Alright… It seems like for Antlers’ lesson, I should’ve just prayed to the gods of random and fished for one specific event with Blake. And as for rekindling my relationship with Serena, I somehow ended up cut off from it —I don’t know how, where, or when, but it looks like that door is simply closed for me forever. Shame. Honestly, this game desperately needs a good, detailed guide. This isn’t my first attempt at playing it, but I keep dropping it. No offense, but the gameplay sucks ass because of its repetitiveness and sometimes randomness. You can spend hours of real time trying to achieve a something specific, only for it all to be in vain because a couple of variables didn’t align somewhere, and who the hell knows what to do about it. The ton of filler events that don’t affect anything but slow down your progress doesn’t help either. To be honest, after starting Stage 4, I’ve basically just been skimming, reading a sentence per paragraph or less. The only thing still keeping me going is the desire to see the ending, but damn, the path to it is starting to feel like a road made of burning coals.
