Virtues Last Reward...Virtue is a dick
After seeing Cass playing the prequel to this game I was quite intrigued to give it a go myself, I somehow managed to completley forget that I wanted to play it until this sequel came out however so thought I would give it a go.
During the first few hours of gameplay I was thinking that I was heading into some crazy horror 'Saw' kind of scenario, this facade kept up for quite a while until you realize there is some timey wimey kind of stuff happening and it turns out what you thought was an insane rabbit set on murder is actually an elaborate scheme to save the world.
So there's a crazy pink hippy rabbit trapping nine people in an abandoned facility and they have to escape rooms and be badass at game theory and basically get nine points to escape. Once the escape hatch opens though everyone else is trapped indefinatley. This rabbit loves the number nine...like weird....
You have the basic protagonist male, Sigma...student...bit of alright....lets be friends and save everyone..and also the main female protagonist, Phi...bit of alright and moody (because that 'I'm gonna kick you in the balls if you speak to me' kind of look is what all the guys want nowadays apparently. There's Alice the bitch dressed as an egyptian prostitute, Clover the ditsy sidekick, Dio the 'circus ringleader' who I must admit is an absolute knobhead, Tetsu...someone...grumpy oldman, Quark the annoying brat, Luna the charming nurse and K the mystery armor man, who is actually pretty awesome in this line up. Surprisingly the game was actually pretty good, even with this mass of utterly balls characters, I guess they worked in a team dynamic.
Overall nice escape the room game that got me thinking and took up a surprising amount of time. If I have to see any more electronic doors open and me travelling as a little dot on a map again, I think I might throw my DS in the canal though...
