lol, the game starts with a "have you played the previous game" and gives me a QUIZ about names if I say yes.

gently caress, gotta find a summary of the plot, because I don't remember details like names

First Question is Mizuki, it happens when They're tussling in the warehouse and Saito shoots her in the leg, which causes her to scream out in intense pain\

Second question is Saito.

I don't think I would have remembered either of these had I not played the game earlier this month.

Come on hee-ho, just give us 300 more macca



Back when I played the first game on PC, the game kept crashing during the Psyncs. This was very frustrating.

I've done two Psyncs so far in nirvanA Initiative, and so far the game hasn't crashed on me yet. I'm cautiously optimistic that performance will be stable the entire game this time around. Writing still good.

Leaving this thread now so i don't get spoiled.

In the second Sominum for the new game where do you find the left statue that combines with IX? It looks like there’s one possible path where that statue might be but I can’t find the right combo to unlock the path, assuming there is one there.

FYI I've encountered one bug that might cause you to lose progress - don't save the game at the end of a scene when the "move"/world map option pops up, because sometimes the option won't be there on a reload, softlocking the game

Like all good conspiracies, the answer is hiding in plain sight.

I just started, and right after the first Somnium I love the reveals that Date is wearing a Saito mask because it’s more popular with girls, and Aiba ran away because Date’s VR porn was just too weird to handle

Did I just spend an hour traveling through through ALL the different locations in the game and going through a psynch just to learn that a person was in the most bleeding obvious place in the world? And I even attempted to go there earlier but the game blocked me off from that part of the area

God, this is such an Uchikoshi game. I've made it pretty far in the game so be aware of the spoilers after this sentence. Don't think I didn't see the connection between escape room video games and 999 you glorious bastard.

Man, this game is reminding me why I love Uchikoshi games. I'm so glad this game exists.
