this game has also inspired me to personally consider breaking into the lucrative business of gay furry horror visual novels

It'll probably bounce up and down a lot, it's not really worth getting too invested in (although I just want it to always be above Omori because I'm extremely petty)

yea it doesn't literally matter (and the current rank of #99 is objectively very good) but i feel like complaining anyways

Many of them have a perfect score of 10, which will keep them at the top of the chart.

check the distribution. chart favors games with lots of perfect scores, even if the avg is lower. helps games like this that are gonna be inevitably divisive due to their nature.

I think glitchwave also deweights super low ratings when most of the others are really positive when it comes to the chart placement, or at least i've seen someone say that before. when the first few 0.5s were added to this, it didn't really affect the placement much

yeah its got pretty much all the same reasons as umineko. lots of perfect 5s (some of which seem to get deweighted in the average but not the placement) and a handful of 0.5s with the opposite going on.

not really sure how the 3.9 is being calculated anyways, manually computing it in excel gives me 4.24 which makes its placement make much more sense. obviously some things are being deweighted and some aren't but it's hard to say which

lo, I'd be interested in your take on this game given how much you dislike Omori and how much two of the routes, Flynn and TJ, cover similar ground (dealing with the sudden death of your friend as a kid), but like it's actually interested in interrogating the consequences of that and to maintain a sense of grounded realism in the setting even when stuff gets supernatural
