The ChunSoft Thread: Zero Escape Series & Banshee's Last Cry

[Lythium]

We know what you're trying to say.

 

[F8AL]

Just found out that

Spoiler

Snake was killed. (((((((((

 

[sakuraZaKi]

Just found out that

Spoiler

Snake was killed. (((((((((

Ooohhh~

Heh heh heh~

 

[F8AL]

Spoiler

I wonder who killed Snake? I know it couldn't be June, Jumpy or Clover so it has to be either Lotus, Seven, Ace or Santa. I'm willing to bet it was Santa and Seven who pushed him into the door and left him to die...

This game has done a successful job in making me care about the characters and what happens to them during the game...R.I.P. Snake...

 

[Zankoku]

I suddenly have a greater appreciation of this game thanks to F8AL making me realize that I can write things in spoiler tags and still be hiding crucial information.

For example,

Spoiler

Snake's death, the only possibilities for how he got trapped in that room, and his killer(s) are really important

.

Also, I'm definitely looking forward to the 999 successor featuring Nemesis from Resident Evil, All-Ice from 999, Youmu Konpaku from Touhou Project, T.K. from Digimon, Irving Onegin from Time Hollow, and Yoko from Guren Lagann.

 

[F8AL]

Spoiler

I got the bad ending where Clover (STUPID *****!!!) kills Seven, Santa and June...and then you with that axe and escapes...WHYYYYYY!!!! ((((((((

I feel horrible now.

 

[Lythium]

Axe ending!

That was my first ending too.

 

[F8AL]

That ending left me feeling cold...

 

[Zankoku]

That ending has the single best artwork of Clover ever.

Spoiler

:D

 

[Lythium]

Me too, F8AL, me too.

 

[Minato]

lol Axe ending was freaky. My first ending was

Spoiler

Sub ending

. Everyone seems to get Axe ending first usually.

 

[Lythium]

I got Sub second.

Spoiler

I think the reason that I got Axe first was because I tried to go with June every time we went through a door together.

 

[Minato]

I remember feeling so bad when I decided to

Spoiler

ditch some of the others so I could go in the same door as June. I was going to restart but then I saw Snake's body. I didn't go with June in the first door though.

 

[sakuraZaKi]

lol Axe ending was freaky. My first ending was

Spoiler

Sub ending

I got that ending first too. I didn't know what to think but 'WHY!?'

Then I got the Axe ending. Personally, the

Spoiler

Sub ending

got me the most, because it seemed

Spoiler

I was almost out of there, but was cut short

.

 

[Zankoku]

Spoiler

Too bad the sub wouldn't have gotten you anywhere, anyway. This ain't Ever17

 

[F8AL]

Clover's demonic face is now permanently burned into my mind.

 

[Lythium]

Yaaay!

Now play the other endings!

 

[The Real Gamer]

I have a question about the

Spoiler

Sub

ending for anyone that has the answer (playing through the game again).

Spoiler

I remember Ace being the main culprit behind most of the killings but how could it have possibly been him killing Junpei at the end when he was also killed? Did he somehow fake his death?

Spoiler

I think that one was explained in that he was actually killed by Zero/June, because he done ****ed up and failed to take the right paths. Not certain on this.

I think the answer was that

Spoiler

he faked his death. Junpei never checked on Ace to see if he really was dead, he only check on Lotus.

 

[Raziek]

That was my other guess. It's been a while, and now I'm tempted to actually replay the game. :O

 

[The Real Gamer]

I just laughed when I first read this but I played through 999 again today and I realized lady really does resemble All-Ice quite a bit... Almost too much. o.0 Can't find a picture of All-Ice on Google for a comparison, unfortunately.

Why does the majority of the new cast resemble past 999 characters? A bit frustrating tbh.

This sequel better do the original justice!

 

[Teczer0]

Awww I'm so late to this thread freakin dammit.

Really loved this game, it was some really intense stuff.

Spoiler

I never found the puzzles all that difficult but door 6 iirc had the worst freakin puzzles omg. The one with the electrode puzzle made me rage so hard. >;[

Like Minato my first ending was the

Spoiler

submarine one!... I think I got it then the axe one.

 

[F8AL]

Okay, so I'm finally playing this game again after I got

Spoiler

the dreaded axe ending over a month ago.

Clover better have a good excuse/reason for doing that.

 

[Raziek]

Nope, not really. It's not canon. She thought he was dead, so snapping occurred.

 

[F8AL]

Playing this game makes me VERY depressed.

 

[Lythium]

Did you get another ending yet?

 

[sakuraZaKi]

Really, F8AL, you HAVE to keep going.

The story WILL get better and better after... 2 or 3 of the several endings. NOT depressing. You'll come to understand everything by the end.

 

[The Real Gamer]

Has anyone here every played Ever17?

I've read reviews on it and apparently it has an even better story than 999 does (hard for me to believe).

Can anyone confirm this?

 

[F8AL]

Did you get another ending yet?

No, I'm about to go through door 7 in the large hospital room. I already tried door 3 and that room freaks me out.

Really, F8AL, you HAVE to keep going.

The story WILL get better and better after... 2 or 3 of the several endings. NOT depressing. You'll come to understand everything by the end.

I don't think my heart can take another 'bad' ending.

 

[Teczer0]

Sure you can F8AL.

Just play it again hoping for the good one =3

No but really, the story is really intense and worth it man.

 

[F8AL]

I should stop playing 999 in the dark/night time. It makes it even worse with the music and descriptions.

 

[Teczer0]

Dude iunno I actually thought the music was awesome rofl.

 

[Minato]

I haven't played it yet, but my friend likes it a lot. He didn't feel disappointed at the story after playing 999.
It's rated higher on vndb.org too compared to 999.

999 had an excellent soundtrack. I'll list and link my favorites since I'm bored af right now:

Eternitybox - This is the LAST song I want to hear if I'm ever on a ship. One of the creepiest songs in the game in my opinion, and this is the song that always comes to mind whenever I think of the Gigantic.

Quietus - Haha I'll never forget how much of an impact my first ending (the

Spoiler

Axe Ending

) had on me thanks to the pure shock of that particular ending combined with hearing this particularly creepy tune at 3:00 a.m. with all of the lights off. This theme haunted me for the rest of the night and resulted in me having to sleep with the lights and TV on. After that night I was admittedly a bit too afraid to pick up the game again for a few days in fear of scaring myself ****less again. Great theme and a great ending, indeed.

Morphogenetic Sorrow - Obviously the best and most memorable song in the game but unfortunately I can't go into detail about why it is without spoiling the main twist of 999.

*Clicks on the 2nd link*

*Hears it for 5 seconds*

*Closes the window*

THANKS, TRG! It took me an entire month to regain the confidence to play the game again after getting that ending...

Wow I REALLY want to play this game now! I don't think there are any English copies left being sold though if my knowledge is correct.

999 may have been the first visual novel adventure game I've ever played but just the thought of a game having an even better story than it immediately sparks my interest in said game, because I personally though 999 was a story that couldn't be topped. Apparently I'm wrong... I NEED to play this game.

Lol trust me I felt your pain dude. After I finished that ending I felt like a little kid again from the amount of paranoia I was dealing with. Just keep playing though. The True ending is totally worth it!

 

[DtJ S2n]

I'll step in to agree that 999's soundtrack is really friggin' good. I don't really like eternitybox so much, though it is good for the mood. I actually think Senary Game was really great. This song's sudden like bursts of sounds like someone screaming and arrow-shot sounds that kind of makes me think of a trap,

Spoiler

combined with it playing in the god damn torture room

had me on edge and I had to just put the game down for a while and breathe in the middle of that room.

My first ending was

Spoiler

the stupid fake coffin ending

and Quietus STILL made that... I don't even know the word. Shock? Creepiness? Desire to understand what in the world to going on? I don't know but it was pretty intense. I also love trains.

And naturally Morphogenetic Sorrow doesn't even need an explanation.

Spoiler

The only song that could make a friggin sudoku puzzle feel important

 

[The Real Gamer]

Big news guys! Remember the picture of the new cast in the 999 sequel? Well it's confirmed that the pink haired girl is indeed Clover and the black lady is Alice (ALL-ICE) just as we expected!

New character descriptions-

Dio (the man on the very right) is a self-righteous troublemaker. He has a rude way of talking and apparently a soft spot. Dio appears to have picked up a stray kitten on a rainy day.

Tenmyouji (old man) is a stubborn old man and the sole survivor of a murder. He used to work at a research facility that was building a probe to explore Mars where the incident took place. It appears there is a connection between the Ambidex Game and his past work.

K (the robot) lost his memory and doesn’t know his real name or age. He’s always logical and has a robot-like personality.

Yotsuba (Clover!!) has a wild personality and has been involved in a similar situation twice before. She also knows Alice from the Nevada desert.

Quark (little boy) is a ten year old boy with an innocent nature who may be infected with a virus. Even though he is not related to Tenmyouji he sticks with him.

Luna (woman on the very left) is a twenty year old woman. She has a pacifist personality and holds a physicians license.

Alice (ALL-ICE!!) has a body made of "ICE9"…

Zero the Third (the rabbit??) is the game master will penalize players

What do you guys think?? Alice goes from being this mysterious figure in the first game to an actual character in the sequel, Clover is back in the Nonary Game for the second time, we have another large man with amnesia, and Zero the third?? It looks like the story is finally starting to take its shape!

 

[sakuraZaKi]

Holy freakin' ****

****s about to go down up in here.
