This has better puzzles than the Zero Escape series, but the story isn't as mind-blowing. It's like Inception but a murder mystery instead of heist movie. Kaname Date is investigating the murder of a woman he knows while also uncovering the mystery of who he was before six years ago when he lost his memories. He works for a special police unit called ABIS who specialize in synching into suspects' dreams to uncover what secrets they are hiding related to investigations. The story has a flow chart like in Zero Escape where the player must go through all paths in order to uncover the whole story. Each path focuses on a character in the game. The weakest part of the story is Ota's path since he doesn't have much of a connection to the murder or Date's past. It feels like a storyline that could have been removed with the important details included the the Iris or Mizuki paths. It still overall maintains a compelling mystery with shocking twists and turns. It also has a pretty good sense of humor and fun characters.
