Wow, the final part of the rec room puzzle is fucking garbage. Jesus.

I wish I had a stylus whenever I go to type on the memo, haha. I can at least understand my finger scribbles, and I haven't had to jot down anything TOO complicated.

Ok are the puzzles for the golden files supposed to be easier than the main puzzle?
I keep solving those while not being able to get enough thingamajigs to complete the actual main puzzle...

Sometimes yes... sometimes no. It's all subjective and depends on the room. But I definitely ran into the same thing.

I'm stuck in the rec room currently.
I've done:
I solved the billiards, I solved the keyboard, I solved the armor dudes. I got the darts and got the gold file code... now I'm at a loss of what to do for the regular code...

I was amused by the fact that an intentional misspelling found its way into the story structure of the game after all of the mistakes so I directly borrowed from the game script around the "nineth" musings as it served as ironic commentary.
There is another way to create the solution with the darts.

Yes, both times. I've only done two puzzles and I've gotten the gold file first both times.
The heck? Where is this mentioned?
Green > Blue > Red got you the gold file, right? Take a look at the dart box again...
I suggest avoiding them. Some show up before you get to their point in the game and could ruin potential surprises.
Look at the chart again.Yes, both times. I've only done two puzzles and I've gotten the gold file first both times.

Does the Vita version also give you the option to compare between 2 different sources (e.g., you can put a Memo page on the top screen while solving a puzzle on the bottom)? I've been employing that a lot in the Escape Rooms and it's easily my favorite aspect of the 3DS controls.
I have a related question. Are the events of 999 clearly explained during VLR, or is it something that only those who know what happened in 999 will recognize? I'm just worried I'll be playing VLR and get to a certain point where I'm supposed to remember something from 999 for maximum effect, but won't.
You can overlay any scene with the memo on the Vita version.
Almost. You can hit a "button" on the side of the screen that brings up the memo/archives during a puzzle, but you can't have both up at the same time like you can on the 3DS, for obvious reasons.
Most of the 999 references in VLR stem from the events that happened in the true ending. So if you can recognize a bit of that then you'll be okay.

Derp... can't believe I missed that with the darts.
Luna's face is so derp. Stop doing that fucking hand motion.

Loving this game so far. I've done all of the left branch as far as I could go and now I'm starting down another path.
One small problem I have is that the ally/betray system is cool initially but when it's so easy (and mandatory) to go down all the different paths then it removes a bit of the tension from those decisions. I'm going to see both outcomes anyway so it doesn't really matter what I pick.
Quick slightly off topic question. I downloaded this game from PSN. When I finish it do I have to keep the full 1.3Gb installed to keep my save data? Or is the save data separate from the app? I've never been too clear on how this works for PSN downloads on Vita.

Yeah, and that's garbage. Trial and error for stuff like this is terrible.

You have to back up the game and the save. Yes, it's remarkably stupid.
I remember seeing the first Famitsu scans. The excitement, the speculation, the squabbling over how the hell to translate Zennin Shiboudesu. I remember following every bit of the new media they released. I remember seeing the characters' profiles for the first time and knowing that was just the first piece of the puzzle. I remember seeing here on GAF the announcement that the game would indeed be localized, by Aksys.
A year and spare change it's been. And now it's here in front of me. The watch is red; guess I'm Sigma.
Time to dive back into the Nonary Game.

Nah, it's cool, I've got a respirator hooked up for exactly this kind of situation.

That's the ideal situation, but if you're too impatient like me, the TV Tropes page covers everything quite thoroughly.
Haha, yeah... I wish they were easy to skip. They go a bit faster in Skip mode though.
Bah, I can't believe it took me like an 1.5 hours to do the
Security room puzzle.
Took me like 30 minutes to figure out that what "not needing" some of the words meant that you had to switch them off, and then another 15 minutes to figure out that you can actually move stuff into the black panels. I kept thinking you could only move stuff on the green panels.

TWO PEOPLE ALREADY DEAD AFTER ONLY 2 PUZZLES? WTF... no....
People in this game certainly like to leave things until the last second. "Oh, we have 45 minutes until we have to vote? See you in 44 minutes and 59 seconds."
They're also all super impressed with that one TV trope.

Does someone know where to get those shirts ? http://t.co/wMtZerS5
Seems to be RSG merchandise, but there is no shop on their page

Gah... I just walked myself into a bad end and I FUCKING KNEW it would happen because I broke the Tit for Tat strategy.
If you are reacting like this already... well, I can't wait until later...

Alright, got it! Thanks! Another solution I don't think I would've come by on my own.
a few questions: how long does it take to do an average first run through? My wife and I both want to play but she doesn't think she'll start soon, and I am going on a trip but take notoriously long to finish games like this so I don't want to keep her waiting.
Also, is there a scratch guard on the watch? I have a scratch on the face (it came like that), but not sure if its on the actual face or on a scratch guard on the face that I can't seem to take off (probably the former...) :-(

Honestly I saw it coming 100 miles away. I still walked into it in the hopes the character would do the unexpected. But nope.
I'm sticking with Tit for Tat for certain now. I pick whatever the person I'm playing against picked last.
It took me 31 hours to clear the entire story.
Thanks! You mean all endings or just the first time?
Well... all of the sub-endings are only one piece each of the entire massive puzzle.
