Based on the Floating Fragment system for the character memories, I'm assuming that the dog that delivers messages to each group will help link everything chronologically. :allears:

K's ending was probably the third one I got. That route stuck with me through the rest of the game, to the point where I really should have reserved it for the last few. It and the Axe Ending from 999 kept me up all night.

The mark for a good Zero Escape game is one ending that can invoke insomnia.

I'm wondering what new tangents into pseudoscience/thought experiments/philosophy they'll try to weave into the plot of Zero Time Dilemma.

Someone asked Uchikoshi way back when during the VLR Q&A what other ones he had knocking around.

quote:

Q36: Were there any other thought experiments like Schrödinger’s Cat and the Chinese Room that you’ve considered putting in the game but ultimately left out?

It wasn’t a thought experiment, but on my notebook where I write down ideas I also had the following:

Dissipative system, Monty Hall problem, Gödel’s incompleteness theorems, Toxoplasmosis, Folie à deux, Capgras delusion, Fregoli delusion, Sally–Anne test, and Project MKUltra.

Monty Hall would be interesting for a statistics-based puzzle. Toxoplasmosis seems like it might have been a joke reserved for Sigma, though.

Throw in Kamiya as the head of fight scenes and the team will be complete.

On crashes:

I never once had any problems with the 3DS version, though it might be thanks to remembering to save only during novel sequences. Strangely, when I got a Vita and replayed the game, it crashed on me when I entered the crew quarters for the first time. There were also a few graphical oddities that occurred as well

From 999, I really liked Ternary Game just for that guitar.

I even enjoyed its "spiritual successor" remix from VLR, Recreation.

We've already heard a track or two of ZTD from the trailers, but I'm hoping there are ones in the game that will make me put them in my playlist for long-night study times, like the previous games.

Did they delay the release on Steam by a few hours?



I swear it said it would unlock at midnight, earlier.

Alright, I'm stuck.

Got to the Force Quit boxes much later in the game, but haven't unlocked any of them so far. No idea where to go next.

Endings I got: http://i.imgur.com/tRsCqU6.png

My full timeline (apologies for the stitching job): http://i.imgur.com/IA66oAa.png

For the The Boy and the Ring ending, where Akane tries to give you two X-passes, which fail, for the timeline I tried inputting Carlos', Junpei's, and Akane's passwords from the other timelines, but no dice.

I don't know why it's not letting me proceed past D-End: 1 when there's still more to go.

Yep. You're right.

Ran into this on the team select screen: http://i.imgur.com/4Cj59CU.png

Which is weird, because the last thing I finished was the section before that. Other times, when I reached a certain point and it dropped me to pick a new fragment, it would railroad me to a specific one. Don't know why it didn't here.

Still, bit of a fault on me for relying a little too much on the full timeline.

Follow up. Stuck again.

I'm at the part where Eric demands Q to tell Zero's real name

Problem is, the only one I've been given is Brother, from the ending with Junpei and Akane using the teleporter. I tried entering that, but it didn't work.

Is there anything from the timeline I posted earlier:

The game doesn't explicitly tell you the answer. But based on everything you know it's not that hard to deduce.

A hint: You're on the right track with Brother but that's not a name. What could Brother's real name be...? What other Brother have you encountered?
From D-End: 2 earlier?

Oh jeeze. This game is just yanking me around.

So I just finished the game.

I'm still mulling over (MAJOR FINAL SPOILERS) the fact that Delta was there the whole time. I'm assuming the camera was him the whole time? Or maybe I misinterpreted it?

Who knows. It'll be stuck in my mind for awhile now while I think of how it fits in with the previous two games. Hard to believe this series is now over.

Anyhow, I still seem to be missing one or more Cinema Files even though there don't seem to be any (???) slots in that section. I'm also missing a single Quest File. Any of you happen to know how to get this one? http://i.imgur.com/1pmMDSy.png
