#logic route

[turnipiku]

not the yttd chapter 2 endings being logic, emotion, and the lesbian one

[beedlex]

in the way

[maryfailstowrite]

I have to confess that my first route when playing YTTD was the logic route, NOT because I wanted to vote for Kanna or cared about Sou in any way shape or form, but because I thought that if I made the wrong decision I’d get a game over. So my dumb ass just went to the playthrough I was going to for help when solving puzzles and did what they did. I was DEVASTATED by Kanna dying, and then I went on with the game and it asked me who died and I was like “wait, you could CHOOSE?!?!?” so yeah. I’m stupid.

Ok wait no listen this is my prediction for 3-2 logic route if the cast doesn’t escape and there’s a third main game

Sage Sara

Keymaster Shin

Commoner Gin

Sacrifice Keiji

I NEED Keiji to be the sacrifice or for him to get voted out. And I really need Shin to be keymaster. It would go crazy you have to understand. Sara trying to convince everyone Shin is the keymaster, maybe Shin trying to get everyone to think he isn’t… Keiji being odd and staying quiet because, well. The sacrifice gets two votes, and can win in a tie. If the other three are conflicted, and can’t work together to all vote for one person (someone has to vote for themself…)

I think. Gin would try to be voted off. Yeahh

Lot’s of things to mention here! 

1. Shin hesitates before saying “I’ll kill you.” The three little dots indicate that, but it’s hard to tell if his pause is from the shock of watching Kanna die, or if he’s trying to find words for a new thought process that he hadn’t fully embraced. 

2. Shin saying “It’s all worthless,” is rough. He’s gone through the death game  assuming he’ll die, and at the end finally found the resolve to do so by dying for someone he loves. But that was stopped, ironically enough, because he’s a stronger asset then Kanna. And the people who tore away his choice are the people who he almost began to trust. 

Putting his faith in people, becoming stronger, protecting someone he cared about, trying to escape, it was all just worthless. 

Two More Points Undercut

3. The tragedy of Shin’s character is that he wants to trust everyone. Even the floormasters are people that he hoped were good deep down. But then Gashu takes his own life so his sister will die, and Tia carries out her execution without remorse. He’s shown that he can’t rely on anyone. Not the floormasters nor his “allies.” He’s alone, and all his hope for humanity has shattered. 

But the more interesting implications are that he wants to kill the floormasters as well. He does say he wants to kill everyone “that killed Kanna,” so I think it’s fair to think that he’s gunning for them too. Which...wouldn’t it be a jaw drooping plot twist if he killed Tia? Or even someone as powerful as Meister? And how would it effect his rivalry with Sara if he murdered her Father? So many things could come of this. 

4. Shin says Sara will be first. If that ends up being true, we might play as a protagonist other than Sara for a bit in the final chapter. Which I imagine would likely be Shin. 

This dialogue is so interesting and gives you plenty to analyze. The end of the second main game is so well written.

FOR SCIENCE!!

I had first seen a play through of yttd (Michaela laws) and she did the emotion route (reko/kanna).

I found out that I could just play the game for myself so I started playing from chapter 3A. I decided to skip the recap and just play. I chose the alice and shin route because I hadn’t seen it before.

I pressed on like “oh Sara is kinda fucked!” Thinking that was normal. And then the scene in the classroom happened with ranmaru and I was thoroughly baffled.

And then Alice fucking died and I was sad all day.

3b Spoilers

This is something I haven’t seen discussed much despite having a lot of potential— what’s your opinion on the surviving dummy (Kurumada, Mai, Hayasaka) at the end of the banquet?

It’s easy to miss it, I’d assume in no small part to to the fact it’s not an active choice but based entirely on which coffins you randomly select.

I’m just surprised I haven’t seen a single theory mention this at all. What do you think?

[flamingspud]

Alr, be honest, who did you kill the first time you played yttd?

(Spoilers for the second main game under the cut)

YOUR TURN TO DIE - CHAPTER 2-2 SPOILERS!!!!

[animoof]

Kanna > Shin there I said it CAN I GO HOME NOW...

[reminiscentrainclouds]

I finally finished playing the yttd emotion route AND the mini episodes (I had only played through the logic route beforehand), and it made me want to doodle a bunch of characters I haven't drawn yet. Except for the top two. I just wanted to draw Joe and Ranmaru.

[bloodfreak-boyking]

why did we need sam's reaction to his brother kissing cassie? unless...🤔 no, i shan't say

[beanieman]

I think this argument is the most interesting one Kanna makes. Warning for this post: I’m going to be talking about suicidal tendencies. If that understandably upsets you, I wouldn’t read this one.

The first time I played YTTD, this argument swayed me to pick the logic route. At the time, I couldn’t come up with a good argument against it, and I felt bad choosing Shin, who wanted to live so badly up till this point.

But I don’t agree that this is a good argument anymore. Even though I’m still a logic route player for the ✨drama ✨of it all. 

Kanna taking Sara’s card is an action born out of resentment. She couldn’t save Kugie, and she can’t forgive herself for what happened. In her mind, dying is the only way to atone for her mistake. And that belief is why this argument is a cruel one. 

Kanna is arguing here that she was already attempting to “atone,” so Sara should let it happen now. For Sara to vote for her based on this argument is to agree that Kanna has something to make up for. That the sacrifice Kugie chose to make to save a loved one is something she should feel guilty about.  

Things like this are why I love going back and analyzing games. It gives me a new perspective on moments I took at face value on a first playthrough.
