It's hard to follow up a masterpiece like 999 but VLR damn near makes its case. One of the most unique ways to tell a story that requires the video game medium to tell. So many cool characters, awesome moments, and such an enthralling story due to the way it unfolds. Puzzle rooms are way harder than 999 were, and the psychological thriller aspect of this game feels like it dips into horror sometimes. Insanely glad I got into the Zero Escape series due what VLR has brought to the table.
