The third game in the series and the worst game in the series. This is supposed to be the culmination of the previous two Parascientific Escape games, but instead it's a confused and muddled mess. The script is absolutely riddled with typos, a typical scene would contain at least a dozen mistakes (even misspelling proper nouns referring to important in-game places and concepts). The story itself is all over the place, a poorly executed rendition of a boring concept. The puzzles are OK, but sometimes lean into some serious logic leaps. I would not recommend this game, even to players of the previous games.

I could say many things about this, but it all boils down to, I wish this game had a lot more budget, it would have been peak.

Completed on 3DS. Seriously, WTF happened here? The first game was pretty fun, but this one is downright frustrating. Remember the cast from the first game? Pretty much non-existent here. Akeno and the other girl (forgot her name, sorry) were cool, but they were replaced with some other two. And these guys just don’t compare at all. The gameplay of the first game was completely renovated for something infinitely more frustrating. You have a time travel mechanic, but I swear it’s either bugged up the ass or just frustrating to work with. 90% of the time it was just trial and error. Also, every other chapter is a boring text adventure. You have to go to certain places and talk to certain people. Not only is it unfun, it just kills the pace. Furthermore, I wish the game marked where you needed to go when you triggered a certain dialogue. That would’ve made it a lot easier. Overall, it’s a mediocre mess that I just can’t bring myself to recommend .
