Should I replay the main game before the DLCs?

I played the main game a year ago and it's not like I don't remember it, but I know it has a pretty complex story and I kinda forgot the details. So my question is: should I replay the main game to fully enjoy the DLCs? Or can I just go straight for them? Some advice would really help, thanks.

This game made me feel lonely

I'm normally not the type to feel lonely. I've been living my live for 25 years, mostly alone. No relationships, no friendships where you would meet up weekly or anything.

I don't know what it is, but after having played this game, I have this sad, pressing, lingering feeling of loneliness. Like I am not living my life, having missed out on so much. It's also sad I have no one I share experiences with. Just simple stuff, like talking about this game or whatever.

The feeling will fade again, I'm sure, but I am still surprise how much this game affected me and how much I could feel connected to it and its characters. How realistic the world was.

That's it, just had to get this out of my system I guess. 10/10 game.

This game has made me feel weird.

No game has ever captivated me like this one. I need people to talk to about it...

Personally, I've never felt "alone." In fact, I don't even identify much with any of the characters, so I don't understand why it bothered me so much.

It's been a couple of days since I finished it, and I've felt empty, with little desire to see my friends or partner... I just need to be alone and stare at the ceiling because memories of the characters keep flooding back, and it affects me too much...

I just needed to share my experience to vent, like Mark does when he talks to anonymous people... I loved this game; I've never cried so much, but now I guess I have to let it go... like Mark and Nicole, unfortunately :(

Consejos?

Ya voy por el capítulo 2, pero siento que hay cosas que no estoy haciendo, tendran consejos que puedan darme para disfrutar al 100% del juego? Por ejemplo vi que se pueden hacer cosas con el menú para que se vea mas lindo, lo digo porque el mio ahora mismo no muestra nada.

What an amazing experience (first reddit post!)

Man... This game. It had been a while since the last time I shed a tear for a videogame, but with Untill Then I wasnt prepared. I wasnt expecting much ngl, since here in Italy no one really talks about it, but my curiosity drived me to give it a shot.

And it was amazing

I loved everything about this game, the charachter designs, the visuals, the story, the music (dont get me started on the music). The plot was a bit confusing, especially in Act 3, but I dont really care that much about it. The emotional impact this story gave me will last for a loooong time, if not forever.

I'm ready to cry again with the Dlc, hoping is going to be as good as the main game, but it'll be hard.

Thank you so much Polychroma

Ayy they extended the Cathy Plushie Campaign by a week

This is good news, for many, but then again we'll have to wait longer to get her

Is it just me or are we overthinking the True Ending (maybe cope)

>!First and foremost, I bank on the idea that Mark and Nicole do eventually end up together despite how act 3 ended and this is why.!<

>!The way I understood the timeline resets is that it was purely dependent on the ability of Marcole to move on from their grief. Mark -> his mother, Nicole -> Jake.!<

>!In act 3, during the spirit realm I'm not sure if it's Maria or Jake but they mentioned that in all timelines and all possibilities they tried to make Marcole move on from their personalized grief,but they can't. This is further supported with Jake saying that the only thing that remained constant was Nicole trying to find him. !<

>!Hence with this, it paints the idea that the Ruling happens if either of them are unable to move on from their own grief as a symbolism of them destroying their own world's because they themselves are destroying themselves to live their lives fully. For Nicole, this makes her focus on living in the past which made her destroy her friendship with Alex. Mark, focusing on his mother's death blinded him from seeing how troubled Cathy was. !<

>!Thus following this, once they are able to accept their grief (which is the name of the achievement of finishing act3 "let go") their lives are brighter. Kate and Nicole are friends again, Cathy is alive, and that the Ruling never happened (hypothesized since Nicole most likely graduated from a different school)!<

>!NOWWWW what about the cafe scene. I think that scene represents that Nicole and Mark are truly destined to be together just like in every timeline, but properly within certain conditions. !<

>!This takes me back to Act 3, Louise suggested that the Ruling triggers when they meet up but my argument above proves otherwise, meaning, no, they aren't prevented by the fate of the world to meet, they are destined to meet eventually. I mean they meet in a cafe called "tadhana" which translates to fate or in this context fated. When Mark calls the waiter Nicole looks at him for a while and is even in the center of his POV for a while (Nicole is the center of Mark's life?????). This essentially means that they may not be together as a couple by then, but eventually they will.!<

>!Anyway that's my theory for the ending, I'm happy to discuss it further in the comments if I sound too messy haha!<

I just finished the Sparks DLC

>!I'm Assuming the Sparks timeline is one of the "Very first" timelines that the 2 butterflies made Because the ruling was barely mentioned so I assume it wasn't as bad!<

>!My assumption is that Nicole and Mark get "Closer" every new Cycle they do, in the Sparks timeline (which I assume is one of the very first) Nicole and Marks relationship was iffy, they didn't communicate and they stagnated, while in Act 1 and Act 2 they did try to communicate!<

>!I think, while they both don't have memories of the past loops, they subconsciously "know" what they should do, like growing as people but not having memories of what made them grow!<

>!I first had this idea during the Act 3 ending where after the "Spirit world" or whatever you call it Nicole and Mark knew what they should do the moment they got back to the New Timeline, Nicole instantly went to Kate to fix their friendship and Mark was even MORE motivated to go find Cathy even tho he Just found out his mom died, even when both of them Have no Memory of the things in the "Spirit world" that made them realize what they should actually do to overcome their Issues!<

But hey I could be wrong :p
