Title screen for Fantasy Euthanasia, a fantasy otome visual novel game.
Demo coming soon! Follow the progress of the game here.
Hi all! Me and the artist for Mica: Apoptosis are working on a fantasy otome visual novel. An otome game is a romance game where you play as a female protagonist. There are both male and female love interests. Currently we are 40,000 words in and almost done with the demo. If you’re interested, give this sparse blog a follow. Thanks!

Really enjoyed Angels of Death
Ray and Zack’s relationship practically carried the game. They’re such cuties.
There’re still a bunch of things that aren’t explained though, and I just can’t seem to understand why the game kinda just left them out… (spoilers)
* What is the purpose of the “game”? Is it to see whether Ray is suitable to be floor B1′s guardian? If everyone who’s supposed to become one of the angels has to go through the floors, then how come Zack says he’s never really met the other killers?
* If it’s just to see whether Ray is suited to be B1′s guardian, then how come all the traps are there on B1 already? They look like very Ray-like traps so she must’ve set them herself.
* When did Ray start becoming obsessed with the idea of God? Her past never showed it. Danny mentioned something about her reading the Bible after she came to B1, but we don’t really know any of that. Since wanting to die and repent is a large part of Ray’s motivation and that was inspired by the Bible, it’s just strange that we never seem to understand where she started reading it.
* What’s the purpose of Eddie and Cathy? They just seem to be filler.
* What’s with the whole Ray being a witch that corrupts people thing in Gray’s arc, and how come everyone’s so enamored with her? I really expected Eddie and Cathy to be part of Rachel’s backstory and it seemed strange they just never got brought up again.
* What is the purpose of the Angels of Death anyway? What is Gray’s motivation for putting them all in one building? I thought it was going to be some abstract symbolic fantasy thing like many horror games, but it turns out they’re really all just killers in an actual building that the police just never notice for some reason.
Maybe I’m missing something out here but I really want to understand this better! I really really enjoyed this game, and Ray and Zack are the best, it’s just bugging me that the main premise of the game (girl being trapped in building with killers) was never properly explained.
I’ll do my best to answer all your questions! If you have any more after this, please don’t hesitate to say so!
So Gray explained to Zack that he disliked how people would use the name of God for their own selfish agendas, and was curious as to how it would feel to be in God’s shoes whenever this happened as a result. So he set up the building, the games, and invited random serial killers he comes across to act as his “angels” in a very, very twisted sort of social experiment of his that he keeps to the utmost secret along with Danny. The entire purpose of the building’s game was for this, first and foremost.
All the floor guardians were never sacrifices to begin with, but they WERE allowed to go through other floors and perhaps even leave the building if they wanted to between each game judging from how Danny goes around as he pleases. Zack just flat-out didn’t wanna talk to anyone because he disliked how twisted and infuriating they all were to him.
Danny invited Ray to be B1′s floor guardian before the game but after everything was already set up, and Gray begrudgingly conceded. From there, she spent time doing just that - with evidence with the “dolls” in her basement where the music box is. It looked like the only person that Ray probably ever talked to on her time as a floor guardian was Danny considering how Cathy/Eddie/Zack didn’t recognize her as a fellow serial killer. Which is why we don’t really get much backstory to Eddie or Cathy in the game itself, so look forward to the manga for that sweet, sweet backstory!
Ray always wanted a perfect world where she’s loved and wanted, and she could do just that once she “fixes” someone up because she can make them however she’d like in her eyes. But because the bible pretty much shunned everything about her, she despaired from how unwanted she actually was. I guess she wanted God’s approval and such, and it just devolved into obsession. It was never really explained how she became a sacrifice with missing memories or where the bible even came from, but I personally suspect it’s Gray’s doing considering how he disapproved of her from the start but never really gotten to judge her character. But!! Who knows!
Gray calls her a witch because of how she hides behind an innocent face to mask how ruthlessly self-motivated she is and how she tends to use or throw away people for her own gain. He probably wanted to find the genuine kindness in her due to how incredibly concerned she was for Zack’s well-being and see how she came to that conclusion but… the whole “Zack is my God!” thing threw a wrench in his plans. Everyone being so enamored over her… well, it’s really not Ray’s fault. Cathy just likes to punish sinners, Eddie just had a kiddie-crush on her (as twisted as it was), and Danny just really loved her eyes because of how extremely similar they were to his own mother’s eyes.
Aaaaand I think I covered all the bullets? Please feel free to tell me if I missed anything.
Thanks for the answers! They help a lot. I guess the main thing I want to know though is how Rachel (and other victims) became a sacrifice in the first place, because I don't think it was ever explained, and it's pointless to have a 'social experiment' if the point of it is never explained.

ndrv3 spoilers for first chapter
Something I’m just a little grumpy about from a character writing standpoint.
But she didn’t die FOR Saihara specifically though that’s the difference
I don’t think that’s really a difference :/ Sayaka didn’t die for Naegi, Nanami didn’t (specifically) die for Hinata, Chisa certainly did not die for Munakata etc. but it doesn’t change the fact that these female heroines were all used for the latter’s manpain and motivation. It’s the epitome of being Stuffed in a Fridge, which is all too common a trope in the past, and fiction should’ve moved on by now from using female characters as plot devices for male motivation. It’s not fair for either gender.

“Going through my grandfather’s belongings, we found a receipt for a semester of college. He paid $407.50 for tuition, room and board, and an “athletic fee” at Gettysburg College. Today, tuition at Gettysburg costs over $47,000 per year…not including accommodations.” posted by reddit user harshcougar
Currency inflation. 410$ was worth more back then than it was today. But yes goods and services are being unfairly priced.
Inflation in ~1940 is around $16. So at the very most, that would’ve been around $4000-$5000 in today’s currency.

Just remember. There is no such thing as a fake geek girl. There are only fake geek boys. Science fiction was invented by a woman.
Specifically a teenage girl. You know, someone who would be a part of the demographic that some of these boys are violently rejecting.

Isaac Asimov.

yo mary shelley wrote frankenstein in 1818 and isaac asimov was born in 1920 so you kinda get my point
divinedorothy
If you want to push it back even further Margaret Cavendish, the duchess of Newcastle (1623-1673) wrote The Blazing World in 1666, about a young woman who discovers a Utopian world that can only be accessed via the North Pole - oft credited as one of the first scifi novels
Women have always been at the forefront of literature, the first novel (what we would consider a novel in modern terms) was written by a woman (Lady Muraskai’s the Tale of Genji in the early 1000s) take your snide “Isaac Asimov” reblogs and stick it
even in terms of male scifi authors, asimov was predated by Jules Verne, HG Wells, George Orwell, you could have even cited Poe or Jonathan Swift has a case but Asimov?
PbbBFFTTBBBTBTTBBTBTTT so desperate to discredit the idea of Mary Shelly as the mother of modern science fiction you didn’t even do a frickin google search For Shame
validcriticism
And if you want to go back even further, the first named, identified author in history was Enheduanna of Akkad, a Sumerian high priestess.
Kinda funny, considering this Isaac Asimov quote on the subject:
Mary Shelley was the first to make use of a new finding of science which she advanced further to a logical extreme, and it is that which makes Frankenstein the first true science fiction story.
Even Isaac Asimov ain’t having none of your shit, not even posthumously.

You know what else was invented by women? Masked vigilantes, the precursor to the modern superhero. Baroness Emma Orczy wrote The Scarlet Pimpernel in 1905. The character would later inspire better known masked vigilantes such as Zorro and Batman.
Stick that in your international pipe and smoke it
I have literally been telling people this for over a year.
the first extended prose piece - ie a novel, was not, as many male scholars will shout, Don Quixote (1605) but The Tale of Genji (1008) written by a woman
The first autobiography ever written in English is also attributed to a woman, The Book of Margery Kempe (1430s).
The day may come when I find this post and do not reblog it, but it is not this day.
