Let's Play Doppelganger: Dawn of the Inverted Soul - I hear it stomps on our feelings

Awww boo.

Ah well. The less I'm able to sleep, the more Broken Forum-ing I can get in.
and the more I can be annoyed because Himochi isn't me, it's a nickname for someone else, but I'm going off topic, ignore this

Have fun with game ovo/

Currently tied 2 to 2 for the decision point. Whatever is voted for next win, because I refuse to let democracy fail me twice *dramatic pose*

Very well, then!

Yeah...

GUYS WE'RE GOING ON A LIMO CAR RIDE. ... When I return from work XD *runs off*

Gah! I just typed something out but my browser went all wonky and refreshed everything. *slams keyboard*

Well that didn't take long to get to the next decision point unlike last time anyway, let's continue on!


Very well then indeed~



AH D:! Lucia has turned into an otome protagonist suddenly.


And this is a horror VN, get a hold of yourself, girl.

So anyway, we go to bed, because it is apparently a big day for us tomorrow.


And apparently we fail greatly at it.

"Why do I feel like someone is watching me? I feel like something bad is going to happen..."
"Something's just not right."

Lucia has remembered that she is not an otome protagonist! I'm so proud of her :D.. wait....


That's probably not good.

"I feel like someone's in my room, calling for me..."


OH SHIT. Aren't you dead?


Yes I know, strange boys in your room in the middle of the night is not good unless you're Bella but what you should really be focusing on is that he's dead.

What, you weren't there for that part of the narration? D< No excuses young lady!

....>_>


Is this the thing that ate you? Cause then the title of this game would make a lot of sense... and I don't like it one bit @n@




Lucia, this is no time to act realistically to this situation D:



Lucia continues to act realistically (WHY LUCIA WHY) and commands him to get out of her room.




I'm trying Rico, I'm trying!



GAH. HE IS DEAD. He's a ghost D: Is Clifford a ghost too then? Since only a few people see him?


Mom ;_;

A very confused, realistic, Lucia mentions that a boy just ran out of her room.




Mom! Don't encourage this realistic thinking behavior! We are so gonna die D:

Mom, I'm totally blaming you for this.


And you, Lucia, stop rebelling and trying to be an otome protagonist.

Anyway, Lucia gets to bed and apparently there are no more shenanigans for the next scene is the next day.


Yay~ Our lime is here!


Lee is Mom-Approved apparently.


He refuses politely and Lucia is all 'let's bounce'.


Lucia whines obligatory-ly at her mother for such a statement.





...because it's not like someone had just gotten horribly mangled at our school or anything >_>


Lucia tries to commiserate about this fact, but Lee just brushes it off. ):


AH IT'S A GHOST ISN'T IT?


Oh wait, it's just Yuri... unless he's a ghost as well as Yuri, but that would be quite the plot twist.

Lucia freaks out a bit when Yuri makes eye contact, and is worried that he'll talk to her or something (probably afraid of being given ANOTHER letter to deliver).



We don't reply.


Huh, I wonder if he talks to us if Lee didn't pick us u-WAIT A MINUTE WE'RE WALKING. I feel so let down by this game ;_; LEE WHY HAVE YOU NOT DRIVEN US PLACES? LEE WHAT USE ARE YOU? I only like you for your imagined limo that doesn't exist. ;_;


*breathes*


I'm not talking to you right now, Lee, you have ruined all my dreams ;_;





So then we continue to walk to the cafe that Blake told us to go to (that I've already forgotten the name of).

(It should be known from about this point forward I have never played, so anything I say is pure speculation and not spoiler. And don't tell me if I'm right about something... though you're allowed to mess with me, because I'm masochistic, anyway, back to our regularly scheduled program~)


It wouldn't be so surprising if he didn't show up, honestly.


*cue dramatic music*


You don't have blonde hair, where did you come from :/

Lucia is also very surprised to see that Blake actually came and he seems miffed by this. Lee greets him in his polite sensibly car-less Lee way.


*bursts out into laughter* I will never stop laughing at this.




What I hear in my mind: Yes, yes, whatever you peasants say *flips hair dramatically*

So we decide to go find a place to sit down.


Clifford? I bet it's Clifford, our favourite non big red dog.


I was right! 20 points to Ravenclaw.



He's totally a ghost isn't it? No one else can see him, right?


Wait, what kind of reaction is that? I AM SUSPICIOUS OF YOU, LEE.




Game used Confusion on Lucia, it was super effective.

Lee gives a stuttering reply to the negative. He says no one's there.

Does he now.. I'm watching you buster, I sense lies here D<


AH D:! That's not just weird, that's just darn creepy. Oh god, Clifford that smile is going to give me nightmares ;_;


HE KNOWS WHO YOU ARE LEE, STOP LYING TO US D<


Blake, however, has no idea what the hell is going on.

Lee stutters about whether or not Blake he's sure that they should sit there.


...OH I WONDER.

Blake is all, you guys are weird yo :/ and goes over to sit... right by Clifford of course.


I had believed you, Sir Creepalot, but Lucia has this "reacting realistically" problem that I am currently trying to correct.



Clifford take me with you, these three are just going to do schoolwork ): I bet it's going to be boring.



Now you're just trying to creep us out on purpose >:

Lucia comments on how this situation seems really familiar.



It's cause you drank the damn Kool-Aid that I told you no to D<

Of course, we are only just going through an existential crisis, no biggie.

Lucia gets herself back into what I'm sure is a riveting discussion on essay writing.







Guys... they are arguing about what to write the essay on.. in a horror game... they are all so oblivious.


Wait, what, you're asking me? Gahhhh I don wannaaaa.



Oh look DECISION POINT about an essay topic... in a horror game...

*as;dlfkajsf*

ANYWAY!

Shall we agree with Lee and just copy everyone else, do an experiment, and then write a scientific essay?
OR shall we agree with Blake and be different by going the easier route of researching something historical and writing about that.
OR shall we stay neutral and not get between boys and their uh.. essays.

STAY NEUTRAL
F-For the love of god, please, please...! I don't want... I don't want... I don't want... I don't want...

Agree with Lee. I didn't read the spoilers and now I'm going to play this.

EDIT: If I chose to not involve Blake, does he goes to the bar anyway? Because I don't like him I'd rather be alone with Lee, so I can find out what the hell is going on with Clifford.

Let's agree with Lee. I mean, he is an honor student and the student council president. So I think it'd be a safer bet to trust his opinion rather than Blair's...uh, I mean Blake's.

I guess I'll be the team Lee cheerleader over here. *shakes pom poms* Go Lee! Go Lee! Gooooooo Lee!

Well, Lee looks fine, has glasses and is a honor student and stuff.
So yeah, I'm going for him now and for Yuri after. The other ones can die for all I care right now.

Thank you!

So, I'm playing more, because that's the right thing to do while having lunch...

No problem, and enjoy the game.

I can't remember if we're more likely to get shanked if we Make Blake Sad or if we Don't Win This Thing. But since it's a horror game, I think we should--

--wait, wait. If there's anything Persona 3 and 4 taught me, it's that when horrific murderous things are going on all around me, it is totally the time to focus on excelling in school and supporting the ambitions of friends. Let's support Lee! Blake's an asshole anyway.

AGREE WITH LEE. I love labs and scientific experiments. I like history too, but I prefer experimenting. Make a bomb, Lucia. Make it go BOOM.

(Not officially closing the "polls" yet btw)

So far we have:
Neutral: ||
Lee: |||||
Blake: 0

....something tells me we may be ending up on Lee's path *laughs* but man I hate writing scientific papers ~_~ In Persona 4 at least you never had to write an essay only beautiful stat boosting.

Though of course when you put it that way....

aaaaaaaAAAAAAAAAAAA啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊

i'll go for neutral anyway \ovo/

AGREE WITH LEE!
It rhymes hehe

I had a feeling this would happen. I have to admit I am most wary of Lee's route after all your wailing, Donmai. I TAKE YOUR RAMBLINGS SERIOUS! Lee is just so popular >:

Oh come on, WHAT IS SO BAD ABOUT IT????? Are you just too much in love with one of the characters that end up dying in that route? (no, I haven't finished any routes. My computers craps a brick every time I try to play)

Creator made a guide. It's here (SPOILERS AHOY) http://lemmasoft.renai.us/forums/download/file.php?id=17302

All right, so obviously, Agreeing with Lee wins. Thus! I shall continue playing and see what happens next. I'm sure there will be something huddle-worthy(unless we get interrupted by another decision point soon) in someway.

So excited~~~

*agrees*



Translation: Ha! You thought I would listen to the opinions of peasants? Ohohoho~



Lee, you're a bit of a pushover, you know that? FIGHT FOR YOUR ESSAY, LEE, FIGHT!

We decide to our essay on WWII and then apparently discuss it for hours. hourrrrsssss


Yay!! We're done!


....this feels so out of character for the Lucia we have come to know and I was a bit disturbed XD


So is Lee


Oh you're just attempting to breach the subject about YOU LYING.


We did not take the drugs today >:


We describe Clifford to Lee.


You did see him too, didn't you D<??????




That's actually kind of hard to do, especially with Rico hanging around.


Lucia finally asks the question I've been asking for the last fifty screenshots or so.



@n@.....

Dem Boobs.

What happened to Pushover!Lee?


;_; It's too late, I couldn't stop her from drinking the kool-aid, Lee!!



Lee, are you a secret agent man?

We demand to have things explained to us more again, and Lee cryptically says it's related to all the weird incidents.


*facepalm* Cause nothing weird at all has happened lately....


He is very determined, but I feel like it will all be for naught ;_; I mean this is a horror game.



Fatbird?




Lee let's it go after that and we arrive at Lucia's house.



And engaging in awkward I will save you~~~ conversations.


Aaand, Pushover!Lee returns.



Then he leaves.

NOOO I'VE BEEN SO GOOD AND TRYING NOT TO SAY ANYTHING ABOUT THAT... ...TT_TT Lucia why does cropping your head make such things so obvious ;_;

IT'S MY LOVABLE LITTLE BROTHER. <3 Except, hey, you're not even going to say hi before gossiping around D<?

Anyway, Lucia is like "what?" because she doesn't believe in weird incidents.


Friends is a bit of a misnomer in this case... and wait, what boyfriend?


WAIT, WHAT? Hold on, hold on. You mean this entire time we knew Rico was dating Anastasia and didn't feel the need to mention it in our head so that well I could know such facts.

Lucia, I thought you loved me! ;_;






And then someone knocks at the door, and I must admit I'm wary after hearing Lee tell us not to open doors for strangers.






Oh shit.
