T-Force sort of spoiled stuff, but I'd avoid it. Nobody likes spoilers

It just means I'm going to use spoiler tags. I don't know the entire game because there's a bunch of hours of content. The way the story is handled kinds of remind me of Persona tbh, but the gameplay is very different.

I don't have a full picture of it still yet because I haven't seen the entire game.

I didn't know that's what the game was based on, so I can't help you there Haku.

Here's pmuch what I know and where I'm coming from with this game:

You're like fighting monsters on 2 screens at same time using 2 characters with different abilities who can only help each others with fusions and you must complete tasks during a set amount of time.

You only have to win on one side of the screen to win the fight.

It's pretty close to a rhythm game (@ timing), a J-RPG(levels/gear) and a VN(story/CG effects) at same time.

You're fighting in an alternate universe of a town named Shibuya where you can only communicate with Players, Reapers, Proxy(?) (I havent got there yet) and the Composer @ Mr H -> (Sanae Hanekoma) who is T-Force's avatar. It's safe to assume that something abnormal happened to the town and that "we" must do something about it.

I picked an avatar of Neku Sakuraba because he's kinda asocial and had issues communicating and listening to others. I thought it was funny because I believe it's relevant to my own issues when it comes to TWG.

Neku is initially the main character of the game and starts by being confused and making a pact with Shiki to unlock the use of pins to do special abilities and complete missions to avoid being erased. She seems to already know how the game works and helps him overall to get a grasp of what to do. They also have a timer that appear on their hands and if it reaches 0, they just get erased. (game over)

You eventually learn about "memes" and "imprinting memes" where Neku can mind control the other players and make them want to do something based on what the story wants.

He can also scan for detecting "noise" which are the enemies in this game who tries to make everyone erased from this world for unknown reasons.

Reapers comes into that because they have as goal to erase players from the game for unknown reasons as well and the Composer seems to be the arbiter behind all of this.

I haven't seen more than that about this game yet. I was watching a let's plays before the game started. I believe they meet more players @ Beat/Rhyme and the game eventually get somewhere even more interesting too.

Probably going to just focus on TWG from this point. It's just that I like lore and I wish we played more around that when we do thematic TWG games @ (Fire Emblem/Ace Attorney). It feels more productive than shitposting to me.

what a strange game

I'm biased towards Namco because I played alot of those games as a kid (I think I go on about that in one of the failed runs) but I highly recommend it if you like fast paced puzzle games.

Shit's legit

Unrelated:

I'd like to know if this game has no-lynch/no-kill.
I also think it should get stickied etc.

Hello I am Hakulyte-lite for the game and this is already difficult

I'm pretty sure somewhere between 2 and 4 of the 13 players, including me (change this to between 3 and 3 if not including me), who are listed for playing this """"reapers game"""" are secretly wolves and we just haven't realized them yet

I motion we make an effort to find out who these 2-4 people are by means of posting in emoticons to reflect our current mental state, since wolves have peculiar emotions, and since nobody would ever lie on the internet we can take these emotions at face value to find the wolves

Here's mine:
