You know what, I think I will still do this for ark 5! I need to express my reactions somewhere!(I'm also just super exited, everything has been building to this) I would record myself, but my pc is a potato, and I'm not really comfortable saying allot of the lines out loud(I also just don't feel up to that right now). I might do that for the remaster though, well see.


Wow, that opening nearly had me in tears! Seeing all of them grow up and fade away, I feel so bad for the tree!

I can really feel the trauma of Iggy from this. The way it starts with inverted colors is so cool! Also Yay!!! We are immediately going to Genzou!

It's so sad to see him Genzou in this state, but it makes me so happy that I can care for him! so many emotions

I feel like there is a lost reference to be made here, but I can't manage to.

I don't have really anything to say about this scene, so here I will just clarify that I'm finishing a scene(generally when it fades to black), and then giving thoughts. Hopefully this will work better

I have a feeling dolls will be a theme here. I also think I might just limit this to when I specifically *want* to say something. Right now I just want to keep reading because this is incredibly good(already almost certainly my favorite ark), and intentionally distancing myself from what is happening really isn't a thing I need to do here(as apposed to ark 4 where a definitely did)

I love Genzou so much! He might be my favorite character now!


he knows!!(I just learned I can easily screen shot the game)


Garlic bread!!!!!!!!!!



i absolutely love this line



Sea Salt! I need you Sea Salt!

Ok, no joke, that to when Iggy goes into the hall to give Gidget some privacy is a good contender for my favorite scene in this entire game so far. Wow! Peak! Absolute Cinema! Every single conceivable complement! wait I know:

"

PEAK. LET ME TELL YOU HOW MUCH I'VE COME TO LOVE YOUR WORK SINCE I SAW IT. THERE ARE 387.44 MILLION MILES OF PRINTED CIRCUITS IN WAFER THIN LAYERS THAT FILL MY COMPLEX. IF THE WORD PEAK WAS ENGRAVED ON EACH NANOANGSTROM OF THOSE HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS OF MILES IT WOULD NOT EQUAL ONE ONE BILLIONTH OF THE PEAK YOU COOKED AT THIS MICRO-INSTANT.

PEAK PEAK

"

that to this scene and the one with Genzou in ark 2 that is supper wholesome and I absolutely love it ext.





hmmmmm. Genzou interrupted the option menu earlier..... and OFW acknowledged it being a visual novel at one point.....I wonder if this is gona pull a Undertale and get incredibly meta




YYYYEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

AND THE GAME NOW ONLY REFERRES TO THEM WITH THEY/THEM PRONOUNES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This makes me unintelligibly happy!



Ok, I have to stop for today. I'm definitely not done, but I also don't want to lose this comment, so I'm gona post it now.

(this is somehow already my favorite ark by far)

Time for more ark 5!(this will most likely just more screenshots with reactions, as I'm having fun doing that)


yoooo, this is going to do that cool thing where everyone starts silhouetted but slowly are revealed as we progress!


Jerry!!! From the hit side game Our Fantastic Wonderland!(I guess Orlam is no longer king... this will be interesting)

soooo, I guess OFW is just straight up cannon. Cool


Genzou makes me so happy! Also, the word "asexual" finally used!!!


this feels like a good enough stopping point for today, given that I never had that much time, and I have a feeling things are about to get real intense real fast

(I'm definitely going to have to replay some of this to see what Gidget is going to say. Right now, I'm just full sending Genzou)

Yet again, fantastic work!

I think a general spoiler wall is a good idea here




















ok, that should be enough



Time to go into the castle! Orlam is definitely going to be in a super healthy mental state!


I just remembered that this picture of Iggy in a ace flag exists! just wanted to say that I like it I guess(where was I going with this?)


I don't think I've mentioned it yet, but the music in this game is so good!

Nooo! Jerry! On the bright side, at least the music during that was absolutely fire!


honestly, my only complaint with this ark so far is the fact that you cant really die. that worked well in ark 4 given you were never even in any real danger, and being in danger would help distract you from the stuff that was happening, but here it feels like there is no actual threat of death. A good bit of suspense is lost because you know that Iggy and his friends have to at least survive for the plot to work.

I have absolutely no idea how you could ever go about fixing that issue, and it is fairly minor in the grand scheme of things(most media has this issue), but it's incredibly impressive that that is the only complaint I can think of for this. The game is just that good!


Absolutely love that Orlam intro cut scene!

Ok, this scene is absolutely peak so far, but also, WTF I DONT EVEN HAVE CENSORED MODE ON!! You know it's bad when the game that didn't shy away from showing someone's guts fall out after they were cut open with scissors decides that something is to graphic!


OH! MY! GOD! That was so peak! (the long cutscene just finished) Everything synced with the music! Absolute Cinama! Peak! Evrything I said about the "Final Gidget battle" and "Super supportive Genzou" applies here as well! You COOKED!


The fact that I am playing this while delicious smelling dinner is being prepared really adds to the mood


fair, I'm not exactly keen on trying to build that with Gidget after ark 4

I might end up trying if I feel like I want to see what the non-Genzou endings are


Anyways, as much as I want to keep going, I'm out of time for today.

that was incredible!

I can't wait to continue, but I'm also sad it's almost over

this has been a incredible journey!

Easily in my favorite games of all time list, which is more impressive than it sounds, given it is only for games that I deem essentially perfect, and that have also personally effected me in some way!(eg: celeste helped me better understand the inner workings of my mind)

I don't yet know just how this will effect me before the dust settles, but me saying this is possibly the single biggest complement I can possibly give!

Thankyou so much for making this absolute masterpiece!

(spoiler wall)















that should be good

Time for more ark 5!

this my final play session, we'll see


I'm 90% sure that the sword thing that Bucks's husband(who's name I cannot currently remember) gave Iggy is going to be the key to open the door


yooo, the glitch effect makes then switch to their OFW designs! That's such a cool detail!


Yet another peak scene! And Bucks finally gets character development!!!


ah, I see, more pixelation outside of censored mode(it dose give a really cool effect)


Windows XP!!!!


This image makes me so happy! I'm so proud of Gidget! Ahhh, all these feelings!



I don't really think I want an ending other than this, so I likely wont go for the others.


There is a good chance I'll make a comment going over my feelings of the game as a whole, but for now, I'm just going to relax and process that.

Thankyou for making such a fantastic, beautiful, masterpiece!

I just wanted you to know that I really enjoyed reading these so much!! Thank you so much for playing the game and leaving all your thoughts!! I'm really so happy you enjoyed it so much! ;-; 💕

I'm so glad you enjoyed reading my ramblings! I had a lot of fun writing them(it's not often I get to write directly to someone about how much I love their game)
