Awesome. I picked up the game earlier today along with Ghost Trick. Very glad to hear that the games are selling!dallow_bg said:

Finally finished the demo. I was actually missing one more thing. Thanks guys for telling me that I was still missing items. I honestly thought I had everything and could look nowhere else.
Haven't had to break out the pen and paper for a game in a while.
They could have started this one off a little easier but it does seem like an awesome game if you have the time and patience for it.
Maybe I'll pick this up someday if I'm in the mood to grow some more gray hairs.
I feel like I just won a fucking Oscar. Thanks to everyone who supported me through this great ordeal.

The thing that bugged me about the demo/first puzzle is that it spends so much time explaining shit to you. Like you figure out the code for the suitcase and then it explains how to poke a number and you forget the damn code. Then it tells you again. Glad that's a one-time deal. (The explaining. You have to do the stupid puzzle every time you start over. xP)

Damn, 3 endings so far and none of them good. Does anyone actually get a good one on their first try?
Anyway, got the one where
Hope I don't fuck up anything on this next playthrough since it's at the point where I've been in every door at least once. Just gonna pick a combination and hope I don't have to do it again.

everyone dies. Kinda kills my "last one alive" theory regarding Ace unless he was just faking it.

There are two important endings and three less important endings. There are multiple ways to get the less important endings but only one way each to get the more important endings. You're much more likely to get a "bad" ending than a "good" ending.
There's a flowchart you can use that's very vaguely spoilery.

The slow text is the game's biggest flaw.Roto13 said:
I read about 3-4x faster than the game would allow me to. I know it sometimes likes to reveal text at different speed for impact, but let me have an instant option for paragraphs.

To your first question: probably not
And don't fret about the endings. Getting them all is such a key part of the experience, you're doing great. Getting the bad endings is essential to get the full impact of the true ending. So enjoy them!
The text speed didn't really bother me. It's faster than a lot of games. Even some text heavy adventure games.
Even one of the good endings is kind of a bad ending if you don't do the other good ending first. So that means there's a 1/12 chance of getting a good ending your first time.

Well, I'm halfway through my 4th playthrough, so I'll know soon enough if I'm right or not.
Edit: Oh wow, I was more right than I thought I would be. Should've gone with my first gut.
Edit 2:
Snake. There's still so many mysteries surrounding his death that I'm not entirely convinced that's his pile of remains in the shower room.

library. Since the end of the Safe playthrough, I kind of figured Santa was Zero, or at least an accomplice. That thing about light and darkness reminded me of his story of the black and white Santa he told earlier. The dates also matched up with the previous Nonary game. It became more and more clear as the True playthrough went on.

I just reached Door 6
and the game is very intriguing so far. I have tons of questions naturally, but I'm rather blown away that people are insinuating that the ending is mindblowing even after beating the game 4 or 5 times. This plot must be completely unlike what I've made it out to be so far.

LATIN, MATRIPEDICABUS, DO YOU SPEAK IT
You're really not going to get a conclusive ending until you manage to get the true ending, which means you need to finish the game at least two more times. And you'd be doing yourself a disservice in avoiding the other endings since there's story bits unique along the way to those endings. Never mind that everything is explained/interconnected in some way.hamchan said:
This game doesn't follow traditional game design in terms of conveying an end to the story.

Yeah, I think it's practically impossible for someone to predict how it wraps up.
If you think you've figures it all out, trust me....you havent seen anything yet!

Also it is now the weekend, and I don't have Photoshop or the sprites at home, so there will be no more .gifs forged by my hand until the day of Tuesday the 18th of January in this, the year of our Lord 2011.

LOL! I may have to request an avatar as well down the line, if only to help spread word on GAF.

You may end up with a repeat ending just by going through doors you haven't gone yet, but I think you'll only see one repeat that way. Eventually, you may need a guide to get the final 2 endings, but it'll be okay at that point.hamchan said:
You should at least get another bad one or two first.truly101 said:
Was an avatar already requested/done with June surprise animation when talking with Junpei about the Titanic? Cause if not, I'd request it! It was a funny expression of surprise she had.
I was wondering, does answering wrong to the first couple of questions make any difference? I answered right, but still would like to know.

All right,
so I'm assuming I'm at the end. Time for some last minute theories.
That's all I got. This has become very hard to predict.
Seven just got all his memory back
1. The mind of Akane was somehow salvaged and put in an artificial body made to look like her. This is foreshadowed by the conversation Junpei and Clover have regarding whether someone is really them when the body parts are different.
2. June is Zero.
3. Junpei has dissociative identity disorder and is actually Zero.
4. All of this is Junpei's dying dream.
5. Zero is actually Junpei from a separate playthrough. Would explain the "I lost" at the end of the Safe ending. He would also be the one transmitting the knowledge he learned in said ending.
6. It turns out everyone is actually on the Titanic and Zero is Leonardo Dicaprio.
7. June is Alice.

Got a bad ending. This is the first time that I beat the game.
So Ace killed Lotus in this ending?! As well as killing Junpei ... WTF, I had no suspicions on Ace at all, nor did I believe that Junpei would actually die so abruptly. I was pulling for him, feeling that the cliche shounen protagonist always survives, but I sure as hell was wrong. Ace played the oji-san role too well during the game! But, it's inspired me to continue on my second playthrough.

I want to buy this game but I currently don't have a DS and I probably won't have one for a long while. what do?
