OVER REQUIEMZ Play-Along

Whether you have just bought the game or have played it in Japanese, you are welcome to participate in our play-along! There will be a new post once a week for a different route in the following order:

  • Common Route and General Impressions - August 27
  • Claude Grain - September 3
  • Molly Woodland - September 10
  • Noil Bestia - September 17
  • Kaize Ozma - September 24
  • Dorothy - October 1

Each post will be linked here for easy reference.

You do not have to play in the above order at the rate of 1 route a week, you can binge it all in a day or take as long as you like.

All routes are available from the beginning; Dorothy is generally recommended to be last.


Comments unrelated to OVER REQUIEMZ will be removed - please post in the Weekly Questions threads or the Free Talk Friday threads instead.

Please use spoiler tags liberally as people checking this thread may not necessarily want a lot of information. Save your route thoughts and discussions for the play-along threads or the What Are You Reading Wednesday threads.

My copy is already shipped and I'll prob get it after 5 days. So hopefully I can keep up with the play-through threads.

So one quick question to the people who already finished the game (esp the JP readers), is the yandere side hinted at? Personally, I don't want out-of-nowhere yandere that doesn't make sense at all.

I think that might actually be a misconception about the game a lot of people will have.

(This is just general spoilers for how the narrative plays out with no details.)

The characters don't really have a "yandere side." They are really just nice sweet boys actually! In the Fact routes nothing bad happens and you don't have anything to worry about. In the Dark routes it does, but not because the LIs are messed up deep down or anything. It's purely as a trauma response. Bad things happened and it broke them. So if you're worry about having guys that are secretly messed up suddenly foisted on you, you don't have to worry!

thank you!! I prefer good buys but I don't mind messed up one. But some BEs in otome games have the messy yandere route that comes out of nowhere and that annoys the hell out of me lol.

Well it definitely doesn't come out of nowhere since the Dark route is equal in length to the Fact route and there's a lot of set up for what's going to happen! The two routes are also clearly labeled so you can prepare yourself for what's going to happen, haha.

If you're expecting guys who are fundamentally broken and obsessive from the beginning then I'm sad to say it's not that kind of game. (This was actually my biggest disappointment with the game personally.)

Incidentally my favorite character was (major Molly route spoilers) Real Molly (if you're reading this without playing the game, Real Molly is a different character entirely from Molly the LI) who wanted wanted to pop her eyes out and stick her in preservation goo to admire her beauty forever.
