This could have just as easily have been written as an alone ending, where Aoba only deals with Toue. But, I couldnвЂ™t help likening the change to that of an adolescent going through puberty. It was so sad to see him push Aoba away, especially when there was no real explanation for his personality shift. DonвЂ™t get me wrong when Ren began to malfunction, I developed some strong feels about the situation. I would have liked to have seen Toue directly target Ren, rather than some arbitrary mass allmate attack. That was a really poor way to introduce RenвЂ™s erratic behavior. Then there was that whole business with the allmate malfunction. I had a really hard time believing that Aoba would honestly develop feelings for his former pet. Both issues were given equal representation during the course of the route, but the romance/relationship conflict felt a little forced. There where two central conflicts in RenвЂ™s route the first being the changing relationship between Aoba and Ren, and the second being ToueвЂ™s mind control scheme. I never knew he had that much anger in him. He is one repressed uke, I was extremely surprised at how emotionally unstable he is, both normally and as a result of his Scrap personality. However, I do want to make note of AobaвЂ™s temper. I was very impressed with the writing for Aoba this time around, it was refreshing!В Uke unchained Aoba, more than made up for all the weak,В wishy washy behavior from hisВ previous iterations throughout the game. He does more in this route than heвЂ™s done in any of the other routes of the game, even HagaвЂ™s taser gets its time to shine too. Because he doesnвЂ™t have someone to latch on to like in the other routes, the writers were able to showcase his abilities much more prominently. In this route he really steps up and becomes a badass, I would have never guessed Aoba was such a capable individual, based on his characterization in the rest of the game. It allowed for Aoba to fully develop as a character. I was really looking forward some sexy bishie Ren sprites, but having Ren stay in his doggie form was an unexpected boon for the overall plot. Welcome to the Midnight Blue CoastДЇor a majority of the story, Ren stays in his cute fwuffy doggie form, which was a bit of a drag. During that time, Ren begins to doubt the bond he and Aoba share, becoming noticeably more moody and aloof. His feelings for Aoba run much deeper than what is typically expected of allmates, this is especially evident when he is infected by an allmate programming bug. Beneath his calm exterior, Ren harbors some very deep and conflicting emotions towards Aoba. While he maintains a calm demeanor throughout the game, Ren has been known to becomeВ emotionally expressive when Aoba is in trouble. However, he has a hard time understanding some informal sayings because he has a tendency to take things literally, which leads to some cute misunderstandings. Despite being a adorable fwuffy a robo-dog, Ren is very mature, serving as the voice of reason/conscience for Aoba throughout all of the routes of the game. Aoba seeвЂ™s Ren as more than a partner, regarding him as a sibling. Several characters, namely Mink and Noiz, remark that Aoba has an unhealthy attachment to Ren. He and Aoba share a close bond that extends far beyond that of normal allmate/human relations. He is an older allmate model, so Aoba usually has to perform regular maintenance on him to keep him in tip top shape. While in Rhyme, Ren takes on the appearance of a mega hottie with a body muscular man, with dark blue hair. Ren is AobaвЂ™s allmate companion, his default appearance is that of a small dark blue Japanese Spitz. So without further ado, the last DMMd route, hereвЂ™s Ren! I will try to keep the spoilers to a minimum,В but this is the True canon route of the game, so that might be easier said than done. So, unlike the other reviews I plan on keeping this as short as possible, so I can fit in my overall final thoughts on the game at the end, besides I pretty much got all my ranting out in the Tumblr live blog. This is a huge achievement for me, I usually play one route and never touch the game again. First, I canвЂ™t believe that IвЂ™m finally done with this game! DRAMAtical Murder was the first game I reviewed on this blog and it has taken me nine whole months to get through it all.
