You have to at least get the Affection ending in the other 5 routes to unlock Ohtaro's route so with that done I first took a long break because I really felt like Tomonari should have been the last one as his ends off so perfectly wrapping up everything. Once I was done with my break, I started with loading up Save 1 and chose: -Entertainment District
The beginning of this route is the same as Kinji's and since Kinji gives me strong urges to slap him ¬.¬ I'll fast-forward to the new choices I make starting with Chapter 2 only pausing to read when Ohtaro is around since there is a few entertaining moments with him especially the hilarious scene with Mimi. The scenes are shorter and have less teasing from Kinji with the Ohtaro choices it seems. In fact one scene is a bit sweet kind of and the other is kind of funny. I guess by pursuing Ohtaro it make Kinji a little nicer. I chose:
-Don't take it
-Tell him the truth
-Chase away the volunteer police
Chapter 3 I chose:
-Lean away
-Stop him by force
So as I was watching the lean away scene, I started to think about Ohtaro and I noticed something odd he is the only one to blush without his seals being mentioned as broken...and he's also the only one that hasn't killed a blightfall on his own so far. I have a lot of suspicion about the boy now and feel he be hiding something.
Chapter 4 starts with a large increase in blightfall but is quickly followed with the hilarious that Kinji slapped Ohtaro awake. I've made another observation about Ohtaro he has kunai back in Kinji's route he attacked the blightfall with them; not sure why I just remembered that.... I have a bad feeling about that. Anyways on the lighter side I think Ohtaro really likes Suzuno he got jealous at the thought of her buying Kinji's picture. The ghost stories are for the most part just ridiculous especially Tomonari's. The blightfall that appeared was the god one Hibie and it kept saying we to Ohtaro's questions which makes me all the more suspicious he might be involved somehow... Could Ohtaro be possessed or a minion of Hibie?? I mean it would explain his having emotions without any threads.... He does seem to like Suzuno though since he keeps sharing his thought process with her despite the fact it could be a bad thing to think like he does it seems. Choices are:
-They both became blightfall
-[for 100 ghost stories I made a temporary save 2 and the final choice doesn't matter so I went with Tomonari, Kunitaka, Yoichi, Genjuro and last] Kinji
-I don't want you to regain it
Chapter 5 opens with them going and finding Ruriko not that doing so helps anything... As usual I'm certain it won't be resolved until it gets really bad in this and the next chapter then the final showdown will occur one way or another in the last chapter followed up by showing some kind of romantic interaction. For now, however it is information overflow time as they wonder what to do. Suzuno is overthinking about her feelings for Ohtaro as well, which I suppose it typical for this point in the route now I think about it.... Suzuno treating Ohtaro like a dog is still funny even with his rather dark comment about biting her. I'm starting to think his jealous nature might be something to do with what will happen perhaps it'll turn him into a blightfall.... I just know he's gonna do something stupid. Who would have thought Tenichibo would show up in this route? It is implied that Hibie might be being controlled.... I don't want to think about it but what if it is Ohtaro after all that is the problem. The thread after all is the one used by the Oniwaban. Only one choice:
-Because it's a different tool
Chapter 6 begins with the reveal I was right Ohtaro isn't a vessel anymore sometime or other he did change which is something I guess there is a risk of with vessels somehow or other... I don't even know what to think about this situation. I really do think he's lying and likes Suzuno and not as a possibly evil ally though and she clearly does care for him despite being unsure now because of his reveal. I'm glad the reveal is this late, so it gave me time to like Ohtaro at least before getting mad at him. Yep Suzuno wants Ohtaro to live despite his choices. Honestly I'm hoping he has a good side under there somewhere. Surely he must to love Suzuno right? Hmm he might even be lying to himself seems his doggy thing might be his tool and Suzuno had a memory of seeing it somehow? Maybe he is being controlled by the blight like other victims of blightfall. His just happened at such a young forming age he doesn't remember. At least that is my guess. I'm also guessing the game won't really explain either. That kiss though! Just like Ohtaro behave don't be like I don't have feelings then kiss her I mean talk about opposites. Choices were:
-... [followed by making a save 2 file]
-Don't tell him
-I can't do something like that
-I don't know
Chapter 7 opens with Suzuno having been the one to act stupid instead, but it seems to have impacted Ohtaro's heart in a good way so onward to happiness ending for now anyways. Starting off of course I made save 3 for later. The full past finally is revealed. The villagers even end up feeling bad for having been mean in the past quite the interesting events in this route towards the end. Eh? Suzuno's appearance changed from having more energy? She really looks like a Hakuseki clan member.... Well, the final battle is definitely interesting. Choices made were:
-Don't take his hand
-Hit Ohtaro
Finishing this changes the home screen to Spring instead of being stuck in winter because of the events as well based around why the winter snow was made in the first place I suppose.
Time for sadness and the truth of what Ohtaro had been thinking the whole time in his confused conflicted state of mind; I loaded up save 3 and chose:
-Take his hand
There is a CG tied to this Sorrow Ending
Bad ends don't have any CG so for Bad End 1 I loaded Save 2 and chose:
-Tell him
-...Of course
-I was scared
Bad End 2 can be obtained by choosing Retrace Footsteps then Ohtaro then Chapter 4 Affection high then choosing:
-The culprit has been killed
Next post I'll review and share my ranking of fave to least fave and a link to my youtube playlist for I am doing a lets play of the whole game all endings where I give all the characters English voice overs (probably in a silly way truth be told).
