This is a theory about Lena...

[Pachico]

I think that there is more to Lena than just a female character that you can go out with. I'm not sure what it is though.

So let's start with something minor. When you search for games, you see the name of the game, the price, and a small picture. In the picture for this game, the only character we see is Lena. Doesn't seem too suspicious so far.

The endings follow a pattern. For the good endings, you fall in love with a girl, go back to reality and then meet up with that person. The bad endings are exactly the same, except that you don't meet up with that person. I am not talking about the special endings about Miku, Yulia and the Harem ending. But who doesn't follow the pattern? Lena! In the good ending, the pioneer camp "dream" becomes reality and you stay with Lena from that point in the game. The bad ending is, again, different to the pattern. It is also different from the good ending! Lena commits suicide because she thinks that nobody cares about her. Then, you go to your reality and commit suicide because of depression. All of this is completely different from the other endings!

One final thing. this is to do with Lena's role in Miku's ending. She is a crasy, evil demon! That is a special role compared to everyone else.

There are other little details like the creepy image before you meet Olga Dmitrievna, and some that I probably missed. By putting all of these things together I think it's safe to say that there is something else going on. I might have overlooked things, but I just find it too suspicious.

I will keep updating as I find more. In the meantime, feel free to dwell on these things.

I'd say that Lena's bad ending more or less follow the typical bad ending scenario - Semyon returns to the real world.
Just that in this case, he is so obssesed with her death, that he decides to go after her in the afterlife...

Mirror, mirror on the wall, who is the most cruel lady of them all?
It sure does seem that she knows a few tricks to manipulate people... Even though it did not completely went according to plan (in the bad ending), as Semyon just remembered that he wants to leave the camp first...

Actually, you know what? Lena's scenario does have one unique feature from Slavya's, Alisa's and Ulyanna's - the suicide of the said character, Lena. (Semyon's, Miku's (Masha's), Yulia's and Harem endings don't count). We can probably find more differences amongst these 'default' endings.

In a way, it seems like she is kind of seeking revenge - I don't see a point in living anymore, because I have failed, BUT I'LL TAKE YOU WITH ME! - at least if we truly consider her behavior of less 'anticipated'...
Still, though, what would any person do, realising that the person, which was held in such a high regard, is not really worth of anyone's trust..?
She did, in a way, saved some other (or even more) not so fortunate victim(s) (A girl that could be seduced) from Semyon - the heartbreaker.

Semyon had paid for his untrustworthyness with his life... Or, perhaps, not meeting Lena's expectations and (hilariously) realising that she had some meaning for him... Hah...
In the end, though, it is up to the players to interpret the endings in their own ways...

Lena is the mastermind.
You should really finish all the routes first before looking at the forum.

Unless it it about bugs. And yes, she really is! Maybe Lena is the secret developer of the game!

I've found something else. I'm pretty sure that you are never able to see the protagonist's (Semyon's) eyes. However, there is ONE scene where we can. Where is it? LENA'S GOOD END!

Well, he is a grown up man there...
Also, you can see Semyon's eyes in prologue - just before he enters the 410 bus.

Well, wasn't the Lena route the one that already revealed the premise that she's the only one that's actually "awake", compared to the other girls? I'm sure I've mentioned this before, but it's at that point that route is the big reveal after the plot twist with Catgirl.

Semyon notices that even though he restarts every week, there are times he changes things and realizes none of it matters. Semyon hates it, yet at the same time his experience is just changing his personality, and he gets bitter about it. So, when "woke" Lena appears, she notices this too after he tells his story. For lena, she probably restarts each day like Semyon, except their paths don't always cross all the time. It's like doing all your playthroughs in each route, and you're only meeting Lena a few times until you get to her route. None of the routes actually mattered the way he treats the girls, regardless of the "ending", because it's not an ending since he perpetually restarts.

Lena is perhaps the true ending, in a sense anyway. The only thing that actually changes, is the fact that Semyon is both talking to himself and is the "irritated" manifestation of his future self. That's why eventually he realizes because he restarts the week every time, he's "time travelling" in a way that it still could be possible to send a message to himself in one way or another. That's why he got the note int he beginning by the mysterious figure, which was actually his future self.
