Sure.
But if you think the voice acting is 'absolutely horrendous' it just makes me think you need to play more games that actually have horrendous voice acting.

It's taken weeks, but I finally get to start playing.
Glad that the story moves along much faster now. An hour in and still no puzzles, though.

I've played near 16 hours for these past few days and so far, I think I've got the main themes of this ZTD. Its also pretty enjoyable, just as good as VLR IMO. Also this game has an easy feels button every god damn time they play the soundtrack
Lunas Lullaby.
I bought the game from the same shop than you, and I received it the same day too. This Canadian shop it's a glad surprise.
Need some help... from reading other people's hints I can see that I'm missing one of the four possibilities at the top (
) but I have no idea how to trigger the scene.
EDIT: Nevermind, I just repeated the same thing again and this time it worked...
C-Team's execution
I have all but 1 fragment unlocked for C, all but 2 for Q, all but 1 for D, and I've chosen every option for who to vote for at the beginning, all of them are filled up. I've tried replaying both options for voting for C-Team but it doesn't trigger the scene... am I missing something else?

So I just finished looking up The Monty Hall Problem and my mind is officially blown. I wish the game explained it better, but still....wow!
That part got me good. C-Team puzzle spoilers
I was coming at it from Junpei's perspective of 50/50 and found the mask each time. Only when I DIDN'T switch my original choice did I not find it
Thanks Kinsei for the hint! When I discovered what I was missing, the rest of the escape was easier than I expected. Just a few mini-games were difficult, but nothing than brute force can't do!
From the original set of fragments, I have only one fragment of C-Team and two of D-Team. I can't waiting to start unlocking new fragments.

Theres a few slowdowns in some areas (very minor to me at least) and two of the characters have kinda muddied textures on their shirts but otherwise I haven't had any issues.

I am stuck again!
2 fragments for each team remain locked. I got all endings except the far right one. I can't see a route on the flowchart I didn't take.
could a gentle soul give me a subtle hint?

argh, I can't, I don't have my PC right now.
basically, all that's left is a far left route coming from 'first come first saved : D'. It's the one where nobody pushed the yellow button in the decontamination room. everything else seems to be complete.

The far left path is the
Force quit boxes. If you think you can open them using he passwords or whatever then that's where you want to go. If not, it must be something else.
Edit:
On the far right path you mentioned, have you
got the leftmost of the 4 branches. I think you need that one

I suspected that. however I can't find a way to input any code on this.

They're probably one of the fragments you're missing. Copy pasting my edit.
Edit:
On the far right path you mentioned, have you got the leftmost of the 4 branches. I think you need that one to proceed. The other 3 aren't as important.
If you don't for that one path you need to
shoot Eric
Otherwise I think you must be missing something on the flowchart

damn
I have 2 codes given by zero to input somewhere : 'vive hodie' and the code to the quantum computer console.
edit : OK I get it.
I had to make all 3 teams vote again to get the 'everyone survives' outcome. new fragments unlocked, phew.

I'm only an hour and a half in so I'm hoping that it just has an awkward opening and eventually gets into a groove, but I'm getting a little bit worried. It's clearly much more up-front about being a sequel than VLR was, but at the same time it seems like it's stepping back from that, trying to be accessible to new players in a way that winds up being frustrating since I'm already up to date and I'd like to just jump into the thick of it. It feels like a third act that's trying way too hard to function as a first act.
(Also laughed and said "of course" that in a game with so little animation they still made sure to include jiggle physics for Tits McGee.)

Um...
Two hours in, I solved
using only knowledge from VLR.
It feels good to sequence-break like this, even if they still make sure you can't actually advance from here.
...And then leave you wondering what the hell you are looking at.

I did the same but the game wouldn't accept my answers. So I played through the entire game to get the real answers and curiously STILL couldn't get it so I looked it up and the solution was
I had to put in one space in bluebird.

It also accepted
MUSIC BOX
a space to fill nine characters
Although I did go back and replay those parts of VLR just to confirm the wording.

I'm legit stuck.
After the C-Team puzzle room N
What am I supposed to do after that? I don't really have any options left on my flowchart. Only thing I can think of is the
After the C-Team puzzle room N
uclear Reactor/Bomb/Wtf When you go through all those SHIFTS and get attack by Violent Q and Carlos Shifts to when he killed Akane and lost his hand.
message he sent to Q-team to check the portrait. But when I went back to the Pod Room I couldn't do anything with it when I checked it.
There should be
a new fragment with Q-Team that let's you remove the painting and examine the door.
If you've already done that and are still stuck then Hint:
Think about where you might have seen the door before.
EDIT: Fuck, I messed up the spoiler tags. Hope I didn't accidentally spoil someone.

There's no new fragment.
And I Tried checking the door in the Pod Room, Q-Team Execution and the Locker room (not the same door but it's yellow so I thought it might work.)
EDIT: Figured it out.
Just had to let the time run out on Who Killed Mira. Because that's makes sense.
I never had to do that. I just
had to tell Eric that I didn't know who killed her.

Jesus, switching between memo to file to puzzle mode to memo to etc on the 3ds can be irritating. Why did they have to remove features that worked so great in the previous games . I don't even know what the second screen is for anymore (which is weird since people seem to count dual screens as a plus with the 3ds version). There's also some crazy input lag going on when note taking.

Booted the game up for the first time, correctly chose which way the coin would be facing and got an ending after less than 5 mins. What? I get the point of it, but that's just silly.
I think the first time it always lands on what you choose lol
