I finally got through all of the main route content, and I can't overstate how satisfying it was to read through. So much so, it was a struggle to pacify the internal dissonance stemming from the knowledge (and frequent visual and narrative reminders) that this is a furry VN -- a subgenre of a subgenre notorious for amateur projects and shallowness, and casual, emotionally masturbatory gratification -- with the actual quality, thoughtfulness, and humanity of what I was reading. I would love to know what other creative works the members of the writing team have put out there "officially", besides what's listed on the Minoh Workshop creator page, but anonymity no doubt takes precedence.

Anyway, that aside, there is one possible plot hole or oversight I would like to discuss. Within the Labyrinth's Constitution, under Fragment B, it is stated that the token of ownership, the deed to the hotel, reverts back to the Overseer upon the death of the previous owner --  apropos Clément -- if there are no applicable living relatives. Assuming I read everything correctly, it was explained by Hermes that this was a necessary part of their plot for setting things right, with the death of Clément providing the result that "the deed reverted to the old man." The old man, of course, almost certainly being Zeus. But it was indicated by Nikos during the altercation in the final segment of Chapter 18 that Hermes was his Overseer, and indeed that Hermes has been masterminding the affairs of the Argoi. This seems to contradict the Constitution and the reversion to Zeus -- is Zeus the Overseer of the Labyrinth as per the terms of the Constitution, or is Hermes? Are the Overseer of the Labyrinth and the Overseer of the Argoi two separate positions entirely, with an unfortunately shared style leading to this particular confusion? My apologies if this is not some kind of oversight, and instead is clarified in some portion I missed or misunderstood, or another part of the game in the Ruthless route.

I haven't read 4ch Quests (and their equivalents on other sites) in a while -- they're past their heyday, unfortunately. Some of the older ones were a real treat. Which ones would you recommend, as someone that was involved in that community? There are so many on the archive (among which, most are pretty unappealing), and I'm curious if there's anything worthwhile I've missed. 

I've been going through multiple permutations of the Hinterlands section, trying to find outcomes that lead directly to the Hotel and anything in relation to finding the missing child. I got through the butterfly wall at the pond, but I'm really not sure what to make of the shack scene, or what it changes (if anything).

My brain is suggesting to me that it's probably actually impossible for Pedro and Oscar to find the Hotel during Hinterlands, and that they just reach the Hotel during a future chapter as a mandated part of the main plot. But I still can't help but feel that I'm missing significant secrets or outcomes in the Hinterlands beyond the straightforward stuff involving the tapir and the 12. Can anyone shed some light on this?
