/jp/ - Otaku Culture

How do I not have it bog my computer to death?

>For the 100% cpu issue, download the official krkr sdk from http://kikyou.info/tvp/.. Copy the エンジン設定.exe in there to the KnS folder. Run it and change the 処理ウェイト setting from ウェイトをかけない / 0 to something more reasonable like 60Hz / 60.

The problem is that I don't see where to download the sdk/exe. There's like 5 on that page.

What routes are there in the game ? i tried playing it by ear and i got a bad end which has never happened to me before in any game.Seems i derped hard here.

>>7560072

Probably because it is so damn good. /jp/ has a fondness for trolling and ridicule, and something that's actually quality falls off the scope.
A focused storyline, realistic, non-moeblob characters, a serious, grimdark tone, and interactive detective work. It's a great game, and one I wish there were more of.

I would also probably steal Toko (Kuchiki) and talk to her for hours, because she's damn awesome.

Should also include the walkthrough:
http://tlwiki.tsukuru.info/index.php?title=Kara_no_Shoujo_Walkthrough

As a sidenote, I should probably pick up some Kara pictures....

>>7560094

There are a few small pieces of evidence you'll need to get to solve things (and the game WILL let you miss them); I actually had this problem too, which is why I eventually found the walkthrough.

>>7560102
Seems like i will be able to do shit without that walkthrough.well,thanks for the info.

>>7560096
I think Kuchiki Toko is my favorite character in the series too.

>>7560094
Some of the choices need a lot of thinking (Like choosing the people to get fingerprints off of, and some of the later stuff)

When I play a visual novel, I play it once by what I would do, and then I use a walkthrough. I think I'd feel stuck if I didn't use one for this game.

First time, I get the ending where you get abducted with Orihime in the infirmary, and then die

>>7560114
I got that one too and it doesnt look like its on the walkthrough,so im assuming its the ending where you fucked up ultra time

>>7560114

Me as well. That's actually where I got stuck although I did miss the small piece of paper in Orihime's skirt).

To be fair, the game does tell you that you've messed up if you miss the fingerprints, but it doesn't give hints on how to correct it. I was getting the hint, just never made the connection to needingYui's writing sample.

>>7560086

Enjoying it a lot so far. Also, fuck yeah, Kuchiki Toko. I haven't finished it yet, and every time I hear news of a deaf I fear that Toko has died. I sure hope there's no bad endings with her being horribly mutilated.

>>7560132

I guess that depends on what you consider mutilation.
Also, the other Toko's a bitch, you'll understand in time.

>>7560116
I got that ending the first time round as well. The first bad end mentioned in the walkthrough is very similar to that ending, but with an extra scene prior..

Did the last thread get deleted yesterday? It got up to something like 80 posts then it was just gone?

Sure is fun looking at this thread and reading, navigating my mouse as to miss them spoilers.

>>7560154

I think one of them is still around, I tried to upload a pic but a 'duplicate file entry was detected'.

Speaking of the other threads, anyone make it to the true end? I made it to the ending described in the walkthrough (changing some trivial choices, like Walking to Toko when she's painting, not getting so involved with Hatsune, etc), but I never ran into the final option listed in the walkthrough. Any key points I missed (yes, I did get Stella's locket)

>links to mangagamer instead of a ddl
Fuck off

>>7560178

I actually bought the game, and it's worth it IMO.

Ironically, the DRM free executable was the only thing that would launch the game for me, even after disabling the firewalls and running it in compatibility mode.

>>7560178
>>>/v/

>>7560186
Yeah I bought it too. I hope it sells well so we get more Innocent Grey. I really like the mood and artwork.

>>7560192
; _ ; I don't want any more people that I grow fond of mutilted/abducted/etc..

How are their other works?

I just started playing this evening and I'm already cringing over these poor innocent girls who are probably gonna die ;_;

>>7560231

Was that first line directed at
>>7560148
? There are at least two anons who bought the game, and I always post some sort of picture (generally a wallpaper) with my reply.

Although, I also am expressing some interest in the innocent Grey works as well, especially if they're as good as/like Kara. Haven't done any research on the company yet (because I didn't know of them until I bought Kara), but I doubt they currently have any translated works.

>>7560231
I can't say I am fond of abduction and murder, perhaps read this interview with IG.

>>7560253

You don't understand. You really don't understand. O_O
Although, that did make it more interesting to me.

>>7560269
>O_O
I think the other guy had it right, Fuck off.

>>7560258
:) Nah, I just mean in general.

Kara no Shoujo kind of made me... care about what happened to Toko.

I got slightly spoiled, where I knew something unfortunate will happen to Toko. I didn't know what, so I was cringing in all the death scenes.

And also, right when I said your sister's best friend isn't all that bad, BAM

The other Toko kind of had it coming, but I wouldn't wish death upon her. Her actions had such sad consequences though.

>>7560264
Thank you anon :) I'll read them.

>>7560288

Yeah, I always had a morbid fear something would happen to Kuchiki and then it did ;_; That really sucked balls.[/Spoiler]. The type of characters I like are very rare, and Kuchiki happened to be an unexpected find, which made me happy (bonus points for being a main character).

Lol, I was also saddened by the death of Tuzuriko but I guess the game was kind of making a point out of [/spoilers] serial killers being somewhat insane.
Yeah, I felt no sympathy for the other Toko. mostly because of how hard she screwed over Kuchiki. I was actually kinda glad to see her go, even if it makes me sound a bit harsh.

>>7560317


Damnit, I forgot my wallapaper. Also, spoiler fail..

missed the past few threads, any ddls out yet?

Damn it MangaGamers, only if you had the hard copies of this game, I'd actually buy the game.

>>7560288
stop with those smileys.

Take 2...

>>7560288

Yeah, I always had a morbid fear that something would happen to Kuchiki and then it did. ;_; That sucked balls. The type of characters I tend to like are fairly rare, and she was an unexpected find (bonus points for being a main character).

Yeah, I was also saddened by Tsuzuriko's death, but I guess the game was making a point of how insane serial killers are.

Yeah, I felt no sympathy for the other Toko, especially because how hard she fucked over Kuchiki. I was actually somewhat glad to see her go, regardless of how terrible a person that might make me. Although, I guess she did end up like Kuchiki, just not exactly as she intended.

>>7560334

Yeah, I was surprised it was a digital copy, but as long as you get the DRM free .exe you can just burn it to a CD.

What, can't handle a display of emotion? O_o

>>7560340
Isn't that exactly what I said, minus my feelings for Toko #2?

Reading the interviews that >>7560264 linked, I kind of inferred a few things.

Note) I haven't done the true ending yet, I got endings #1, #2, #3 according to the walkthrough (I used http://erogedownload.com/walkthroughs/kara-no-shoujo-walkthrough/#more-1245 , but they're essentially the same thing), so I don't know everything, but

>Kara no Shoujo. You originally released it in 2008
>we created Caucasus in 2009 where you can choose to save the heroine based on your choices.
>In later works, we believe that there will be both characters that you can save and those that must inevitably die.

Fuck. So sad @ Toko ; _ ; She's fucked, isn't she

>>7560351
I just ignore people that tell me what to do and do things anyways :o~

>>7560360

Can't I agree?

I'm not sure if I made it to the 'true' ending or not, there was a final scene listed on the walkthrough that I apparently didn't reach, or misinterpreted as part of the previous events. I was hoping someone else has made it to the true end, so I can verify. But, it seems no one's there yet, or experiencing the sames things I did.

As for their other works, they sound genuinely interesting, but I might need some anti-depressants after all of that..

Well, that depends on what you consider getting 'fucked over'. (more spoiler) She does at least 'live', depending on what route you take

>>7560360

>>7560382
Isn't the ending where she lives Ending #1, where you side with the police officer and she ends up living a minimalistic life with no arms and legs ?

My sleep schedule is messed up, so I'm thinking that I'll go to bed somewhat soon and do the true route in a few hours. I'll report back if the true route occurs or not :o.

Ahah, anti-depressants, anon? I'll admit, visual novels do make me a lot more emotional than usual, especially if its a sad one, but I don't think these things should make you depressed.

I'm happy I get to learn about the different characters :)

So, how am I supposed to patch with those .xp3 files?

>>7560396

I'm referring to the ending where you leave the search to the police and look up her information on your own. The walkthrough mentions a scene where you 'Go take a look.', which I didn't seem to get.
unless, of course, it's referring to walking over to the park bench, but that didn't seem quite right. Or maybe it is, and it's just depressing
I did go back and get Ending #1 Which seems the be the happiest result of the affair so far. I kinda wish there was some way to prevent what happened to Kuchiki though, because I have a feeling lacking limbs/independence would degrade her character after a while, which would suck.

It was a slight hyperbole, mostly because I really only care about the characters I like, so having them getting torn up like that has the greatest impact on me.

Lol, wall of spoiler text anyone?

>>7560421
just put them in your Kara_no_Shoujo directory.
This was answered many times in the old thread.

>>7560431

Case in point...


>>7560421

IIRC, you just add .patch after .xp3, and kirikiri automatically adds it. Not too familiar with the engine though, this is recalling what a friend told me.

bought the game, got spoiled, no incentive to play the game anymore

>>7560438

You own fault for reading the spoiler text.

The game spoiled me

>>7560445
I wasn't spoiled here, but by the game itself

>>7560431
All the endings where I went off and did my own thing ended with Toko dying, followed by extended-toko dying, but again, I didn't get the true ending / only played two endings where I didn't team up with the police guy

>>7560438
I play things for the story. Like, just by going on jp/a/v/lit/anything, you get spoiled.

Who cares if you know how it ends. Look at the journey, look at the character development, look at the meat of it.

At least, I did that for everything except G-Senjou no Maou. The MC was so disgusting that game literally made me feel sick to my stomach, and I felt like throwing up after reading the first few chapters

>>7560453
Notebook bug is a bitch, isnt it.

>>7560453

The part about all of Tatsuhiko's information showing up in the journal? Yeah, I had that bug too, but I assume that's what the patch in OP is listed for. Anyways, there's a lot more story after that incident (and no more spoilers that I'm aware of), so it's still wroth it to play.

>>7560462

Did you get Stella pendant? If so, then I think we reached the same spot you would've had the chance to kill your fiance's murderer.

>>7560433
Oh, so you just leave them there? How convenient. Thanks for answering, I was not following these threads.

>>7560577

Yeah, it seems the kirikiri engine's designed to be easily patchable. I imagine this makes it an ideal engine for fan translators, avoiding messy re-integration of the text.

Orihime died. I did everything to save her. Impossible.

Shit game. Fuck.

It's not perfect, but it's certainly a pleasant change to have such an atmospheric game with distinctive art get localized. It's going to be upsetting when everyone starts calling it shit now that it's been translated. They won't call it shit because of its actual flaws, but just because they enjoy calling everything shit.

Also, take it easy with the emoticons, save them for ironic touhou shitposting threads.

.

Just got around to reading the trial to decide whether I like it or not.

First impressions, I really really like the music. The atmosphere's great too... read a yuri scene, I'm almost sold.

Problem is... I've never spent money on a visual novel. Ever. And so that's the difficulty I face in deciding whether I wanna get this.

'Course, if I could find it for free...

I guess they didn't add those voices in...
Meh, I'll just pirate it and buy the original in my yearly Akihabara trip~.

>>7561014
this game wasn't tagged Death of Heroine on VNDB for nothing, y'know. If you're going to play it through to the end, I'm afraid you're going to have to get used to that happening ;_;

But yeah, poor Orihime...

I've been playing nonstop for the past week. Today I reached the Hell's Clown and then the Deformed Maiden endings.

Thoughts in order:
1.) HOLY---- kjdsglkjdslkjfdslkjfdslkfds
2.) ;_;
3.) THIS IS SO FUCKED UP
4.) ;_________________;
5.) Damn, this is a great game.

It's pretty clear I've hit a dead end. Time to start my investigation over.


Also, a HUGE thanks to the makers and posters of the voice patch and notebook bugfix.

>Game : http://www.mangagamer.com/r18/

hahahaohwow.jpg

Is anybody else having a problem with the novel scenes? For example the ones in Mizuhara's point of view, when she moves to another room it cuts off before it shows the end of the previous scene's text and moves to the next. I have to use the backlog to read what happened.

>>7560096
Toko is a fantastic heroine, both in the eroge sense and in the sense of a classic detective story's femme fatale/dame in distress role - often both at the same time. Like Hitchcock lady meets still-living Laura Palmer ("She's full of secrets").

Sugina Miki and the writers are to be commended. They really have build Kara no Shoujo so that no matter who's murdering girls or what their motives are, the puzzle that is Toko is still the most intriguing mystery in the game.

you fuckers better buy it, I want Cartagra.

Tsuzuriko just died...fuck this game

>>7561092
This game is absolutely, absolutely worth the money. Every element of its production is stellar in quality. The intricacy of its plot, subtlety, and pacing are on par with the better mystery novels, and many of the characters are fantastic. Definitely warrants a buy IMO, especially since that will heighten the possibility of us seeing more English released from Innocent Grey - one of which is the upcoming sequel to Kara no Shoujo.

If you're in it for the yuri, you may be disappointed. Toko and Toko don't get a happy ending no matter how you play the game. However, they're hardly the only ones; friends, companions and lovers get torn apart by tragedy pretty much at every turn in this game.

Furthermore, I was pleasantly surprised to see none of the more irritating tropes to yuri fans in Kara no Shoujo at all. Neither leaves the other for a man, not even if you choose to have Reiji enter a sexual relationship with Toko (you can also choose not to). When Mizuhara's love for Toko takes a turn for the worse, it's motivated by much more than EPL jealousy, and there are no "but we're two girls so WE CAN'T!" scenes.

What's more, the game doesn't leave yuri hints as just subtext. A lot of people acknowledge Mizuhara's affection without question; when it is remarked upon, it's not because they're both girls, but because Mizuhara is so insistent. Yukari even refers to Toko and Toko as an S couple in a conversation with Reiji later on. Heck, Toko's theme in the music player is called S - and yes, that does refer to what you think it does (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Class_S_%28genre%29).).

Kara no Shoujo as a whole really has a literary flavor, a combination of postwar-era S novels and mystery fiction (with more than a dash of Kyougoku Natsuhiko's Mouryo no Hako mixed in there too). It's so good I fear nothing can equal it, not even other InnoGrey games.

Lucky we have KnS 2 to look forward to, then...

cool shit, thanks. /jp/: doing what Mangagamer should have, sooner, since 2008.

would someone let me in on what I have to do to unlock the gallery? I've reached two real ends (with the cherry-blossom background), but it's still closed.

>>7561284
Probably have to get the true end.

>>7560072
Spoiler patch and bugfix patch are both patch3.xp3, wont they just overwrite each other?

>>7561284
The third ending unlocked it for me.

>>7561313
Look again. There's a patch2 and a patch3.

Anyone have a CG pack with the uncensored CGs?

>>7561276
>This game is absolutely, absolutely worth the money.
Yeah, if you like paying for half-assed releases. No, there's no fucking conceivable excuse for them to not release the game fully voiced.

And don't give me that voice patch bullshit. Buyers shouldn't be forced to resort to fan made patches to get the full experience of what they paid for.

Thanks bro, not downloading but I actually needed the link for kureha.

>>7561362

Its 5 AM. Just be happy someone was willing to search for a ddl to save other people time, even if you in particular didn't need it.

>>7561351
Innocent Grey doesn't own the voices, bro. They couldn't get them.

>>7561342
Oh, you're right. My apologies.

>>7561371
>Its
I see no reason to be happy over something I didn't need.
In fact, many /jp/ers would be absolutely livid.

>>7561351

1.) Voice rights are held by another company, which
2.) Requires an obscene amount of money for the voices, making a voice released impractical since
3.) They're going to lose money on it either way since cheap asshats like you will find something to complain about and then just pirate it anyway.

Quit fucking whining. It's less than $40 for this, you prick. Buying it is the only way to show the company that the English-speaking market is worthwhile and get voices in future games.

>>7561386
Not an excuse
>>7561422
I'm not pirating it, I'm the guy who thanked that other guy for posting the kureha link, and I said there I wouldn't download it. The art is gorgeous but I currently don't have much interest in the game itself.

Jesus fucking christ, stop assuming things and think before you jump on people's throats.

Well

Lets say the game is $10,000 to licence, and $50,000 to get the voices

Obviously, it's not worth getting the voices. And either way, they're releasing something we can normally never get.

With a novel that I'm this into, I think relying on external places for the voice patch is worth it.

>>7561436
It's not an excuse. Innocent Grey doesn't hold the voice rights so there's no way they could get them without paying tons of money for them. It's like >>7561422 said. People are going to whine no matter what.

Now go fuck yourself, you rude prick. Go bitch about something worthwhile.

>>7561520
Unfortunately no, they don't

When I'm running the game, some kind of activation pops up - what's more, it's in Japanese. What the heck am I supposed to do, anyone had similar problem?

>>7561709

Buy the game. input the digital-only CD key.

Am I the only one whose the 'skip already seen text' function doesn't work? It skips everything (even after the trial ended). Is that normal?

>>7561362
>>7561415
Grammar nazis shitting up /jp/.

>>7561742
In message set up, you have skip all or previously read?

>>7561751
I am sorry that I still have some standards left within my broken self.

>>7561757
To be fair, being a giant grammar nazi isn't that good of a standard. If you're bettering yourself, you should focus on the big issues, not the minute details.

The point of language is to communicate. If he uses the wrong its / it's / there / they're / their, we still understand. Just say something like "its*" and move on, no need to shitpost anon.

>>7561742
This was solved for me by installing the voice patch.

>>7561760

As one who, on a daily basis, uses the language to communicate with others, I find it disdainful to watch as others butcher the language because they lack the mental capacity to learn it correctly.

>>7561774
There are those who are too stupid to write correctly, and there are those who make typos every once in a while. I'd say this is a case of the latter rather than the former.

>>7561777

You have too much optimism in the shit-posters who populate this board.

>>7561754
'Skip previously read' is checked. I checked 'skip all' too, in case they were inverted, but same result.
>>7561760
I added then removed the voice patch, but nothing changed (which was a bit of a pain with the non-compatibility). I even added and removed the supposed bug fix patch and the font patch.

Oh well, whatever. The choices already chosen are in another color, that should be enough.

>>7561760
>Just say something like "its*" and move on, no need to shitpost anon.

That's what he did, you goddamn retard.

And besides, you're on 4chan. You should expect to be insulted at every corner - and shrug it off and move on instead of starting a flame of whining.

>>7561784
I find it disdainful that you judge people's intelligence based on their grammar.

If someone isn't smart enough to use the language correctly, that's their business. You going out of your way to call them out on it is a show of superiority complex, and most likely narcissism with security issues on a deeper level.

Just let it slide. You don't know his experiences, and you don't know if it was a mistake or not. Making an assumption is an act of ignorance. Correcting someone is okay, but making assumptions about their mistakes, then judging and shitposting about it is going a little bit too far.

>>7561799

And yet you assume that it was a typo on their part, and judge them to be a regular /jp/er or something along those lines?

The only difference between the two of us would be you see the cup as nearly full when it is quite empty. It being at exactly half is beside the point.

>>7561805
I would rather not make any comments about their intelligence, as their is not enough information to assume they are unintelligent / intelligent.

In the end, their intelligence doesn't matter, rather the quality of their post should be held the most important. I believe quality should be measured by the substance of the post, not petty grammar mistakes.

As for judging people to be 'regulars', I don't believe in newfag/regular theory. You can have someone new post a very good post, just as you can have a regular post a shit post. Date of joining in this case has absolutely no relevance.

In the case for the guy supplying the link to the direct download, I feel that he decided to help some people on /jp/ out, and should be

1) Thanked for it
or 2) Ignored/Deleted because of an illegal piracy link

but in either case, not called out for having bad grammar. The grammar in this case is extremely secondary to the act that he did.

>>7561818
there* :) Oops

Ugh, too much whining and not enough discussion. Have a delicious imouto.

>Game : http://www.mangagamer.com/r18/

get the fuck back to /v/ you fucking dumb shit

I'm wondering if it's possible/if anyone did extract the script? I'm only interested in that mostly.

>>7561194
Is there any way to fix this?

>>7561882
Fairly certain you are the one from /v/.

The irony of my post is that I am making equally as shit a contribution as your terrible post.

>>7561890
You are.
/jp/ never ever post a link to the official site without providing either torrent or DDL.

Well, this thread got shat on while I was asleep. At east it's still around, eh?

>>7561276
A second? Interesting. I wasn't seeing how they could continue they story after the endings I reached, maybe they bring in a new cast?

Also, I apparently missed the yuri between Toko and Toko, not that I'm too upset because Mizuhara totally deserved what happened to her. Fuck that insecure bitch and screwing over Kuchiki.

>>7561891
Fuck off. I am aware of that, but if you think pirating a release like this is a good thing you are a moron in any case. Innocent Grey is niche in a niche genre and most people want more of their stuff, pirating it because you want to be part of some "lol i not moralfag" /v/ club bullshit is absurd.

>>7561891
bangkok, why do you care so much when you can read it in japanese, if you haven't already?

>>7561904
i dont care about the game i just rage whenever people do this shit

>>7561907

Then go rage elsewhere and stop shitposting in this thread. The ddls have been in various threads before, and there's nothing wrong with promoting the actual game so we can see more releases.
If the pirates want the game that badly they'll find it on their own. If you were actually from /jp/, you'd know of hongfire and how easy it is to find games there. Fuck off or be reported, your choice.

It is Bangkok with his name in runes. He knows nobody took him seriously so he thought he could fool people with changing his name in this way. I hope a mod or janitor or whatever the fuck we have now deletes these posts.

>>7561926
I'm talking about the faggot you're arguing with, read the thread

>>7561925

No, I'm aware, that's why I'm reporting him now. I made a somewhat similar point back here >>7560096

But, I guess it is good to mention for anyone who's actually taking him seriously.

>>7561929
>>7561932

>>7561936
>>7561915

>>7560072

I just noticed something about the patches:

Any save files included before patching won't load. The error that appears is attached as the picture, but has too many kanji for me to understand.
Everything works normally if I start a new game, but it seems pre-patch saves won't work. Haven't tried a post-patch save, but I doubt it'll have problems.

I really hope I can at least save Kyoko.

Delicious older lady doesn't deserve to die a painful death where she gets her uterus removed ;_;

>>7562036

Well, I haven't done all of the stuff with Kyoko, but she's made it out ok so far. You'll understand why after finishing the first arc.

>>7562029
Generally, messing with any VN script file will make saves at that script file incompatible.

>>7562047
yeah, I assumed so, so the post is mostly a POI for anyone playing it pre-patched.

I was also somewhat surprised by the femininity in Kuchiki's voice. I expected it to sound a bit more....mature, maybe? Closer to Mitsuru (Persona 3) or Mitsuzu (11eyes). But, I guess that's part of Kuchiki's character as well.

Sure is summer in here

>>7562061
agreed, I fucking love Toko's voice.

Her seiyuu is super versatile, too. was pissed when I heard they had her playing one of the lead girls in Caucasus too, but from the voice samples they sound almost nothing alike.

>>7562066
The irony of making such a statement is that is seems you are new yourself. What made you say this in any case?

>>7562103

Please don't feed the trolls.

I imagine it was the consecutive derailments of the thread that we've finally ended and would like to avoid resuming.

I'm not really a fan of Toko's voice. It sounds a little too... I don't know what I'm looking for here. Young?
I know the writing describes her as not talking like a girl, but I still imagined she'd sound a bit more refined, or elegant.
I guess that's the big difference when you read something without voice acting.

Well, finished it, and now I feel completely empty inside and depressed, fuck. Great read at the very least. Too bad Innocent Grey hates the readers.

>>7562103
I think the guy who writes like someone fresh off animesuki, includes unrelated fanart in every one of his posts, uses emoticons, and is actually encouraging people to give money to mangagamer is a dead giveaway.

>>7562120

Which ending did you take? Some of them aren't AS bad, at least Kuchiki ends up living in one of them.

But I do agree, it's very well done.

>>7562151
Yeah, but after reading that I sure wished she'd died instead of being made to live on as a torso with >50% of her body removed ;______;

>>7562151
Read all the ends, kinda dissapointed that there was no Good End as a fanservice so to speak, and the True End didn't feel that much better than some of the other endings, just an extra scene after.

After looking up KnS2 on VNDB I'm kind of intrigued of what Innocent Grey is going to do, the cover is pretty interesting in my opinion. Too bad we'll likely have to wait some years before we have the chance to read it. ;_;

>>7562192

Some of the best are the most depressing, eh?

Yeah, I was wondering about that as well. It would seem difficult to continue with the current cast given that most of them have been murdered by the end of the game. Maybe they have Reiji go hunt for Kuchiki? It'll be interesting to see what they come up with.

game is good and all, but the first uncensored CG I saw made me realize that wow, I really don't like the way Sugina Miki draws dicks. some of the censored CG are preferable imo.

So, I just finished once. Orihime got killed, then a few days later, Yukari was kidnapped. Then I didn't want to kill Shugo to save Yukari.

Is Orihime always dead regardless of choices, and also, I guess I have to kill Shugo to continue on without the game ending for me, right?

>>7562225

Orihime dies no matter what; it's an unavoidable part of the plot. Shugo (Takashiro, your detective friend/Cartagra protagonist) doesn't EVER die that I know of, so unless that was a bad end, I don't know what you're referring to.

If you mean his wife, Kazuna, then yes, you have three options where she's concerned: 1.) fail the investigation and she dies, 2.) foul it up halfway through and she disappears and then shows up alive, but... well, you'll see, or 3.) do everything right and you find her alive and healthy, and the game continues[/spoiler}

>>7562225
Okay, disregard that, looks like I fucked up, regardless of what I choose, it's game over. Oh well, I'm fucked.

>>7562215
Yeah, I really didn't like the dick style either. It seemed like they were misshapen and discolored...

>>7562225
No, you messed up on the fingerprint selection, and may have also missed the scrap of notebook paper in Orihime's skirt. To get past it be sure to include Yui in the fingerprint analysis and get their sample at the school

And yes, she's gonna die, no matter what.

>>7562192
How many hours did it take you for the complete playthrough?

I've been pretty busy these past few days so I haven't gotten a good chance to sit down and play it for more than an hour at a time.

>>7562249
I chose Yui's for sure, I knew I did that right. But how the fuck am I supposed to get Orihime's skirt?

>>7562251

I'm fairly sure the order is skirt -> leg -> skirt, just keep checking everywhere except the mouth twice and it should trigger. Although you will need the paper in the mouth as well. It seems that the mouth piece ends the investigation though, so save it for last.

>>7562254
Oh, from her corpse? Great, thanks. I didn't want to use a shitty guide and pussy it out and now I won't have to!

>>7562250
It took me around 25 hours to read through the whole thing, including bad endings/alternative endings. Though I skipped some stuff I had read before and I read quite fast.

>>7562249
btw it's handwriting samples you're collecting, not fingerprints (before someone posts going "wut fingerprints?")

>>7562277

herp de derp de derp de derp.....

A bit of an important distinction, eh?

Fuck's sake, I wish the skip non read actually worked. I'm trying to go back through the game and I'm choosing a few things differently and I just missed half a scene because I'm holding down CTRL rather than pressing skip because the skip doesn't work, it just stops randomly.

>>7562299

Yeah, I hated that too. Unfortunately, I lack the cracking skills and tools to do anything about it...

Hurray backlog!

Fucking bullshit. I was stucked in an endless march loop for hours and decided to fucking read the walkthrough.
Guess what, I missed a stupid pixel for this.

Fucking eroge devs need to stop making stupid mini games.

Nooooo, I didn't want her to die!
Can I avoid her being killed, /jp/?

I'm at April 5th or 6th by the way, if it helps.

>>7562395

Yeah, that's what I was referring to here:
>>7562249
>>7560129

I was also annoyed by something trivial screwing everything over, but that's also like a real investigation. Sometimes the small evidence is what you need to close a case, and it's possible to miss it.

>>7562398

Nope, she's fucked. Don't worry, it'll get worse.

>>7561360
thanks a lot man. for some reason I couldn't find it when i searched hongfire last night. then again it was before work and i was rushed a little bit

>>7562408
Well, fuck. She was my absolute favorite.

>>7562215
I disagree, I was actually super impressed how he drew both male and female genitals. I'm amazed he puts in so much detail into them despite that no one would be able to tell after mosaicing them.

Also I wouldn't have wanted silly cheerful fanservicy ending, it'd have cheapened it a lot in my opinion.

>>7562395
Yeah, I really like how non-linear it is, but at the same time it's fucking annoying when it comes down to dumb shit like that.

>>7562441
I might be biased because out of all the characters, Kuichiki is the one I really attached to but

An ending where she doesn't get mutilated / die would have been nice for my psyche.

I'm feeling kind of lonely now, anon. :(

You can easily say that none of the characters really had to die, and as it was said in the interview above, its necessary for the plot. I just feel that being able to save your heroine... maybe even letting all the others one besides her die... would have added a little bit more closure?

>>7562458
Play Caucaus then and see why I'm against cheap cheerful fanservicy endings where no one, no character at all died. No wonder they said in that interview they go back to the old formula in KnS2 too.

The "real her" has been thoroughly found by Reiji, and she completed her painting in the very end. She departed with absolutely no regrets.

>>7562544
Oh?

That sounds totally fine as an ending. I hadn't played the true route yet, sounds like a real treat :)

I was under the assumption that Like ending #3, she dies when kidnapped. From the way that looks, she lives her kidnapping and dies afterwards

The way I was thinking was like, if you really, really like Orihime, perhaps you can go on a route where you're watching the events from the perspective that you saved her when everything goes to shit. Same with tzururiko and etc. Not like somewhere where in one arc your little sister doesn't get kidnapped for no real reason and its all happy and cheery and everyone lives

so guys I just finished reading the whole thing and got the true end.....

Is there really no way to save Toko? She ends up dead and Mamiya Shinji gets away....and some kid ends up with her quadriplegic corpse....what the hell. This VN was a big downer, I really got attached to all of the girls in the end andTHEY ALL FUCKING DIED. GODDAMMIT TOKO WHY DID YOU HAVE TO DIE AS WELL?

It says trial version. Is this the full game? I put the patches in the same folder and it's working fine for now.
I just don't want to read for four hours only for the game to say the trial has expired.

>>7562641
The trial ends at the art museum on the 13th. If it continues after that, you've got the full game.

>>7562651
Yes, but the link given in the opening post gets you the trial. Where did everyone get the full version?

>>7562653

>>7561360

Just making sure I'm using the spoiler tags correctly before I share my view of the ending, don't want to ruin someone's experience by accident.Spoilerlicious.

>>7562659
Thank your.

anyway if you ask me the best end was

Mamiya Shinji leaving that photograph of him and Toko at the shore side and walking into the lake. It may not have had the most closure but I think it was great because it had the most impact and significance plotwise. And even if Shinji was a total asshole and killed all those people, I felt kinda bad for him in the end

>>7562660
woah, It's like I'm really reading an average forum post.

>>7562631
Maybe you shouldn't even touch utsuges if you complain about something so fundamental to the genre.

>>7562544
I understand the point about not wanting fanservicy endings, but as other have mentioned, just a little ending where Toko didn't had to have everything amputated and could live on happily would've been really nice, that's just my opinion though, I don't feel like it would've ruined the game to have a good ending too.

The only annoying part about the true ending is that sure Toko found herself, or rather, Reiji but she never got to know about it, and she was still missing at the end. I kind feel like the true ending could've been better, but I kind of prefer stories which no matter how horrible the journey is the goal is at the very least a bit happy/good, so my taste is a bit biased, all in all though, great story.

And as >>7562458 said, I too feel lonely and pretty depressed right now. I've no idea what to do either. Probably spend the whole night F5ing this thread in hope of finding... something.

>>7562671
Never had any reason to spoil stuff before because I've always been slow at picking up newly released VNs, and I've had enough shit spoiled to me to make sure I don't fuck up spoiler tags.

If MangaGamer does not actually own the voices, and we download it and patch the game we actually bought, are we not still pirating the voices?
There is no way around pirating it!

>>7562671
Have you read the thread? the guy posting the pretty images has been acting like your average shit forum poster.

>BAAAAWW BAAWWWW DON'T FEEED THE TROLLS
>BAAAW BAAAW I REPORT U
>BAAAAWW BAAAWW CAN'T HANDLE MY EMOTICONS

>>7562715
yes and I've said previously I'd like to think that he is a reverse troll.

>>7562715
I thought it was kind of fun talking to him.

and I don't think you should judge someone on if they use emoticons. They weren't superfluous either, they were just emoticons to relay how he was feeling.

If he was doing something like ^_________________^ XD KAWAI BISHIE etc.etc., I can see how you would have a problem with it. But something like :) / :( every few lines is just... normal?

>>7562728
I came to /jp/ because it was free of emoticons and other kinds of annoying posting that forums with an otaku approach usually have. I would like it to stay that way.

Also, this a bloody imageboard for fuck's sake, if you really HAVE to use an emoticon use a fucking image and be done with it.

>>7562728
>normal

Theirs your problem.

Though xD in all seriousness [LOL] if we allow :))))) smiley faces it will get to a point >:Z where they will be XD shoehorned into O_o every second space.

And as you can see :P it's impossible to take seriously. ;)

So please, just lose the smileys.

>>7562715

For someone so adamantly portraying my use of emoticons as wrong, they were present in 3 of my 34 posts, with the final one used to mock the guy complaining about them.

Also, for someone claiming to be making positive contributions, you're getting crabby about a very small section of the thread and not actually talking about the game. Aside from steering the troll out of the thread, I've kept to the topic, unlike yourself.

I also used my picture at least 5 times to refer to a mood or contextual 'emotion', but trolls are good at missing the finer details.

Finally, >>7562749 some of my posts contained multiple emotions which aren't expressed in a single picture.

So, who's posting shit and trolling the thread? Not me.

>>7562749
>Theirs
Don't do that.

>>7562776
You need to get it in your head that emoticons are frowned upon on /jp/ (and most parts of 4chan)

Another quality thread gone to shit because a bunch of aspies had to kick up a fuss because someone committed the unforgivable sin of using an emoticon. Just don't post, no one actually cares.

>>7562792

Not going to argue with a troll. ;) I've been here a while and know the rules, and also know when a faction is trying to impose their thoughts on the majority.

>>7562802
>I've been here a while
>;)
Apparently not.

papapapapapapa

>>7562802
How am I being a troll? If anything I'm asking you nicely to stop. You're the one trolling people by insisting on using your emoticons.

>>7562814
Wow. You're stupid. I'm not the same emoticon faggot, but by your logic, as he said, you're the troll, because you're insisting on not using emoticons.

Use of emoticons are not indicative of amount of time on 4chan. I've been here pre-/jp/ and although I use emoticons now, it was really, really, really bad before ^_______________^ bad, but now it's only :) bad (but fortunately for you guys that are irked by it, I didn't post)

Use of emoticons is frowned upon, but it is a folkway, not a more. This means that
>>7562802
can use as many emoticons as he wants, and there's absolutely nothing you can do about it.

You should start looking at the substance of posts rather than little aesthetic things. It's like if your son wanted to kill someone, there's no difference between whether he said "I want to fucking kill that guy" and "I want to kill him", both thoughts are reprehensible regardless of the degree of anger he said it with.

In this case, ":) I really like Toko" is absolutely no different than "I really like Toko". You can't get everything the way you want, anon. Be tolerant, it's not like we're spamming the living shit out of emoticons to a degree just to annoy you, its just what we do.

will you guys shut the fuck up and take this somewhere else? Nothing about this has anything to do with Kara no Shoujo

Is the true end the most depressing one? I've only had two endings, one being watching Orihime being executed, that was fucking horrible to watch, even AFTER already having saw her being executed from the eyes of the killer before getting my other endings. The other being watching Yukari die from being in a egg of ice or some shit. I didn't really care because Yukari is a shit character, but I did try and kill Shugo for the key, and that made me feel pretty bad.

So where's the translated version of the game? I can't find it on /rs/ or any torrent site. Fuck buying a voiceless digital only version for that kind of money.

>>7562838
Using emoticons on /jp/ is an open invitation for a shitstorm. Why can't you just comply with the silent agreement and stop using them? Why give leeway for people to ruin a nice thread because you used an emoticon? It's like you're asking for it.

And like I previously said, if you really have to use a bloody emoticon use an image and be done with it.

>>7562889
There's a voice patch in the OP. You apply that to the bought game, voila.

>>7562889
Scroll up, someone posted a ddl link already.

>>7562897
Oh, also, if you support the game, voices might actually be in future games, and then we'll have future Innocent Grey titles such as KnS 2 actually translated as well. On the other hand if you don't want to spend a pretty small amount on surviving a very small industry that caters a tiny amount of people, hardly surviving, then so be it, enjoy your no games.

>>7562897
I think it's pretty clear he doesn't want to buy the game and for a good reason. Stop being an insufferable faggot and let people who want to pirate the fucking game pirate it.

>>7562913
Wow, I'm being an insufferable faggot by saying how he just because it's a non-voice version doesn't mean he can't have voices? Fuck off, you shitposting moron. Real quality post by you.

>>7562877
I felt the true end was the most depressing (most of the endings were pretty depressing though in my opinion, the endings you've seen is a preview of what's to come).

>>7562913
I don't think he is stopping anyone. You are blind to your own insufferable faggotry too.

This is for once a title actually worth supporting. Being a hivemind pro-pirate moron because you are on 4chan is fucking retarded.

>>7562918
No, you're being an insufferable faggot because you want to force someone who has made it clear he doesn't want to, buy the game.

I'm not giving you shit for buying the game, nor calling you buyfag nor insulting your decision of supporting the industry. But If a guy wants to pirate the game, let him, You don't have to post a DDL link, but you don't have to force him to buy something he clearly doesn't want to buy.

>>7562943
How in any way shape or form am I FORCING him to do anything? He has free will, this is an image board where people discuss, he can be influenced by me or not, I'm not his fucking father. Can't you comprehend how retarded you're sounding here?

Where exactly am I supposed to be clicking for this one? The guide mentions back of the neck x2 but the pointer refuses to change so I can't click it. After that it mentions a few relating to the drawers are books, but again I simply can't click for some reason.

As fans of said game (or else we wouldn't be on /jp/), we should be promoting the supporting of this industry, especially such a fragile one which caters directly to us.

It's the same as the people that said fuck off to the OP linking the mangagamer site. If all of us pirated it, mangagamer will not be able to give us more translations, and in the worst case, go out of business. We should be encouraging people to buy it, not be giving them more fuel to pirate it.

In any case, pirate it if you want to pirate it, buy it if you want to buy it, but the fact is, you can apply the voice patch to the game, so whether you buy or pirate it, you can enjoy voices.

And honestly? Is anyone alarmed by the sheer speed that the voice patch was released? Did someone from /jp/ do it, or was it leaked by mangagamer themselves? If I'm not mistaken, the voice patch was literally out in the same thread as the release thread.

>>7562955
stop whining

>>7562962
drawers and books rather

>>7562972
>supporting of this industry
Pass.

>>7562962
It's rather the throat than neck you want to click, I too found that odd when following the walkthrough.

Tsuzuriko has finally been killed! Yay. Anyone else find her incredibly annoying?

>>7563002
No. You are horrible.

>>7563002
I found her to be annoying, but by the time she died, Iike...

She wasn't that bad. She could be helpful at times. I didn't see her death coming.

>>7562972
>mangagamer will not be able to give us more translations, and in the worst case, go out of business

And nothing of value would be lost. No, seriously, fuck them for releasing shit voiceless, Fuck them for charging full price for half-assed releases. I knew this shit would become a trend after the koihime fiasco.

>>7562997
Ah, thank you, that seemed as though it was one solid "clickable area" with the face so I missed it.

>>7563002
No, kill yourself please.

>>7563019
Man, you're so cool hating everything. Wish I could be as cool as you.

I mean, they obviously don't add voices because they fucking hate us, right?

>>7563019
This is such a niche market, if they do not give us releases, we are bound by Moogy and other various, extremely unstable mind you, translation projects.

Your self-entitlement is astounding.

By the way, full price is $60 for a game in this day and age. And those games don't have to do things such as negotiate halfway across the world.

I find $40 to be fair, especially since I want to see more of these types of games.

Want to see a half-assed release? Look at Edelweiss before they pulled it back, QCed the shit out of it, and then put it back up.

>>7563037
Not even that, it's $36.20. That's a pretty damn cheap release.

>>7562997
In that screen, the places you can click are the chair (edges not touching her), body (center of back should do it), neck, for which you want to click a little above her choker, and face.

Previous screen only has the table, cord and knife in addition to the body. This is one of the ones where you can't leave until you find everything, so don't worry.

I live in Australia, our dollar is currently worth more than the USD and we are sometimes asked to pay $120 for a new release. So for me this was literally the price of two packs of cigarettes and a ridiculously easy purchase to make.

I do get $470 a fortnight from autism payments though

I really enjoyed the first portion of the game, but like 23 March onward has really been shit all the way to the 11th of May for me. It's lost any suspense or atmosphere or mystery that there was before, sadly. I don't know if this is just a route I'm going down here that's shit, or what, but I hope something picks up soon.

I didn't read the thread because of the spoilers, just wanted to tell how much I love the art. Nearly every character have black hair and dark eyes, yet they don't look the same. It makes the whole thing more believable.

>>7563042

Sounds like a reasonable price for a game you want to sell. I never tend to pay more than that for my console games, unless I must have something the week it is released.

Then again, I am buying PS2 and DS games, which are all starting to get a bit outdated.

>>7563279
Disregard that, suddenly, I have no idea what the fuck is happening. Shame there was like 1 week of pointless filler...

>>7563338
Oh, and now the game is finished. I sure hope that retarded shit is explained at some point. That made zero sense at all, besides the obvious SHE'S CRAZY THAT'S WHY answer.

>>7563350
Your spoiler is pretty much the answer to your own question. I actually liked that ending.

>>7563386
I liked it too. It made me confused again, and I like that. Now onto choosing to not run after Toko!

>>7563447
Oh man. It's like every girl is throwing themselves at Reiji.

>>7563462
Haha, yeah. Then they tend to die. ;_;

>>7563095
You are an autistic welfare nigger, nobody cares what you think. Fuck off, autistic buyfag.

MangaGamer's website is being a peice of shit and not loading for me.

Torrent where?

anyone tried downloading it from kureha one? does it work? I'm still dling.

>>7563530
Wait, are you really using buyfag as an insult?

He's basically paying for your game, and you're calling him out on it, on top of making fun of his disability?

You have some serious issues anon. Serious, serious issues.

>>7563557
There's a direct download link within this thread.

>>7563338
I love that bad end. awesome creepy shit.

The week of "pointless" stuff you're talking about after the 23rd, when you catch the dismemberment murderer, is probably meant as a way to give the player a breather and some fun times with the heroines who are still alive before they go off to die or be horribly disfigured. If it was ALL GRIMDARK YOUNG GIRLS DYING ALL THE TIME, it would become kind of a chore.

>>7562715
greentexter accusing someone of shitposting. pot. kettle. that is all.

whatever. needs more Touko.

>>7562670
I enjoyed that ending myself. Seems like it could have been combined with the true end a bit for some added closure.

How do you get this CG? Is it from after one of the endings?

I like how InnoGrey gave her a whole complete character profile on the game site, complete with voice samples and everything. I wonder if she was going to appear in the game at one point or if they recorded those just to troll players.

>>7564629
Yeah, one of the later endings. You need to spend enough time with her to get that cg.

Can someone post a complete save file?

>>7564658
Yui is alive in the Japanese trial which is why she has CV and samples and shit, not because of trolling anyone, she already appears properly there.
The japanese trial of KnS and Caucasus both play some time before the main game thus when you are seeing the trial from Yukari's pov you meet Yui in the Art club room and speak with her for a bit too.
The trials also got several unique CGs not found in the main game too like this one.

>>7564829
Holy shit, really?

Time to download both of those RIGHT NOW. Thanks.

Does anyone know if the current version on MangaGamer's site still has the notebook bug? I'm assuming it's fixed by now?

How do I get this CG? I've already seen every ending and it's the only one I'm missing.

>>7565260
DId you follow the walkthrough? I remember it being on the second playthrough (starting on save 1 again).

>>7565253
It's fixed.

>>7565287
I followed the walkthrough so I guess I chose something wrong at some point then.

>>7565364
I'm not 100% sure, but I think what you have to do is meet/talk to her a lot and then when Shugo's wife gets taken you need to take a taxi to Kasuga's home and find his book, then meet up with Ousugi at Shugo's appartment.

>>7565407
Is it an important scene? I really don't want to go through the whole thing again just to get one CG.

>>7565765
Not at all, all she does is hug him and says she's there for him, and kisses him, it makes no difference later on what so ever. Absoloutly skipable.

>>7565789
Thought it was something like that. I guess I'll just download a save when I find one.

>>7565253

When I bought it a few days ago it was still there, don't know if they've updated their link since.

Op's patches work though, so include them to be safe.

Also, finally got some Kara pictures.

How long is KnS trial?

>>7561467
The 3rd and 6th links don't work :(

>>7560175
I made it to the true end using this walkthrough:
http://erogedownload.com/walkthroughs/kara-no-shoujo-walkthrough/#more-1245

>>7560094
>i got a bad end which has never happened to me before in any game

Bullshit or you have not played many VNs at all.

Most of them have "screw you, player" endings that are impossible to see coming without a walkthrough.

Well, I just finished the game. It's leaving me kind of lonely, but in like a good way, you know?

I like how 80% of the H-scenes result in a bad end. That was pretty funny

I have a question regarding the crazy-Toko route. Did Reiji actually sleep with her? Throughout the entire thing, he didn't say a single word, and it's pretty clear that she's batshit insane.

I also have a tiny request. Since the HQ CGs' links are down, can someone up Toko's painting? I would like a copy of it~

>>7566125
About Crazy Toko, as you get a game over, I guess she killed him before or during the sex scene but you'll have to ask Innocent Grey if you want to be sure.

>>7565260
Yeah, that's the one.

Note that this ending contains heavy Cartagra spoilers, so you may want to to hold off on watching it (or ctrl through the text just to get the CG) if that's important to you.

>>7566299
Kyoko is elder god tier.

She's absolutely perfect.

>>7566458
I don't think tsuzuriko or your sister should be in god tier at all

Nor do I think the main entire focus of the game / character with the absolute most development / the one I liked the most ; ; should be in low tier

Kyoko was pretty fun though.

>>7566299
Yukari to Top Tier and Orihime/Toko to God Tier and I'm fine with it.

Yukari was kind of interesting in the begining but I didn't feel like she added much later.

>>7566194
My interpretion of it is that Reiji probably was alive during the sex, Toko might've kileld him later, but since she wanted to act like Toko I find it odd that she would kill him (even though she had already gone completely insane at that point). My guess on why it's a bad end (pretty unlikely theory I guess) is that Reiji broke down after seeing Toko, and then the "real" Toko got taken, Reiji couldn't find her having lost his spirit and then Toko got an illusion outside the school and got hit by a truck.

True end was shit. I guess they wanted to have something like that as a TRUE end because of KnS2 but still...
Everything else was awesome.
I don't know what to think about this.

Also, anybody else thinks pic related will be bullshit? She actually looks alive, I mean, she's breathing, right? I'm ok with parthenogenesis, but I don't know if I'm ok with living severed heads.

>>7566530
Somehow I doubt that will be the case.

>>7566299
You have placed Toko lower than her rightful place of top of the top tier and thus your ranking is invalid.

>>7566530
(I'm assuming they'll continue from KnS True End, since it's the True End.) I could see why they would use that pic with Toko in part if KnS2 is about Reiji hunting down Shin going around and collecting parts in order to put Toko together again like he does in one of the endings, but otherwise that pic seems a bit odd of a choice. I personally would be so fucking happy if Toko was alive in KnS2, kinda doubting it though. ;_;

>>7566634
Sometimes, we just have to accept things the way they are and move on Anon.

Be strong, okay? I loved her too.

>>7566552
I am quite anxious to see how they pull this off as well. The way the game is structured, they couldn't even pull off a midquel. Nevertheless, I like Toko enough that I'd probably be forgiving of whatever method they use to shoehorn her into the next game somehow.

Seeing the doll parts in the promo image makes me wonder whether this game will continue from the talking torso end instead of the True one. Though where they're going to get cybernetic replacement limbs for her in mid-Showa-era is beyond me.

Dat Toko. Even after the game is over, she's so mysterious.

I also hope the final release will have a more imaginative title than Kara no Shojo 2

>>7566640
Me five.

I don't think I've ever really felt this depth of emotion for a game heroine before. I think I may kind of understand the feelings of those who indulge in the whole waifu thing now.

>>7566641
wait is that blood near "Reserved", on the snow, under the black cloth?
She's gonna die. Again.

>>7566664
Revive Toko, kill Toko. Repeat ad infintinum.
>>7566641
I was thinking the same thing regarding the doll parts, but who knows, kind of silly if there would suddenly be the technology to give her arms and legs back though.

>>7566664
(subject: any Innocent Grey game)
Q.: Is that blood?
A: What do you think?

That true end ;_;

Which end is Toko's end?

>>7566709
I Googled this a little bit for shits, and guess what: http://www.disaboom.com/amputations-information/the-history-of-prosthetics-artificial-limbs-past-and
-present

1950s: Electrically and pneumatically powered devices appear for general use.

I had no idea. But, so there's that, anyway.

fun fact: huge advancements were made in the prosthetic development field in response to the epidemic of thalidomide babies in the 1960s.

>>7566732
Huh, what do you know. However, looking more at the pic there's the black which could be the egg and the red could be blood, or it could be the red liquid mentioned to be in the black egg, then again it's not really a fantasy VN so it would be odd if Shin actually succeded in getting new parts for Toko and putting her together again, but it might mean something, or I'm just reading too much from the picture. (Probably the latter.)

>>7566712
Tomato juice.

>>7566892
That scene was pretty funny, I was all oh shit, and then, he throws his shoe.

So I guess people are really enjoying this.
Myself I couldn't care about any characters or DEEP so I don't have much motivation to go on.
>>7561014
Not that I wasn't expecting this, but fuck. The only character I somewhat liked.
No good ends in realu dealu, I guess.

>>7566896
I thought the humour was really bad in this.

Should I follow a walkthrough when playing this or should I just click on whatever I want to click?

>>7566941
Just go in blind for your first playthrough and try to reason things out yourself.

You'll definitely need a walkthrough if you plan to see all the endings though.

I'm following the walkthrough, but got kind of stuck in the investigation of the white room. I can't find this option:
　Between the books on top of the desk (picture postcard)
I'd appreciate help.

>>7567159
It's literally what it says. Between the two different stacks of books on top of the desk, there's a small area that'll get you the card. I think the area I clicked to get it was around the cover of the larger set of books.

>>7567159
There's two different sorts of books, some taller and some smaller, it's the taller ones you want to click.

So, did anyone else kind of flip the fuck out whenever they saw the title appear on the left side during those screen transitions?

>>7567234
You mean like this?

>>7567254
I didn't flip out, as some transitions don't involve looking through the eyes of the murderer killing people horribly, but if everything was dark and there was that music playing, I started to feel pretty sick. Well, never actually truly sick, but it's creepy as fuck. Some really nice writing there.

>>7567288
Like I said, whenever there was a transition with the title appearing in black on the left side of the screen, then it was transitioning to the killer's POV.

>>7566896
>>7566900
It's really funny if you played Cartagra before and find Kazuna's diary on the bookshelves instead of checking out Shugo. It's full of funny Cartagra references.

bump

I'm stuck in the investigation part in March 17, where the fuck is that notebook?
I clicked everywhere but nothing happened

>>7567999

>>7568008
Thank you and fuck these idiot mini games

>>7568015
Awwww are the games too hard for you little guy? don't worry you won;t have to think much anymore, big brother /jp/ is here to make the scary thinking time go away.

Trying to get the Ending CG Collection end on my second playthrough, but I get steered to Ending 2. What have I done wrong?

>>7566892
hahaha, good point sir. well played.

>>7568048
For starters, I believe you have to have

- found out about Mamiya Shinji
- found the picture postcard in the white room (?)
- heard about Toko's potential real father

You'll get the option to "Search for Toko", which leads to ending 2, or "Head to Kurashiki" if you've triggered this successfully.

>>7568158
Postcard isn't necessary

>>7565864
You mean the Mangagamer trial or the original Japanese trial (with the prequel scenario)?

The MG trial ends on day 13, when Touko sees Kara no Shoujo at the art museum.

As for the original trial, I'm playing it right now so I can tell you when I'm done, if you'd care to know. (I'd also be willing to summarize for those interested.)

>>7568172
Please do

This game is the REAL DEAL.
Much more memorable compare to Demonbane and inevitably put me back to MLA post depression.
Kazuna death in the bad end and Tojiko death really hit hard.
I also found it ironic that you get to fuck your fiancee's killer daughter.
Funny how that only the Cartagra characters get their happy end.

So, what do you think is baby's name? Something related to Cartagra?

>>7568255
It's obviously Toko

>>7568255
Probably Toko or Yukiho.

But didn't he say that her name would be related to Shugo and her wife? Toko has nothing to do with them.
I don't remember where Yukiho comes from?

>>7568302
His fiancee name.
Was it Yukiko? I dont really remember that well.

>>7568316
Yukiko, yes. Oh, well, we'll just have to wait for KnS2 for the answer.

>>7568347
MG should strike a deal with Innocent Grey to release KnS2 simultaneously together with the nip version.

I really loved this VN, I haven't been so absorbed in one in quite a while. Loved all the ends and how the game wasn't afraid to stick to its guns and didn't give us a the arbitrary happy end. Really drove the themes of the VN home, I'm real glad I read this.

Damn....I'm kinda sad that its over

Kara no Shojo trial, Prologue: The Psychological Test
Part I

(There are several CG in this trial that don't appear in the game itself, so I'll go ahead and post the tl;dr version so I can show you them all. I'll also spoilerimage them for your pleasure, though none are actual game spoilers)

This is a completely original scenario, spanning the period from January 14th to March 3rd before the game takes place.

Narration starts in the third person, following Yukari. She's at Ouba during a wroship service. Yukari and Tsuzuriko chat before Tsuzuriko gets told off by a teacher, then both listen to Orihime's speech about how they must lead pure and proper lives in this postwar era blah blah blah in the new term, then head off to class.

In the Fujigumi classroom, Kusaka comes and announces that although there are no classes that day, they're going to recieve a lecture from the head second-year teacher (a female teacher who doesn't appear in the game) about leading proper school lives.

The teacher snaps at Touko, who's looking out the window, and Touko answers her pretty bluntly, so the teacher orders her to stand. As soon as she does, Touko collapses, bringing Mizuhara running over to her. The teacher accuses her of faking, but Yukari, who's been watching the whole time and sees how pale Toko is, intervenes and offers to take her to the infirmary, since she's the class health officer. Mizuhara of course tries to go along, but the teacher won't let her.

Yukari is worried about Touko, but she says she's fine, just having a bout of anemia. She tell Yukari she can go back, but Yukari insists on accompanying her until Akazaki gets there. Nene comes and tells Touko to rest, and Yukari that she should just stay there with Touko for a while since the day's almost over anyway.

Kara no Shojo trial, Prologue: The Psychological Test
Part II

By the time the bell for the end of classes rings, Touko is looking a little better, so Yukari gets up to go. Mizuhara of course has come racing into the infirmary to Toko's side by this time. Touko tries to be calvalier and says it's just because she didn't have breakfast, which Nene chides her for. As Yukari is thinking about how Touko has a mysterious charm that she never noticed before, even though they're both in art club, Mizuhara basically shoos her away so she can have codependant alone time with Touko, so after Yukari heads to art club.

In the art room, Yukari finds Nishizono Yui (who is very bright and genki in the manner of Tsuzuriko without as many nonsequiters). They talk about their club activities - the art club didn't meet during the break, so the members were supposed to draw at home instead, but Yukari didn't have time to; she was busy at home during New Years because of her lazy brother who didn't do anything to help. She mentions that she's gotten used to it now that her parents have died, and Yui comments that she's in the same situation. Ayumu, who has the day off from practice, shows up to see Yui. We learn that she's (ahem) very popular with her seniors on the kendo team. Yui teasingly asks Ayumu to model for her in the nude, and Ayumu jokes that she's too expensive

Yukari laments that she didn't have any time to sketch any snails at least, and then starts geeking out about bugs to the bemusement of Yui and surprise of Ayumu.

Kara no Shojo trial, Prologue: The Psychological Test
Part III

Yui, who's not a fan of bugs, tries to shut her up. They agree that they'd like to sketch outside more once spring comes, prompting Ayumu to mention that she just say Touko sketching out in the schoolyard. Yukari asks if Mizuhara was with her, and when Ayumu doesn't know, Yukari starts wondering about her bring out there alone in the cold after her attack that morning. Kusaka comes by with a handout he forgot to give them in homeroom, and Yukari offers to take Touko's to her. (Kusaka doesn't talk to Yui or react to her presence at all in this scene btw.)

She grabs some chuukaman from Nakamuraya on the way to the detective agency. Finding him out and the office a mess as usual (he's basically been living there for a large part of the winter), she resignedly gets to work cleaning it up. Just as she finishes, Reiji arrives.

The scene switches to Reiji's POV, and Yukari chiding him for being such a slob. He kind of brushes her off, but thanks her for always being there for him. She rewards him with some of the chuukaman she bought, then asks him how work's going. He says it looks like he's about to close his current case, and when she worries about his safety, replies that he's fine; he mostly gets mundane job requests and missing cats and such, although the possibility of encountering danger on a case is definitely not zero. He heads home with Yukari for a change, not having had time to do so much since the year started, and Yukari cheerfully makes him carry his dirty laundry from the office home so she can wash it.

Kara no Shojo trial, Prologue: The Psychological Test
Part IV

Reiji thinks to himself about their home life without their parents, who died in a plane crash a few years ago. He has a bath and rereads a book about the Gallic Wars in his room until Yukari calls him for dinner. Reiji does some DEEP thinking after they eat about how murder and lies have always gone hand in hand, ever since the time of Cain and Abel etc. (We also learn, I think, that he and Yukari are living in relative luxury now because of the consolation money they got when their parents died.) Yukari comes in to say goodnight. Before he goes to sleep, he realizes that tomorrow is Sunday, so he can't go to the police station to get help on his case, but figures it doesn't matter since the case is as good as solved.

The next day at his office, Reiji thinks over his case, about a murder that occurred at a construction site. He muses that postwar Japan has become pretty dangerous, thought it's not all bad since it helps keep him in business.

Evening of the 18th. Reiji comes home to find Yukari worried about one of her senpai in the art club, who didn't return home that night. Reiji thinks it's just a standard teenage runaway and the police will work it out, but Yukari still seems upset over it, so Reiji offers to investigate it for her.

On the 19th, you can choose to go to Reiji's office, where he thinks about the factory murder case, Inokashira Park, where he sees what he thinks is a man throwing something into the pond (somehow related to the case; the park is near the shooting site), or Moon World, where he chats with Kyoko and she mentions that she's planning on taking on the daughter of an acquaintance as a new employee soon (you also learn that her husband, who I think it says served together with Reiji in the military, died seven years ago in a traffic accident, and that she took over running Moon World after him).

Kara no Shojo trial, Prologue: The Psychological Test
Part V

In the evening, Uozumi show up at Reiji's office with some files from the police department he wanted to see concerning the factory shooting case. When Uozumi wonders whether they'll actually help him catch his perp, Reiji says he doubts it; Uozumi demands to know why he had him bring them all the way over here, then, and Reiji is all "lol I forgot". They discuss the case for a while, and before he leaves, Uozumi asks Reiji if he'd mind taking on another case. He wants him to help investigating a phony religion that's been swindling its followers (probably the Koizumi Kei's dad ran), but Reiji declines and suggests he pawn it off on Takashiro instead; he's been looking to take on less dangerous cases like that now that he has a wife and a baby on the way.

Next, we get an angsty Mizuhara POV monologue about how she hates everything and everyone, but especially her mother, but because you-know-who is always by her side she can live on.

We now skip ahead to February 28th, back to third-person, where Uozumi has been called out to Inokashira Park early in the morning to investigate the body dumped there at the point-and-click crimscene (just a pair of arms and legs wrapped in black cloth, which must be Yui's). They estimate from the growth of the maggots that she's been dead for at least two weeks. He thinks that this came right as they solved the shooting case; the motive was money, just as he'd thought, etc., and thinks about bringing Reiji in on this one too.

Uozumi stops at Moon World on the way back, and is kind of hilariously tongue-tied around Kyoko as she tries to make conversation.

Kara no Shojo trial, Prologue: The Psychological Test
Part VI

POV scene of the murderer going to work on a black-haired girl with glasses (Koizumi Kei) and inserting the black egg into her body.

Final scene takes place on March 2nd, where Uozumi discovers the second body in Tama Cemetary. Then we end with a trailer for the game, with a final frame of the title on black with Touko saying "Kara no Shoujo".

Thanks for the summaries, anon.

The thread did hit the bump limit though, so not many will see it.
