My sister's friend by SupD

             


Standard 10 minute scenario for v2, several routes are opened but none of them are developed in the slightest, it is just the overall setup of what the author wanted to make.

In one route John wishes Circe to be his girlfriend and Circe to match him more to her preferences he makes him a clone of herself (apparently Circe is into selfcest maybe?), in the other route John wishes to be closer to Holly so Circe morphs him into a twin sister someone else related to Holly, you should choose between Katrina's family, Leona's, Yui's, Riley's, Abby's or a random person's, but aside Yui and Holly, all of them ended up in an instant placeholder.

The Yui route would introduce a new blue-haired girl that hasn't appeared in canon yet so I forgot her name, probably as an original character in the scenario.

In the Katrina route, you become Scarlet's twin and you can choose to sleep with someone from the family for the night. It's because of this route that the scenario has been removed since it depicted underage characters in lewd situations. Overall, you do not lot lose anything, really, I left the only idea I found actually interesting as the preview: people generating memories with you based on how you treat them on your first day as a twinned person, nothing else.

By what I could see this scenario felt like it was going to be a big project focused on twinning, but by the results of it I have to say we have to keep looking for something else.

Twisted Minds by Bladecutter

 



Twisted Minds is another 20-minute scenario that opens several paths for TF stories but that ends too soon before any of them can really develop.

In summary, Riley (named now Michael) gets a smartphone-like device from a being proclaiming to be an alien (Circe) laughing at him once he leaves due to his own ingenuity. After trying it once that night, Michael takes it with him to school and while trying to enter the chooses several paths to the class covered with bullies.

In the main entrance, there is Sarah (Sayaka), in the fields, there is Tony (Eric), in the garden, there is Valerie (Tori), depending on the actions of the user Michael can get to where his friend Kate (Katrina) is and show her the device. Choosing the wrong option will make each one of the bullies take control over the device, all of them go crazy in their own routes.

Since the Kate route starts with a placeholder, the only thing this scenario has to offer are the small routes where the bullies make Riley suffer in different ways. I would recommend it for fans of masochism, but please also take into account that the scenario has a bit of loose logic (even when not to the point of Harem) and some people will dislike the name changes as well.

Twisted Lives by ZeBeste

 



Fan cover made by me

Perhaps one of the most curious scenarios for v2. While most early scenarios had fast, unfinished dialogues trying to get into the account as fast as possible, Twisted Lives has exaggeratedly elaborate prose that edges with parody and comedy.

Apparently, Zebeste, the writer of the scenario, hadn't written any sort of fictional story in well over a decade, and that ended up in verbiage that doesn't necessarily add up to the story and even slow down the pace by a whole lot. All characters have the same voice and cadence, and all of them deep down into introspection, explaining every single feeling they do have onscreen.

Now, while this makes the scenario sound bad, I found it actually pretty enjoyable and even superb, the way things unfold and the way the sequences are ordered makes up for great mystery and intrigue since the reader has to puzzle together the order things happen to make sense out of the story, and aside from the cadence issue, the verbiage adds up to the surreal atmosphere the scenario has, even when everybody has the same voice the scenario has no more than 4 characters in total, and just seeing all these characters talk so deeply is refreshing for old v2 scenarios.

Now, what is the story about? I don't really want to say too much about it this time since I think you should check it and experience it yourself, trust me, it is quite curious. What I will say is that apparently John and Katrina have certain subconscious wishes deep inside them and the way these wishes are granted is... bizarre, to say the least, more spoilers on the tags of the scenario.

The scenario is around 20 minutes long-only and it is currently abandoned, I asked Zebeste, he didn't have too much planned aside from what it is shown here, but even then for what it has now, it's worth checking out.

Demonic Experience by Knightmare49

 


After a long rant that takes half of the scenario where KN49 tells us why he couldn't update The Tale of the Loser that month because his dad took his laptop borrowed, the author shows us the idea for a story where Kat becomes a demon.

Kat mentions being hurt and goes to the park and meets Circe and because of a curse she has gotten from who is it implied to be Setsuna, she says she has little time to live, and instead of spreading her energy in the mana of all the earth, she decides to give that power to Katrina instead.

Afterward, Katrina takes her form, Circe gives her the spellbook she used, and finally disappears. Katrina wanders around and finds Elizabeth who is feeling frustrated with her life as a maid with Cassie, and since Katrina as a demon needs negative energy to survive, she asks herself if she should use her or find someone else.

That it's, that's the whole scenario, I don't know what do you expect me to say aside from what I have said of other scenarios, it ends too quickly, nothing happens, etc. The author says Katrina would have been very carefree with her own power and that is why she chose her, but since the project is abandoned it seems we will never get to see why.
