Hanako Games

Having made many such resolutions in the past, Hanako, you'll forgive me if I'm a wee bit skeptical.

Once again, my fail!queen has failed to inspire an insurrection. I'm starting to get frustrated, so I'm trying to dig deeper into the tipping point between causing a popular revolution, vs. merely entering a 24/7 D/s relationship with your maid. [*]Giving a poor showing at the week 16 festival defin...

Two more down, only one to go: Julianna's death and the Mervan rebellion. Nova is hemorrhaging duchies like, uh, a dying kingdom?

I didn't realize you could make the Anciet marriage pan out. I've selected him once or twice on a whim, but nothing came of it. Some of the game logic behind the marriage epilogues is obscure to me.

This is how I got the divorce achievement: * At the very beginning of the game, imprison Julianna . * Ignatius will come to you asking for help because Ursul has no duke . * A good first indication that this is working is if they are dancing at arm's length at the Royal Ball . * Get to Gwenelle's pa...

I'm down to three to unlock, not counting the epilogue windows. I could have sworn I'd had a Mervan uprising one time when I executed and/or exiled the entire Mervan ducal house , but apparently the achievement isn't there. "Blessed by cats" is notoriously difficult but I think I know what I'm short...

There's no other game that has quite the same combination of brutal mechanics and brutal storytelling (which is what I love about LLTQ), but I've enjoyed all of Hanako's games that I've played. Magical Diary is great, but the tone is (for the most part) a lot less dark. The Royal Trap is wonderful, ...

I think the reason I didn't get the Alice ending is because my intuition directed me to make the opposite of the right choice at every turn. This is like Grabiner all over again.

I must admit to a small weakness for Linley. On the whole, though, unmarried Elodie is the most interesting to me. Although, I haven't gotten that ending since the update...

Getting the Sailor Briony window is proving more difficult than I remembered. I had an otherwise smooth game with no extraneous deaths and the fleet was crushed. I'm not sure what went wrong.

There is something that I found odd about my encounter with him... The option to attempt a marriage only showed up when I was betrothed with Thaddeus. Not very important, but odd. It's not to do with Thaddeus. What probably happened is that your intrigue skill wasn't high enough, so Elodie did not ...

Lumens could always have a high rating. I've usually gotten that ending, unless I was striving for something else.

A lot of the windows I'm missing represent endings I've gotten, but before these achievements were logged. I don't have #8, but I believe it may be as a result of a failed vote of no confidence, or else maybe losing the war with Arisse . I've definitely gotten the #14 ending a few times (although I'...

backstory spoilers: Correct, Lillah never had an ancestral crystal, even though history suggests that they did. I'm inordinately proud of figuring that out. Or maybe I'm just happy I finally found a canon that can keep up with my capacity for crack theories. Now you have me wondering about the othe...

Yeah, I think getting the three Evrard encounters (unless there are more that I missed) makes increasing approval more difficult. Next time I try, I may consider letting a murderer walk. Or putting a lot of work into music.
