I mean, let’s be real, there didn’t need to be a ghost in the bathroom. It doesn’t do anything except add supernatural elements to an allegedly “serious” crime game. Though the sheer amount of anime tropes kill any of the seriousness it could have she had(notice how even the serious anime’s tend to avoid using tropes outside of intentionally comedic scenes used to give the audience a breather?).Funny thing is a lot of the questions YandereDev set up for the lore to answer either don't need to be answered at all, or have a much simpler way to answer them.
"Why does every teacher know Martial Arts?"
Considering how the School has a Martial Arts Club, you could just use the excuse that they learned Martial Arts from visiting there a few times (Hell Alex even said that Raibaru was very willing to teach anybody when she was the club leader). That or just say they used to train at a Dojo that recently closed down or something.
"Why does the Headmaster hate children?"
I don't know if Alex knows this, since he was home schooled for most of his life, but it's fairly common for the principal or headmaster of a school to be a complete curmudgeon who despises children. That really doesn't need an explanation.
"Why do the police not do through investigations?"
Also doesn't need an explanation, people can just accept this through "Video Game Logic". Nobody questions why when you beat up a Drug Dealer in Grand Theft Auto, you don't see the police doing a through investigation and eventually showing up to your house with a warrant for your arrest. Besides, his reasoning for it is terrible anyways.
"Why does the Headmaster have a Stun Gun?"
Just say that he is either extremely paranoid, and/or he is extremely protective of himself. Either way, it's a simple answer that also adds a bit to his character. The same answer could apply to the Katana.
"Why aren't Ayano's parents around"
It's a common anime trope to have teenagers live by themselves, doesn't need an explanation.
The only questions I could think of, but couldn't think of a very simple answer too are the following:
"Why does Megami know who Ayano is?"
"Why is there a ghost in the girl's bathroom?"
To be honest, both of those factoids could just be removed. The former would actually make Megami a bit more believable of a character and a bit less of a Mary Sue, and would still make sense for a playthrough where you are killing everyone (I think it's reasonable for somebody to bump up security in an area where they know a lot of people are going missing and/or getting killed). The later should have happened anyways (Alex stop pretending you own Fun Girl).
I’m starting to think this massive lore is just there to give him excuses to not finish the game
Agree. And his laugh is unbearable.
Is there anything not creepy about him? He literally sounds like a nasal pedophile, his fetishes are exposed in all their creepy glory, his face is as unfortunate as they come, his arms are disgustingly hairy, he’s pale as a ghost, he clearly suffers from some sort of mental illness and depression, he’s a massive collection of red flags
