When I opened the in-game menu, a pop-up that said 'Worried about life?' appeared. I said yes, and the protagonist's AI eyeball tried to give us therapy.
I love this for the entirely meta reason that it suggests that ABIS looked at their history of hiring agents and then went "Hmm, yeah, we probably need a therapy app. Surely all of our problems can be resolved with therapy."
You got the names correct! That was also my first route. I liked Komeji a lot. He is not when I expected from his design, lol.
Interesting, who did you put for the first question on your first run through? It is a very minor detail which is quite funny when that question is harder to answer than the more blatant "who was the killer?" spoiler. I also got the first question wrong, but the game took pity on me and let me have another try because I was close enough. (If you're curious, I put Moma. The game's response was something along the lines of "you're right, Moma did get shot - but in the stomach, not in the leg! Understandable mistake to make though, so have another go.")
I realise it's so this game can include Date without spoiling that particular revelation.
A lot of people don't seem to realise this or think the spoiler mode thing should toggle which model Date should have. Can you imagine the confusion that would cause? ("Hey, I saw someone else play this game, and that was a completely different guy!") Having said that, as hilariously stupid as it is, that was Date's body for six years, and he had no memories prior to that. It's probably still a considerably more familiar face to Date (and I can't remember if the first game ever clarified to what degree Date's memories returned - all of them, or just some?).
(Also, if this is a world with masks that can perfectly mimic human faces, I feel Gen should invest in something less alarming than his current outfit.)
Maybe Gen just wants to shove people away so the best solution is A TERRIFYING CLOWN MASK OR SOMETHING.
I DON'T THINK YOU CAN ATTACH HALF A CORPSE TO A BLACKBOARD BY REMOVING ITS INTERNAL ORGANS AND USING IT LIKE A SUCTION CUP
HOW DO YOU KNOW? HAVE YOU TRIED? YOU CAN'T DISPROVE IT IF YOU NEVER TRY. :p
You can't demote Ryuki; he had his eye surgically removed for this job! It really seems like he should be able to sue in that situation.
The real question is whether or not they'd take Tama back or if she'd also be fired and could stay with him as, like you say, he had his eye removed - he'd need a replacement, and I'm sure ABIS wouldn't want their shady eye removal practises being exposed.
I am enjoying your commentary and look forward to seeing how it evolves and to having a chat about some other stuff when you are at appropriate points. (This is a bit easier to comment on the previous game as this game is more linear in its approach to branches, as you may have noticed. There are some you can do in whatever order - like your Shoma and Komeji branch, you could have gone straight down the other route - but some of the branches you need information from one branch to go down the other.)
