uchikoshi try not to make a reference to zero escape challenge (IMPOSSIBLE)

(i enjoyed the game btw I thought it was good)

I dont remember anything about this game but thats probably for the best.

The twist is kinda cool and I absolutely love Ryuki and Tama as a duo

It's unfortunately nowhere close to peak like the first game is...

I genuinely can't believe they went from 999, VLR and the first Somnium Files to this. It's so fucking bad.

The game takes everything good from the first game and refuses to give us more of it.

The characters are much worse than in the last game. All of the first AI characters are here just for the sake of being here. They don't do nor provide anything to the plot besides standing there and being the target for questions that they never know the answer for. Ryuki is SO BAD as a protagonist. Mizuki is a bit better but still, I can't believe they went from Date to this. Date carried the first game hard, he made it interesting and his funny bits are ALWAYS funny. These 2 new protagonists are nothing like him.

The plot is utter garbage. Perdiod. I'm almost sure Uchikoshi decided to ask his 5 year old cousin to write a story for the second AI game. The twists are boring and predictable, the pace is TERRIBLE (one of the worst I've ever seen), they force you to go around asking stuff every time the plot moves 1 fucking milimeter and every question our character asks we both already know the answer for and is useless. God I loved how the first game set up the mystery, the murders, how you NEVER knew WHO or WHEN the next murder was going to happen. How BIZARRE some of the routes where... I genuinely can't believe how we are here.

Now for the comedy... Listen, the first game had a good balance between seriousness and comedy. The comedy was there but wasn't predominant, they threw bits here and there in the most stupid places ever and it felt good, it made me at least crack a smile, but this one... God it's awful, at the very least half of the game is pure comedy, it NEVER takes itself serious. Comedy is fine but don't lose focus, we ain't here for Comedy Central, we are here for a good suspense, murder mystery plot with time travel and the rest of the shennanigans on the Uchikoshi games. This ain't fucking IT.

I honestly don't understand how ANYONE thinks this is a good game. It feels like the author basically wanted to test how much they can laugh at the players. I genuinely don't see how they make a third game or go from here, it is THAT bad.
