hi there nice to meet ya

I mean, when we see the computer from the outside at the end of the pilot, Pomni's real body isn't there wearing the headset, and since the others have been trapped in the circus for much longer, their bodies would have died from lack of food and water, But there aren't any corpses surrounding the computer either.

So it's very likely they actually didn't get sucked into the game at all, but the headset copied their memories (minus their names) and personality onto an AI before dumping it in the circus. Meanwhile their real bodies thought nothing happened and just left the building.

so like during the sweet capn cakes fight if you keep doing different [ACT]s without progressing the fight, eventually sweet and capn will lose power and pass out, leaving you with only k_k. and then k_k will follow you around noelle style so you can help him find a jumper cable or whatever to revive the other two.

when you enter fights with k_k, theres no actual way to destroy enemies, but you can [ACT] command him to dance with enemies, and if you keep doing it foes will literally die from exhaustion

because killing through [ACT]ing doesn't count as an actual kill, k_k does not "get stronger" when enemies are defeated, and the game doesnt recognize the player as being on an Evil Route. and so things are Scarily normal. k_k can tell that something is wrong but he keeps going along with it because nobody else seems to notice it

and so the game continues normally (except youre still fucking killing people) all the way up until after the queen fight, and it culminates with you actually killing her (with k_ks special move viberate) which gives you the Queen's Cables.

and you take the cables back to ralsei and susie who seem unaffected by the fact that you just Killed the queen. and you part ways with k_k and head to the dark fountain where the game continues and ends normally. The End

post route stuff.. i think after kris leaves the dark world, the game starts catching up with itself and the darkners start Realizing what happened, but nobody can really remember it Except K_K
