Wait do you know of aitsf?

Hi @shoma-enda! Thank you so much for the ask!

So I don’t know exactly what this is so I did a little digging around on google and it looks like a visual novel or a choice based game on Steam? Is that right?

It looks an awful lot like Dramatical Murder which I always was a fan of observing from a far lol I thought that the art was cool and that the characters were made well. (Plus that plot wasn’t bad if you get my drift 😉)

I will be telling my friend about this series however as this seems right up her alley she is into all the detective stuff!!

Is there something about aitsf that you would like me to write?? I don’t normally do subjects I don’t know but if you dm me with a ship you like or a character and a scenario and help me to understand it then I might be able to make something work for you.

This is so real because I feel like Renju as the same case

They're both very negligent of Mizuki, Shoko just being violent on top of that

But they're both fucked up parents

I don't like Renju, as much as I dont like Shoko

Yet I see so many people liking him, it rubs me the wrong way

I know there's nuance to all of that, but I can't bring myself to like Renju, at all, just like Shoko

They still are interesting characters on their own though

I don't blame anyone liking either of them btw, it's just.. weird, to me, that's all

I feel the same way as op tbh

🔥Shoko Nadami

you know i was going to respond to this saying something like "a rare case of a female character being hated not because 'you all say you want evil women until you get one' but i still think she's a good character in the story and should be viewed that way" and then i realised i have very little equivalent to base my perception of that on. cause i was thinking about en-- oh my god wait people make posts defending manfred von karma don't they. i just remembered the posts about the guy who kins him. --- AND WILLIAM AFTON. god. ignore all that.

hot take: You all say you want evil women until you get one.

Aitsf 3 thoughts (AND SPOILERS FOR aistf 1 and 2)

So according to the official website, AISTF 3: takes place after the cyclops killings are resolved…

And Amane shows up in the trailer, it’s safe to assume that AITSF 3 is between 1 and 2

So I have a couple of questions

First, which timeline are we following here? I know the obvious answer is post true ending, but resolved is such a vague term. After all, in the og game the case is technically resolved when you off so Sejima (but this after Iris dies). So who’s to say that this isn’t an alt timeline not presented in the og game where Iris survives?

And if I wanted to get really angsty the website says killings as in plural…what if this alt timeline is one where shoko, Renju and Mizuki do not make it (after all “Renju” was waiting for Mizuki to come out of hiding of the merry go round most likely to off her, what if he succeeded in this timeline) hence why Mizuki is not in the trailer (considering Iris is her friend too, and Mizuki seems to be beloved in the fanbase, it’s odd she’s not shown)

Secondly,

I already established that this takes place between 1 and 2. But the problem with that is continuity. Considering Iris is out in space and stuck playing a life or death game, there is no way in hell she would not bring that up at a later point.

But at the same time, if I remember correctly Iris barely appears in Aitsf 3. She does show up, but she’s not the main focus during the game. So maybe the opportunity never comes up. But that’s the boring answer. I want to have FUN with my tinfoil hat ideas dammit.

So here’s come options that spike chunsoft could do to tie the games together (assuming that they want to) first option is the easiest and the most likely one

1. During a wink psync on Iris (and I think it’s done by Mizuki in aitsf 2) she’s singing a song about cucumbers and most players would say oh it’s just Iris being silly, but could you imagine how funny it would be for her to have heard that song from someone during this adventure and years down the line it just gets stuck in her head. Hence an easy tie in.

2. Add dialog to aitsf 2 if the game detects you have played though aitsf 3 (and have tokiko mention something about the game being both the past (in the timeline present in the games) and future (the order in which we receive the games) it would really tie in the meta aspect. Granted I don’t know how easy this would be to do, but I know for a fact that in the famicom detective club series for the switch that if you have played at least one of the games, any fdc you play after that will ask if you want to use the same name you used in the first game.

3. The coffin that says psync me acts similar to Solaris (the flame of hope in Sonic 06 that if it Is blown out, it makes the entire game seem as if it never happened) and the game is never canon hence why it is never brought up. That the second kaname psyncs with it the game ends. And it resets everything.

But what if it becomes a gameplay mechanic?

I’m fairly certain we do psync with the coffin at the same point (in the trailer we see date starting a sommnium and there is not another person in the other chair. What if the coffin has a data chip or something smaller that can be psycned with hence why there is nothing in the chair) (its also just a likely that the scene shown that there is supposed to be a person there but they were removed to avoid spoilers…)

Like at the end of the route (assuming this game has multiple routes) something goes horribly wrong and up to that point you haven’t synced with the coffin for whatever reason. And date does it for the first time thinking it could be a Hail Mary this could fix everything (remember this is the same date who believe in one route of the first game that doing a sommnium with Iris Would allow him to jump into parallel worlds and keep Iris alive).

But instead he wakes up the day that everything went to shit and only he remembers it. (Again in the first game he seems to have some knowledge of alternate timelines but he never really uses it to its advantage and it’s presented more of as a nod to the player) and it starts a loop that makes him more and more unhinged and he starts losing sleep. Hence why the game is called;

No sleep for kaname date.

Also it’s really funny that we now have a full game based on the arg that lead up the second game. If you know you know.

Will we get an arg leading up the release of the game? I hope so…
