I got To The Moon and If My Heart Had Wings since that one was almost 70% off~ Started To The Moon, haven't played much, but it's already a very charming game!

Also my Grandia II review should be up Monday

Then let me know what you think when you've already played some!

Yas, murder mystery!

I'll add that one to the log, then!

You think it's any good?

Just feeling weird about a situation I'm sort of going through. I don't feel right addressing it publicly, so that's why my post was a bit vague. Sorry about that, I know that can be a bit irritating when people do that. I'll be alright.

Nope, only 1 and 2. I'll need to look into those

To put it more simply - the twist being that there is no twist is a great if done well, which I think it was here

I just like how the game goes about twists - from an outside angle, making it something completely different, rather than something that would play into an expected resolution. The impostor reveal didn't disappoint me simply because I thought it was incredibly original that something so intriguing is just played as something so minor, especially since that was actually the impostor's M.O. - he was completely unremarkable on his own, so no one really knew who he was.

But yeah, we all take in media differently and that's awesome

Well, the first thing is Monokuma stating that they all lost their memories of their time together at school. The player is lead to think that it's impossible - rehashing the big plot twist from the first game would be so lame. But they do just that, except it makes sense in the context of the universe and makes total sense as it's not played up in the slightest. The we have the first victim - in both games its someone that's built up to be incredibly important for the rest of the game, but that completely changes once they bite it. Additionally, the impostor was built up even more as it was a returning character, but not only is that expectation defied by him playing no role, even the "big reveal" that he's an impostor and not Byakuya is just hand waved instead of being the big deal you'd expect him to be, as he's one of the most important players in the first game. Then there's the suicide you'd expect but this time around, the cuisine victim isn't labeled the killer because of a technicality where this isn't actually a suicide, and your Kirigiri stand-in that you'd expect to stay with you till the end, just like Kyoko, dies after that penultimate case. There's more examples on TV tropes but those are the ones that I remember standing out the most, atm
