[ zero escape ] this game is revving up brain cells I haven't used in years
I forgot why I liked these kinds of games and now I remember why
point and clicks with good puzzles are actually pretty challenging
also akane's adorable. I knew this buying this game on a whim wasn't a mistake
zero escape is the dark souls of puzzle games
DARK SOULS SONG - YOU DIED! this is the only thing i know about dark souls, so i say it's probably legit
it's for the best I'd say
the joke is that journalists often make the comparison that "x is the dark souls of y" because dark souls got popular off the fact that people would wank its difficulty a lot, so an easy comparison to get clicks is to say that instead of just saying a game has depth
ffff
this is going to be the end of me
wait no I'm
a big dumb and got it after thinking about it for a second
hell yeah I did
[junpei voice] exactly as keikaku
oh lord, godspeed
only now do I realize santa voices jean from snk
this is even more hilarious now
whoa
this was the exact OPPOSITE of what I wanted
this is the kind of content I wanted
this is so cliche but I love it anyway
junpei is so fucking dumb goddamnit
junpei being dumb is endearing and hilarious
do not want
but lord you got the saddest ending right away, go you!
I just wanted to be with akane 
bless Santa
he's so good. he's dumb, but he's a good
i will probably say that about almost the entire cast though
so
:')
adorable
/wheezes akane is the cutest
I TRUSTED YOU
that gun is cartoonishly big and the line on the hands makes no sense but I guess it kind of fits
A lot of Zero escape CGs make no sense. I make fun of Santa and Junpei’s yaoi hands a lot.
Well I guess just 999 has that problem.
I like the art overall...it's got a nice feel to it
Very fitting for a DS game
Also I got a bad end...and now I really have no clue what to do
Access the flow chart
Which doors you take affect the ending.
There’s no shame in using s walkthrough for which doors to take or I can tell you
I think I understand now
time to try, try again
Luckily the way it’s set up you don’t have to do any escape room twice. Bless the remake.
Doing the first room 5/6 times was hell.
Y e p
Akane is. Something.
oh no...he's doing _that_ pose
I can't believe it's all starting to come together, this is probably my favorite part about a mystery
aaaah you're getting to the good parts!!!
this gun will never not make me laugh
but zero, that's the thing
the whole game's the good part
999 is such a good game. it's so well written and just, it gets better
when ace is such a dick that he activates the blind guy opens his eyes trope
that's gonna be hard
jfkl;ajfklads;
but yeah, ace is pretty much awful and it's great
NOT AGAIN
when you spill an entire plate of spaghetti
ah yes, you got the meme
the meme pose
what do you MEAN this doesn't work
there aren't enough balls for this to work 
I take it back this is genius
it took me a bit to remember that one, yeah you have to think outside the box
this is so fucking funny to me
god I wish that were me
congrats on getting your true end
I tried my hardest
I did it for her
I did it for her
in the end, it didn't really matter
relatable
Junpei is a good boy
of all the things to end on
this
that's game I guess, time to pack it in
haha 999 with the flowchart ability is a pretty short game
but yeah vlr will explain that image and who that is
but i'm glad you played 999 and i really, really, really hoped you liked it. it's definitely one of my top favorite games.
i'd also link you some things the director answered about 999 that's really cool, but it also has vlr stuff on the same page and i don't wanna spoil you for that
I pretty much passed out immediately after finishing the game but I agree, it was a great game, definitely one of the better experiences I've had in a while. The puzzles got me to think which is something I can always appreciate.
this is mean
good answer
"world's worst heroine" im dying
this guy is something else
Uchikoshi is hilarious when it comes to things. But yeah.
Junpei just gets. To suffer forever.
what did he do to deserve this
also holy shit this is scary 
I feel like I'm gonna be sinking a lot more time into this than I did 999
I feel like I'm gonna be sinking a lot more time into this than I did 999
Got the wrong girl to fall in love with him.
And yeah. Vlr is easily 40 hours.
But it’s really good
akane did nothing wrong
I think
there it is
Sigma and Phi's banter is hilarious
holy fucking shit sigma you're the best narrator a guy could ask for
I just wish he was voiced
it's really jarring going from 999 with junpei's great voice acting to...nothing
i.... there is a reason
i will just leave it at that
but yeah going from a 12 year old narrating to a 22 year old is great
i love how the writing style changes
poor sigma
my brain isn't big enough for this puzzle
seconds after saying that,
i love how zero escape does that
you figure it out like 2 seconds after complaining it's too hard
it's happened so many times that I should be used to it by now
but instead the game continues to surprise me
oh my god phi and sigma are so fucking stupid together
:3c
there's a lot i want to say but i'm just going to keep replying with emojis and emoticons
why do the good die young
bye felicia
luna deserved better, probably
maybe
I didn't like k initially and I probably won't but this is
cool
oh my fucking god the timeline got even bigger
I DIDN'T WANT THIS
ahahaha
i know where you are
and i know what's going to happen soon
you're close to the true VLR experience
you don't know how sad I am that this doesn't make the sand grains fall down
don't tell me it gets worse
fajsdfl;gvij;ojgvj;erio
no
you'll see what happens
this is hilarious
this brings back fond umineko memories
FUN FACT
UMINEKO IS THE REASON I GOT INTO 999 BACK IN 2010
who writes this shit
I love Zero Escape so much "shit gets unreal"
it's so stupid
I love it
sigma asking people for permission to do the most inane things
deng
is
a running gag I can get behind
hacker voice I'm in
holy shit, I can finally see sigma
I guess my theory that he's actually an old man is bust
he just looks like a drug addict according to phi
wait
HE IS AN OLD MA
N
dio's face is either broken or I'm looking at it the wrong way
it looks like the joey meme face from yugioh
not another one of these
“To be continued” the game.
:’)
I hate this 
I feel like such trash already I can't do this
Also I highly recommend having a pen and paper for this game. You need to know a lot of passwords.
deng
is
it possible to get through the game without betraying anyone
I feel like...a traitor
Nope.
It’s gonna hurt but you gotta press that betray button to beat the game.
Once you start playing it and getting the flow chart filled out, you’ll figure out how to play the game.
The beginning is just slow and a lot of “I’ll try this next?” And escape rooms.
It already hurts and I only saw the results screen before switching over to another timeline
I take it back, fuck tenmyouji
BETRAY EVERYTHING
shut up phi I just wanted everyone to be happy
I swear this is Akane speaking, I could recognize her voice a mile away through a shitty walkie talkie
you and me both sigma
god DAMN dio is a real piece of shit
Tenmyouji 
wait how does THIS work
alice betrayed me when I picked ally...and now she picks ally when I go to betray
IT DID IT AGAIN WHY
there it is. that's what this whole game has been building up to. the 30+ hours I've put into this have finally become worth it
hm. really makes me think
well. That's new
sigma "ploughs everything with a pulse for five miles" klim
THERE IT IS
I'm so fucked up
you can't do this to me
I need this game to stop
there he is. Eren's dad
I feel like I should tag diakurosawa
just sigma things
HERE IT COMESTHE TERMITE TALK
I wanna die?
ahahaha, Tenmyouji's ending is so painful
he didn't deserve this
he did not deserve this at all. none of it
THE TERMITES
I'm glad you finally noticed, you were on the mind the whole way through me playing this game
aaaaaAAAAAAAAAAAAA
HAHAHAHAHAH
I hate this game
just let junpei and akane smash that's all I ever asked for
and yet
Yet all you get is this pain.
that's sigma all right
akane aged well
VLR just confirms that Junpei has a hella sad story after 999
he deserved so much more
how can the game expect me to diet for other people when I barely know what to eat myself
"seigi no mikata da" go fuck yourself dio
oh god what the hell happened here
sigma's ability to memorize long strings of numbers and letters freaks me out
HOW CAN ANYONE DO THIS
magic
I'm laughing so fucking hard
and now I'm sad
aaaaaaaaaaAAAAAAAAAAA 
Luna ;w;
luna made me real sad
I'm close to the ending. I can feel it
this Q room is really making me wish I had grid paper still though
I'm scared
this reminds me of that scene in f/sn where you get three options to choose from and they're all "save ilya" except this time it's save akane
this was absolutely intentional
that's game I guess
I guess the only question I really have for all this was why the hell sigma was chosen or so special, that really confused me but I guess it can't be helped
I'm only a few minutes in and I've got a lot of problems but at least they're together again
that's all that matters
luna looks...goofy
My interpretation is that it’s because he had the potential and also Akane saw him in her visions. Because she was the one to kidnap him Christmas Day in 2028
But yes. Zero time dilemma. Godspeed.
it took me until I opened the game just now to realize that there's no way this is luna because the game is set like fifty years before vlr ever happened
really liking the emphasis on sigma's chest here, he's got the biggest pair in the whole game
and somehow I accidentally killed all of team q. woops. I guess it's time for akane to let it rip
oh my fucking god junpei is so fucking edgy
I love it
just bang already
Haha the UST room. God.
And yeah. Diana and Luna are related in a sense that sigma designed Luna off Diana.
the amount of angry passes junpei and akane are making
it's insane
I'm quickly realizing just how badly akane misses old junpei and I can't blame her but I still love my edgy lad
Edgy Junpei is so good.
And it’s great how vocal Akane is that she doesn’t like this new Junpei. Like girl. This is partially your fault.
Partially??
well actually yeah you're right it's only partial but it's. A Big part
god. I just want them to kiss and make up though I doubt that's gonna happen.
just like junpei's optimism
they've still got it
NOT LIKE THIS
it's time
G O D S P E E D
actually akane's finest hour will have to wait, I forgot about a room I meant to do earlier
this is like. 1:1 something eren would say. You're doing great, Junpei
I hate this
oh my god fuck mira
she's worse than dio
ACTUALLY WORSE THAN DIO
HOW THE HELL IS THIS EVEN POSSIBLE
WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS
they seriously smashed in a time travel pod. Nothing will ever top this
It gets worse
I'm glad you're here to see this
AAAAIABDJEJSIJWKSMS
CARLOS YOU CAN'T JUST SAY THAT
with that out of the way it's time to end this series
here it is
and that's game
suffice to say I was not disappointed with the series, like, once
people said ztd was pretty trash and that the complex motivations were a copout...idk, maybe, but all the same I really rather liked it. Honestly.
once you get over the animations the whole thing's not too bad besides it's lack of linearity which is understandable considering the way the story's laid out. It's kind of meant to be confusing as fuck. Which isn't very user friendly, admittedly.
this is just two hours longer than I spent on 999 and vlr individually
it's probably it wasn't as easy to skip voice lines the way it was in the first two
