The Sekimeiya: Spun Glass was developed by Trinitite Team and released in 2021 for PC. I first wondered how the game ended up on my wishlist but then I remembered that I’ve been checking visual novels with time travelling stories like Steins Gate, and The Sekimeiya got some hits. I can’t begin to describe it. It doesn’t follow the typical character introduction and immersive setting from other visual novels. The character interaction is minimal at first and it immediately throws you into a mystery related to a peculiar stone of great value – The Sekimeiya- discovered in the mountains of Yushibana and now in possession of the Ashiya family. There’s little background story at first but those elements are eventually introduced during the course of events – and there are many – the exception being an adorable side-story at the end of Chapter 1 and a post-chapter where we see what happened in Atsuki and Shiroya’s recent past.

Character development as we know it isn’t really there because the purpose of the text is purely descriptive, serving as a puzzle guide to unravel the mystery of the Sekimeiya and its powers. There’s an initial group of six people attending an event in the Ashiya tower arranged with the purpose of displaying the stone and the unique possibility of touching it. However, the stone was stored inside a glass cabinet with regulated temperature and should never be held outside. Those were the rules. As expected, things didn’t go as planned because the location the exhibition was being held in was the target of a mysterious attack and everyone got trapped inside without any form of communication with the outside. A black sticky smoke filled the air and everyone passed out. From this moment on we are playing the game from the perspective of Atsuki and every bit of text is him trying to make sense of the stone, exploring every imaginable angle with the intention of using its powers to escape and finding the culprit responsible for the attack.

Not long into the story, the group discovers the ability to travel back in time by touching the stone at the right temperature. Our main character experiments with the stone in every possible way and analyses every expected and unexpected outcome, every possibility, every action, every result, every variation, every occurrence, every tangent, every theory, every contradiction, every new element, every change, every human contact, and every room. It almost reads like an instruction manual with bits and pieces of dialogue in between to alleviate the pressure, thickening the plot and creating more confusion instead of clarity. The pressure is therefore never alleviated because there’s always something else happening, some overlooked detail that initiates another loop, another try, another discovery, another theory, another sequence, another consequence, another rule, another exception, another question, another possibility, another variation and another contradiction.

By travelling in time to a few minutes into the past Atsuki can see events from different perspectives and even alter their succession based on what was previously seen. Given that everyone has more or less contact with the stone, there’s plenty of time travelling going on at different periods, even at the same time, because there’s a theory that more than one stone exists, not only in another world line, but in the one they find themselves existing in. However, no one saw it yet, so it couldn’t be confirmed, but in theory it’s possible because it was also possible to see the same person in the same world line. They weren’t wearing the same clothes and there was doubt about the origin of the other person who appeared when their copy was still in the world. Replication was possible with dead bodies, because at a certain point something terrible happened and the exhibition guide died. After some going back and forth, their body appeared in another room wearing the same clothes with labels with the same unique number. If perfect copies are able to coexist at the same time and place, how about the stone and people, and clothes, and objects they touch, and everything that connects and carries with them when they touch the stone?

One question still lingering in my mind is not exactly related with the position of the puzzle pieces (meaning objects and humans) at the time of a given travel but actually when did every participant started to travel, to where were they taken, from where did they come, and why did they seem to know each other from before the exhibition and having had other experiences and other interactions and then landed on a world line where they were both lacking in fundamental information about the events there and then, but holding unknowable knowledge from the perspective of our character.

Obviously nobody trusts each other. There’s dead bodies, there’s an attempted murder, there’s a mysterious culprit who can be anywhere whenwhere, there’s a lockdown, there’s a time when the lockdown lifts but the information was given by an untrustworthy person, there’s copies of people inhabiting sections of world lines whose future is unaccounted for, there’s the possibility of changing elements in the past without any apparent achievement, there’s the past days to deal with and those past days are flowing into the past hours and bringing in ghosts from the past, there’s exhaustion and fear and confusion and frustration and madness and blood and endless loops of nothing where clothes, keys, carts, recorders, bags, pieces of paper, even people, pulled by the hands of time and rearranged like a deck of cards are being thrown in by the apparent range the stone possesses.

And that’s the end of Chapter 1.

Chapter 2 starts from the perspective of Shiroya and now you can read this text all over again. Now seriously, I’m at the start of Chapter 2 and until now the atmosphere and events have been the same, but it’s known that each chapter from each character’s perspective adds a bit more detail to what’s actually happening. I believe, deep inside I do believe, that I’ll get some answers. I believe that the alpha and the omega is the stone – the main character and thread that connects these events in all their elusive and mutable nature. That, like a ball of yarn, one thread representing time and space and causality, can be rearranged over, under, through, inside, outside, alongside, apart or closer to itself. This is The Sekimeiya for you and I can’t say I recommend it if you’re not that into a very long read, or if you enjoy a structured story with a solid cast, but at least I’d recommend giving it a try because it can really be your jam, you just don’t know it yet. Personally, I’m enjoying the unknown and I’m trying to solve the puzzle of the Sekimeiya to the best of my ability. I don’t know if I’ll have the stamina to see the story from all perspectives but I would like to at least unlock an ending. Getting access to a bit more information would give me a sense of clarity and closure.

When people get abducted by #aliens and then their terminal disease gets cured, that's probably their #timeTraveling loved ones going back to undo their deaths

Last weekend, I made some progress in Soul Hackers 2 and I am right at the end of the game. The crazy dungeons inside the Soul Matrix got a little more complex to navigate. Saizo’s Soul Matrix is still the hardest one in my view, however I managed to complete a few more things before I finish the story. I reached 4F with all my companions, but only managed to get enough Soul Level to finish Milady’s 4F and get into 5F. There, I couldn’t open any other gates without loads of Soul Level. I’ve read that the amount of Soul Level we gain from hangouts increases significantly in new game + making it possible to complete a 5F from any character and unlock an achievement.

I completed all requests from Madam Ginko in order to get items, money, upgrades, lower prices to summon demons, what have you. It’s very important to stay on top of her requests during the playthrough to make things easier in the end. I completed all The Lost Numbers DLC quests involving a new character called Nana. She was on a journey to find information about her father, a person who worked for Yatagarasu – an organization that protects people from demons – while also learning about the story behind her true nature. This lead us to a new dungeon where we could grind to our heart’s content and defeat powerful bosses.

One day I couldn’t sleep, so I decided to fuse many demons with the money I had. Now my compendium is over 90% and I’ll maybe take it to 100%, something I could never do on a playthrough in Persona 3 Reload without a guide. With the DLC we also get some powerful demons for free from the start, but I decided to ignore them during early game because they were too overpowered. What I enjoyed the most about the game was the cyberpunk atmosphere, the art, the palette, and the interactions with demons and companions. The game is a feast for the eye, the soundtrack can be a bit limited but I already got two favorite songs – COMP Smith and Eyes of the Iron Mask.

This is as far as I got before I enter the last dungeon, or what I think is the last anyway. My two main characters – Ringo and Figue – are becoming more human by learning through interactions with other humans. They are machines made in human’s image, created by Aion, a big sentient AI, maybe composed of many other life forms, born from the digital footprints of humans. The purpose of their creation was to save the world from great danger, of course, but things didn’t go as expected as they never do. When human emotions formed inside our character’s personalities every action gained a new significance and by consequence emotions started getting in the way of what was otherwise a very objective mission. One of them went rogue and now it’s up to us to fix the world, before saving it.

These demons are adorable

During the weekend, I decided to go back to Steins Gate Elite. It’s a visual novel with primary focus on time travel and creating a time machine. I started reading it some months ago but it was a bit on-and-off, the story and the characters weren’t captivating enough at first. So eventually I abandoned it and played many games in between. Steins Gate was that VN that I would read when I didn’t want to play or read anything else. Okabe was very irritating and over-the-top and I could only tolerate him in very small portions. This time I was a bit under the weather and the best thing I could do was going to bed and reading a VN that could work as a pathway to a good nap. I was at the end of Chapter 4 and initiated Chapter 5. From there on, any idea of a nap diluted in the hands of time and I was very much glued to the screen. It must have happened a little before a certain character was killed. I was instantly shocked and I had to read on. Okabe changed a lot, so much so, that I found myself wishing for his nonsense at times.

Suzuha and Okabe

The suffering and confusion brought upon Okabe during his time leaps was palpable. At a certain point even I was giving up hope and questioning the point of saving the world to be. During his hopeless mission to save a special someone he would try again and again at changing something, anything, a few hours or days before a tragedy in order to prevent it, even when it was obvious that the end result would stay the same. At this point we understand the motivations of the cast of characters, especially one that came from 30 years in the future. Real time passed so fast from then on that I ended up unlocking my first ending. The game went full circle and I stayed with Mayuri and Daru in a peaceful world, all of my friends were gone. Very easily I unlocked Suzuha, Moeka, Lukako and Faris’ routes. For Kurisu and the true ending I needed a guide.

Makise Kurisu

The good part about using a good guide was that I could choose the right sms answers for the true ending and then save the game when I was one answer short. With an answer left to trigger the true ending we can instead see Kurisu’s ending and then reload the save. The funniest part was that, after I watched her ending and wept and laughed and everything, I engaged the true ending and it was exactly the same thing. Same scenes, same conversations, but I couldn’t skip them. Then the credits rolled and I thought I was doing something wrong and checked the guide again. They wrote something like “read on, trust us” and trust I did.

*** Light spoilers true ending, continue to next paragraph ***

What came after was a very substantial part of the game because it was long and tied a lot of loose ends from the beginning. Everything we see at the start of the game is explained and I didn’t notice any major plot holes. However, I played the first 4 chapters a long time ago, and I don’t remember every little detail. Kurisu’s murder in the Beta attractor field, where the game starts, is explained and that moment is revisited by Okabe and Suzuha. Okabe gets a message from his future self and finds motivation to rewrite the narrative of that worldline by use of deception. It’s genius! However, I would have enjoyed watching the deception taking place, I mean seeing the reaction of the real Okabe from that worldline. Also that shift between dead Kurisu and alive Kurisu was triggered by a worldline shift I didn’t see. I didn’t see it but Okabe certainly did because he jumped to an attractor field – Steins Gate – where everyone is alive and living their sweet lifes. In order to start anew on an attractor field without any known convergence – a new start for humanity – Okabe had to save Kurisu, and that he did. It was a beautiful ending especially because of everything that happened in order to get there, all the heartbreaks and so on.

*** End of spoilers ***

Yes, it was a great read, for sure! By pure coincidence or not, Spike Chunsoft has a sale on Steam right now, so I grabbed Steins Gate 0. The story takes place in the Beta worldline, meaning after Kurisu dies. Poor Kurisu. Her death is the first thing we see when we start Steins Gate and it’s always looming in the background even when she’s right before our eyes. Steins Gate 0 starts about the same way, with some variations and it’s intended for people who read the original novel. The very first scenes are a big spoiler! I’m very curious to see what they did with the story. The old art is wonderful. I would recommend playing Steins Gate with the original artwork and then watching the anime.

Paradox cestování v čase je v tom, že pokud někdy někdo cestování v čase uskuteční a odcestuje do doby před tou naší, tak my už žijeme ve světě, který je jeho následkem. Liebnitz měl tedy pravdu když říkal, že žijeme v tom "nejlepším možném světě".

I just time traveled back to 18th of December 2023 and saw your toot freshly come into my timeline. Now will continue traveling - bye!

P.S.: Good luck by solving your problems ;)

That's the problem.

Next time, I would build the time machine out of a toilet. Less maintenance costs and the time flush would flow better. And when the flush tank is modified, an additional #bucket is no longer needed.

Unfortunately, I don't have time to build it.

I had tried it before with a time tub. But it takes too long to fill up and the time flush doesn't run fast enough. Even if there was enough space for the technical components.
