Question: does Luke know about Lilith?

[collecting-dustbunnies]

They do circle around the issue, but the game in the beginning is pretty clear that Luke doesn't know.

In OG S1, when MC is staying with Purgatory Hall after Belphie was freed from the attic, Solomon was contemplating how Belphegor was released from the attic without the pact with Lucifer, and he or Simeon proposed that someone acted in Lucifer's place. And Luke asked how that was possible because Lucifer only has 6 brothers. Simeon makes some angry face here.

Even in OG S2, Luke is never present whenever the gang discusses MC's angelic heritage. And in OG S3, Luke was under the impression that Lucifer being kicked out of the Celestial Realm and not being allowed back is up to Michael, instead of the big guy above. I think that's supposed to further add to the idea Luke is receiving some distorted version of events from the Celestial Realm/Michael/whoever.

Which is also a bit stupid if you think about it harder. How does Luke claim there are beautiful paintings of Lucifer in the Celestial Realm, that he used to respect Lucifer, but lose the entire plot anyway?

I explained current Infinity Nikki story to some friends yesterday and the reactions to it were so funny because when you hear 'dress up game' you're not expecting any of that

There's this organization called Mothis that raises the Shroomseras (mushroom-like people) with the sole goal of ensuring their happiness. Any Shroomsera that happens to be sad for whatever reason at some point is deemed defective. We don't exactly know what Mothis does to unhappy Shroomseras but there's one Shroomsera we know that did get punished after being sad. Said Shroomsera is about to participate in the Fullbloom Festival which is a coming of age ceremony, yet unlike the other participants of the ceremony, their speech is on the level of a toddler + they also start having a breakdown the second Mothis is mentioned in the conversation

Anyway Shroomseras that manage to stay happy until the ceremony will be brought to the Land of Happiness where they are said to be happy forever and never feel sad ever again. You can only go there after successfully participating in the ceremony & you can never leave once you get there

Thing is the 'Land of Happiness' is actually a sweets factory & they're killing and cooking the Shroomseras to turn them into fuel for the city

Masayuki Harada Is #ProLuciferTorture

[teddievision]

It's so lame that the only family we get to me is the brothers. So many characters get referenced but they never get to actually DO ANYTHING!!!

[teddievision]

And don't even get me started on Dia's parents. Like God forbid his mom has a little more to her than just...being dead?? And I'll never forgive the devs for making the lamest writing decision in the world ((not including Dia's dad in Nightbringer))

And what about Barb??? I don't think he has a family in the traditional sense. BUT!! He has the prince!!! He RAISED Dia!! WHY DO WE NOT GET A BUNCH OF REFERENCES TO THAT?? How did Barb feel about raising this kid?? how has his feelings towards Dia change?? Have they changed at all? DIES HE SEE DIA AS A SON?? DOES DIA SEE HIM AS A FATHER FIGURE???

Same goes for Meph's parents. His dad is mentioned but WHAT ABOUT HIS MOM??? DOES HE EVEN HAVE ONE???

We do get a little bit on Solomon's parents and from what we can tell they weren't the best. With that being said I would have killed to get some flashbacks or something. Having your son be a fucking wizard??? And choosing to LOCK HIM UP??? Why does it feel like this barely even affects Solomon. His FAMILY did that to him why is it mentioned like twice and then forgotten about??

AND AGAIN!! 13 has a SISTER?? HOW REAPER FAMILIES EVEN WORK?? DID THEY CHOOSE EACHOTEHR OR ARE THEY BLOOD RELATED?? WHAT EVEN HAPPENED TO HER SISTER?? WHY IS IT SUCH A SENSITIVE TOPIC TO 13??

I would give anything to have one of these families be explored. I wanna know about the dynamics. I wanna know how much family means to each character. I want to know WHAT family means to each character. Please give me literally anything.

[sheep-rambler]

This!! There are so many unexplored relationships outside of the brothers. I love them, I love the dynamics of a variety of brothers in a singular household. But, Diavolo's family intrigues me so much! His mother? What was she like?

Do her portraits still hang in the halls or perhaps all taken down the same night she died? Did Diavolo only get to see his mother's face through history books and learned about her personality in old newspapers? Never getting to know her as person since his father, too aggrieved to even murmur a detail about her, ignores his quiet questions as a child.

Did Barbatos know her well? Did he lose a dear friend that day? I can imagine the two being the closest of friends. The two gossiping over tea about rumors about the demon king. "Oh, everyone is talking about how he's so ruthless but he snores so loudly when he sleeps." "Oh, I know all about that." He must have been so excited when she was expecting. Yes, it would be so much more work for him, but for his closest friends he would give them all of the realms.

How crushed he must have been to see her lifeless. Further worsened when Diavolo's father leaves the baby to cradle the body that slowly becomes cold. Perhaps it is a reason that he became such a fatherly figure towards Diavolo. It would do her right, that her dearest son is cared for and knows he's loved. Even if his actual father won't look him in the eyes. Does Diavolo have his mother's eyes? He wouldn't know.

I knew it looked familiar...

watched the birthday story video for the first time and immediately had to think about how he’s just been waiting there with those flowers probably super nervous and all

(reference to this pic)

just do me a favor and do not zoom into the flowers like i really hate drawing them and just gave up halfway through

Aprovechando que hablaste de la situación de 13, siento que el fandom es demasiado misógino, mira como tratan a las sucubos de unas fotos de los chats, a Maddie que su único pecado es ser creída, a Lilith que la tachan de estúpida e inmadura y bueno, Thirteen que ya ni siquiera es un personaje secundario, es un extra de fondo que a veces tiene líneas.

Recuerdo haber jugado varias veces el evento de los tres mundos y sabes, odie que la única inclusión que tuviera Thirteen fuera ser un plot devise, al menos Mephistipheles y Raphael tuvieron más interacciones con el resto del cast, pero ella? Y es algo que me sorprende, teniendo en cuenta que una gran parte del fandom es fem 💔

100%

En general el fandom siempre ha tenido un problema de misoginia pero siempre que pasa algún drama en otros fandoms otome vez al fandom de OBM dándose aires de grandeza de que 'no en el fandom de OBM aquí todos somos super woke 🥰' dude, Solmare tuvo que disculparse y dar un comunicado por qué empezaron a hacer review-bombing por la inclusión de UNA(1) mujer en el juego, he visto gente en el fandom que se enojó por qué Ruri-chan era un personaje jugable en Nightbringer!!! Un personaje de broma que además es ficticio en el puto juego! Y todavia solo la consigues si eres VIP totalmente opcional!!! No vengan a tratar de reescribir la historia, yo estuve ahí cuando paso todo eso!!!

"Obey Me! Till Death Do Us Part" Player Satisfaction Survey

Thank you for playing Obey Me! Till Death Do Us Part. We are conducting this survey to gather your feedback on the current game experience a

[bagofdrymice]

im not very into mobile games but celebrating 0.5 anniversary sounds like they dont think the gsme will survvive untill a full anniversary

[cnl0400]

Tbf OG/NB did celebrate half anniversaries. It's also true that most Mobile gacha games also celebrate half anniversaries because most gachas barely survive past the first anniversary lol.

In IDO case, OG Is currently doing More money than IDO so It would surprise me if they live past their first anniversary...

[cnl0400]

I know y'all don't play IDO but can y'all please complain in the survey and say to make the UI feel lesss like dogshit. For me please

Also give us dailies or something to do, maybe If enough people complain they'll hear us

Been thinking of the upcoming Sinner's Choice VN and have a question

Your stand on sharing full playthroughs/scenes/detailed summaries of visual novels?

Yay

Nay

Some third answer (Pls elaborate in comments/RBs)

Voting ended onJun 14

I ask this because there's always been some debate on sharing full content/full playthroughs of other types of games vs with VNs. With other types of games, the story is not always be the main push, and there are other mechanics/features that can hook the player to try the game themselves. But in VNs, the story IS the game. This is especially so for (predominantly) kinetic novels, such as what Sinner's Choice is getting advertised as.

On one hand, people who are interested in the premise will buy anyway regardless of whether they know the full story or not. For those who don't, maybe they might end up liking what's in the game and decide to buy it after seeing a playthrough. And for those who cannot get the game due to not having the right platform/cannot afford it, well, they weren't ever going to buy it anyway.

On the other hand, playthroughs of VNs could instead reduce a person's incentive to buy the game. I have heard smaller indie VN devs share how full playthroughs and piracy have completely tanked interest and sales of their game. This last bit is less applicable to a product from the Obey Me franchise, but even so, I'm sure it still has an effect. I know that's also why a lot of the Japanese VNs are stricter about full playthroughs being shared...
