I just finished scene 8 and started scene 9.
The interlude between the two scenesā¦
The red background, the comments about a revolution and the world falling apart, and that it would be better if Setsuna just kept sleepingā¦ I wonder what that was all about!
I made it past the choices and got an interesting scene. I also went back and did the bad ending.
How do we count the scenes after the choices? What scene am I on now?
@Boodil have you gone past the choices yet? I donāt want to say too much or show too much and ruin it for you!
Nah, I spent nearly the entire last week camping, so no progress. And now I need to solve my texthooker problems first before I can get started again, so thank you for masking spoilers. I donāt now yet how long itās going to take me to get started and catch up again unfortunately.
I guess just count vertically, taking the shortest path. Like the difference choices lead you both to scene 8, 8a and 8b
I think the scene before the choices was scene 9, so letās call the choices scene 10. Scene 11 is the first scene in the vertical line below the choices. That means that Iām currently on scene 12.
And if I look at your flowchart, then the whole route is 17 scenes.
Do you remember if the last few scenes are long? I feel like we have covered so much now. Donāt know how much more can be revealed! I guess Iāll find out as I go along!
Yes I remember but I almost donāt want to tell you, are you sure you donāt want to just find out by yourself?
Donāt stress yourself too much about when you finish route A, schedule or whatnot, enjoy the reading 
(or course if you insist Iām willing to tell you, I just think youāll enjoy it even more if you donāt know before going in. I think itās one of the beauty of the format. Think of when you read a book. You can see how many pages are in your hands, 150 more to go, but they announce the culprit has been found. Hmm for sure thereās more to it because the book is not yet finished. But if you didnāt know how many pages there are to go, wouldnāt that be a pretty cool surprise?)
Thank you! OK, Iāll try not to be too impatient. Try!
Youāre probably right. And yes, Iāll try to not stress about the schedule. I do want to finish this, and I know I wonāt be able to do so by the end of July. Guess Iāll just sit back and enjoy the ride!
Youāre going at a great pace already, plenty enough to enjoy the story 
and the more you read, the more you will be able to read a bit faster!
How are you doing with the final route? Are you happy with how everything is explained? Have you had some surprises along the way? (no spoilers please, if you can avoid it!)
Hehe yes, Iām loving it! Quite a few reveals already, some things are explained, some got more confusing lol. To quote Sestuna:
ćā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ć
ā¦ā¦ć¾ć ć ć諦ćććŖć
I think Iām only half way or something, so hopefully more will be explained!
If you want a funny anecdote: (I donāt think itās a spoiler but just in case Iāve added tags if you donāt want to know anything about that yet) remember the CD that he was hiding this body behind in the first scene? he finally remembers about it and ask to have it. When the officer hands it to him, I got so excited I actually clapped my hands and everything 
Hehe, I have been wondering about that. Glad to hear that he remembers in the final route!
I just finished Route B today. Iām so sorry I have been so absent you guys 
I had so many things I had to take care of these recent months, change of schedules, and so on. I kept reading thinking āI should updateā¦ tomorrowā and here I am.
Iāll try to properly read the thread and wrap up my thoughts so far if I can tomorrow, then hopefully I can post normally for Route C. Enjoying the game a lot so far by the way 
.
Iām so glad that youāre here reading with us!
Another 5000 characters read today, and I reached a new scene. If scene 11 is the first one after the choices then Iām on scene 13 now.
Setsuna and Karen, lost on the ocean, trying to escape the island. Wonder where theyāll end up (my best guess is that theyāll soon be on the research station! Weāll seeā¦
I read all the choices and the bad ending inside the choices. The big difference between the bad ending and the rest of the choices is that Setsuna told Karen that he loved her. And when Karenās father came over, she hid behind Setsuna. In the bad ending, Karen had to face her father by herself, without Setsuna. I canāt stop thinking about how that one small choice changes the whole rest of the storyā¦
So close to the sea station, but still not insideā¦And how did they get back to the island? Both this time and earlier, when they swam out there and almost drowned?
The police to the rescue againā¦
I donāt remember 
I donāt remember if itās explained later or if I just didnāt think about it!
Checking in with everybody 
@rikaiwisdom I still hope you will post your thoughts, very curious!
@Boodil have you found a way to play again?
@AzusaChan are you coming back to ISLAND when you will be done with Automne?
As for me I think Iām maybe only one week away to finish the last routeā¦! Couldnāt be more excited, I started this thing almost one year ago 
(so compared to me you are going very fast @Marifly )
Iām having so much fun with Island! Not dropping it any time soon. Not sure how long it will take me though. Shorter than a year, but longer than the schedule in the club.
I might change my mind later, but for now I want to play to 100% completion. Iām a completionist by heart, and it would bug me to no end if I come to the āendā and itās only 90% doneā¦
How about you, @Akashelia? Do you plan to play to 100% complete? Or will you stop after the last route?
100% for sure many reasons, Iām enjoying it, and also because Iām a bit of a completionist too and because I also see it as studying = improving my Japanese.
I also couldnāt resist and bought the soundtrack on Steam one day where it was on sale, so whenever Iām all done with it I can still listen to the soundtrack from time to time and feel nostalgic
