Let's Play OFF: Completed!

Here we are—the purified zone 3.





This place no longer has any of those paths, so you can walk anywhere now.


In the room where Zacharie was, there's a chest.

A Colour of Force has been found.

Purification in progress...


Ah, looks like these are the Secretaries of the area.

Secretary (x1)
Demonical, humanoid spirit.
HP: 3500 / CP: 0
Light weakness against plastic
Light resistance against smoke

These guys have a couple new attacks: Vertical Limit, which does damage, and Division by zero, which destroys the universe has a chance of poisoning you or putting you to sleep.

Adversaries purified.
3500 experience points gained.
700 Credits received.
Omega Level 14 achieved.

And thankfully, that doesn't teleport us out of the area anymore, so let's head to the west dorms.


Nothing here. Let's take a look at the east dorms then.


Ah. A door.




Seems that's lead us to Area 2.
There's nothing in the houses Zacharie was in, so let's go to the Treatment Rooms.




Seems the Dead Guy Powder's still here.


Seems I can get that chest that I went over last update, as well as a new one.

A Fortune ticket has been found.
A Tibia Epidermis has been found.

Let's check that out then.

Tibia Epidermis: Defensive equipment (2) for Add-Ons

I don't believe Epsilon has any second-level defensive equipment, so let's give that to him then go out the door.






Area 3.








Jump?
> Yes
No



No mini-game this time, just down the chimney with us.


Huh. Nothing here.



Jump?
> Yes
No


Well, now let's save and heal then head off to Area 4 to collect our prize.



Adversaries purified.
3500 experience points gained.
700 Credits received.
The Batter Level 16 achieved.
Save Third Base has been acquired.
Alpha Level 15 achieved.
Long Chain has been acquired.
Epsilon Level 15 achieved.
Experienced Drama has been acquired.

...WELL, that was an eventful battle! Let's check out all our new competences.

Save Third Base: Restores all HP
Long Chain: Special attack of important impact
Experienced Drama: Increases an ally's intelligence lightly

Those all sound quite useful. I'm guessing "intelligence" here means the power of their competences.


All of these doors do nothing except... remember the one that was blocked with bricks before?


Yeah.

A Yoshihiro Bat has been found.

I'll equip that to the Batter, thank you very much.

Adversaries purified.
3500 experience points gained.
700 Credits received.
Abaddon's meat received.
Omega Level 15 achieved.
Frontal Perspective has been acquired.
Frontal Perspective: Cures Fury, Madness, and Palsy

Sounds useful.
At the end of the hallway we find...



Two Expirations have been found.
Expiration: Object that's utilisable in combat.

So basically a more powerful Inspiration. Oh yeah, if I haven't mentioned yet, I found out what Inspirations do; they just do damage to enemies.

So new let's head to the H room.


There's nothing here, it seems. I just had a look around. However, while doing so I noticed that when an enemy is taken by surprise, not only are you immediately allowed to flee, but you will be allowed to attack immediately (rather than waiting for your half-full meter to go up) and multiple times before your adversary responds. Now let's head to Enoch's floor.


Heheh. This room has eyes and a moustache.   


It's kinda creepier having all these notes here with nothing written on them...


An arrow?


It's just... empty.





Ah. It loops.
After trying out multiple directions, I found what to do: Head down and to the left in the most diagonal line you can and you'll come across a room that looks exactly like the one before it...


But inside you'll find...


What we've been looking for.

A Tuesday has been found.
The Grand Spectral has been found.

Let's check those out.

Tuesday: Equipment that reduces the consumption of CP
Grand Spectral: A bizarre object, associated with smoke.

I think this is our first specially smoke thing. Anyway, equipping the Tuesday to Epsilon and moving the Friday to Omega. And for no reason in particular, I guess we'll give the Thursday to Alpha, just cuz it needs a home.

Now let's return to the nothingness and go to...


Zone 0. There's something I wanna show you here.


It's nice to finally come back to a peaceful place... unpurified, no enemies, calming music... Ah.


Let's head up the ladder first and remember our first puzzles with Judgie.





Man, those feel like months ago. (They were.)
And hey, look who's waiting for us!

I haven't seen Pablo for some time now... I hope he's fine.

He's now selling some incredibly expensive and incredibly useful stuff. He carries Expirations and a few new things. Quite a few.

Lewis Bat: Offensive equipment for the Batter
Luminous Symbol: Offensive equipment for Add-Ons
Boastful Symbol: Offensive equipment for Add-Ons
Aura of Tenacity: Defensive equipment (1)
Taiyou Tunic: Defensive equipment (2) for the Batter
Fibula Epidermis: Defensive equipment (2) for Add-Ons
Colour of Defeat: Defensive equipment (3)

I bought the Taiyou Tunic, a Fibula Epidermis for each Add-On, a Boastful Symbol for Epsilon, an Aura of Tenacity for Omega, and a Colour of Defeat for each team member, having to sell some stuff on the way.

There's nothing here up north, so let's head back south to what we're here for...


This room.


There's now some stairs here. Let's see where they lead.

music:

...
I'm ignoring...
Why everything's so frightening.
I'm never hungry,
:-)
Think of something beautiful really hard, and maybe you will see it tomorrow.
Who are you?
Like a beautiful day, for example.
With a huge ducky.
A frightening one.
What are you doing here?
Let's not lose
any time
to useless introductions.
Let's dance, my dear friend.
:-)

Purification in progress...



Sugar (x1)
???
HP: ??? / CP: ???
No weakness/resistance

Dummie (x4)
Delicious, sugary candy.
HP: ??? / CP: ???
No weakness/resistance

Yes, this is Sugar—or as most folks in the fandom call her, Sucre. She has many attacks, and those things hanging off her hands, the Dummies, have more. They should be quick to take out with Epsilon. Their attacks are Sick Mask, Blind Mask, Sympathetic Mask, and Loose Mask. No clue what they do. Sucre's attacks, on the other hand, are much more definite: She has Quarte Quarts, which is a plain damaging move; Hard-bitten Caramel, which can paralyze you; Dame Blanche, which can drive you mad; Mille-Feuilles, which can make you furious; and Parfait au Chocolat, which can attack multiple team members. She's incredibly strong; you'll want to bring along plenty of healing items, and you'll likely make use of Save Third Base here. In this battle, your bars will fill up incredibly slow; for this battle only, they seem to crawl. You do not have the option to flee at all. If you do not bring any curing items and your Omega is palsied early into the battle, you're basically screwed.

Adversaries purified.
30000 experience points gained.
5000 Credits received.
Grand Chocolatier received.
The Batter Level 19 achieved.
Alpha Level 18 achieved.
Omega Level 17 achieved.
Epsilon Level 18 achieved.



I'm feeling way too cold...
I didn't like that dance...
...my dear friend.
:-(
...
I think the huge, frightening ducky has won this round.
Say goodbye to Zacharie for me.

You read that right.
We just killed Zacharie's girlfriend.



...
I guess it's better like that.
...




Let's check out that item Sucre gave us.

Grand Chocolatier: A bizarre object, associated with sugar.

I see.
Well, we've covered all four zones! Zone 0, zone 1, zone 2, zone 3... there's no more zones now, right? So why doesn't the game just end? What are we to do next?

Well, you may remember that Enoch gave us a passcard... but don't those let us go to the next zone? Indeed they do. But the Aquarius-card... well, that takes us somewhere else.



Aquarius-card: Permits access to The Room

The Room. We'll be going there next.
But of course, there isn't going to be an update tomorrow, so you're gonna have to wait.   
That's all for now. Have a very merry Christmas, everybody.

Enter The Room?
> Yes
No

music:

This is it. The final push.

music:

This place is... unsettlingly empty.


Are those... chairs? I can't tell, we can't examine them.


Uh. A bedroom? Let's check those things on the wall.


Oh god, not one of these again.   
Hang on, what does that say at the bottom?

Zacharie is the best guy (a?) know, he is so (sympathetic?). He's a friend.

...It's something about Zacharie, definitely, but I can't tell exactly what it says. I'm pretty sure I got it wrong.

Well, nothing else for us here, so I guess we should head out.


...Um.


It's... a smiley?
Let's just... head back out the door at the bottom...   


...Oh.
Let's read the poster.

I don't like this place a lot.
Luckily, Papa is here.
Today we played together.
He offered me a comic.
He told me that I was ill,
so I had to take pills.

Well, guess we should head back out and see what the chairs do this time.


...Huuuuh?

Let's... head back in?


fUCK

Purification in progress...

music:

...WHAT THE FUCK ARE THESE THINGS   

Bear (x8)
Carnivorous mammal with thick fur.
HP: 200 / CP: 10
No weakness/resistance

...tHEY DON'T LOOK LIKE NO FUCKING BEARS TO ME THEY LOOK LIKE THE DEVIL'S CHILDREN
Anyway, they don't have much HP, so Epsilon should help a ton here. They attack pretty dang fast though, and in large numbers, so watch out. They also have a liking for blinding you.

Adversaries purified.
2240 experience points gained.
560 Credits received.
Silver flesh received.
Silver flesh received.
Silver flesh received.
Omega Level 18 achieved.


Well, that was a treat... Let's head back in and hope we don't get attacked by evil devil hellhound chairs or something.


Awww, it's alright chairs, I didn't mean it, we're here for you D:


...Um. Hello.

It's inanimate.

Ah.
So, through the... door...?

music:

And suddenly... our world's been drawn by a child?
It's kinda cute. This music is somehow calming.


I wonder if it continues.


It does! :D
In... exactly the same room. Huh.
Let's keep looping, I guess.







This isn't going anywhere. Let's head back.



Papa said that we're going outside to play tomorrow.



What was that all about?   

music:

Lots of music tracks in this place. I like this one. It's quiet.



I have a feeling the other side of this door is somewhere different.


...Nope. Just rearranged. And windows! Socles! Yay!




This room is... real now.
Huh.




...Whoa.
Seems we can choose anywhere that includes a big red dot. The choices are:

The Room
The Tall Mister
The Bird
The Big Mister

And up on the sun...

Mama

We'll go in order. I think you guys can tell who each of those people are.

The Tall Mister?
> Yes
No

music:

Whoa. This is different. And... is this a slowed version of the Post Office track?
Let's head inside.


Checking the clock...

It's nine o'clock.

And now let's talk to this familiar fellow.

Finally, somebody! You would think that there's no one left on Earth anymore...
Finally...
...Did he just say...?
Anyhow, I'm glad to see you, my boy.
I got bitten by a cow, the pain is hard to bear.
Plus, it's been nine o'clock for awhile now.
I don't like that at all.
What're you doing here, by the way?
This ain't really a place for you.
Ah! But no, for God's sake, don't cry...
Everything's fine, come on, calm down.
Here, dry your tears with my coat.
This is only the beginning, it can only get better from now on.
This is a new Dedan. ._.
So, do you wanna be a nice boy and try to find something for me?
I'd like to know what day it is, since it's been today for awhile... Hasn't it?

So that's it. We have to find the day. Let's head out.


You can't go any further down, it just takes you back to the map. However, if you go back to The Room...


You can tear the page off the wall, which I didn't show because I didn't know it gave me the option until I'd already done it.   


Now that we're back at the gentlemanly Dedan's lovely place, let's give him the calendar.

Hey, say, that's a calendar page, ain't it?
Gimme that!
There's the rude Dedan we know. Not exactly an angry one, though.
...
I suppose it's not all that important.
Finally, I suppose it isn't that day anymore anyways.
He says "finally" a lot.
Your mother?
Our mother? Batter has a mother?   
Don't worry, she'll come back soon, she's just off to see the new world.
She's someone really important, you know.
Once she's back she'll revive all of this, everything'll work again.
We'll reconstruct everything, solely with our bare hands.
No exhaustion shall stop us, we'll be the future's builders.
It's gonna be great, you'll see! We'll ride pedalos together.
CAN YOU IMAGINE DEDAN ON A PEDALO THOSE THINGS ARE TINY
Have ya ever ridden a pedalo?
Bah, it's awesome, you'll see.
Here, take this in the meantime. I don't think I need it anymore.
Thanks for the calendar.

A book with an unreadable title has been found.
A Wednesday has been found.

Book: The cover says "Title illegible"
Wednesday: Equipment that protects you from harmful ground

There's harmful ground here? Huh. Well, let's equip it to Batter just in case.


Now for The Bird.

The bird?
> Yes
No

music:

It's Japhet.

What is that in your arms?
Is that perhaps a book?
It looks highly interesting, I say.
Be careful with it.

He doesn't have much more to say, so let's had to the Big Mister.

music:

Eh! You, down there, come here!

Enoch still looks menacing as ever.

Hehe, hey, little one, I'm stuck...
...can you help me get out of here?
...
I suppose not.
If you go look for someone to help me, I'll bake you some cakes!
They are going to be delicious, you'll see.
And we'll tell each other jokes.
Go find help, I beg you.

I think I know just the bird.



What is that in your arms?
Is that a book?
What? A big mister, stuck in a hole?
Calm down, I do not understand a bit of what you are telling me...
If you hand me that book, I will agree to help your friend...

> Okay
No

Superb!
Well, let me see what we can do for that big mister.








Voilà, the big mister is free.
We will be waiting for you in the cottage, in the west of this canyon.
Meet us down there, and be careful not to fall...

He flies away and...

A Saturday has been found.
Saturday: Equipment that increases agility

Nice. Well, as the nice birdie said, let's go to Dedan's cottage.



Hehe, thanks boy.
I see we can count on you.
Thanks for the book, in these times of misery, it is a very precious treasure.
Hahaha. What a clever li'l rascal we've here.
Until your mother arrives, maybe we could keep you company...
We can discuss about time and the fate of the world.
Maybe we could even dare to sketch out the maps of the countries that'll soon be ours...
What do you think, little one?
A future where every one of us will be guardians of universal happiness!
Where every man'll have a job, and actively participate to maintain harmony.
Where it will be allowed to dream of a happier life at any moment, and where our sons can touch our hope.
Of course, you do not understand a lot of this grown-up talk...
You rather should forget our words, the first, bright stars in the dark of the world.
So, go on out. Have fun. Benefit from this new country, which will soon be reborn from the still warm ashes.
You have no time to lose! No need to listen to the lyrical babble of three crazy utopists.
Ahahaha...

A Secret day has been found.
Secret day: Equipment preventing poison, mute, and blindness.

Let's talk to them all one last time, see what they have to say.

I promised you cakes, and I keep my promises! You will be swimming in an ocean of sweets soon!

No worry shall reign in my kingdom, for I will wipe the tears off the faces of my subjects.

And finally...

The future only waits if we trace it, and just our arms and our efforts'll make it a heaven on Earth.

Now let's head out to visit...


Our mother.



Hello, mama.
Papa left.
I don't like him anyways.
I hope you'll be back soon.
I made three friends today.



The tall mister told me that he'd take me on a pedalo ride, and that we'd all work together to build the world.



The little bird told me that he'd show me the sky and the clouds, and that I wouldn't have to be scared ever again.



The big mister told me he'd bake me cakes.

Today was a good day.










...



Please come back soon...

Let's begin the next chapter of our journey.

music:

...Um.

New Game
> Continue
Quit


...My thoughts exactly, question marks.
Let's... choose the one we... were doing... anyway?

...There's only three, I had nine.   
Let's just choose the first one then.





Ah.


Um... how should we do this...?
Bedroom first, I guess.



Papa gave me a music box today.



A day like no other.
Nothing to say about this Sunday.
Es all.

No clue if that last line is right. Anyway, let's head through the door south of the bedroom.
...The game froze on me.   

Going through a second time, it turns out those red tiles damage you D:
Wish there was a Wednesday for every team member.

So going into that door on the top...


We finally meet somebody! :D

What day is it today?

Sunday the 11th of February
Sunday the 18th of March
Sunday the 30th of April
Sunday the 3rd of June

That calendar back there said it was March I believe, so I'll say that one.

Yes! That's it, bravo.
Here, take this as a reward.

A Mysterious Symbol has been found.
Mysterious Symbol: Offensive equipment for Add-Ons

Let's equip that to Epsilon and head out that door to the left.


Oh boy... Look familiar?
Let's head in that door on the left.



Which station can I find metal in the stomach of cattle at?

Pentel
Damien
Elsen
Alma

Aaaaand thanks to the magic of LPing, I can just look back at wherever the hell that was. (It was Pentel, waaaay back in part four.)

Yes! That's it, bravo.
Here, take this as a reward.

An Aura of Power has been found.
Aura of Power: Defensive equipment (1)

Let's equip that to Batter then head to the next door in the hallway.



Which of these books cannot be read at the library?

Tales and Legends
Written by E.S.
Directions
The Up Children Down

I'm... just gonna guess Tales and Legends.
Pro tip: Don't guess Tales and Legends. @_@

They apparently don't let you play until "tomorrow" if you get it wrong, but let's just use the magic of resetting to fix that.

And of course, it's the last one I try, Directions. I think it's cuz I remembered there being a book that was always upside-down that told you the directions, but now that I think about it that might've been called the Cardinal Directions.

Yes! That's it, bravo.
Here, take this as a reward.

The Eighth Colour has been found.
Eighth Colour: Defensive equipment (3)

Let's equip that to Batter as well.
Now up at the top of the room, there's something we have to look at:




I have the impression that this is important...

If Batter thinks it is, then it must be. Let's keep that in mind for awhile.
Now let's head into the next room!


...Okay, THAT is really frickin' jerkish, that setup right there.

Can you give me the secret code to the warehouse?

Van Gocy
Van Gacy
Von Gocy
Von Gacy

...THEY CAN'T BE SERIOUS WITH THAT
After some careful scrutiny of the lettering, I've determined it to be the last one.

Yes! That's it, bravo.
Here, take this as a reward.

A Bleeding Symbol has been found.

How appropriate. Let's take a look at it.

Bleeding Symbol: Offensive equipment for Add-Ons.

Equipping that to Epsilon, moving the Mysterious Symbol to Alpha, and giving Omega the Boastful Symbol. Now let's head back and see if that door will—whoooooa!

Purification in progress...


The, uh... music is... absent. Should note, the game does have the tendency to not play the music sometimes, and it does it consistently with the same tracks no matter how many times you start it up unless you log out and back on. I'm just gonna assume it was the same battle music as the last update.

Now let's get the Wide Angle on this tub of lard.

Obese Spectre (x1)
Overweight ectoplasmic incarnation.
HP: 500 / CP: 60
Light weakness against smoke

Simple enough to defeat, didn't even get a chance to attack and THANK GOD THE MUSIC'S BACK THAT WAS AWKWARD.

Adversaries purified.
940 experience points gained.
290 Credits received.

As I was saying, let's head back and hope this door works now.


...I DON'T FUCKING WANT THAT DOOR TO FUCKING WORK WHAT THE FUCK
And of COURSE his eyes have to follow us. Let's, uh, talk to him?

Hello. How are you today?
Tell me a random number...


Um. I think I know which number to enter. On a hunch, of course.

Bravo, that's absolutely correct.

Uh... thanks dude. Guess he doesn't have anything for us.


Uh.
Oh, it seems that the metal boulder moves in whatever direction you move as long as you're on top of those plus sign things. You have to get it in the hole.


Uh, okay.



Very well, let's try another one...

> 3755

No... That's not it...

...Maybe backwards?

No... That's not it...

...Maybe in descending order by height on the wall?   
Noooope. Well, I'm stumped.

Let's go back to the beginning and try the next save block, I guess.

music:

...Fuck.



...You can walk through them?
Odd.


...This is unsettling.


Into the cage, I guess.
...The game froze. ._.

Well, guess we'll just do it all again then go through the other door this time...


...Um. Well. (Ignore the thing at the bottom of the images in this room, the game froze before coming in it so I had to restart it, which ended up making my window move... then I forgot to take a screenshot of the new window position first and instead took a screenshot of the last position... and then the game froze again while exiting the next room.   )
If you stand on the pad things and press the spacebar...

This panel seems to be able to subside into the ground...

> Push it down
Do nothing

I'm just gonna push them all down and see what happens.
...Nothing. Maybe if we quickly glance at an online guide to find out that you have to push down all the panels that correspond to the leaves that were facing right on that card we found...


It works! What a totally unexpected miracle! :D
And it seems we can finally enter the cage without it crashing, soooo...


...I don't know what I expected.
Anyway, nothing appears to happen in here, so let's go back to the first block and see if that number works.



> 5865

Bravo, that's perfect.
Here, take this, you've done well.

The Sagittarius-card has been found.
Sagittarius-card: Permits access to The Room (again)

...  

Well, uh, let's try out block three.


...Um.
Well, the controls aren't messed up, at least. Up is still up.




...Ow, my head. e_e
Let's read that poster thing.

"The centaure of the bow
shall be the mount of the
one who seeks the exit."

Uh... sure. Let's go with that.


Nothing new in here.
Let's head out the top door.


...Oh.







...You guys saw that too, right? o.O

Anyway, let's try out that number from that one puzzle thing before in here.


Whaddaya know. It worked.
I expect something weird to happen outside now.


Nope.



Today, papa gave me a comic.
But I want to go out and play.
I hate this place.
I'm sure mom will pick me up.




O... kaaaaay...















I can't tell if there's no music for atmosphere or because the game's glitching out again.
(Going through a second time I found that there is music in here; it's Silence, a track from last update.)


A book. Odd.

It's... an old comic...

Read it?
> Yes
No

music:

Panic in Ballville

Boxxer
What a beautiful day.

Boxxer
Ballville is peaceful today.

Boxxer
Let's hope that nothing will ruin that sweet blue color in this wonderful sky.



Ballman
Ahaha, you're forgetting my diabolical genius!

Ballman
...And my new invention! The cloning machine!

Ballman
I filled Ballville with clones of my evil self, there is no way to stop us now, Boxxer!

Ballman
And I've also kidnapped your little girlfriend.

Boxxer
Oh no.

Boxxer
Maybe it isn't such a good day after all...



Mission number 64.
- - - - - - - - -
Clean Ballville of all of the
evil Ballman clones! Quick!



Boxxer
Ohlala, what a mess!

Boxxer
I'd better hurry.

Purification in progress...



So yes, you basically just charge through this part of the game and dodge the clones. If they make contact with you, you battle. It's pretty simple, a single attack seems to down them. You even have all your items, which makes me wish I hadn't sold all my Eyes to Zacharie because you don't have Wide Angle here.

Adversaries purified.
Belial's meat received.
Fortune ticket received.





Boxxer
Zounds, this is a real invasion!

Ballman
Ahaha, this is your end Boxxer, you buttocks avenger!

...Buttocks avenger? What the fuck?



Just use the Bomb competence here. Trust me, it's easier.

Adversaries purified.
Belial's meat received.
Fortune ticket received.
Fortune ticket received.



Ballman
This task is even impossible for a superhero!

Ballman
You have no chance to succeed!

Boxxer
No! ...Daisy!






...
This is really stupid.

My thoughts exactly. e_e



Today, mom finally picked me up.


ZACHARIE   

The end is near, my friend.
I believe what's floating behind you is the final save block. Perhaps it would be wise to record your progress one last time...
Before you enter that door...
And face the Queen...
Eh eh eh.
Alas, the time has come for you to spend the golden fruits of your carnage.

I'll check out what Zacharie has, then we'll follow his advice.

Katsuhiro Bat: Offensive equipment for the Batter
Jumpy Symbol: Offensive equipment for Add-Ons
Aura of Lunacy: Defensive equipment (1)
Neil Tunic: Offensive equipment (2) for the Batter
Femur Epidermis: Defensive equipment (2) for Add-Ons
Colour of Neglect: Defensive equipment (3)
Grand Brachial: A bizarre object, associated with meat

Something compels me to buy the Grand Brachial, so I'll get that. I don't have that many Credits now, even with selling equipment I don't need, so I'll spend wisely. I bought the Katsuhiro Bat, some Jokers, some Belial's meat, and some Golden flesh. I would advise you do this all after saving unlike I did. :I

"Bis Vincit, Qui Se Vincit In Victoria"

Roughly translated, "He who conquers twice conquers himself in victory."

On that note... next update is likely the final update. It's been amazing. Hope you guys've liked this just as much as I have.

Unfortunately, there won't be an update tomorrow cuz I'm going over a friend's house.    See you guys the day after, then. Signing OFF.
