I like the character designs. :allears:

This seems like a good compromise.

Also, the robe using the exact color scheme from 999 is a bit over the top. At this point, the only way they could be less subtle about their homage is if we find out Smiley's real name is Zero.

If the characters were to wear cat ears, would this be Nyan Hours, Nyan Persons, Nyan Doors? :v:

Every Zero Escape fan knows what that note means...where's Phi when you need her?

The real question is, where's Akane when you want her to run a death game for you? Or have her blow up a nuclear reactor?

Man, there's not really anyone who ends up looking good in the character writing for this segment, huh. :sigh:

Well, this loop thingy is going to be a pain in the AS. :v:

Also, I just noticed that all the music tracks have the initials A.S. And then there’s Agnos

In-teresting. I like that the flow chart can go in multiple directions, too. Like a subway map. Anyway, I vote for When we decided to prioritize how everyone is connected.

Otherwise known as 'Ever17 Syndrome' :v:

But yeah, thats part of why I'm excited to get to the sequel, the characters (esp the protagonist) are a lot stronger in that one- I do still really like the overarching story here but man, Simon's such an awful protagonist (and the remake actively made him worse!! In the original he was still a weenie but he wasn't a complete tool nearly as much)

this wouldve been a better game if Marco was the protagonist :v:

Like... there's not much I can say to that. But I'm still left wondering why Simon is an awful (and also uninspiring - it's possible to be awful but charismatic and so draw a crowd) protagonist.

Wait.

A five letter global password, and so far we have I-L-Y?

I think I have a theory about what the full password is going to be. EMILY

EDIT: Or SMILEY, but that'd require an extra letter and is kinda boring.

At least we're not on a sinking ship or something.

Or trapped in a school...

How are they getting this information, anyway? Through the morphogametic field?
Or maybe in a past life, Simon was a super-duper at surviving high school. :v:

Wait... the lock by the right opened?

Not the upper lock?

OK, this is weird.

Also, why would whoever set this up do a silo configuration instead of... y'know. An actual train network? Seems like one'd be easier to build than the other.

But yeah, this is getting increasingly wack. Professor Layton levels of wack.

The question is, is the code EMILY or SMILEY? Or something else?

It's interesting to discuss how all 'death game' stories connect back to the original Battle Royale (take your pick of the novel, the manga or the movie), being some sort of riff, pastiche, or twist on the concept. Hunger Games is a western take that focuses more on the dystopian elements, Mirai Nikki adds supernatural elements and makes it completely dumb, the first Danganronpa elevates the concepts of ruthless competition among high schoolers and the pressure placed on them to succeed, etc. etc.

What about Umineko? Where does it fit in?

I thought this was actually a neat story twist, and better than my original idea about the Big Elevator - in my mind, all of the timelines were happening simultaneously on different floors of the Tower, and there was one elevator moving between floors/"timelines" as needed.

That would have been really cool, honestly.

Glossary, we need to talk about the concept of a “nocebo”.

It won’t be long; a nocebo is basically… what happens when you have negative expectations with a placebo. It doesn’t actually do anything, but your thoughts of it going wrong cause negative changes in your body anyway.

What about if you think you're turning into a catboi?

Is that a 'nyacebo'? :v:
