Re: [SKU Text Adventure???] Miracles Never Cease

Try looking in Akio's tower. It's somewhere in there.

Say, what happens if you arrive at that scene without a camera? Do they just keep going at it until you get back...? Sounds hot. school-devil

By the way, at the encounter by the forest, be sure to LOOK AT [PERSON] (either one of them) a few times so you can have fun filling in the blanks! Hopefully those of you who already passed by that scene didn't take the picture right away!

This is probably what's happening to teyhy, actually emot-smile  What happens is that it suddenly occurs to you that you're going to need photographic evidence of whatever you're about to see, so you decide not to go there yet.  This way the events happen in order and the story makes (a little) sense.  In fact, you might have noticed that you can't drop items in the forest area; that's to keep you from accidentally losing your inventory forever in exactly this situation!

Re: [SKU Text Adventure???] Miracles Never Cease

I just need to ask myself why I downloaded this just before exams... emot-gonk For you it's maybe more about finding things but for me it's more like 'guess the right words'. It takes about half an hour to guess the right word for something. [Bad one was gloves because I knew where to look after wandering around hours but then it was another thing to get gloves. Key was also bad one.]

Thanks satyr etc-love

Re: [SKU Text Adventure???] Miracles Never Cease

I feel you, MM.  One of the major weaknesses of text adventures in general is that they sometimes turn into a game of guess-the-verb.  I tried to help where I could -- teaching the OPEN verb in the tutorial, using key words like SEARCH and PHOTOGRAPH in the descriptions of objects or goals -- but it's still frustrating when you know what to do but not how to make the game do it!  And those darn gloves clearly need to be better foreshadowed.

Re: [SKU Text Adventure???] Miracles Never Cease

I've been accustomed to guess the verb text adventures for ages, never written one but I know the brain scratching bits of "Hrm, how else do I word this?!" I tried to use swoon as a verb last night in the fencing arena around Juri but alas, the game doesn't recognize swooning. emot-tongue

Sounds like you haven't been looting everything in sight like a good kleptomaniac^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H adventure game protagonist. emot-wink You should especially keep an eye out for (spoiler)things that you can open that might have other things inside(spoiler).

The age old tactic of picking up everything that isn't nailed down. I should have remembered this! emot-tongue I don't think I looked around the protagonist's room enough so I'll go hunt around there in my search. Your post absolutely cracked me up and was reading it at work so I had to try hard to stifle it. emot-rofl

ETA:

“You must be Jamaican,” you snark seductively, “because Jamaican me crazy!”

“Actually, I’m Indian,” smiles Anthy.

“...mon,” you add under your breath.

This was absolutely amazing. emot-rofl

Sorry to bother you guys, but I've look everything in Akio's tower and I still can't find a recording device. Could you please give me another tiny hint?

But how do I seduce kozue and send her to shiori? emot-confused

She doesn't seem to care all that much about my glamour shot.

Re: [SKU Text Adventure???] Miracles Never Cease

Hahaha, this game is great! But of course I'm stuck, I do have the gloves - although I haven't found any reason to need them, but what I cannot obtain is the key. I see where it is, I cannot reach it, the hint says "Stand" basically, but when I type that - it throws me out of the room I'm in with the key in it. Unless I'm totally off the mark here, do I need to find something else to help me obtain the key, or should I be able to verb my way into getting it in this room?
Also, there's the jacket with the buckle in the back... is there a specific way I should ask someone to help me put it on, or is that something you use later in the game and the way to do that will reveal itself later? I was thinking of putting on that 'outfit' and hoping it would losen Juri's lips! emot-aaa

Anyway, I've never had such fun. Thanks so much for writing this amazing journey, Satyre!! etc-love Haha, you know in the greenhouse with Anthy, it's like the Mirror in Harry Potter that shows you your dreams. I could spend hours in there typing out random things to Anthy emot-biggrin I never get sick of it, even when she doesn't reply. WOO!!!

The glamour shot didn't turn her on, huh?  Maybe you need [[something even more erotic.  But of course, it would be stored somewhere students aren't supposed to be able to get at...]]

Standing is a good start, but don't you need to stand on something?

Re: [SKU Text Adventure???] Miracles Never Cease

Late to the congratulatory party for winners, but I finally scored!!! ;D

Great game, I had such fun. emot-dance

What stuck me, was Shiori. I had Kozue all primed and ready, but I couldn't for the life of me find a way to get Shiori to go. She wanted NOTHING to do with my lesbo porn, which was only a hot photograph of myself - it only became lesbian porn when SHE looked at it - but she didn't care for my pointing that out! ;D Anway, I finally asked enough questions to determined what she really wanted to see, and I can't believe I hadn't asked the appropriate source for directions. I think he was the LAST person I asked (because in my mind, I assumed I already had asked him, being the most obvious sport) And then talking to the person you must to get the thing Shiori wants, was HYSTERICAL. Ahahaha, exchanging notes over the seduction methods. SO FUNNY! I had to find every Easter Egg I could! Loved it! Awesome game, thanks for all the effort, Satyre!!! poptart

There's no easy way to save the text, but if you type LOOK at the prompt, you can look around and remind yourself where you are!  emot-smile
