nvm I misread.can someone describe what the demo is of? have this game on my wishlist
I checked to make sure, but they haven't mentioned that anywhere :/ Judging by what point in the game it's at, you can skip through all the scenes and probably get there within ~10 minutes or so if it doesn't.
It's the first investigation and somnium, so presumably the first hour or so of the game. It plays out in a vaguely Ace Attorney-ish way for the investigation stuff, and then a bizarro interactive logic puzzle sort of thing for the somnium (where you dive into another persons mind for info).can someone describe what the demo is of? have this game on my wishlist
I never feel comfortable coming into topics like this with contrary takes lol, but yea, it'd probably help some people to know that some of us really didn't like it. The narrative itself is pretty good imo and certainly a step up from ZTD but you really need a high tolerance for wacky anime/pervy hijinks. It can get pretty obnoxious at points.Hate to do this, but gotta offer a counterpoint here.
I was deeply disappointed by this game, despite loving 999 and VLR, and even thinking ZTD wasn't that bad. The Somnium, the only vestige of gameplay in the title, are nonsense trial-and-error snore-fests that deeply test your patience. And while the overall plot has its moments and there are some well-written characters, there's so much cringe-y juvenile bullshit that it undercuts dramatic stakes throughout most of the game.
If you haven't played 999, VLR, Ghost Trick, Ever 17, Danganronpa, or the Ace Attorney series....go there first. This game costs *SIXTY DOLLARS*.
I was actually thinking of 428 when I made my post lol, which suffers much of the same problems to a lesser degree, that one feels very "J-Drama" in its silliness and writing which brought it down, Somnium is the same way in how "anime" it is. You probably wouldn't like it.I guess I'll try out the demo eventually. Some of the screencaps I've seen seem absolutely dreadful in terms of cringe-y weeaboo jokes, and I say this as someone who watches a decent amount of anime. I didn't really care for the script/prose of 999, either. I also think 428 is a lousy game. Ace Attorney remains the only visual novel series that I've truly enjoyed.
Finally I can figure out if Switch port is worth the jaggies and all that.
Also the art style is brilliant but where was that guy in Fire Emblem 3 Houses!? >:(
Myeah, the aesthetics look quite good and I think they matter.It has jaggies and framerate tank sometimes. But honestly who cares, it's a visual novel...

This is my #GOTY (check my avatar for the BEST character <3). After I finished it several weeks ago and I still think constantly about it.
I really hope it finds success - it deserves it, and I'd love to see a follow up title exploring these characters more.
It's definitely fighting between this and Zero Time Dilemma which is my least favourite Uchikoshi game so far. Maybe the true ending will steer things?!
Played the Switch demo and while it's serviceable, lack of touch screen support and abundance of jaggies make this a definitive PS4 purchase for me. Now I just gotta try the PS4 demo to see how much better it runs.
It does? I read it didn't and I played the Switch demo on docked mode, so I didn't notice lol. Guess it's time to fire up that demo once more, this time in handheld mode.
