Random Ideas: yuni-three-bells You can read an overview of what to expect from each blog, of other blog/website recommendations, and of some favorites here.
Hi, everyone! Hope you've been having a good 2021 so far! It's been a little over a year since I started this blog, so I think an update is well in order! :))
First, thank you so much for the support! I had many worries when I first started this - and I still do, actually. Initially, I only had a vague idea of how to use Tumblr. Themes, pages, and all the wonders of customization were new to me. I had no definite posting schedule - and I become even less active whenever a new semester would start at my university. Still, despite all of these, you've stayed with me and have been so kind. It really means so, so much! Thank you very much for your kindness! I pray that you experience the same kindness - and even more of it - this year and in the future!!!
Second, it doesn't look like much, but I'm gradually making changes to the blog. I'm reorganizing some pages, and fixing some details. I haven't figured out how I want it to look yet, but the amazing theme-making community inspires me to try!
Third, I still haven't forgotten about the Phantom of the Opera game by MaZM. I've made more progress with the walkthrough, but something went wrong with my phone. It kept crashing and wouldn't turn on properly. I was so sad because I couldn't retrieve the walkthrough I had made and because I had to restart the game. I'm very sorry to say that it seems you might have to wait longer.
Fourth, to compensate for my inactivity and for the delay of walkthrough for the said game, I'm making some recommendation posts! I've learned new things over the break that I hope will be useful/entertaining for you also! Please expect to see posts about some useful applications/extensions and nice, chill apps you may want to try.
Lastly, I just want to clarify something! :)) There are countless guides online about how to complete games. There are also numerous videos and lists online for recommending the "Top 10 Apps" for so-and-so. Since I'm not as up-to-date as other people, my posts probably don't matter that much anymore or aren't even relevant. I don't reference other guides when I make my own, so that's one of the reasons why it takes me so long to post. Still, I enjoy making them and hope you will, too!
If you have any question, or anything you might want me to talk about when I make certain posts, feel free to send me a message here or comment on my posts! May you have a blessed and fruitful 2021, everyone!!!
hello! i’m sorry, where i can find phantom of the opera walkthrough chapter 2?
Hello! I'm still working on it, so I haven't posted it yet. I'm sorry for the wait! It might take a while, but I'll do my best to get it done! I'll create a new post for it, and I'll also include a link to that post in the masterpost. I've finished part of it already, though, so if you would be interested in seeing what I've written, you can just send me a message! :)
Thank you very much for showing interest in my walkthrough! It really, really means a lot. :,) Have a good day! ⭐

(Also called Hikikomori Detective Brothers)
This is a straightforward walkthrough listing the correct choices to get to the end! :>
Notes:
- There are more than 50 different endings (yup, you read that right) but only one ultimate end (or true end) to the story. This can be achieved by making all the correct choices (listed like this).
- Clicking on a wrong choice will get you one of those 50+ endings, and you’ll either have to start from the beginning of the story or restart the chapter to select the correct choice.
- To completely finish the game, you’ll have to get all 50+ endings! But, even just getting the true end is enough! The other 50+ endings are more comedic in nature, so you won’t be missing out on them if you choose not to get them.

A Text-Style Visual Novel by Entabridge Co., Ltd. Available for Android
This walkthrough lists choices that get you to finish the chapter without getting any Bad/Another/Ad End, and these will be made bold. It also lists which ends can be obtained by certain choices.
Note:
You can redo choices by watching ads. (If you're not connected to the internet, though, you'll just have to wait a while, and no ad will load!) Otherwise, you'll have to return to the Title Screen and play from the beginning of the chapter to reselect your choice.
In the Chapter Menu, you can see all chapters you've cleared and are in the middle of clearing. There's a percentage in the box each chapter that represents your completion progress. This means that, while you can finish a chapter without any Bad/Another/Ad End, you chapter will not necessarily be marked 100%. To get 100%, you'll have to play through all other choices you have not selected.
Bad/Another/Ad Ends immediately end the chapter. To continue playing, pick the choices in bold. Bad Ends are, as they're called, bad ends. Another Ends are alternative, actually comedic ends. Ad Ends are ends wherein other characters/stories made by Entabridge appear and end the chapter.
Where do you pick as Shinjo Senpai's Internship company?
(before picking "a cat café", it's best to any of the other two choices for more story content)
an apparel shop
a maid café
a cat café
What should you do with Onitsuka Senpai's Internship?
do his internship together
look for the job which requires the heavy physical work (Another End 1)
confess the wrong fact to the Principal (if you clicked this, then "No", then this again, it automatically moves you to “Who hit Inori Shiraha San was——”)
cause another incident (Bad End 9)
I should confess the wrong fact to the Principal (This choice is only available after picking "confess the wrong fact to the Principal)
Yes
No (picking this takes you back to the previous question, but you can only do this once)
Who hit Inori Shiraha San was—— (this is only available by confessing to the principal or clicking "Yes" in the previous choice)
TLDR: This blog's moving slowly, but things are coming up!
----- ------ ----- ------ ----- ------
Hello! I'm very sorry about delays of new posts.
It was my goal to post at least every week, but I'm already falling behind... _(:3 」∠)_
I haven't given up on The Phantom of the Opera game! 😄 I hope to post each part by chapter, so this tumblr wouldn't end up with frequent, short updates. However, it's taking a while to make sure I get 100% while getting all the footnotes. I am checking out other games/apps, so I might be working on those and posting those while I work on The Phantom of the Opera! I hope for your continued patience! ✨✨✨
If you've interacted with any of my posts or have even just seen them, thank you so much for your support! I'd be happy if even I could make even just one person happy! ❤️ I do have some things in store, so please look forward to them! :)) Enjoy! Have a good day!

Stage 4
Tap the binoculars on the chair, and tap on the cave in the distance. You’ll see arrows: up, left, right, right when the compass is facing north. Go to the left side of the boat, and tap on the compass. Because you’re facing east, the equivalent of the cave directions would be to swipe right, up, down, down. You’ll get the first puzzle piece.
Tap the table with food, and solve the sliding puzzle on the suitcase. Go to the left side of the boat to see how to move the mouse family. Go back to the food with table, and get 1 piece of chicken, two slices of apples, and a plate of cupcakes. Then, tap on the mouse family near the bottom of the screen. Give the chicken to the dad, the apples to the mom, and the cupcakes to the baby. The mouse family will leave, and you’ll collect the missing piece of the slider puzzle. Place it in the slider puzzle, and you’ll open the suitcase. You’ll get the second puzzle piece!
Observe the signboard and throw floater rings around the dolphins in that order. Go to the right side of the boat, and tap on the ocean/sea. Tap on the dark circles in the order you saw the sign said, and you’ll get a fish from the dolphin. Go to the left side of the boat, and tap on the yellow bird statue. Place the fish in its mouth. You’ll get the third puzzle piece!
Get the net, and fish out the corkscrew in the water. Read the book on the table, and you’ll see this: four birds on page 1, five dolphins on page 10, and two boats on page 100. When you multiply these and add these together, you’ll get 254. Enter this code into the blue box on the left side of the boat. Use the corkscrew to open the wine bottle, and you’ll get the last puzzle piece!
Tap on the door to enter the inside of the boat. You’ll get a fish on top of the shelf under the window of Stage 2.
Press the potted plant and get the pawn piece, and don’t forget the scissors. Get the broom by the door, and sweep the pile of leaves to get the king chess piece and a diagram. Then, go to the bookshelf in the top-left corner, and click on the thick red book. Open it to get the horse chess piece. Then, place the pawn, king, and horse on their designated places in front of the chessboard. Doing so will prompt you to place them on the actual chessboard. To know the right positions, click on the giant chessboard at the back, and mimic the positions of the chess pieces. You’ll get the first puzzle piece!
Go to the plants, and observe the plants. You’ll need to remember the positions of the aerial plants for the last puzzle piece, but focus on the lower plants for now, and tap them. Right now, the shadows are a mess, so rearrange them to find numbers. You should end up with numbers formed by the shadows: 1, 5, 2, 3, 5. Go to the birdcage with a golden horse piece, and type this code into padlock. Place the golden horse piece into the hole of the giant horse chess piece. You’ll get the second puzzle piece!
Remember the diagram? Well, get the painted pumpkin, and place it in the vase of water. The vase has a vine hanging on its edge. The pumpkin will reveal a pattern. Remember the pattern, and go press the small box to the right of the door. Copy the pattern there, and you’ll get the third puzzle piece!
Go back to the bookshelf and use the broom to knock down the box on top. Remember the aerial plants: Purple (highest), blue (third), red (second), yellow (lowest)? Mimic this on the slider of the fallen box. Now, use the flashlight to shine light under the couch and get a key. Use the key to open the drawer and get the last puzzle piece.
Tap on the door to enter. You’ll get a jack-o-lantern near the shelf.
Tap on the wooden logs and add one to the fireplace. Then you can see the red lightbulb amidst the spools of yarn. Find the green lightbulb beside the snowman plate with cookies. Place them in the lamp, and switch it on. You’ll see two times: 12:50 and 6:10. Go to the clock beside the snowglobe and input the time for 6:10. You’ll get the roman numeral I which looks like the capital letter I. Look at the doormat, and observe the dark spots. Now, go to the snowglobe, and make sure the blue mimics the positions of the dark spots. Once you’ve finished, tap all the buttons to get the key. Use the key to unlock the glass case surrounding the clock, below the TV. Change the time to 12:50, and you’ll get the roman numeral V which looks like the capital V. Place the I and the V on the picture frame with “Merry Christmas” but with missing letters. You’ll get the first puzzle piece!
Mix the creamer with the coffee to get a snowflake shape. Then, press all the snowflakes that match the picture you saw in the creamer. Use the remote to turn on the tv. Remember the music notes and their placement, especially the first three. Go to the picture with musical notes as its code, and copy the placement of the first three. You’ll get the second piece!
Check out the photo album on the table, and you’ll see numbers: 1, 1, 2, 4, 1. Now, go to the board game, and check out the letters. Count one space from start, and you’ll get D. Count another space, and you’ll get R. Count two spaces from R, and you’ll get E. Continue until you’re done! You’ll get the word DREAM. Go find the picture frame which has the picture of the beach. Type DREAM there. You’ll get the third puzzle piece!
Remember the markings on the window? The one with the arrows and the paw print? Use that to open the drawers behind the spools of yarn. Open it from the bottom, left drawer, middle right, top left, top right, middle left, bottom right. You’ll get a key which will unlock the picture frame with the picture of rain. You’ll get the fourth puzzle piece!
Remember the snowman in the snowglobe? Visit it again, and pay attention to its buttons: green, red, yellow, blue. Now, go to the number cookies on the table. You’ll find a green one, red seven, yellow nine, and blue four. Put these numbers in the remaining picture frame in this order. You’ll get the last puzzle piece!
Tap on the door to enter. You’ll get a snowman on one of the shelves.

Click on the stony path leading to the entrance of the house. Remember the footprints: two of a frog’s; three of a duck’s; four of a rabbit’s. Go back to the wide view, and click on the rabbit statue on the bottom right. Press the buttons according to the number of footprints. I pressed the stones this way: twice in the middle, thrice on the right, and four times on the left. You’ll get a key, so go back to the table with treats.

The Phantom of the Opera Walkthrough/Guide (Complete)

Contents:
Things to know before/when playing
Chapter walkthroughs
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Before going to the chapter walkthroughs/guides, here are some things you might need to know before/when playing:
1. Right when you open the game, it shows precautions.
Overall, I find the game to be scary in the sense that the game feels very real (with its beautiful visuals, effective sounds, and timely effects), and that it is a thrilling experience. However, I don’t find it scary enough to be causing sleepless nights / to be haunting me daily. Just, exercise proper discretion when playing! Here it is - in case you missed it the first time! :)
2. Read the Game Streaming Guide when you open the app for the first time!
It contains policies and requests from the game-developers that we should all honor! They worked hard on their games, and the least we can do is follow what they ask! It will only take a few seconds/minutes, and will do them a big favor! :) Here it is - in case you missed it the first time! :)
3. The guide contains information on footnotes and achievements, aside from what to do to progress with the story.
Footnotes might be easily missed, so keep an eye out for them! No worries though! Just follow the guide! :) I’ll also be putting the achievements that can be unlocked, as soon as they can be unlocked, within the walkthrough itself. I’ll be updating the consequences of each choice, though, when I finish the game!
The game actually contains other extras which I won’t be including like characters and gallery.
4. The game features tokens.
These tokens are used to view additional content in the game such as chapters and gallery pieces. They may be obtained in the Shop, by three ways: watching three ads daily for a total of 35 gold tokens and 720 silver tokens, sharing/following MazM’s SNS pages, or by purchasing special bundles.
The prices of the additional content vary, but they’ll be listed in the post about the game or in the walkthrough itself.
5. The post about the game will not feature an in-depth story of what transpires in the game (see point two).
“So, it’s a meaningless post?” Nope! :)
I’ll feature some pictures and snippets of what to expect when you play the game! As for the actual content, it’ll be a surprise :))

yuni-bells:
Hi! If you’re reading this, I apologize for the weird order of posts. I was so excited, I wanted to post this walkthrough/guide for Chapter 1! I’ll update it in the future, and I promise I won’t forget! :) If it’s hard for you to find the posts, I recommend waiting for the complete walkthrough where I’ll put links to these different parts about the game! Thank you for your time and support! :)
For now, I highlighted options I chose in bold (in the “Choose”) parts, but I have yet to see if they change the story in certain ways.
I’m also still just putting all the information here and will fix each part to make the guide flow more smoothly after I add more information! Thank you, once again, for all your patience and understanding! :)
Update! Jan. 18, 2020
I have fixed the other parts of this guide, so everything is complete, except for the side story (Isolation). It’s pretty straightforward, so I’ll continue playing the game and working on the guide before I update it.

Lyrics:
In my old neighborhood, old neighborhood
- a villa's basement
Four members of a family, of a family
... they lived happily
Under the bathroom door, I know,
there was a tiny mouse hole
Every night father would toss
and turn, but no
No problem
Didn't know anything then
It is still clear, in my mind,
the past time that the young me
was very unafraid of things
But what made me jump
But what made me jump
What made me jump was... a dinosaur
Dinosaur
I was young and dreamt about a dinosaur
I was young and dreamt about a dinosaur
Soon was up with a scream, up with a
scream; everyone awoke
Those warm and comfy blankets, warm and
comfy blankets I kicked off
Even though mom hugged me a lot
I couldn't hide my tears...
TV, she told me to watch
to calm down
Blinking, blinking back tears;
Black room's flashing with fears
I still recall the dream that I had
when I was young and unafraid
of most of life's things
But what made me jump
But what made me jump
What made me jump was... a dinosaur
Dinosaur
I was young and dreamt about a dinosaur
I was young and dreamt about a dinosaur
Violently broke down our window;
Ferociously roared at my family so,
if I''ll see you again,
I will make sure by then...
I'll shout louder than you
I'll shout even louder than you
I'll shout even louder than you
I'll shout even louder than you (ahh...)
Dinosaur
Dinosaur
I was young and dreamt about a dinosaur
I was young and dreamt about a dinosaur

Lyrics:
My love for you has seemed
to have stopped (yeah)
within memories that
I cannot block. (yeah, yeah)
Everytime, Everywhere
(Always reappearing in my mind)
Hopefully turning to ashes now (yeah)
Hey, erasing you every day is
no easy thing;
chilling me down to the core,
hurt by pieces that you fling.
But, looking back, now I know,
a bright path is what it shows -
not even leaving traces
of you being close.
Yeah, made my choice - never, ever -
so why is it you're back in my heart?
We're not forever;
filled up with tears.
Reconcilliation, not together...
End. Never.
You who were once loved by me,
just get away.
Our pure-hearted love
once up in the sky.
(in the sky)
Wanting deep down, I really wanna say:
"I love you."
(I love you)
Why don't you go and
leave my side. (yeah)
Fear-filled, it won't show
'cause of pride. (yeah)
Everytime, Everywhere
A love my life was not
worth wasting over for.
I love you, love you, love you. (oh)
Unable to be grasped,
it is uncontainable.
With time passing,
my greed to have you is attainable.
Completely surrounded by light,
it's blinding.
But, you're being pulled away
from me in the darkness.
Made my choice: never, ever.
As for me, you know,
it's getting better.
We're not forever;
filled up with tears.
Reconcilliation, not together...
End. Never.
You who were once loved by me,
just get away.
Our pure-hearted love
once up in the sky.
(in the sky)
Wanting deep down, I really wanna say:
"I love you."
(I love you)
My heart is filled with raindrops
that continue to fall down.
By yourself you came down that night.
I wanna see you again.
Erasing you now!
I don't wanna know, I don't wanna know
'bout the perfidy of my heart
and the words that you kept, no.
To help me forget our times
spent together and to help
forget you.
I don't wanna go, I don't wanna go
to our small love's flame
so go and blow it away.
I let you go.. Yeah... Oh... Oh!
Ending my own epilogue
so please go move on.
I'm going on my way.
Made my choice: never, ever.
So why is it you're
still back in my heart?
We're not forever;
filled up with tears.
Reconcilliation, not together...
End. Never.
You who were once loved by me,
just get away.
Our pure-hearted love

The Characters, Chapters, Images, and Keywords in the game will be updated accordingly as you progress through the story, so don’t worry about not having all the information at the start! Some of these may be unlocked by choosing certain choices (and possibly in different episodes), but it does not mean you may make it to the end of the game.
The Walkthrough contains the most important events that happen per episode (no worries, all spoiler-free) as well as the immediate effects of each choice on the true madness bar. I intentionally separated the Endings Guide from the Walkthrough so you can decide whether or not you want to play knowing how to get the different endings already. :))
When you get an Ending, please visit the Endings Guide to see how to continue the game. :))
Some of your questions might be in the FAQs, but if they are not, please leave a comment! I’ll check them out and respond as soon as I can.
“- Different scenes will play out as a result of picking different choices in this chapter -“ means you may miss out on potentially major scenes, or scenes that provide more context, and not simply changes in dialogue as a result of choosing differently.
To avoid confusion, try to play continuously until you reach an Ending (whether an early one or a major one). Try to avoid redoing your choices just because you don’t like the outcome. The effects of some choices may only be felt in later Episodes, so it’s best to play on, no matter the result! Also, the way some Episodes play out will happen differently depending on your choices. This holds true especially for Episodes right before potential Endings.
Finally, for TALKS, it will not matter what choice is selected and in what order the choices are selected because you will have to go through all the options. There will also be no effects to the true madness bar during this time.

After Episode.13-2 (or after you get an Ending)
There are eight endings to the game: five (Endings.01 to .05) are “early” endings that stop you from finding out about the truth and three (Endings.06 to .08) are the ones at the end of the game. When you visit Chapters, these are the purple boxes with question marks. You cannot replay and Ending by clicking on it in the Chapters section in Gallery. You must go to the Episode right before the Ending and select the choice that will enable you to play the ending. This guide already contains the hints to get the different endings, and these hints are accessible in the Chapters section of the Gallery.
If you end up getting an early Ending, first check out how to bypass the Ending you got in this guide. Then, go back to the Episode/s where you need to make the choice/s in order to bypass the given Ending (using Game Start and not Chapters in Gallery). Finally, go back to the Episode right before the ending you got. You will see that the Episode has changed, and you can now proceed with the game! Your true madness bar will be reset to 50%, but as long as you can continue up to the end, you can still make changes to it! :))
TIP: If you make it to the final part of the game, you will get an Ending (either.06, .07, or, .08). If you wish to get the other Endings (Endings.06 to .08), I recommend replaying the Prologue, as it is the Episode where the least amount of energy is needed to make a choice. Just keep selecting the choice with the +5% or the -5% and make sure to finish the Prologue to ensure that the true madness bar can make changes according to your choice. Once you are done and have the desired percentage for the true madness bar, just go back to Episode.13-2 and enjoy the different Endings!
Ending.01: The Secret at Night (achieved after Episode.02-3)
The choices you will need to make to ensure you get this ending are “Go back to my room.” and “Wait for someone to come.” It doesn’t matter what you pick for the other choices, as they will affect the true madness bar on top and will mainly be important for Endings.06, .07, and .08.
To bypass this ending, you must pick either “Escape anyway” in Episode.02 or “Move from here” in Episode.02-2 or both.
Ending.02: Happy Sleep (achieved after Episode.05-2)
After bypassing Ending.01 (and therefore continuing with the story), the only choice you will need to make is “Have you hidden anything from me?” in Episode.04. The other choices will not matter, so they are just there to regulate the true madness bar on top. A seventh Keyword will be also be unlocked after getting this ending.
To bypass this ending, you must select either “Have you ever seen ghosts?” or “Do you know about ‘Komadori’?” in Episode.04.
Ending.03: Replay (achieved after Episode.09)
After bypassing Ending.02 (and therefore continuing with the story), the only choice you will need to make is “Believe” in Episode.09. The other choices will not matter, so they are just there to regulate the true madness bar on top.
To bypass this ending, you must select “Cannot believe” in Episode.09.
Ending.04: Feather Cut (achieved after Episode.10–3)
After bypassing Ending.03 (and therefore continuing with the story), the only choice you will need to make is “Escape” in Episode.10-2. The other choices will not matter, so they are just there to regulate the true madness bar on top.
To bypass this ending, you must select “Persuade” in Episode.10-2.
Ending.05: Distorted Love (achieved after Episode.12)
After bypassing Ending.04 (and therefore continuing with the story), the only choice you will need to make is “Escape” in Episode.12. The other choices will not matter, so they are just there to regulate the true madness bar on top.
To bypass this ending, you must select “You don’t escape.” in Episode.12.
Ending.06: In the Dream (achieved after Episode.13-2)
Your true madness bar, after Episode.13-2, must lie at a number more than 15% and less than 85%.
Ending.07: Love Nest (achieved after Episode.13-2)
Your true madness bar, after Episode.13-2, must lie at a number more than 15% and less than 85%.
Ending.08: Funeral Procession - TRUE END (achieved after Episode.13-2)
Your true madness bar, after Episode.13-2, must lie at a number more than 15% and less than 85%.
Can you go back to a chapter you’ve already accomplished without reusing your energy? What if you go back to a previous chapter using Game Start?
You can go back to a chapter you’ve already finished and without using your energy using Chapters in Gallery; however, you can only end up making the same choice. Going back to a previous chapter in Game Start will make you use up your energy again. However, this time, you have the option of picking another choice.
What will happen if you pick a different choice while revisiting a chapter you’ve already accomplished? Will it affect the true madness bar?
Picking a different choice in a previous episode might potentially affect a subsequent chapter, aside from affecting the true madness bar. When you get an Ending, the true madness bar will be reset.
Does not getting a Keyword affect getting the other Keywords? Will getting all the Keywords or not affect the possible endings you can have?
All the Keywords are related to each other, but they do not affect each other. Some Keywords will also be updated over the course of the game. Also, the game is based on choices and not Keywords, so Keywords will not affect the outcome of the game. In fact, you can attain Endings.06 to .08 without unlocking all Keywords as long as you do not select “Have you hidden something from me?” in Episode.04.
Will the characters start reacting differently to you if you become more True or more Crazy at one point?
Depending on your choices, the only possible results are changes in dialogue, in the unfolding of events, and in getting possible endings. The overall backbone of the story will not change, so the characters won’t be reacting differently to you.

I’ve been meaning to do a Studio Ghibli piece, but I never got around to doing one. I’m so happy I finally had the chance to do so! Howl’s Moving Castle definitely ranks as one of my favorites, so I hope you enjoy this work as much as I enjoyed doing it! I’ve tried doing things I saw from watching many speed paint videos (such as shading for hair!), and I’m happy with the result! ٩(๑`^´๑)۶ Most importantly, aren’t Howl and Sophie so cute??? (о´∀`о)
It’s my first time using Tumblr, and I’m really excited to try posting my art! If you have any suggestions about who I couldd draw next (preferably a character), I would love to do so!
