#HetaOni

i cant. Stop thinking about hetaoni. its classic literature. i just sit in the dark and think about hetaoni italy for hours at a time.

it's shown in veneziano's scenes in vol 1 that his struggles are:

1) that he doesnt have Any friends (that don't benefit from/use him in some way); he hates being alone

2) that he is a massive coward (probably because he's been kicked around so much) and is VERY easily sent into hysterics

3) that he is a terrible liar and could not be less suited to combat/espionage/military management. this is stated outright (credit hetarchive)

ok. do you understand this character? now put him in a situation where he is forced to

be alone all the time. because . yknow. his friends keep dying in the timeloop. also his friends don't remember that they ever became his friends because, again, they keep dying in the timeloop

2. keep a cool head IN SPITE OF everyone else panicking, face a giant horrific monster time and time again, and deal with things that he is, to speak frankly, used to delegating to other people.

3. LIE. lie to his friends, lie to himself. lie about what he does and doesn't know. lie not just in what he says, but in how he acts. he also has to try and coordinate not his own actions, but the others' actions too, and keep them "on script" (idk if you know this but the nations are a bunch of hotheaded and arrogant people, and they're not really eager to be "directed" by their Actual Enemy, esp one they think so little of as italy, so this is a miserably difficult task)

literally NO ONE could be less qualified for the role of ryuuzu than italy. and a huge portion of the (delicious) tragedy of hetaoni is that the expectation of "maybe it will help italy mature!! y'know, character development through horrific trauma!!" is never realized. he HASN'T evolved into a suave, detached time-loop master. he's tired and frustrated and in grief and so so confused and completely and utterly hopeless... AND HE'S NOT EVEN GOOD AT TIME-LOOPING. HE CONSTANTLY MAKES MISTAKES AND GETS PEOPLE KILLED.

the reason it works is BECAUSE italy is in the wrong genre here. when you think "timeloop protag" you think of a certain jaded, cool character. italy is neither of these things. he's hysterical and the furthest thing from collected. he doesn't have answers. he doesn't have a concrete plan. he barely knows how to tie his shoes.

it's so delicious. veneziano's flaws and weaknesses come into play as running jokes in the original series, but in this kind of situation they leave him directly to blame for so much of the events of hetaoni -- and he knows this -- and it's such a sick twist. i love it !!

HetaGame List:

Unfinished vs Complete

There aren't many lists or wikis that clearly list the games' statuses. Most say "ongoing" even if they're discontinued, and I can't easily find the last update.

So I did some digging to try and figure out which games were complete, discontinued/abandoned, or ongoing (meaning the creator is active). I also tried to figure out which were unplayable.

However, I couldn't figure out all of them, so if I made a mistake or you have information on one that I don't, please let me know!

LOOP #???? // LOOP #2

[italyveneziano]

Obsessed with what America and England have going on in HetaOni. America's like "I keep having to watch my dad die from overusing his magic in past timelines and not knowing how to stop it is killing me inside but I'm not going to talk to him about it" and England's like "I can't seem to hold a conversation with my son without insulting him but I won't hesitate to use my dying breath to ensure I can protect him from beyond the grave"

i'm truly heading back to my 2014.

[d4rk-x-w0lf-17]

forced to reminisce about hetaoni and how obsessed i was back in like 2012-2013

the concept is so novel cuz it takes what is essentially a fairly normal horror game with bland, one note characters but takes an insanely popular (at the time) series and slaps them in with a fresh coat of paint, even adding new elements and features

the idea of time travel, time loops and having immortality being ripped from you is such an interesting idea cuz it adds so many possibilities, problems, personal challenges and forces characters together that have rarely interacted both in history and just in the show. then you also have characters that are on the sidelines that have to find ways to help the 10 main characters that are stuck with minimal knowledge of what is ACTUALLY going on

(from what i remember, only italy and england were the ones aware of the time loops)

imagine being forced to witness your friends and loved ones dying over and over and OVER and you are absolutely powerless to do anything except reset everything and just hope for a better outcome; even at one point watching the point in time where you find out that you were the one who doomed everyone from the start but you can't intervene
