Rirse posted:Zero Escape: Virtue's Last Reward for me? We already have an LP going on so this will kind of complement that. A virus called Radical-6 escaped from a Mars test site and basically hosed Earth completely. June from the first game and Sigma are going to use their weird morphogenetic time travel powers to stop that happening. To do this Sigma is going to send his consciousness back in time and infiltrate that test facility. But first he and June are arranging for him to be able to practice using his power. When Zero (who is June as before) bombed Sigma his consciousness swapped forward in time with himself from after the virus escaped. This is why you never see Sigma's face or hear his voice until the end of the game - his body is actually like 60 years old and has a cybernetic eye and cybernetic arms, which he got during his lifetime after his real ones were torn off while infiltrating the facility. He and June set up the Nonary Game for himself to play in the future. While he is playing it in his older body, his older consciousness in his younger body is trying to stop the virus. After the game, Sigma goes back to his original body, and then has to set the game up for himself in the future. The game is running in a research facility on the moon. This is why it looks Iike Phi is flying, it's just low gravity. Also, everyone has Radical-6 which slows down your perception of time, so it doesn't look like things are falling slowly (they really are, but the radical-6 time distortion cancels it out) The game is absolutely real, the poisons are real poisons, people really die, but since Sigma can go back and overwrite those possibilities eventually everyone will be safe. Zero the Third is actually Lagomorph, the friendly AI from the facility, who has been programmed to help introduce the game. The "real zero" is several people (as in the last game), Sigma, June, and Luna are all involved. June wore the gas mask but Sigma is the one who speaks as the "real Zero" on the one occasion he shows up in the game. Luna is an android built by Sigma to help people get through the game safely. "She knows everything." Clover and Alice are morphogenetic field users who are there just because having a bunch of users together powers everyone up. Tenmyouji is Junpei from the last game, he lived through Radical-6 and June is making him play the game. He also knows all about the game. Quark is a kid Tenmyouji adopted during his lifetime who was with him when June kidnapped him. K is a clone of Sigma who was created in the facility, he wears big armor so that his muscles don't denature from the lower moon gravity. Dio is a terrorist working for a group called Free The Soul who helped release the virus. He planted the bombs and is generally an rear end in a top hat. He broke into the game just before it started. Phi is a random girl who can use morphogenetic fields, she came to help June, she is the same as Sigma except she did not help build the game, she just sat in a cold sleep chamber during the Radical-6 outbreak and was released just before the game started The dead woman in the AB chamber is June. Dio killed her when he broke in and stole her bracelet to take part in the game. In the final ending through, Sigma and Phi are able to go right back to when the game started, leave the AB chamber early and prevent Dio's attack. In this case June says she has to prevent there being paradoxes so she puts K into cold sleep, gets into K's armor, and puts a bracelet on Dio. So who is in K's armor actually varies based on the path you're on - this is what all the Shroedinger's Cat references are about. In the best route, you disarm all the bombs, nobody dies, Dio gets locked up in the infirmary, since everyone trusts each other they Ally over and over again until everyone can escape, then they leave and find they are on the moon, so they go back into the facility. June gets out of K's armor and attacks Sigma to make his powers activate and swap his consciousness back to just after the Radical-6 incident. He goes off to the moon to start working on the base and the game so that when the game starts, he will swap back into the comatose Sigma in the car in the past and can try to stop the virus with a young body and all the knowledge and powers he'll have by then. Everyone else just hangs around the facility and talks about how Sigma fixing the virus will wipe out the possibility chain and mean they all never played the game, except Tenmyouji who says he doesn't want the past overwritten because it will mean he didn't meet Quark. Then because it is an Uchikoshi game June turns up and tells the player that actually they are the entity which has been leaping freely between minds and controlling people and they will now be able to help stop the virus. Everything is set up for a sequel and then you read Uchikoshi's tweet saying it will probably not be made and mope. The end.
