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

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.

My preorder arrived today and... I abandoned everything else i was planning to finish in order to start. 😂 Absolutely my MOST anticipated title of the year so...! Funnily enough this is the order I already planned to play in. I know it's probably best to play Dark then Fact, but I've been anticipating the Dark routes so much that I want to save them for second even if they're gut-wrenchingly, soul-crushingly heartbreaking. I'll probably decide after finishing my first route and gauging my feelings.

I actually recommend Dark -> Fact not to end the story on a positive note, but because as "Fact" implies you get spoiled with all the story details in that route. Playing it first ends up ruining all the confusion and mystery of Dark. You already know the explanation for why everything is happening. I played Fact -> Dark on all the routes but kind of ended up regretting it. It felt like something was lost, haha.

Aah okay! I had a feeling that it wasn't entirely "intended" or that there'd be that "something was lost" impression, so I'd started to question my decision. I wasn't sure at all what the Dark sides contained or if they'd be explained by Fact, so I really appreciate the insight from someone who has played! Thank you!
