7:50 PMmatthew wilsonyou should check out 999/vlr/ zero escape games

7:52 PMmatthew wilsontbf the big reveal happens 2 hours in.

7:57 PMRyan SteeleI’ll add in another shout for playing Zero Escape. It’s a visual novel, but it’s also more than that with the mysteries and puzzle solving. It isn’t a visual novel that you just read.
