What’d you think?: This game… this is not my kind of game. A 3rd person shooter on a train with “puzzles” that more or less just amounted to backtracking to areas that a new key would unlock, I grew tired of this game quickly. What really hamstrung me, however, was that random.org had selected the Japanese version of the game. At one point there was a door with a code on it, but none of my notes had a 4-digit number that I could try, and guessing wrong spawned an enemy, so I couldn’t brute force it. Eventually I realized the code was a date that was mentioned, and another note made that clear, but playing in Japanese, in a game with a lot of kanji, made it so I did not realize it. In my despair, I lept from the train, making this the only game in the entire project I actually gave up on, so far.
