Yeah, she's a "trap", but not the kind of trap that is commonly known.

Sadly, I'm too much of a pussy to say "I'd still hit it", so she's all yours, Anonymous.

>>1498020

I want a plant girl :<
I would water her every day
In the literal sense and If you know what I mean.

>>1498040

Is she Hastur?

>>1498066

Oh she's a pitiful Shoggoth.

That's a letdown.

UBOO-SATHLA LOOKS DOWN ON SHOGGOTHS
FOR BEING SMALLER THAN HIM

>>1498084

Let's rephrase that.
>What would it be like to STICK YO' DICK IN CTHULHU'S MOUF?

Answer: IT WOULD FUCKING HURT AND YOU WOULD LOSE YOUR DICK IDIOT

Awsome OST

>>1498109

OR just go crazy.

And if you're crazy, you might stick yo' dick in Cthulhu's mouf.

>>1498116

Sweet.
Then if I make good friends with an Elder Thing, I can sex her up without being eaten.

Shoggoths listen to Elder Things.

Except that one time.
But they lost that one time.

>>1498147
She's a Super Shoggoth!

Damn it, of all the times not to find that image of Saya with blond hair.

>>1498152

This one?

>>1498194

SHE'S A "SPECIAL" SHOGGOTH GHAD :<

We're just trying to give her a species, and the monstrous shapeshifter tool subservients work for the most part.

>releasing their "offspring" as mutagens aimed at the human race no less,

Technically it could just be aimed at any creature with Ubbo-Sathla at it's roots or something.
Shoggoths may or may not be born from Ubbo-Sathla anyway.
Humans are known to have descended from it.

>>1498203
shush you

>>1498006
No, I don't believe she's male. If you mean for the fact that she'd eat you alive after sex, then yes the sex is a trap in the proper sense, but she's not a trap.

Wouldn't she rather fall into the Hermaphrodite category?

Umm... wouldn't she actually be bestiality?

>>1498006
Looks pretty female to me

but then again, kinda hard to tell when she's just a pile of veins and flesh

>>1498006
i think you're looking for the "Crawling meat plant" category

Translation where ;_;

No one ACTUALLY knows what Saya looks like, there's never a full picture of her in her true form

>>1498019
holy shit...

>>1498025
Wait, you mean there are partial pics of her true form?

source?

>>1498228

>fictitious

Oh you WISH.
It's dangerous to go alone. Take this.

>>1498019
I'd still hit it.

>>1498029
Yes, and from the partial pictures you can probably figure out which lovecraftian monster she is.
I, however, forgot.

>>1498019
HOLY SHIT it's like a train wreck. I can't....look...away. It's just so damn disturbing

>>1498029
yeah, when Koji attacks Saya you can see tentacles or some shit flailing around

>>1498243

And this.

>>1498176
Yeah, that's Henri. They don't have much in common really. Although they're both birthing a new world.

>>1498019
Too bad she doesn't actually look like that.
I'm sure, she doesn't even have a humanoid form.

>>1498243
>>1498249

And this for good measure.

Saya no FUTA

>>1498040
Shoggoth

>>1498056
Shoggoth, right.

>>1498040
>>1498048
Wait, I don't remember seeing that in the CGs?

>>1498062
Nah, shoggoth sounds about right, I think.

>>1498065
Isn't that Yo?

>>1498069
>>1498065
I can see the resemblance.

>>1498065
Mai waifu has such slender hands ;_;

>>1498062

Well she sure compels me to [spoilers]Hastur-bate[/spoilers]

>>1498080
ffff

>>1498080
Why are you such a failure?

>>1498078
I wonder what sex with a shoggoth that looks like a little girl in your eyes would feel like.

>>1498080
nice [spoil]spoilers[/spoil] there

>>1498085
OH U

>>1498084
Its genetic.

>>1498084
feels good, man

>>1498006
I remember downloading this and playing for a while a ways back. DId they ever make a translation patch?

>>1498084
Well, it's to great sex what great sex is to a virgin.

>>1498089
Why do you have to say things that you know will hurt me?

its spoiler

>>1498069
Wait, if that's suppose to be what Saya looks like. Shouldn't she be shorter, because of how she broke into that neighbor's house and how she hid so well and the pic looks like it's a huge pillar.

>>1498098
But his dick looked fine to me!

>>1498097

Shoggoths come in various sizes.

They can be anything from the size of a dog to the size of a house.

in before ORT sex copypasta

>>1498098
You would die before you could even stick it in since you're suppose to die if you even look at chululu.

>>1498097
Saya isn't ACTUALLY a shoggoth you tard

I only see a ball of disgusting meat.
What do you guys mean that if it falls into
the "trap" category!?

>>1498110
No, she is.

>>1498006
at first i thought they were supposed to resemble dog ears (her hair)

but now i realise its supposed to be leaflike

>>1498112
lol

>>1498116
see>>1498072

haha

awsome thread

trap saya, and cuthulu blowjobs

>>1498114
A ball of meat that eats you instead of the other way around. Sounds like a trap to me.

>>1498120
What's your point?

>>1498124
IIRC

Shoggoths don't have leaves

>>1498129
then what the fuck is she?

>>1498129
http://archive.easymodo.net/jp/cgi-board.pl?task=search&text=shoggoth
SHE'S A SHOGGOTH, POPULAR CONSENSUS AGREES.
And just because she has leaves doesn't mean she does. I mean, if he sees her as a little girl, I'm sure he could see her with leaves too.

Wait...who would win?
A Shoggoth or Saya?

i'm pretty sure Saya had SOME fighting capability (heck she managed to subdue someone and eat them)

Shoggoths just kinda sit there...and flail around

>>1498129

Shoggoths just look like decaying masses/lumps of tar with eyes and mouths that are really fucking disturbing.

They can form their body into any form of tool, however.
If it wants to have leaves, it can have leaves.
Most likely because an Elder Thing ordered it for aesthetic purposes.

>>1498134
>And just because she has leaves doesn't mean she does. I mean, if he sees her as a little girl, I'm sure he could see her with leaves too.
Disregard that, listen to this guy >>1498139

>>1498135
>Shoggoths just kinda sit there...and flail around

Enjoy your envelopment and being devoured by 10000 mouths/digested by its skin/any form of weaponry it's formed its body into.

>>1498139
>aesthetic

wut

well, i know you're probably trolling BUT heres a logical argument that saya is NOT a shoggoth

1. Shoggoths cannot communicate IIRC, Saya can
2. Shoggoths can't (and have no need) to reproduce sexually, Saya does via spore release and KOJI SPERM
3. Saya got raped by an old man against her will, a shoggoth would devour said old man
4. Saya can alter the minds of humans / experiment on them, Shoggoths lack this sophistication
5. Shoggoth's can't be killed by bullets, Saya can

>>1498147
There's also logical arguments that point to her being a shoggoth. Even an official diceroll.

>>1498147

She could just be a mutated Shoggoth. Mutations gave them the ability to live on land, another mutation might give one Saya's attributes.

>>1498147

>wut

The Elder Things lived for art. They do a lot of stuff for aesthetics.

>1. Shoggoths cannot communicate IIRC, Saya can
Smart ones can. They were intelligent enough to incite a war against the Elder Things once, you know. They lost terribly.
>2. Shoggoths can't (and have no need) to reproduce sexually, Saya does via spore release and KOJI SPERM
They presumably can (THEY'RE WALKING[slithering] SHAPESHIFTING BIOENGINES), but diffusion is easier for them.
>3. Saya got raped by an old man against her will, a shoggoth would devour said old man
If it was hungry. Or maybe she wanted it. If she's a lovecraftian horror in ANY sense she could kill him effortlessly. Maybe she/the shoggoth didn't want a fuss. There ARE intelligent ones that think rationally.
>4. Saya can alter the minds of humans / experiment on them, Shoggoths lack this sophistication
Insanity check anyone? Also, once again, intelligent ones; shapeshifting bioengine.
>5. Shoggoth's can't be killed by bullets, Saya can
ENOUGH bullets would disorient it. Tiny shoggoths could be put into catatonic states. They have... "blood", in a sense. Liquid matter that they require. If they lose it, they'll... melt? Die? Hard to say.

>>1498150
but she can't be a shoggoth if there is but a single contradiction

at most, it can be said she is "very similar and perhaps inspired by" the Shoggoth

if we say "A shoggoth has X, Y, and Z"
and Saya is "X, Y, but not Z"
then Saya is not a shoggoth, and that is the case here

>>1498152

You mean a Shoggoth Lord?
Those aren't really accepted into Lovecraft canon, but sure.

>>1498158
all fair responses, except the sexual reproduction part and the insanity part

the Elder Things created them specifically without the ability to reproduce sexually.

also Saya can CURE mental disabilities, eg insane -> sane
as well as sane -> insane
it would be entirely speculation (a huge stretch i would think) to propose that a Shoggoth is also capable of restoring a persons sanity

>>1498065
That's You, the partial pictures of her are when she's raping You but they're all NSFW.

>>1498163
that's not a blond hair saya

thats the angel chick from that angelo armanas thing (i think)

>>1498174
raping? no
trying to kill? yes

>>1498174
actual sexual rape, or rape in the sense of prolonged violent murder

>>1498171
>it would be entirely speculation (a huge stretch i would think) to propose that a Shoggoth is also capable of restoring a persons sanity

If an Elder Thing commanded it...
I highly, highly doubt it would do it out if its will.

Bioengine; it'd link up with your mind and fix what's "broken". A lot of things can connect to minds in Lovecraftian lore. Usually this breaks things. Doing it carefully can fix things.

>the Elder Things created them specifically without the ability to reproduce sexually.

And the Elder Things created them NOT to rise up in a rebellion or even gain self-awareness (this surprised the Elder Things, albeit happily) but they DID IT ANYWAY.

>>1498174
Thats the only picture
i just went through the in-game CG and that's the only one i could find

Aren't Shoggoth Lords in human form always HIDEOUSLY OBESE AND DISGUSTING?

... Well, I dunno. Maybe she's a really good Shoggoth Lord.

>>1498182
insanity aside (that's a speculative point, and that goes nowhere -_-)

until Shoggoths having sex (with a human, and without killing said human) becomes canon, and releasing their "offspring" as mutagens aimed at the human race no less, Saya is NOT a shoggoth

By all means, when Shoggoth sexs appears in the lovecraftian universe, bring this topic up again.

>>1498191
Shoggoth lords we're stupid
saying this as a H.P fan, they should never have been documented/allowed.

>>1498199
>we're stupid
>we're

Looks like they have company.

>>1498207
>Shoggoths may or may not be born from Ubbo-Sathla anyway.

...they were made by the Elder Things...

>>1498186
Look harder, they're right there, I just checked.

>>1498214

And the Elder Things kept Ubbo-Sathla in a cage.
And may have made him too. Or found him. Or brought him with them to Earth.

Why are you people so obsessed with dubbing Saya with some existing fictitious species?

Is this argument ignoring or incorporating the fact that Saya is an AI.

>>1498229
AI as in a character in a galgame?
or AI as in artificial life -> intelligence

cuz Shoggoths are also AI in that sense

even though Saya is many steps higher...

>>1498217
Ah you mean the girl
i thought you mean the guy

i was like "wtf? his name is Koji, and she doesn't rape him"

yes indeed, but it's still pretty much the same as what you see in>>1498065

only...there are boobs

>>1498252
AI as in she was created in order to do research... on relationships? Love? Or something else? I can't really recall.

Ok then.

>>1498255
a starfish fossil?

>>1498260
wasn't she just researching the human genome + the human mind in order to recreate the world as she saw fit?

basically she decided "if everyone is like me, then Koji can finally return to the world he wanted while seeing me as beautiful"
but more over is the idea that
"everyone wants to kill me, but if they are the same as me this problem disappears"

amongst other DEEP SHIT, which is MEANINGFUL

>>1498260
She was created to colonize. Probably by a species that had painfully limited dimensional travel and could only send a tiny piece of their genetics in the form of an unintelligent blob with the programmed instinct to reproduce. Love had nothing to do with it. But she became a little too intelligent and human-like. So instead of being able to concentrate on only reproduction she started getting fancy ideas about love.

>>1498272
she was MAN MADE before you get any funky ideas

>>1498267
FUCK why do i keep saying koji

i mean the main char

name i can't fucking remember

>>1498273
She wasn't manmade, her father raised her but didn't create her, those are his theories.

>>1498277
i was fairly sure that he discovered alien genetic material, but it wasnt alive
just the blueprints really

and using that, he created Saya.

>>1498267
Yes, definitely that was her purpose after she met Fuminori, etc. I'm pretty sure that wasn't her initial purpose though; I'm thinking of what she discussed with the professor (the transcription of which Ryouko finds and reads).

>>1498272
Really? I thought that one of the initial reasons she pursued a relationship with Fuminori was because she found it impossible to deepen her understanding without firsthand experience?

>>1498286
Well yeah 'raising', she created herself. He was just there helping after he saw that 'it' was actually maturing from formless blob into something more intelligent as it came into contact with animals. He didn't create her any more than you create a toddler you teach.

>>1498294
Uh...when you say "create a toddler"
do you mean create the toddler biologically as in "i'm your father"

or create as in how a movie producer may create an "actor"
or how a person may adopt a child and create a "son"

and... Now I'm getting this game. Thanks for corrupting me, jerks.

>>1498320
corrupt?

just because it has guro etc doesn't make it an evil game

infact it's used with meaning and purpose, even the rape is an important device towards both character development and atmosphere.

Saya no Uta is a good game, but you need the maturity to fully appreciate it.

>>1498324

Never played ~any~ game similar to this before.

>>1498331
Fuck yeah Kusari and Saya!
BFF!

>>1498006
I don't fucking care. I'll tenderly make love to Saya in any form.

>>1498371
by "tenderly make love to" i think you mean "brutally get devoured by"

>>1498477

>>1498374
Hey it's Saya, doesn't matter if she first plays with my brain or rapes me with her tentacles.
I would still love her ;__;

That's right.

Somewhat nauseous.

>>1498509

Yeah, but Metroids are just fine to missiles except when frozen. So she can be just fine to bullets except when frozen. And shoggoths are pretty vulnerable while frozen, too.

You guys talking about me?

>>1498405
Woah, that was fantastic.

>>1498483
Goddamn, Fuminori is always clean and Koji gets all the shit.

Saya is NOT a Shoggoth. She's a random made-up creature from the Dreamlands. They pretty much come out and fucking say the professer guy summoned her with stuff related to the Silver Key.

Nitro also gave her an official sanity roll and it's not a shoggoth's. It's exactly the same as a Hound of Tindalos' but she's obviously not one.

>5. Shoggoth's can't be killed by bullets, Saya can

No she can't?

It's been ages since I last played the game but IIRC whatshername froze her with some chemicals first THEN shot her, which shattered her into lots of small bits.

lovecraft is doing cartwheels in his grave

>>1498497
This is why we need a translation... ;____;

>>1498497
Yeah, she chucked some stuff that brought her down to -197℃ at her first then shotgunned her.

>>1498497
which basically means she was shot by bullets
reason she FROZE her was so that saya wouldn't release the spores

>>1498509
No, she was frozen so she'd fucking shatter when shot, genius.

I heard a lot about this VN but never bothered to tried it, this thread convinced me.

>>1498581
It's pretty fucking loved, yes.

I always thought that Saya wasn't supposed to be anything directly. It's pretty clear that the game takes some influence from HPL mythos, but Nitro+ most probably weren't concerned about the issue. They did whatever they wanted and what was convenient for the story as they liked it.

So, for that matter, Saya is somethinh Nitro+ imagined, probably taking a lot of elements from shoggoths just like every writer imagines their own dragons or own trolls. Just because HPL's creatures are relatively new in the time scope doesn't mean they should be treated any different.

>>1498687

Is there any reason why Saya doesn't eat protagonist? What, she/it finds him intreasting or something?

>>1498812

>>1498812

He has a 14 inch penis.

>>1498818
seriously? love?
I thought lovecraft hated love and shit like that.
ah well.

>>1498812
at first, but the primary reason is that she loves him.
At one point Saya is willing to cure the protagonist, and an hero/disappear because she cares for him so much (although, it's considered a BAD END). which just goes to show how deep this shit is.

plus, he's pretty much the only guy who won't run away screaming and pissing his pants.

>>1498827
Lovecraft =/= Nitro+
inspired, yes
derived, no

>>1498812
He isn't afraid of her.

>>1498962
Main character is stuck in a nutty world with nutty people and is nuts.

Turns out that the entire game is a daydraem of his and he's really just a nutter in a nuthouse THE END.

>>1499001
Nice spoilers faggot.

>>1498812
Saya isn't some horrible monster that goes around eating everyone she meets. It's just an occasional thing.

>>1499008
Probably not actual spoilers.

So, is there an translation project going for this?

>>1499702
As soon as Fuminori is going to be the translator. You know, so Saya won't eat him.

It'll be finished right after Cross Channel.

>>1499734
Wait... I thought no one was working on it since it was stopped at 70%?

>>1499351
They are..

It turns out that the people in his dream are based on things he see in the hospital (one of the girls is a crow he talks to on the roof, another is a cat, etc.)

In the ending you at first think he's cured because he knows that he's in a nuthouse, but then he talks to a doctor and it turns out that now he thinks HE'S a doctor and is still loony. The end.

Hmm... doesn't Tetsuo's "blob form" from Akira remind you of a Shoggoth? And the DNA computer from that one Johnny Quest episode.
Any more come to mind?

Safely finishing the daily practice period, and becoming a regular teacher is his goal.
However, his mind begins to tire.

>Uneasiness and nightmares come in sudden attacks, causing a strain, a social phobia, begins to grow more and more every day.
Slowly a fear of the girls he meets with after school begins to emerge, yet at the same time, a desire and passion.
Disgust, a kind of taboo, such a feeling is directed to the adult women who are his colleagues.

>"Am I really fit to be a teacher?"

>Day by day, the pressure builds.

>Even when the lessons are over, the lights are off, and the school is closed for another night.
He cannot help but wander.

She was gender-neutral at first, possibly masculine. She starts insisting that she is female after she starts getting the instinct to reproduce.

>>1502270
Btw, if you think about it, what happens after that, doesn't make a harem for Fuminori?

>>1503024
Yeah, I mean, those frogs then started to have huge claws and fangs and then killed everyone on the island.
