as a story this shit is pretty good. as a game though this shit is pretty mid. luckily, this is a visual novel so the game part matters less. the puzzles were very fun to solve and probably my favorite part of the game. definitely worked my brain. the scene reuse though is so ass. killed the pacing so much which in turn really messed with the flow of the story. ive not heard great things about the sequel which makes me disappointed a bit with how this game ended.

Even though we technically spent more time with these characters most of them failed to be as appealing as the 999 cast. There's just a certain charm lacking I feel. The OST also mostly feels reused which does take away a bit of uniqueness. Even with the downsides, the plot twists and reveals do manage to continuously hook you back in which im happy is the case. Overall, a good recommendation from Tony.

I really enjoy this game. The story is crazy and longer than the previous one, the rooms are more challenging, and the characters all bring unique flare(even if I prefer the first cast overall). But the change to 3D sprites as opposed to the 2D ones used in the previous is disappointing and not as interesting to look at. While the first game did have big twists, I don't have any issue with any of those really. This one also has some twists that I felt were good and some had me rolling my eyes. It also doesn't really end as satisfyingly as the previous one and I felt a lot of this ending relies on you waiting till the next one to get some answers which the previous game had but wasn't as imperative. Still love this one for the most part though.
