ALTDEUS: Beyond Chronos

[Hanako Games]

As I understand it, the plot for this is at least subtexty, but probably not actually romantic. Also, it's a VR game, I'm not likely to ever know more than that. But putting this here in case anyone does play it and have more to say

So I ended up playing this on my Quest 2, have yet to finish the game(only the first good ending) but from what I got it is pretty explicit. The love interest name is Coco, she got eaten by an alien which torn up the protagonist since they share alot of history together one of which involved Coco jokingly say she fell in love at first sight with Chloe. Also for some reason, the advance combat AI that accompany Chloe through out the game is also model after Coco which result in lots of animosity from Chloe. There are multiple instances of flash back Coco insinuating Chloe is her friend but there are more mystery regarding her death that I have yet to uncover which also hinted that they may have been more than friends.

As for the ending I got, apparently Coco's death may have been a suicide and Chloe is torn up over being unable to kill her or stop her from going to the surface world where she ended up getting by the alien. The alien that ate Coco turns into a giant copy of her as if it trying to making contact with Chloe. The alien Coco gave Chloe a cradle, where once enter Chloe re-emerge as an alien version of herself and the 2 hold hand and fly toward the cosmos(a reference to Shrek most likely).

I will play the rest of the game to see how far this goes but from what I'm seeing the route split hinges on whether the protagonist side with the AI version of Coco or the alien version of her.

Finished the game, I think the story is def yuri. Coco and Chloe has alot of history together and the flashback Chloe have abt Coco is what guide the story toward the true ending. Not to mention one of the true ending involve Chloe deciding to be with Coco by dooming the rest of mankind. There was a heartfelt confession scene follow-up with their plan to explore the universe now that they are free from their fate and duty.

In addition, the villain of the game is doing all the villainous thing to turn back time so she can revive another girl who was dear to her(the game refuse to elaborate any further). I think this may relate to the other game that the dev made which I may get to at some point.
