Yes, I've been watching this game from afar for a while now @_@ I can't wait till it comes out!

Although if there are 9 rooms and each room is gonna be like the one from the demo, the game's gonna be quite short

It took me not a long time to get through the demo (I feel special for not using trial-and-error lol) but the music kept me in panic mode. It kept making me think there was a timer or something D:

Can't wait!!

The puzzles weren't particularly hard. Quite intuitive actually. The problem i had is i didn't know you can rotate the object (yeah noob) until i accidentally did it.

I think the real game will probably have a timer. It did say 9hours in the title after all.

Anyway i think its somewhat weird for the room to be flooded through a broken port hole. Port holes are normally not place under the water level. For water to be rushing in from there implies the ship is sinking yet the room is levelled.

Maybe they have a basement level.

It looks SO good.

AnimeFangirl · 2010-10-13, 07:12

I hate puzzles. When this game comes out I'll wait for a complete FAQ and then I'll buy it.

Of course it would be easier not to buy it at all, but I want to encourage them to put more games like this on the DS.

I'm sure the puzzles won't be that hard.

-Sho- · 2010-10-13, 12:18

Yeah , i think too but those games are still entertaining

bloppyblue · 2010-10-13, 18:43

I can't express how excited I am for this! I remember going through the whole point-and-click escape-the-room game phase. Unfortunately, majority of the ones on the internet aren't that great (the lack in some aspect of either art, planning, difficulty, logic, and most of all: story).

Santa and Ace are looking great by the way.

Poetic Justice · 2010-11-11, 19:55

So according to aksys the game has around 6 endings and about 25-30 hours for them all. Also a longer "true" ending path like ever 17's.

HYPE HYPE HYPE.

Wait, what? A thirty-hour DS puzzle game?

They're NEVER that long. This might actually be worth my money.

...Goddammit, now I really want this game now! Why can't it be Christmas already!? (I only get one game between November and Christmas, and the one I'm getting this year is Golden Sun Dark Dawn.)

Poetic Justice · 2010-11-18, 03:55

Destructoid gives it a 10.

http://www.destructoid.com/review-ni...s-187838.phtml

They say it has a phenomenal story, Also some spoilers on the site.

Hiroi Sekai · 2010-11-18, 04:42

Damn. That was awesome.

Being a huge fan of the Phoenix Wright and Professor Layton series, this is crazy great! The insane music kept me on my toes the entire time. And the puzzles were quite creative; I admit I stole a search location from this thread, but the rest I figured out~

So wow, I'm really excited to play this now!

jonli · 2010-11-18, 05:09

just played the demo, I love point and click puzzle games

! Machinarium!!!

this reminds me of Saw and Liar Game.

Jze0 · 2010-11-18, 14:37

Read the review, awesome to hear its good and that review came out just when I was thinking of buying the game later today. Guess I have no choose but to go right now.

Poetic Justice · 2010-11-22, 23:57

Playing it now and the game is very similar to ever 17, Same types of crazy concepts and theories, I love it!

LusterFlare · 2010-11-25, 10:10

Woo, finally got the true ending. Was a fun game, the puzzles weren't really difficult. Aside from a couple grammar/spelling errors, Aksys did a good job localizing this. Hope to see more VN-like games for the DS in the future.

Spoiler for Spoilers:

Blue-kun · 2010-11-25, 23:01

I loved it. Finished it a while ago and I'm feeling tired, close to 2am now, but let's just say that anyone who's enjoyed ever17 is in for a treat. The puzzles, as said before, aren't difficult, but they're extremely intuitive. I hardly ever felt lost and trying to pull out obnoxious stuff. That was a big plus.

I really can't go very far into details because I'd inevitably end up spoiling it. I'd like to go and rave more and more about how much it reminded me of an infinity series game near its end, but I'd have to go into details and probably give away some plottwists. It's worth it, though, and if you liked e17, definitely buy it. If you didn't play it, buy it all the same. e17 was a fantastic novel and this is equally as good, if not better, since there's hardly any of those "quite boring moments".

Very much an Uchikoshi game, and the ending was awesome.

LusterFlare Lost. Join Date: Sep 2009 Location: Bay Area, California Age: 32	Woo, finally got the true ending. Was a fun game, the puzzles weren't really difficult. Aside from a couple grammar/spelling errors, Aksys did a good job localizing this. Hope to see more VN-like games for the DS in the future. Spoiler for Spoilers: Lawl, I would've never pegged Seven as a detective. Also lol'd at "Jumpy" and "Kanny." I wonder what their nicknames were in Japanese... One thing I didn't get was: what was Lotus's connection to all this? I can see how the other people are related to this in one way or another. Though I haven't gotten any of the "bad ends" yet (only got coffin, safe, and true). Maybe I'd find out more about her in those endings... EDIT: Hmm, apparently she's the mother of two girls who were in the experiments 9 years ago. So did Junpei imply that Seven lied about seeing Akane's body in the incinerator nine years ago? Or there would be some discrepancy like Junpei said. The girl that was hitching a ride at the end seemed like Alice, given her clothing. Though to me, she bore some resemblance to Lotus for some reason xD. Last edited by LusterFlare; 2010-11-25 at 19:15.

If there was some discrepancy, it wouldn't have been a first for Uchikoshi's game. He did seem very sure of what happened, and I also don't see why he'd lie, unless he was also aware of everything that was happening. Which I don't think he was? As for the girl, I was also trying to understand whether or not that was supposed to be serious or just a very funny joke at the end. I'm assuming the latter, especially since I cracked up with how Seven and Junpei were scared shitless of opening the coffin! Also, yes, Lotus was mother to Nona and the other girl that were involved in the experience 9 years ago. I think that was mentioned by herself on the way to the submarine end, inside the torture room. Also damn the torture room. Such an eerie room. I was very tense while exploring it. EDIT: Oh, as for the nicknames, if I had to guess, I'd say Junpei was probably Junpei-chan and Akane was Akane-chan in Japanese. Since they removed those, they were trying to come up with a cute way of saying their names. I'll admit Jumpy seemed dumb the first time, but you get used to it. Kanny though, I'll never understand what went through their minds. __________________

LyricalAura Dea ex Kakera Join Date: Jun 2006 Location: Sea of Fragments	Very much an Uchikoshi game, and the ending was awesome. Spoiler for True ending: I was left with a couple of questions... What was the odd sound that Snake heard in the First Class Cabin? What was the purpose of the ALL-ICE notebook full of hieroglyphics that Junpei found in the Captain's Cabin? In the Safe ending, Ace was afraid that one of the others had found something behind Door 1. Was he just talking about the camera he was supposed to confess to, or did he mean the notebook? If Akane didn't really die in the experiment nine years ago, why does Clover think she did? Did Snake lie to her? Also if Akane survived, why does Santa still have something against four-leaf clovers? The voice of Zero that addressed everyone at the beginning responded directly to one of Ace's questions (which is one of the reasons I initially suspected him). How was this possible when Akane was together with everyone? __________________ "Something has fallen on us that falls very seldom on men; perhaps the worst thing that can fall on them.
