? I thought it was just like a day or two more, but boy was i wrong

Hmm, does it have any negative effects to use powers? I'd like to use them, but it's always a matter of using it or not and that gives me the inkling that using it will bring some negative effects. I don't mind the vague spoiler if i'm free to use it or not.

I have only seen choices for characters, so i haven't been spoiled at anything plotwise. Are the quests and such really necessary? I do want to see proper endings and such of course, but if they are only there to waste your time then i won't care about the quests.

I think you can choose Chihaya at the end of the Kotori route for a bad ending.

Well, as long as it's not NTR then i'm looking forward to it! Ohh, and how do i know if i stumble upon a bad ending instead of a good one? Does the game inform me about it in some way?

Yeah, the longer i play the worse it gets. I'm at oct 18 and it stands out even more as a haremish high school rom com with it's typical tropes. The other Key productions that i've seen had soul, this is becoming generic. I do hope something picks up soon.

Does that mean things that shouldn't be different is different depending on the route? Key games is more or less about tragedy as far as i have experienced from watching anime based on their VN's. If rewrite is the same, would one route spoil another? Like finding out what happens to another girl which would come of as a surprise when you're actually going her route.

That's a habit i should get into as well. For now i think i'll try with just the walkthrough choices. After this i'll probably have some better understanding of VN's.

Thanks. I haven't been saving all that much though. I've made saves for the first three heroines in the start as i need to finish them before unlocking the last two. I haven't saved on what's probably seen as minor decissions though. Ohh and how much does the game change depending on which heroine you go for? Is it like the same game with just a different character on the side or does it have a major say in how the game plays out towards the end? One last thing, how much can i depend on the skip function for previously read text? Does it skip minor dialogue changes?
