More Zero Time Dilemma

[estirose]

This mentions a scene that's in the gameplay demo, but still spoilercutting it to be safe. (Theree's also how many times characters have run into a certain common ZTD situation, but I've tried to be vague.)

(Also, if you have not played Zero Time Dilemma, be aware that it, like the rest of the series, has quite a horror theme to it even if it's considered a puzzle solving Visual Novel.)


So, my gameplay method for this game is to run through every possible branch visible in a segment (a habit I formed playing VLR). I'm doing teams randomly. Which means that I've now killed one team once, one team twice, and one team three times on different timelines.

Because some results are random, sometimes you might have to play through a choice once or twice. I don't mind that. But I'm at the "Sigma ends up in the chair with Diana having to decide whether to shoot the gun" bit, haven't tried not shooting yet.

So far, I have shot Sigma six times and Diana has managed to get blanks every single time. Which is better for my sanity, but not so good when it comes to my compulsion to finish each branch in a segment!

ETA: He made it 7 times before I hit the other ending for shooting the gun and... suicide freaks me out, so no more gaming this evening. Shit.

Oh no, I'm so sorry. ♥ We got the bullet right after getting a blank, so it was much easier to be prepared.

Yeah, that was not hilarious. I didn't do well with parts of VLR for obvious reasons either because of Radical-6. Especially since... well, Quark. Even if I'd been spoiled enough that those didn't hit me as hard as this did, I had trouble with VLR.
