>>>/flow/2821>Repeated "Not Implemented" Error into the Bottom Right CornerThe same will actually happen in a lot of RPG Maker games like certain versions of Yume Nikki and Ib, and I've even heard of it happening for a GTA title.
This is a common problem for Europeans and Koreans because Microsoft distributes a stripped down version of Windows to those regions to comply with antitrust regulations. These are differentiated from the Windows images released to the rest of the world by being called N or KN version of Windows (e.g. Windows 10 N).
The N/KN versions of Windows don't ship with Windows Media Player or any of its libraries, which means they can only handle WAV files (and probably not all variations of them, at that). Some applications, like games, rely on Windows Media Player's libraries to play specific filetypes. Filetypes include MPEG (.mp3), AAC (.aac), and FLAC (.flac).
If you're winning Solitaire with "Not Implemented", you probably can't play MP3 files. Do you have Windows Media Player installed? If not, when the game tries to play the following songs in the Music folder, it's going to crash:
.flowbeet.mp3
bgm6.mp3
bgm8.mp3
bgm13.mp3
bgm19.mp3
bgm49_.mp3
fc bgm.mp3
fc bgm3.mp3
lainbow2.mp3
naminooto.mp3
olg.mp3
Crashing every time you enter a certain map? You can check with online resources like the wiki to see if you're opening one of these music files when you enter the map.
There are two workarounds:
> 1) Install Microsoft's Media Feature PackTo install the Media Feature Pack for your version of Windows, right click Start, select System. Note the version number (4 digits). Copy that number and look for the matching Media Feature Pack on Google. Obviously, only download/install it from microsoft.com.
This is not necessarily the link you will use but it is a sample, and this particular link worked for me. You have to match the patch with your build number, and make sure you have the latest patch for that build number. Usually it will say on the top of the page if a later patch is available.
https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/4016817/media-feature-pack-for-n-edition-of-windows-10-version-1703-april-2017
>2) Replace the MP3 files with WAV filesAlternatively you may have some luck converting those files to WAV files and and replacing them. Here is a link to a zip file containing all the MP3 music files converted to WAVs:
https://u.teknik.io/35zIN.zip You're going to have to delete the MP3 files from the data/Music folder and drop the WAV files in before testing it out. I haven't personally tried with this game but it used to work with Yume Nikki.
===========================>>>/flow/2972>???? , □™, ?????? error at start of game or similarInstalling AppLocale isn't well supported on newer versions of Windows anymore. Locale Emulator seems to work without any issues for me (Windows 10 N).
Here are the steps I just followed:
1) Installed RPGMaker runtime from here:
http://www.rpgmakerweb.com/download/additional/run-time-packagesNote, you don't have to sign up for the mailing list. Right below the blue "Download Now" button is blue text that says, "If you have already joined the mailing list, please click here to download the RTP." Just click on that.
I've installed all of them over the course of time, but I think the one you need is RPG Maker 2003. Not sure though.
2. Installed the latest version of Locale Emulator from here:
https://github.com/xupefei/Locale-Emulator/releases3) Unzipped the English version of .flow 0.192 from here:
http://dotflow.wikidot.com/downloads4) Right clicked flow.exe, hovered over the "Locale Emulator" option (orange L), and selected the first option: "Run in Japanese" (purple L).
That's it! I was able to get past the initial hurdle of the game crashing almost immediately but I'll most likely be playing through the game in the next few days, so I'll let you guys know if I run into any snags.

I think the #1 thing that points to this is how she pinches her cheek after the Nightmare Event (the one where the Sabi kaibutsu kills you in your bedroom if she is rusted enough or engaged in bad events) as if to make sure she's still in reality. That and the whole Rust endgame where you go to flow inside the dreamland.
And her dreamworlds compared to other characters seem to have more (supposedly) real locations.

Could it be that all those bloodstains in her room are not real? Or is there nothing in the room from Sabi's point of view, and the stains are just cues for the player? You see, another thing is that there are smarter and dumber ways to interpret the game, but looking at lol's other work I'm not quite sure he would've thought of the smarter ones himself.
Or maybe he is just throwing stuff at a wall and seeing what sticks. Frankly I'd rather have that over those uninspired theories that people come up with.
I don't like the perception of maid(s) being real, as it poses way more questions than it answers, and I absolutely despise the "le open to interpretation" card that some writers pull. I surely hope lol is not one of them.

No.12652
>>12651You know, I have this sort of guideline for interpreting dream-like fiction, and it kind of helped me make sense of things most people scratch their heads over (like David Lynch's movies). So feel free to adopt it if you like.
1. Not everything has to have a distinct meaning. In fact, trying to hard to push a meaning into things is a sure sign of a mediocre writing. There are, however, recurring themes. When there's no exposition, those are the ones establishing the world and telling most of the story.
2. Most of the dreams are wishful (or fearful – you think something bad will happen and then it does) thinking to the extreme. Therefore if, say, we see Sabi get sick in her dreams, it may not necessarily be that she is in fact sick in real life, but it certainly means that she feels sick for whatever reason.
3. Art in general, but expressionsist art like dream diaries in particular, exaggerates like no one else. Therefore whatever you see on the screen could be dialed back a notch or two in the interpretation. [OFF spoilers inbound]
Remember Mortis Ghost's interview about the ending where you go against the Batter, and he appears as a monster. He explicitly said that Batter himself didn't change, but he used that artwork solely in order to emphasize the fact that your hero for most of the game is now your enemy. That's a prime example of exaggeration.
No.12739
>>12625Hey, this fella who's editing that wiki is me.
Here's a screenshot of the event for the Television effect in the so-called "Deranged Mouth World", where the player can meet Fetuses before they control Rust. It says "胎児", which could mean "fetus", "embryo", or "unborn child". I especially like the last one.
>>12628>Next thing you know people will start saying that the maid in the ending is not the evidence of her being real, but of Sabitsuki's mind going off the deep end.And this is the reason I'm writing this post. I suppose you are talking about the "True Ending", which requires the player to collect three empty boxes while controlling Rust.
By the way, these "boxes" actually have their own names. The rooms where they are acquired and the switches they trigger are named "無垢" ("purity"; Sabitsuki in the glass tube), "笑顔" ("smile"; the open mouth), and "鬼" ("demon"; the eviscerated woman). Collecting each one adds a point to the "puritysmiledemon" variable, and once it reaches the value of 3, the elevator will appear.
More to the point, there's this Rust Corridor, there are those Fetuses, and there is that Demon Sabitsuki. By hitting her five times, Rust gets sent back to her bed in the real world…
Except after she gets out of bed, the game turns on the "dream" switch, "夢", which triggers this whole ending.

No.12888
>>12625>>12739I did a similar thing a couple years ago when I was really into .flow (I still really like it, but haven't really played it or messed with it in a long time). I dug through most of the events and triggers in the game and these are my notes on what I found interesting/potentially relevant for theories. It's worth noting, I used machine translation on these so they might not be accurate (I built a tool at the time to run the original Japanese through a handful of different online translation services and usually accepted whatever most services agreed upon as the translation). Basically what I'm saying is, take all of my notes with a giant grain of salt. It's also worth saying that lol can use whatever names he wants for these triggers, events, etc. so trying to read into their naming is arguably questionable, it's possible nothing in the game has any real meaning behind it.
Worth noting, when I did this the latest version of the game was .17 (that's how old this is) so I haven't looked at anything beyond that version. Also, I make references in the notes to areas of the game via names, by descriptions, or NPC locations (I think I referenced the wiki at the time for most names)- because of this I actually have a hard time following these notes anymore myself as I don't remember much about the layout/locations/NPCs in .flow.
Gonna put my notes in a pastebin so I don't add a giant wall of text to this post:
https://pastebin.com/raw/5WMkt0SQI did this because I was really into .flow and it left me with a lot of questions/ideas about what was behind it. I like to think a lot of what I found let me piece together my own theory about the overarching themes of the game, so maybe others will get the same from it. However, as I said, take this all with a grain of salt, the only reason I really did this was simply because almost everything in .flow is such a mystery and (while also being really creepy) leaves you trying to piece together some kind of meaning. This was my way of trying to satisfy my curiosity.

And a little note about something in that wall of text…
>Switches related to Oreko commonly translate to 'My Child'That's 'Oreko', actually. "Ore" is a way to say "I" in Japanese, while "Ko" translates as "child" and often stands at the end of Japanese female names. Like "Hanako" (Flower Child) or "Tsukiko" (Moon Child), or Monoko. Machine translators tend to mistake stuff like that.

No.13301
>>13293ah, okay
personally not a fan of time/event loops since they've been done to hell and back over the past decade (and before that, yeah, but it seems like it's the answer to everything these days). too much shit went down in this supposed loop, it would be impossible to replicate as is implied. you could try to fill one of the plotholes by saying one of the maid clones could act as a physical stand-in for her mother every loop, but her father didn't have anything like that
the kaibutsu sister knowing what was going on kind of implies everyone else had been there as singular entities for at least a couple sabs, but that could be disproven by the end - which, if sabi-tsuki were going to remake the world and continue the flow… why would she introduce another sabi when it's pretty clear it would just come after her dumb ass too. she'd have to be a fucking moron to not realize this before adding a new one.. how could she even be in control of the flow or any experiments to begin with if the ending goes on to contradict and say her mother was still the one ultimately running everything and knew the consequences of each flow
the first two chapters were relatively okay and i like how the author managed to cram almost all of the effects in; really, boiling it down though i wouldn't say the theories are any different in comparison to the west aside from it beginning with there only being one 'real' sabi and her suicide/they're all clones in a loop.
fatal illness leading to physical decay, temporary cure in plants, experiments on children similar to (if not) herself, the kaibutsu (and smile) being friends until they're done in by the decay/turn against her, kills 'herself'. it was just handled a different, more literal way.

Here it is, the English translation of .flow v0.193. (This went quicker than I expected…)
https://mega.nz/#!vFM1hSBD!JJevkXC3C-q0NrlaWAvMYV-mycrwGZLNHIOSvtrFIB8I did a fresh translation, so a few things may be different. I'm confident I got most of the text, but if there's anything missing, please let me know and I'll fix it. (This goes for any other problems as well.) In addition to translating the text, I also fixed several bugs in the game, including adding a teleport to that fourth room in the deteriorating apartment. Check the translation notes text file for more details.

The black hoodie seems different to me. More like a cape or something. It's probably my memory though.
I've seen the new rooms. It feels like a story progressing, though the last door caught me off guard.

I think it's a sequence about Rust?
-First door:
The broken vase with white flowers on top and red liquid inside could mean Sabitsuki, and the mess outside is rust.
-2nd Door:
Is that girl the same as the smoking one outside the rooms?
-Third Room (big Sabi):
Doesn't Sabitsuki and Rust sprite differ in shading? Maybe we should check if it's Sabi or Rust's shading. Is that Sabi also named Rust? I wonder.
-4th door:
I don't remember, but is there a nightmare event like that? How's the pipe Sabi called?
Also notice, there's a "broken/breaking/violence" theme. (vase,teacup,pipe and mess, pipe attack)

No.14167
>>14166Not translator anon, but as a translator in other projects, I can tell you you're not being a pest for finding those things. If anything (if you feel like it), I think you should contact the translator for proofreading before a release, in order to evade having multiple patches uploaded after that (both of you benefice from it, as you get to play the game before release and the translator has less work and can publish faster).
>>14162Anon, you should upload patches instead of the whole game again (i.e. upload the map with the new data or the file you modified instead). That way you wouldn't be generating new links AND users wouldn't have to download extra files for only a few lines of text. You also spend less time uploading those.
I know flow is very lightweight in comparison to other games, but it's a good habit to improve these things when you upload translated games.
polite sage because off-topic.
No.14168
>>14166Ugh, I thought I'd gotten all of those. Can you tell me exactly where and how you interacted with Oreko to get the effect? There are multiple Oreko events you can get the diving helmet from, and it sounds like I missed one of them during translating.
>>14167Ah, making patches didn't occur to me. That would certainly be easier. Though it does have the downside of the possibility someone will miss the patch and not have the latest version of the translation, but I guess that's just an inevitability one will have to accept.
And, yes, I'll echo what this anon says here: it's definitely helpful to point out missed translations (even if there is the initial frustration that I missed them). And I won't be unopposed to having a proofreader/test-player, whether for .flow or another project; there's only so much I can do on my own without help, as all these missed translations suggest.

Just found out, there's more of these new black clothed delincuent guys in one of the first rooms of the Hospital
No.14175
>>14174This is all really interesting for 2 reasons:
-
It confirms Smile's red eye marks are handmade marks, not like his eyes are bleeding or anything. This and his black hair means he doesn't have whatever ailment RUST is suppossed to be, unlike the kaibutsu and Sabi. It's also important to realize Smile is allied to the Cleaners, since we see them in a team together.-I need to see the new event but
is that kaibutsu a Sabi-like, and also, is it the only one that appears when you are Rust? since others just turn into red demons…Also, does it look like the final, horned demon Sabi or a normal Sabi-kaibutsu? No.14178
>>14175Regarding your first point,
Smile might not be aligned with Cleaners. We see the Cleaner, we see Smile and his sidekicks, but there's nothing in front of them. So maybe Smile is confronting the Cleaner in that scene?And the answers about event:
-
It is Sabi-like Kaibutsu, no horns or demons, it's the same one from the Erosion event.-
It does appear for Rust, and for Rust only since when Sabi enters the room there is darkness and some kind of static noise? And interacting again causes her to go backI studied the way it works and made another Paste, now just need to actually launch it (had to take a break for irl stuff). I'll update the thing with the event's description:
https://pastebin.com/9rZky0F7 No.14180
>>14178About the first point,
the fact we don't see whats in the other side of the Cleaner and Smile's gang room, and that they are all facing that same hidden area, makes me think they are aligned-
So only the Sabi-kaibutsu can appear in Rust chapter. All others turn into demons. I think Sabi-rust is tied to the final horned Sabi. Also, the event makes it seem like it realizes who the real Sabi is (Rust in that scene, not the one on the computer)This one is interesting if only appears in Rust events and the corrupted school I think..

By the way, just a random thought:
I usually google translate lol_rust's tweets.

I'm glad my finds have been helpful at least, and I actually do enjoy proofreading because I like to check every little thing that might have interaction so that I don't miss anything.
I actually tried helping with proofreading for Shoujo Kidan when it was being translated, but I don't think my finds ever made their way to the translator (and there were quite a few errors). However, I don't think I'm as reliable with time nowadays.

My memory is fucked up so maybe it's just me.
I'm up to updating the translation if people is willing to help. I, too, am not happy with how it ended; as I stated multiple times, I suck at writing in english (besides chan-tier speech) and did most of it alone. It's nice people managed to play it after all, but it can be made prettier than it is.
>>14184Something I learned after many failures and frustrations when working with translations is "never rush". Better late than broken is pretty much my rule now. So, don't worry and take your time.

As for the relationships to the empty boxes–the maps named 'Purity' (無垢), same as the Oreko empty box, are where you find the event where attacking a Kaibutsu turns a white foggy place all rusted and horrific.

There's 2 pairs of opposites present:
-White: Generally indicating purity. White flowers mostly. Sabitsuki herself. White uncorrupted areas.
-Red: Rust, corruption, blood, fetus/demon etc
-Orange: Comforting, hot, Oreko is associated to these (and she's never hostile), along with her Friendship meter, and non-threatening machines. Some kaibutsu around, they multiply if you kill Oreko.
-Blue: Complementary color for orange. Sadness, past, cold, loss. Oreko's suit and possibly corpse in deadhole. New blue apartments with sad smoking yellow dress girl. Sabitsuki's past.
No.14199
>>14198About Oreko:
So, she's friendly and happy, to the point of having a relationship counter, which is kind of noticeable considering how grim everything is.
She's linked to Orange colors. Lives in a blue environment (water). Does things with machines, and she's always related to machinery and labs.
There's a little Oreko in Hospital. She's dead in Rust chapter. Deadhole area has Oreko suit, suspicious corpse in the background, and a Ghost Oreko. RIP.
She appears holding hands with Sabi in a lab tube. In Rust chapter, it's Sabi alone. However, she always appears in the Orange maze lab Tube, even in Rust Chapter.
As far as I know, there are no appearances of ill Oreko or anything else pointing at her being in danger, so I wonder what happened here.
Was she a friend of Sabitsuki? sister? Sabi's own [purity] / how would she be if there was no illness? Who knows…
No.14200
>>14198>is that her name in the game files?Yes, several events and files related to Oreko are labelled as such, in both English and Japanese.
I believe her name is specifically a portmanteau of the first part of 'orange' (オレンジ, orenji) and '-ko', which is a common suffix for female Japanese names.

In the area with sleeping music you go through the black and orange teleporter, bonk the Kaibutsu in this area and run like hell back into the teleporter. You'll end up in the area with two Kaibutsu and six Fetuses
I can't count apparently.

I think I know the meaning of the wriggling fleshy puddle in the first door. Remember the cutscene when you collect all effects? You see the black-haired woman falling apart and baby Sabi coming out of the remains. The wriggling thing is Sabi during her birth.
Actually, the strange way Sabi seems to have been born makes me wonder if she even is even human.
No.14214
>>14180I think Rust in general is the "real" Sabi. If you compare Sabi's and Rust's sprites, Sabi's dress and arms have uniform colors while Rust's have shading which makes Rust's sprite look more "real" than Sabi's.
In the true ending, you wake up in the bed, revealing that everything before was inside Sabi's dream, and from that point onward, you play as Rust. You never play as "regular" Sabi outside the dream which makes me think she is just a false identity that's part of the dream.

So she goes Sabi in a dreamworld. Explores her mind and becomes Rust to reach and kill horned Rust. Then goes back to dream to "suicide" her Rust persona into a cleaner.
Then in the ending credits, she's Sabi finally. Since I assume considering the headphones, she's Sabitsuki.
So she deals with the source and becomes a "person".

>Then in the ending credits, she's Sabi finally. Since I assume considering the headphones, she's Sabitsuki.Actually it's Rust wearing headphones. The sprite during the credits is a sprite of Rust with the headphone effect found in イベント16.png created specifically for that cutscene.
>>14217Considering nothing that came after contradicted it, I assume it's canon.
>>14215I think you are overthinking the code. We don't see Sabi falling asleep after killing the demon. The ending treats Sabi's loss of legs with a finality that wouldn't be there had it been just a dream.
>>14216I think the demons and the disease are the same thing. Because the visual and audio effects that appear when the demons touch Sabi are the same as when she tries to enter something she can only enter as Rust (which I assume represents a mental blockade) and because she destroys the source of the demons inside a dream which you can't do to a disease, I assume that the demons are purely mental phenomena.
I have a really out there guess that, in the lab where she was cloned, they modified her memories. "Rust" is her violent true personality while "Sabitsuki" is a false identity. Demon Sabi is the mental stuff implanted by the scientists and the source of the demons. During the game, abusing the fact that her computer is magic inside her dream, Sabi firsts regains her true identity Rust with the effects, then regains three important memories that the scientists blocked off and then destroys everything the scientists implanted.
The illness is what prompted the Cleaner to bring Sabi to the lab in the first place.
No.14222
>>14199Considering the april fools cutscene, she was a fellow patient in the same hospital as Sabi. After Sabi approaches the black-haired woman (Sabi's mother who essentially combusted, very likely from the disease which is why I think her appearance represents Sabi becoming the hospitals patient zero of the disease), all doors are closed. When Sabi leaves with the cleaner, the hospital is littered with corpses. Presumably almost all patients died.
I think Oreko and Sabi were the only survivors with the disease either becoming chronic but nonlethal or even disappearing for them. The Cleaner brought them to the lab where they were experimented on to create a cure. Since clones were involved, I assume they have some sort of genetic resistance to the disease. Oreko died in the lab while Sabi was able to escape until the Cleaner tracked her down and maimed her to prevent a second escape.

>Oreko doesn't have red eyes or any sign of illness.

Maybe Oreko is even more immune than Sabi and completely free of symptoms.
>Smile+sister have red eyes but no appearances with signs of sickness. Seems like he cooperates with Cleaners and KaibutsuTrue. Neither Smile nor Sister seem to ever be associated with illness, the hospital or the lab. Maybe the red eyes don't have anything to do with the disease after all.
>Kaibutsu explode into demonsI think the Kaibutsu are only mental phenomena too, namely Sabi's guilt. They are monstrous versions of herself. We see a Kaibutsu beat a corpse in the Town, the same place where we see that Sabi killed somebody in the event with the hooded chasers. The Kaibutsu that killed Smile might also represent her doing that deed.
Sabi definitely has feelings of guilt. In the prison, she can chop her own head off after which she will teleport to hell. She definitely doesn't believe she deserves to go to the fluffy cloud place. If she kills the guitar players in the underwater town, the townfolks will lynch her and send her to hell. This places a direct connection between her committing murder. She sees herself, or part of herself, as an evil monster represented by the Kaibustu.
As for the Kaibutsu turning into demons… I don't know. Maybe the modified memories work better when unhappy feelings are already in play? Maybe her memory of killing people and/or her guilt of doing that were also implanted and the Kaibutsu were always demons in "disguise"? Maybe the demons can just convert Kaibutsu like they can convert Rust.
>Demons attack Rust (who's ill)Demons attack Sabi too. They just don't archieve productive anything doing it.
>Also, some effects are kind of foreshadowing the future? Daruma doll and Machine come to mind regarding the True Ending.Certainly. Sabi must know her fate if she is caught. Maybe that's what happened to Oreko; possibly what killed her?
No.14234
It seems the garden girl you find in the Plant Maze, who gives you the flower menu, is called Hanako (花子, lit. 'flower child').
When you kill her, a switch named '花子姉殺害' turns on. It roughly translates to 'Big Sister Hanako's Murder'. So she would be an older-sister figure to Sabitsuki.
Furthermore, there's an actual map named 'Hanako'; it's the map that takes you between the present and past Plant Mazes (present being the area you get the ghost effect, past being the area filled with hospital children). The only NPC on this map is the nurse, covered in vines. I wonder if this indicates the gardener and the nurse are the same person? The nurse, like the gardener, disappears in all instances when you're playing as Rust. That's another point in favor of them being the same person. They also have the same hair color. However, no instance of the nurse disappears/dies if you kill the gardener.
Finally, the nurse in the hospital is titled as the head nurse in the event coding. So she isn't just a nurse, but the nurse, if that makes sense.
These are just some findings I thought I'd share with you all. Make of them what you will.
No.14235
By the way, what do people think of the girl in the yellow dress, with these recent updates?
My guess is she's Sabitsuki's foster mother and legal guardian who took her in after Sabitsuki was released from the hospital. She could also be her biological mother–that is, the same character as the woman in the blue dress, whom I take to be Sabitsuki's blood mother–but I prefer to think of them as separate characters, since my impression of the blue-dressed woman is that she died giving birth to Sabitsuki, from the very traumatic way the event is presented.
The positioning of the rooms in the deteriorated apartment suggest that the yellow-dressed girl raised Sabitsuki at first, but then one day disappeared. My guess is that this happened when Sabitsuki found out her foster mother was a sex worker (which the Hole in Girl area represents), and Sabitsuki killed her as a result, hence why she's holding an iron pipe in the third room. This would then be the apparent murder that Sabitsuki feels much guilt about (as suggested by Hell and the prison, the seabed village, the downtown event, etc). Another possibility is simply that the yellow-dressed girl died of other causes (such as drug abuse or an STD), and Sabitsuki holding the pipe represents something different, such as her official descent into darkness/loneliness/general decay/etc.
Also, it seems to me that the yellow-dressed woman was a drug user, given her smoking outside the apartment, and the many bottles surrounding Sabitsuki in the third room.
That's my impression of her, anyway. What do other people think? Do they think similar, or something different? I'd be interested in knowing others' thoughts on this mysterious character.
No.14236
>>14221True, we don't see Sabi falling asleep, but she is getting out of bed despite being two layers deep in flow (three if the beginning event is this). And "Dream" is the switch that triggers this ending. But now that you mentioned "finality", I think that maybe the ending is not a dream, but what we saw during the game can be a dream.
I think that lol wouldn't name stuff randomly. He could've left generic names for maps and events, but, for example, Smile in the Disposal area is called "smile", and so are his pictures. There's a lot of interesting stuff in the names.
No.14237
I forgot to mention something that I noticed recently. I think someone here pointed at the things and I noticed something about them.
So, there's a tendency to see Sabitsuki and Rust as two different beings, or two parts of the same, whatever. They're seen as two. But, what if, there's three? The so-called "Demon Sabitsuki", which is the "Innermost Demon" in-game. Even in this recent discussion, you can blame it on me not being a native speaker of English, but it looks like people treat her as an aspect of Sabitsuki/Rust.
But, there's this thing in the Womb Maze's Demon area. Three heads grow from the same root, white hair. One of them has horns and bleeds - Inner Demon.
No.14239
>>14235Yeah I think yellow dress girl is Sabituski's tutor after blue dress dark hair mother died giving birth (exploding girls event, broken flower vase in first blue room). However, I don't think Sabi killed her, there's isn't anything indicative enough. What I think is that she was a suicidal, drug using sex worker (however very kind to Sabi, as we see the Sweet Sugar Days event after eating a lot of healing cake) who found her or was assigned to take care of Sabi when she was young. After a while, Sabi/Rust showed symptoms of rust (broken teacup in the second blue room) and was taken to the lab/hospital, and didn't see her again.
>>14237Yeah I'm sure the 3headed tree kind of means there are three "personalities" in the same body. Sabituski is probably fake/reppressed, Rust is the main stable one (and capable of going Kaibutsu on will), Demon Sabi is the evil uncontrolled one.
No.14240
>>14239So I think the timeline is:
-Black hair girl dies while giving birth (exploding girls event/DEMON)
-Little Rust is taken by yellow dress girl
-Little Rust shows illness, YDgirl worries and takes her to the Hospital
-Illness spreads, Rust is hospitalized
-Meets Oreko (PURITY)
-Experimental plant treatment limits illness
-Goes to school for a while, meets Smile (SMILE)
-??? UNEXPLAINED HAPPENING
-Rust goes Kaibutsu (controlled by Demon Sabi), probably kills both Smile and Oreko
-Reppresses memories, creates a Sabitsuki persona, flees to an apartment
-Game starts
-Sabitsuki collects effects, remembers and undoes mental block, becomes Rust again
-Rust remembers what happened (her birth, Oreko and Smile's deaths)
-Goes and kills Demon Sabi
-Tries to Kaibutsu (now controlled) a Cleaner (???) gets sawed
-(???) gets better?
No.14241
>>14240A few afterthoughts:
-I don't think Rust killed Oreko. She was at the Hospital by the time Rust came so I think she died on her own. The explicit murder is Rust killing Smile, which by the way can only be truly seen while controlling Rust (who doesn't have a mental block)
There's no mental block, Rust only event for Oreko.
If all this makes sense, we might get a future happy ending of Rust going back with the Yellow Dress Girl
No.14242
>>14241last point: Some things remain unexplained:
-Cleaners (robots?)
-Rust's computer and how did she find it
No.14243
>>14240>>14241>>14242Considering all this, here's my prediction:
After some more updates, lol_rust will revamp the endings:
-1: Same as now, Sabitsuki can't deal with all this and "flees" (again) by committing suicide. It's also a complete reference to Yume Nikki ending.
-2: Our 3rd ending as of now. Actually our 2nd and 3rd endings are the same one, just cut, so it could replace the actual 3rd (which wasn't put into since YDgirl wasn't made yet).
Sabitsuki stops reppressing and becomes Rust again. The weakening of her mental barrier allows Demon Sabi to control her again, resulting in going berserk (and Cleaner saws her).
-3: New ending. Probably happy one with YDgirl involved. May/may not have some plot twist.
-
No.14244
>>14243I think you miss that there isn't more than one ending. The two false endings are just YouTube Poops of the true one. They cut clips out to make it appear that different events occur than they actually do; in all endings, the same series of events occurs (although Sabi's reaction to the Cleaner might be different in the two with demon sabi still existant, which doesn't truely change anything.
A new ending might be fun, but sadly I don't see a happy ending ever being implemented.
>>14242The maid that sends you to the sugar girls world has a hole instead of a face. I think that is the Cleaner whose face was severely disfigured in a fight, causing her to cover it with a gas mask.
Rusts computer belongs to the owner of the appartment I assume; either someone from which she stole the key or the girl in a dress who might have lent it ro her.
The computer doesn't have anything special going on. During the true ending, it's revealed that everything before was a dream. After waking up, the computer can't initiate flow. Flow was always just Rust going one layer deeper in her dream.
>>14241Oreka can be seen in the lab; before the Purity empty box but only if you're Sabi. Therefore she survived the hospital but died in the lab.
How would staying with the girl in a dress make for a long-term good ending? Her and what army is going to defend Rust from the Cleaner and her thugs?
>>14237I think Rust and Sabi are the same thing and person, but Sabi has artificially repressed and perhaps modified memories, perhaps to keep her more controllable. The Inner Demon, I think, is an entity inside Rust, namely the change that was artificially introduced into Rust's mind.
>>14236It's less that you are overinterpreting the variable name "dream" but that you are overinterpreting its booleanic value "true" or "false". Maybe lolrust just found it more conveniant to have a boolean stay false until it is needed.
>>14237>>14239Why assume that the Inner Demon is or makes Rust evil or aggressive? I agree that the Inner Demon is parasitic, but maybe it was implanted to make her less violent and thus easier to control, which is why Rust is so bloodthirsty after the Inner Demon is killed.
No.14245
>>14244>It's less that you are overinterpreting the variable name "dream"The name is important. And it's not a variable. Variables have numbers.
>but that you are overinterpreting its booleanic value "true" or "false".Okay, this. What do you mean by this?
I actually had to look up "overinterpret" to check if I have it right. You mean I attach too much importance to it being there? Well, this switch DETERMINES the ending, if it wasn't there, the player would get the ending with the maid taking Sabi. I attach importance to the name "Dream", there must be a reason the switch is named so.
>Maybe lolrust just found it more conveniant to have a boolean stay false until it is needed.This. I looked it up too, just in case. "Boolean" refers to data types that are either true or false. So OF COURSE stuff will be false unless it's needed, what's convenient about it
Are you sure you know what you're talking about, or are you just trying to dismiss me? If it's the latter, just say so, because so far it's hard for me to make sense of what you're saying.
No.14246
>>14245I agree that the name "dream" is important, but I disagre that the ending is a dream and everything else is real. Previously you have said the ending is a dream because the dream variable becomes "true" during it. I think that this change is when Rust stops dreaming.
What I ment when I said you overanalyzed "dream", I ment that you came to the conclusion "when this switch is false Sabi is awake, when this switch is true Sabi is dreaming" when I think it's the other way around.
No.14247
>>14246Okay, now I understand. And in the post you quoted I said that it can also be the other way around: what happened in the game is dream, the ending is her waking up from dream. Maybe I didn't word it properly.

I think that the next update, aside from implementing the new hell map, will add more content involving the scarecrow farmer and/or the plant girl.
The reason for that is that all menu type-giving NPCs except them have been featured in recent updates:
>Oreko in the Dead Hole
>Smile in the bathtub world
>The Cleaner in the bathtub world
>Baby Rust in the four doors to the past (as the wriggling white thing inside the puddle in the first door)
Plus,the Farmer is featured during .flowbeat (in fact as the second character to appear as far as I remember, directly after Sabi's mother), which means he is somehow important.
I also think the final update will change the .flowbeat cutscene to include characters that have been added after its implementation, such as the blavk-haired girl in a dress and the sugar girls girl.

Speaking of the gardener,
>>14234no-one thinks anything of this?
No.14255
>>14234>>14253Hm… The gardener appears between Sabi's mother and the hospital people during flowbeat. It makes sense for the gardener to be Sabi's sister or sister figure if we assume flowbeat represents the timeline in order. In that case, she cared for Sabi before she went to the hospital.
Talking about flowbeat, it's strange how Oreko appears between the demon fetuses and the Cleaner. How can that be considering she's dead? Maybe that's not actually Oreko but her clone who Rust met again after the Cleaner brought her back into the lab?
No.14256
>>14255Reminder that Japanese children can call older non-relatives "big brother" or "big sister" if they are not too far apart in age from the speaker.
I'd say Hanako is a sister figure, someone Sabi new since childhood (plant covered little Sabi). Maybe she literally was a gardener, and the plant themes in flow come not from some treatment, but from her. But plants are strongly connected with the Hospital, so…
Yeah, either she's the Nurse, or she visited the Hospital often.
Or maybe plants are a metaphor for something that children and the Nurse share…
No.14257

Yellow-dress girl is the Cleaner. She dressed as a maid in the love hotel and protected sabi/rust this whole time. That's why she carries her princess-style after her amputation and bows to her in the ending after her recovery.
Alternatively, the Cleaner could be a representation of YDgirl inside sabi/rust's mind. They share some themes such as the love hotel, the maid outfit, cake and tea. Also they seem to care for Sabitsuki at certain points. The YDgirl is the "real person" or "real memory' breaking through her dreams

Oreko died due to the experiments, which is why we see her ghost and corpse in the deadhole.
Chainsaw maid is the leader of a gang that either owns the lab or is associated with it. Smile is one of her grunts. Always figured that out, but the new update confirmed it.
The faceless maid that sucks Sabi into the sugar area is the chainsaw maid. Her face is disfigured from a fight which is why she wears a gasmask.
Black-haired not-faceless girl was trafficked by the gang. She was friends with Sabi and committed suicide. The brothel (that the gang also owns) also hides multiple corpses so a lot more women presumably shared her fate.
Sabi helped out with the gang. From the crimezone area, we know both Sabi and the chainsaw maid committed a murder.
Sabi knows Smile both from the school and from the gang. The corrupte school event gives us two contradictory stories: Either Sabi murdered Smile or Smile murdered Sabi. Sabi isn't dead, so it must have been the former. Can't figure out why they got into a fight. His sister isn't there, so maybe Sabi caused her death?
Sabi got sick of the chainsaw maid and her gang and ran away from the lab one day.
Sabi seems to know what will happen if the chainsaw maid catches how, considering the legless effect. She probably threatened her.
Sabi's computer is completely mundane. It only works in Sabi's dream and after she wakes up in the true ending, it doesn't work at all. The blood and the life-support systems on the computer are then gone, too.
The Kaibutsu are mental images caused by guilt, representing Sabi at her worst. We see a Kaibutsu hitting an already dead corpse in the same place where the chase cutscene implies Sabi committed a murder. Sabi transforms into a Kaibutsu before murdering Smile.
The Kaibutsu share Smile's trait of laughing when Sabi attacks them and they're grouped with him in flowbeat. Maybe they're also inspired by him?
The demons have mouths on their face and belly; the two places where Sabi's mom recieves wounds in the event. They represent Sabi's traumas; taking the form of Sabi's first trauma which is her own birth. (They are called fetuses in the code!) The three empty boxes are her three traumas which are her birth, the events in the lab and her murder of Smile. By killing her demonic self, Sabi kills her trauma. The demons are not directly affiliated with the disease.
No.14563
The four memory rooms are, like flowbeat, a chronological retelling of Sabi's life (maybe even a more concrete retelling of flowbeat). The vase in the first room represents Sabi's mom and the wriggling thing in the puddle represents herself. Flowbeats pendant is the part with the living and dead instances of Sabi's mom. The second room obviously represents her time in the hospital. Flowbeats pendant is the part with the ill kids, the doctor and nurse, and the dead kids. The third room represents the time Sabi spent with the black-haired girl (and by extension in the lab and with Smile). The robot girl represents the black-haired girl since she has black hair and dies like her. The fourth room represents Sabi hiding in her apartment, dreaming of using her magic computer. It's an obvious retelling of the nightmare event (which itself was a forshadowing of the fact that Sabi was dreaming all along). The Kaibutsu represents the chainsaw maid searching for her. Flowbeats pendant is the part with the 24 effects and 100000000 demons.
The chainsaw maid returns Sabi to the lab where she is reunited with Oreko's clone.
Rust is the real Sabi. All instances of baby Sabi are called Rust in the code. Baby Sabi in the all-effects-cutscene resembles Rust more than Sabitsuki. We never see Sabitsuki's sprites outside Sabi's dream (there are multiple Rust sprites like Rust wearing headphones just to make sure of that); the "-tsuki" suffix is probably a nickname or entirely fictitious. Maybe she's the facade created by Sabi's mind to repress her trauma instead of overcoming it.
Sabi's self-destructively aggressive behavior isn't caused by the disease. It's similar to Smile's and he's never associated with the lab or the disease in any way. She's probably been symptom-free for years since her apartment is free of blood (and the bloodstains near the computer only exist in her dream) and one of the disease's symptoms is coughing blood.

-Oxidation occurs when the electrons of certain things react with the oxygen in the air and/or water (both are required). When the object reacts to oxygen, it gains oxygen electrons and loses some of its own, sometimes losing hydrogen (if this is the case it is known as s redox reaction, where 2 types of reaction happen at the same time). In .flow:
-The oxidation process can be interpreted as corruption (oxidation itself is classified as a type of corrosion in real life) or a corrupting force. An evil which reacts with the purity of Sabitsuki's world and corrupts it until it withers away.
-Mostly present in the game, blood contains iron; and it's also possible to become oxidized, turning to a deep brown color similar to iron metal rust.
-Following the disease theory, Sabitsuki might suffer from a disease that oxidizes the iron in her blood, or that the oxygen in the atmosphere harms her in a way.
-If that's the case, then the maid's mask might be for Sabitsuki's protection and not the other way around
-Alternatively, she might suffer from a disease that prevents or diminishes the oxidation of her blood. Also alternatively, Rust might have stopped her blood oxidation by reducing the amount of iron in her blood (acquired or self induced anemia), thus preventing her cells from carrying oxygen. This might explain her pale and weakened appeareance
-Air and water or damp air in general are required for rust to form. In the game, some examples of water are: the watering can effect, the snow world's snow, the town harbour, the sea, the sewers, the wastewater lake and the submarine world, with oreko providing another hint at water related imagery (helmet)
-Sabitsuki's name means "covered in rust", and Rust is self explanatory. Considering they are both the same girl and given the vague tone of the game, her names might actually refer to states (of being or mind, i don't know), with "Sabitsuki" alluding to her being in the early stages of rust, and Rust implying she has deteriorated to the point of becoming rust completely.
-When a substance rusts, it becomes weaker over time until its integrity is so damaged it can turn to dust with a simple touch.
-Sabitsuki's main weapon is an iron pipe. Iron being the most common and susceptible material for oxidation.
-Rusty objects and places are prominent in the game, some being: Sabitsuki's iron pipe, tubes in the sewers, wastewater lake, neighbourhood pier, etc.
-Rust and Sabitsuki can be seen as foils to one another. Sabitsuki is physically healthy but weak of mind by not being able to withstand memories of traumatic experiences (blocking them away in inaccesible rooms) or twisting the nature of certain memories by remembering them differently from reality, or the fact that she needs fantastic creations to help her traverse her world (effects). Rust's mind is relatively stronger not only by being capable of accesing these rooms, but also by "picking up" or accepting these painful memories, taking realistic damage by chasers instead of getting trapped in an area where she can use effects to escape, remembering things the way they actually happened or daring to imagine them with her gaining the upper hand, and restricting the use of effects which renders her vulnerable (like in the real world); however, she is visibly unhealthy
-In the Deterioration event, Sabitsuki is unable to trigger it and she walks into a dark room unable to see, she then walks out. Rust however, can see clearly what the event is about.
-Not only that, but the event itself depicts a kaibutsu Sabitsuki with a pipe in hand aproaching slowly an unsuspecting Sabitsuki sleeping on her computer keyboard
-maybe sabitsuki isn't able to see this event because in her current state of mind she is yet unsuspecting of the evil inside her, or she has set a mental block as protection mechanism similar to the ones in the empty box rooms, or is in denial.
-Rust on the other hand can see perfectly what happens, however, instead of the kaibutsu Sabitsuki harming the real Sabitsuki, she notices Rust and proceeds to hit the barrier aggresively trying to reach her. This might mean that the inner evil acknowledges Rust as a stronger version of Sabitsuki's mind and considers her a threat to be eliminated. Or perhaps realizes that the normal Sabitsuki has evolved to Rust and now she must be targeted.
-maybe sabitsuki can't accept the fact that the one responsible for her demise is a part of her, while Rust understands this and is even willing to confront that part of herself
