Forum › ROMANCE DETECTIVE 2
Ah, that was amazing. A worthy sequel to the first Romance Detective. It's a shame that it wasn't fully completed, but I don't want Nami to work on something that she doesn't want to work on and, besides, it was amazing anyway, so not many complaints here... Well, from this point on, I'm just gonna spoil everything to be on the safe side.
It was nice to see RC and RD's relationship grow from the first RD. The whole intimacy talk they had over the course of the VN was excellent and not really something common in these kinds of work. On that note, this is probably the most... uh, lewd? out of all of Nami's works. That's not really the right word, but it frankly (okay, more like implicitly) discussed subjects like sex and BDSM and all, but, you know, in Nami's signature cute style. I suppose the Leandre rose thorn thing was pretty... explicit. Learning more about their respective backstories was quite nice as well; it certainly explains why RD wasn't affected by the roses in the first one (I don't think she was at any rate; I need to reread that thing). It did make me a bit sad though, when RC had that introspective about how naive RD is and how she wouldn't really be able to handle the real world... Lovebloom is such a perfect place (aside from Lupin), but its residents wouldn't really be able to handle it... though I'm probably thinking too much about this since RC and Canary seem perfectly fine.
All the other characters were great too, of course. The Chief was as amusing as she was in the first game. Aster and Ivy were a bit archetypal but definitely made a cute couple. Delphine and Canary's relationship was adoraaaable. I would love to see more yuri bodyguard couples out there, but they're a pretty rare sight. I can't think of anything else that has something like this. I was pretty creeped out at first since Canary looked like a little kid, but her profile said she was 19, so I guess it's alright. It's just classic anime art style stuff. Not much to say about Burnette, but it looks she rekindled her friendship with Rosemary in the credits. Hopefully, it'll redevelop into the romantic relationship they (probably) had before they split up (Evidence: "My... friend", Venus' comment). Cupid was an amusing character with his whole deadpan thing; moreover, it was definitely great of Nami to give us a non-binary character. Their mom randomly showing up out of the blue was a bit bizarre, but she provided some good scenes and scenes consisting of Cupid being a badass. Leandre was an interesting character; I felt like she got talked out of her evil scheme too easily, but, hey, that's just how the story is, and everything was resolved nicely in the end. Sage and Narciso made a very cute couple as well, and Sage's whole over-apologetic thing was very funny. Lupin... well, he's the only male stalker in a yuri work (or any work, really) who I've ever not hated, so I suppose that makes him a good character.
I like that reference to Tunnel Vision too, with Magnolia and ghosts being mentioned and all. That anchorwoman was a dead ringer for Magnolia, but I'm pretty sure she wasn't her unless I was misunderstanding her first line.
Also, TRUE ENDING?!? So, that means there are other endings? I did everything that I could in my first playthrough, so I suppose I'll just have to ignore everything and just continue on with the main story if I want to get some other endings.

I'm not sure if you got to the alternate ending, but I'm apparently missing something in the lab and I was wondering if you could maybe help me out a bit?
I got a true end and a bad end so far. (I think one just ended also so I probably did something wrong lmao) but I can try help if you like.
Have you received the true end before?
If not when you are in n the lab
Click the cat poster loads and loads and loads... you'll finally get it and it's needed lol
But I'm not honestly sure what you mean by alt end. Uhm if you have gotten the true end before... Hmm I don't recall anything being missing.
Sure I went straight to the locker and ignored everything when I was going for the bad end.

I guess the alt ending is pretty much like the normal ending. I've done all of them except the bad ending so far, but I'm kind of scared to do the bad ending...? I cry easily over characters I'm emotionally invested to and I don't want to see my babies upset ;(
It's not uber uber bad? Well I guess it is? Lmao. I mean it's a bad end.
I can give you the jist under a spoiler. You can look at it or not it's entirely fine either way but it gives you an option to know it if you end up not doing it at any rate!
So you sort of pick the wrong choices going through like telling RD not to let go of the kid and saying EH to the festival etc. You also sort of go through the story bare minimum. Think I ignored the poster also.
SO anyway the WORLD LOVE DOMINATION PLAN actually succeeds as RD can't talk her out of it and RC ends up under its spell too.
The bad end is essentially the world succumbing to it, RD being upset cause RC is also under it. Cupid leaves earth and doesn't help her and essentially it's implied shes going to spend all her free time, years and years learning how to make an antidote to save her partner no matter what it takes.
It ends before it lets you know if she ever succeeds or fails so essentially you are left in limbo with her going to devote her time into saving her and no answer =p
So yeah! You don't have to look but its there if you need it! Not the worst worst worst of bad endings I've ever had but it's not an ideal one either.
