Lucid9 is a freeware mystery Visual Novel developed by Fallen Snow Studios using Ren'Py. It is being released in three separate chapters and is currently a work in progress.Yama Ishimoto is a cynical high school student who would like nothing more than to breeze through life without any drama. After a string of student disappearances in his home city of Isamu, however, Yama finds himself slowly dragged into a world of intrigue and danger.The first chapter, Inciting Incident, was released on April 14th, 2016, and consists of the entirety of the common route. The second chapter, which splits off into the different heroine routes and takes place 3 years after the events of Inciting Incident, is currently in development, and slated to release at the end of 2024. The third chapter, corresponding to a True Route, has also been planned for future release. In late December of 2019, the development team released the Lucid9 Heroine Prologues, which act as a teaser for the heroine routes and can only be accessed after Inciting Incident is complete.A fully voiced version of Inciting Incident is also in development. It was originally planned for a 2017 release but was delayed several times due to numerous difficulties in casting and resources. On January 19th, 2021, a standalone build of the game patched with the voiceovers of Inciting Incident's first three days was made available for direct download. It is tentatively planned for the chapter's full voiceover to be patched to the Steam and itch.io versions of the game later in the year.Heavy spoilers below, read at your own risk!

Villain Opening Scene: The game starts with a scene of the (at that point faceless) murderer violently carving up an unfortunate Academy student and being contacted by his unnamed employer, before transitioning to Yama's usual school antics.

Genre Shift
 Lucid9 (Visual Novel) / int_177a6464
comment
Genre Shift: Inciting Incident starts out largely as a light hearted high school Slice of Life Romantic Comedy with only a few dark moments. Past the halfway point however, it starts to transition to a Darker and Edgier murder mystery bordering on Psychological Horror. The narrative goes back to a more lighthearted tone after Yama's encounter with the killer, only to come crashing back down again when Yama's discovers that Rui and her parents have been murdered.

Bridal Carry: Early on, at one point Rui trips and sprains her ankle, so Yama ends up having to carry her bridal style on their way to school. However, she is then able to just walk into school without a problem—it turns out her ankle wasn't actually sprained, it was a plan of Akira's to matchmake Yama and Rui.

Shoot the Shaggy Dog
 Lucid9 (Visual Novel) / int_272abb98
comment
Shoot the Shaggy Dog: The ending of Inciting Incident is this; notably, the player is the shaggy dog in this instance, making it a Deconstruction of the Multiple Endings sub-genre of visual novels. Since most players will play the game blind their first time, they're likely to get a bad ending where Rui dies either at the hands of an insane Yama or the psychotic Ryota. After realizing their error, the player will try and retry (and maybe use a guide) and finally choose all of the right choices and manage to escape with both Rui and Yama still alive. Things seem to return to normal until Yama is forced to move back in with his parents thanks to the danger he was recently in. He goes to Rui's house one more time to say goodbye and finally confess his feelings towards her. When he gets there? She's already dead, lying in a pool of her own blood. So much for a Good Ending.

Bilingual Bonus: At one point, when Yama admits he's never heard of Patter, Misaki asks him if he's been living under a rock. Yama replies that technically, that is what his name would imply. This is because Yama's last name, Ishimoto, means "one who lives near a rock" in Japanese.

Bland-Name Product: Aikon phones are revered for their toughness, the main characters often eat at General Fried Chicken and dorm manager Mr. Ryouta nostalgically remembers his old iPear computer. The characters also use Patter as their primary social media platform, though Yama hasn't heard of it before the game takes place.

comment
Another one forms between the lazy and cynical Yama and the motivated and hard-working Elizabeth over the course of the game. Despite initially being at odds with each other, it turns out that Elizabeth sees a lot of potential in Yama, and is mainly annoyed by his lack of motivation causing that potential to go to waste. Following Elizabeth revealing this to Yama, as well as the two revealing their Hidden Depths, their bickering becomes much more friendly and teasing like, to the point where Yama becomes comfortable enough to have a heart-to-heart with her about his feelings for Rui at the end of Inciting Incident.

Noodle Incident
 Lucid9 (Visual Novel) / int_3c0a4666
comment
Noodle Incident: As Yama muses after the incident is over, we still don't know why the culprit committed all these murders, as the culprit's answers are very vague. We know that the culprit despises modern architecture, the culprit sees himself as disciplining the world, he wants something from Yahiko Ikari's family, and he compares himself to an Aztec god whose favor the city must earn by appeasing him with blood, but none of this explains what his specific reason was for his crimes.

Mysterious Waif: Subverted in Misaki's case; the scene that introduces her seems to set her up as one when she transfers to school, but she's actually a childhood friend of Yama's and she has a mischievous personality. Played straight with Airi, who rarely speaks and has an aloof personality. In fact, at one point this actually causes Airi's classmates to suspect her of being behind the students disappearing. She's not, the culprit is someone completely different.

Downer Ending: After Yama and Rui had finally been rehabilitated, Rui and her family are murdered. If you have gotten close to any of the other girls, the common route leaves off on Yama finding their bodies. However, if you haven't, Yama will not receive encouragement to visit and confess to Rui, resulting in him finding out about her death by a phone call instead, and committing suicide by overdosing on pills.

comment
Cynicism Catalyst: It turns out that Yama has become indifferent, cynical, and self-loathing because one of his best friends moved away and his sister died in a bus accident while protecting him. Shigure is the way she is because the man she was betrothed to was murdered by someone Shigure herself thought was innocent of the crime the two had been investigating, and Shigure has blamed herself for her betrothed's death ever since because she and her betrothed didn't believe in each other.

The Reveal: Two of them: First, Yama finally manages to deduce the culprit's identity near the end of the game, and the culprit is Jirou Ryouta, the seemingly inconspicuous dorm manager, of all people. Second, after the worst seems to be over, Natsuki pays a visit to Yama's apartment and tells him that while Ryouta was indeed the culprit, he wasn't really the one behind the whole plan, and in fact Ryouta was just a pawn.

Tabletop RPG: In Inciting Incident's good ending, the eight main heroes play one to celebrate Yama and Rui being discharged from the hospital with Airi as the Game Master, who puts the story into an English Steampunk setting. Courtesy of Yahiko, they play using specially designed Augmented Reality glasses as opposed to pen and paper.

Mock Millionaire: Elizabeth. She seems rich due to her demeanor, but this is a deliberate act on her part. Actually, her family is poor and she can only attend the school because she won an academic scholarship. In fact, this is actually why she and Yama are on bad terms; it turns out Yama once did no work on his half of a shared project, and came dangerously close to costing Elizabeth her scholarship, which is her livelihood.

"Not So Different" Remark
 Lucid9 (Visual Novel) / int_984ef9ef
comment
"Not So Different" Remark: In the bad endings, Yama loses it and just kills the hostages, prompting the culprit to claim that he and Yama aren't so different. But it turns out that they are- Yama doesn't want bloodshed, he wants revenge, so he kills the culprit and then thinks about turning his rage onto the rest of humanity. Basically, Yama kills people out of hatred, not because he's an "artiste" like the culprit.

Episodic Game: A visual novel variant. The game is being released in three different "episodes", consisting of the common route, heroine routes, and true route respectively. However, due to new chapters acting as free updates to the base game, players will need to complete them in chronological order. As a side effect, unlike common routes in most visual novels, which are fairly short and mainly used to introduce the player to the world and its characters, Inciting Incident has its own story arc relating to the overall plot and is significantly longer as a result. The heroine routes and true routes expand upon the overarching story already introduced in Inciting Incident.

Red Herring: Throughout Inciting Incident, three different characters are falsely suspected of being the culprit, when the true murderer is someone else entirely. Airi is used as a scapegoat for the murders by her classmates due to her mysterious and aloof nature, but Yama quickly shoots this possibility down due to lack of concrete evidence. Yama himself experiences memory lapses as a result of the trauma from his sister's death. He thinks he might be undergoing a split personality change and murdering people during these lapses, but he's ultimately able to prove himself wrong. Yahiko is personally connected to the victims, and a lot of evidence points to him being the culprit. But it's not him either. In fact, it's revealed the true culprit was trying to break Yahiko emotionally by murdering classmates he's connected with, though besides wanting something from the Ikari family why he did this remains unanswered thus far.

Mr. Imagination: Female example; Akira frequently imagines scenarios in her head that she then acts out. It turns out this is because she thinks this is how she'll make other people happy. Although it also appears to be genuine, as she continues to act different after she reveals that part to Yama.
