This is a girl whose brain pretty much completely shut down and went into GOOD LITTLE WIFE mode afterward, and then snapped and killed a country's worth of people. I'm going to say yes.
I know. Physically it's somewhat unlikely, but since I'm pretty sure she's suffering from some sort of... immune system disease? (am I pulling that out of my ass?) Something like that, if the wound was cauterized quickly and no infection spread I think she'd be all right. Physically.
And here we are, guys. I...just...augh. AUGH. *Hyun-ae, bby, please let me hug you. Although sometime we need to have a nice and polite talk about your morality...just let me hug you. ;_;
I guess it depends. I can imagine that she may have gotten depressed after her tongue was cut out, and depression can often make you feel sicker than you actually are. It's hard to tell if that was the case, though. The adrenalin (?) rush that comes with anger may have given her the energy to carry out her plan, but once she stopped being angry she probably would have felt worse. I guess it depends on how difficult it was to enact her plan--it was letting the atmosphere out of the spaceship, wasn't it? That may not have been very hard to do, seeing as how she had something of a working knowledge of computers, and overriding *Mute and pushing a few buttons may not have taken much out of her. It's all a guess, though. EDIT: The knife was hot, so I imagine the wound got cauterized. Sorry, I misunderstood the question. >_< Cannot brain today, thinker is not working. She hasn't let us down, by the way.
No, this was as depressing as I imagined it would be. No problem, honey. Just promise to never turn off the life support for a ship ever again. That promise just became so much more important. Understandable, really, but seriously I'm gonna need that promise in writing. You're welcome. You can stop now. I go to look for more logs, and *Hyun-ae stops me. I have a feeling I know what it is, but I can't bring myself to be happy about it. Whelp. What did you want to talk about? Yeeeesssss? I think we've gone through every cliche by this point. Annnnnd there it is.
Tsun-ae. Though to be fair, her tsun is pretty well earned. I don't think that we're ready for this relationship though, to be honest.
It's been like a day. I'm the first person you've spoken to in over 600 years and I'm like the exact opposite (as far as you know) of everyone you'd known before who made your life miserable. I understand. And I'm sickened. Yes. It's been a day. Even Disney isn't that-no wait, Disney totally is that bad. It's because you're horribly damaged and I'm so sorry. I may not like what you did, but I don't hate you. Hate is an intensely personal feeling, and I don't know you well enough to feel that strongly. But, come to my bosom you poor thing. You may have noticed, I'm not much of a romantic. I've been mostly mute and distracted by my job. You have low standards. ...come to my bosom. Yes. Yes it is, because it's been a day. You could have asked. I guess it's a good sign you didn't really see that as important. ...actually, I think the "unmarried" part would be something very important to confirm in this case. Are you actually going to ask? That's...close enough, I guess. The things we do to romance everything. I feel like such a fraud. All you need is love, love, love is all you need. Since when? It's been a day. Marriage? I, guh. Why are you already talking marriage? Especially seeing as you're physically incapable of performing most of the "wifely duties" you're familiar with. Yes. Yes. Take it slow. Get to know eachother. Be friends. Heal from a life of abuse and loneliness. Then consider romance. Is there a word for this? It's not Stockholme Syndrome or the Florence Nightengale thing...
On the outside. I'm one of those people who's like "You can't fall in love in a day, good relationships are built on mutual trust and friendship and time!" But deep inside I'm like "I DON'T CARE HYUN-AE I LOVE YOU MORE THAN ANYTHING COME LET ME LOVE YOU AND CRADLE YOU FOREVER." Also, I think you'll like *Mute's route.
Are you beginning to see why this is a terrible idea? So either way, one of us is a cradle robber. Wonderful. It was going to be River Tam and it would have been glorious. This one is valid. Good on you for recognizing something healthy. Just wait until I can actually talk back. Those aren't completely invalid, I'll say that. But this is still moving way too fast game. ;A; Oh, fuck you, now you're actually hitting me with feels. I can't take the guilt. Are you going to crush me with more feels? Right. Because it would be kind of hard to start a romance or a friendship if I left you behind on a dying ship. A few days? Goddamn, how much data am I getting? It takes a couple of minutes to download most things today, and this is supposed to be the future where we have far more advanced technology. ...are you setting the ship to blow up after we leave? You are, aren't you. That's why you said days. You need the time to get everything in place. Shocked that I caught onto your plan? It's okay, I understand. I don't think there's anything to salvage, so we can blow it all up for cathartic purposes. . . . Nope. NOPE. NOPE NOPE NOPE. GAME. WHAT ARE YOU DOING GAME. Putting that entirely horrifying comment out of mind (before I change mine). Four days. That is a LOT of data. I must have missed a lot. ANNNNND ROLL CREDITS. This certainly was an interesting game, and an interesting experience. Thank you all for reading, commenting, and liking! I couldn't have kept going without you all<3 Seriously, what the hell is my job? And that's a wrap. See you next time, Space Cowboy.
Thank you, Jaakusan. This has been interesting to say the least. Also, can I love you forever for referencing Cowboy Bebop?
Out of curiosity, would anybody like to see a very short LP of the Harem Route? Because it is short, hilarious, and I'd be up for doing another mini-LP after Lost Silver. And thanks for the LP, Jaakusan. It's been a good ride :)
It's only one of my most favorite series in the whole world. Though I'm hurting a little from bastardizing the line.
If you like Blue Submarine No. 6 too I swear we're going to have to run away together. There is no other option. And I can always comfort you.
Someone should stream that. That was an...interesting ride. I'm still curious about a few things such as what if we said she let us down what happened while Hyun-ae was asleep, why/how did the Empress die (am I the only one who suspects murder?), and how exactly did Hyun-ae become an A.I. (That wasn't answered, right?) I'm not sure how I feel about this ending...such as letting a somewhat insane A.I. off of a dying ship. Even if the MC and Hyun-ae manage some sort of Happily Ever After™, how is Hyun-ae going to react when MC dies?
I remember liking the fish people. Look at that cutie. I should rewatch that, if I can find it. They never explained how she became an A.I. aaaaaaggggghhhhh. And you're right, her death does seem mighty suspicious. Theoretically there's going to be a sequel? Expansion? Something that will explain more, like what happened to reset the computers and the society. If A.I. *Hyun-ae is really as real as she was when she wasn't an A.I., then she has just as much a chance as anyone else would to recover mentally from her ordeal and stabilize. Then again, she als has just as much chance of going completely apeshit, infecting whatever computer system she ends up on in the future and killing more people so...yeah. This "romantic" ending gives me all kinds of skeevy feelings, despite being a happy ending for *Hyun-ae personally.
It's actually explained quite thoroughly. If anybody really wants to know I can post it here in a spoiler.
Oooh thanks Jacquelle. Sure, go ahead and put it in spoilers. If anybody wants to know without playing, it'll be there, and everybody else can play. :D
Do the Harem Route. Also, MAN I LOVE THIS GAME except Hyun-ae being too forward but well, she only had this chance to say it, since he was going away forever back to the Earth so...
I feel a little bit more sympathetic to Hyun-ae. But just a little bit. I'd have left her on the ship XD Looking foward to Mute route now :)
That's right. POLL TIME: How many people actually want me to do *Mute's route? Or should I leave that to someone else?
I wouldn't mind doing it, since you need to be on her path to do the harem route anyway. But I also wouldn't mind you doing it either! Also, Analogue is on sale on Steam for $2.49 today!
I wanna start on the Analogue LP soon, so I'd like to now whether I should take screenshots of all of *Mute's route or head right to the Harem route :D
Well, I was planning on showing both the Harem ending and the *Mute ending in that case. That's what time machines/save reloads are for
