Storytelling awesome, dubbing is just soooo professionnal (special quote to Cassidy, Grace and Ulysses)


However... There's one thing tha's been bothering me a lot, and I'm not sure if it just me who overlooked something or if it really is the major plothole that it look like.


Spoiler







 Y'know, about the relation between the time when Diana enter the boiler room and the actual time of death, which make some others thing before and during the blackout doesn't add up ?

I mean, one of thoses, for example : Does it mean the story make it look like Wolfgang and Diana scuffle actually lasted for... What, 45 minutes or so ? When it looked like they, em... "discussed", only 5 or even 10  at the very best ? 

Sure give another dimension to Damon statement about an hour-long struggle to Grace ^^"

Or did I really misunderstood something ?


(And I'm not talking about other thing, like with her blood loss seeming off sometime, the "silence" she heard after Wolfgang death while she could have faintly heard the ruckus in the dining hall through the vent since the music was off, and stuff like that...)

Apart from one bug at the end of the mock trial in prologue and a few bugs/errors during the class trial in chapter 1, the game was so good and polished/refined that I wouldn't mind waiting 1-2 years for a new chapter if it kept the same quality

this is really good but i wish there was a checkpoint system on the argument alteration as someone who sucks bad at touhou and the alike

it feels a bit unfriendly, especially as someone who suffers from hand cramps bad

Made an account just so I could leave this comment;

You guys have outdone yourselves with this project, all of the elements (visual, audio, gameplay) have been polished and work flawlessly, but beyond that you have managed to achieve a level of quality that rivals that of the games that inspired this one. 

I genuinely forgot after a while that what I was playing was fan made and not just a sequel created by the original developers which is no easy feat. 

I am very excited to see whats to come next as you have done an outstanding job both creating characters and also making them compelling. 

Even if this is all we end up getting (Prologue + Chapter 1) I would still be satisfied with the expierence due to how well made everything is. 

8/10 (Prologue + Chapter 1) better trial 1 then D1 and D2 

can't give you the extra 2 points due to the fact that the story is nowhere near over and future chapters could retroactivly make the Prologue + Chapter 1 better or worse.

It`s a gorgeous chapter, even master piece but... No adventure mode or something like that? I mean, there are a lot of characters with many freetimes but we can`t normally read them. Not to say about Cassidy, Jett or etc who have only 2 spare freetimes. I hope they they will make possibility to read all freetimes in another mode like it`s was in Danganronpa 2 with Island mode


But in general chapter is mind blowing, didn`t thought victim and killer will be... they (not to spoilering)

Was excellent.

[SPOILERS]


My game keeps crashing. During the second half of the trial, after tea time, I get to the flashback of Wolfgang and at the explosion, my game just stops working. Anyone else having the same issue? I don't want to restart the game and nothing I try is working.

Not sure if its the right forum to post - but I struggled in Chapter 1 with the Pathos mechanic. I could not absorb any pathos statements whatsoever - tried for a good 15 mins - so I am sure its not just my drunken targeting.

I was playing on Mean Logic Difficulty - so for the round with the pathos statements it might be that having a full set of truth bullets made it impossible? That's just a shot in the dark though - either way couldn't get the Pathos mechanic to work.

I hade issues with that as well while playing on a controller. After switching to keyboard I realized I needed to be very precise with my aim and hold down the button for it to work. I also had problems with the slow-mo mechanic at the time I think, so it might be a technical issue and different for everyone.

Anyway, switching to keyboard and aiming with the mouse while holding down the button worked for me after some trial and error (probably like 5-15 minutes of trying :/ )

absolutely loved it. anxious for the second chapter :)

Two of my favorite characters gone just like that 😭😭😭. 

Amazing chapter 1, I never saw that plot twist coming.

Hello, is there anywhere I can leave feedback that you can see? I'll post it here too:

loved the chapter, but I'd love if you tweaked a couple things around some minigames if possible?:

For the all out debate, could you make it so the quick menu for clues show the full description of said clue? During a trial if you press F1 you get the whole list of all clues not just the ones you can use, and going to the quick menu shows you the item name and picture but not the actual description, which can be tedious if the clue is only useful due to said description.

For the final minigame (avoiding spoilers), could you add the option to change keybindings, or have left and right mouseclick as alternative ways to shoot? F and Space feels very clunky.

Also for the final minigame it feels like complete overkill for the timer to be so short on the final word puzzle, the first few  times I legitimately thought I did something wrong because the minigame ended before I could even get the 2nd word out after rereading the options.

Overall though loved the game and can't wait for chapter 2, just my nitpicks above.

Really awesome chapter, absolutely loved it! Without going into spoilers, does anyone know if the free time events you do have any impact on the dialogue during the trial? Just curious, don't really have the time to click through the whole investigation/trial again.

Congrats!!!! I've only just started playing chapter 1, but the production value is insane. Everyone on the team must be working so hard, cheers!

LETS GOOOOOO

i downloaded it but i can't open it because it says the files are damaged?? did this happen to anyone else or is it just an issue on my end??

Does anyone know how to access chapter 1? I downloaded the file but there's no chapter selection. After finishing the prologue I'm brought back to the main menu. Selecting continue or new game doesn't work either.

for me, I just bought a separate game from gamejolt. That worked like a charm.

(+1)(-1)

do we need to have already completed the prologue on gamejolt or can we just access chapter 1 w/o it?

It works! Thank you :)

no problem! 

Went through the prologue and can't access chapter 1. It just jumped to the credits and sent me back to the main menu. Anyone else having this problem?

Yeah, I am. And I’ve been trying to work around it for the past half hour or so. Nothing’s been working for me

i think you have to download the game from the  page again, it's updated

Yeah, I got it to work.  Thanks

I downloaded a separate copy from gameJolt and It worked. Maybe you could try that.
