Rampant Speculation Thread

Speculate wildly

Oooooh kay. Let's see, theories...

The last forums said "A slice of the college life Virtual novel" up in the header. Since a basic premise is usually the first thing brought up, it's probably going to stay in a college setting.

The devs probably don't want to be considered a katawa klone, so there's a good chance that the setting will be somewhere other than Japan. North America, maybe? KS+ on the other hand, attempted to be a sequel/side story, so they're probably going to stick with as similar a setting to KS as possible.

The relationships in the game will progress at different paces compared to KS, probably with longer periods of time being depicted in the game. Going "one step further" could mean moving in with path girls, meeting parents, and hell, maybe even going as far as proposing marriage during the course of the story.

I really like the idea of seeing relationships over a longer period of time. Going as far as marriage would be really cool. I also really hope to see different settings. One of the things I really like about Mentaru Shoujo is the fact that it will take place in austria. I think breaking out of the Japanese setting would be cool. As far as I know, the game will have a college setting, which is nice because at least it won't be in the High school rut. I'm excited to see how far departed this project will be from the normal cliche VN. I think that getting out of the cliche japanese high school setting would be nice.

I'd also like to see people with disabilities and people without disabilities. I think there's a lot more realism in that, instead of having all these people with disabilities separated from society. I think it would add some extra depth to the story I guess.
