I did a video walkthrough for the game on my youtube channel:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HIVbsvLfpGw
It includes all 3 endings.
It was my first time playing but the puzzles were easy enough since I played a lot of picross.
It certainly was an interesting story id give it a 2.5/5
The length is fine, the endings are easy to get. I dont like that you have to play through the game 3 times to unlock all CGs in the menu, since it overwrites your completion if you just load a save file and get another ending, so in the end you only keep the CGs for that ending.

Thanks a lot for your comment and the walkthrough video!
Yeah, the hardest puzzle of this game is Nonogram in my opinion, so knowing this kind of puzzle beforehand will make your way to the end of this game way quicker.
Haha, and I'm sorry for the inconvenience. Actually, if you load a file and continue playing it to get another ending you will still finish the gallery. Because RPG Maker VX Ace saved files don't share the saved data system, I had to save the unlocked data on a separated file. This file is loaded once at the start of the game so if you restart the game, the gallery will be updated. Don't trust the gallery in the saved file... I should clear them earlier, it was the default setting though.

yes, I've restarted the game and all unlocked! thank you XD
BTW... love the CGs~! They're so great :> And the story concept is great too :D (even there are many things weird as Dragnfly wrote ^ ^; I really enjoyed the game!)

Hope there will be another game from you guys in the future ^ ^

I'm glad you like it ^_^ Thank you for playing our game!

WOOO *^* Someone on facebook just Teached me about this game I love it *^* I will do more of these puzzles and cool idea to

Show

Put these the nonogram pictures above each other to get a word XD

I know, right? That's why I love Nonogram! :-D

@Dragnfly:
* Stepping sound: The sound works based on the type of tile, so whenever you are on a floor where you can walk around freely, the sound will be on when you press the moving buttons. I haven't known how to limit that error yet, but I think it's fun so I still keep it here. If there are more people report that it makes them feel annoying, I will remove it then.

* SHIFT: I keep the default setting of Yanfly's script. Testers didn't have problem with this so I think it's fine. Like the stepping sound, I will consider changing the button when there are more people reporting about this.

* Mugshots: (I guess they are the face icon in the dialogue box?)
If it is, then yes, as you mentioned, I feel the lack of faceset as well. But I didn't think it as a big problem so it was slipped. I will pay attention at the faceset more.

* Yes, the Nonogram setting is one of the works I'm really proud of. I almost got risk of it in the middle of the work because it require too many switches. But I'm glad that I can finish it.
Unfortunately, the explanation for it is so lame. And I'm sorry for that.

* For the final ending that you missed, is this what you're looking for?
I'm sorry to know that you don't have the game with you anymore. However, I still write down here if anyone else is facing the same problem and if they are reading this, although I have shown how to get it in the walkthrough page.


* I'm terribly sorry for the writing. I believe that Ell1e did have a hard time with proofreading the writing. Without Ell1e, I don't know if I can imagine you go to the balcony and jump down to the ground from a high place, like, the 9th or 10th floor, after playing some first stages of the game? :-D
@Ell1e: I'm sorry, I might overlook it. I've just fixed those annoying "......" x-P

Back to @Dragnfly
* Leon tries to evade suspicion by saying he stubbed his baby toe on the wall. Stubbing your baby toe on a wall is only remotely possible if you're barefoot and approaching the wall at a corner or from a really weird walking position.

-Lepin was using a 2-way communication device (he responds to them) but nobody thought to assert that Leon was possibly the wrong Leon? Sure, we know why at the end but it makes no sense for the characters at the time. When this scene happens Leon is of the full belief that they have the wrong guy.

Oops, I haven't thought about that. And...

-Game: "You can solve these puzzles whenever you like." Player: *tries to solve puzzle* Aria: "Now isn't the time!"
I actually let the players to solve them freely at first, but it got many technical errors later, I couldn't fix them and I had no other choices than to narrow down the players' choices, at the moment.
-At one point there's an earthquake and one of the characters says to rush for the stairs. In an actual earthquake NEVER DO THIS! YOU WILL DIE! Also a funny flub for that scene is that me standing by a desk makes loud footstep sounds but a bloody earthquake is completely silent.
Hmm, better go up and find a way to jump out, or try to break a kind-of-impossible-to-break door? But you got an interesting point.

* Climax puzzle


* About the cut-off word mistake that you spotted, I have fixed it. And thanks for suggesting a helpful script! I will go look for it.

By the way, I think you should submit your review again. It's not about makerscore, it's about helping the others to review the game easier. There are some interesting points you've got there, and the others may read and realize the other odd points they detect along the game?
To be honest, I want to see it in the right place so I can find it again easier.
Sorry if I'm annoying you, and thank you very much for reviewing our game, Dragnfly!

I posted the puzzle elsewhere and got 8 replies. 7 people couldn't see anything wrong about this solution. One person knew of nonograms already.

They explained that the order of the blocks matters. So just to be sure I restarted my game and rushed to the first nonogram puzzle to re-read your instructions. I copy/pasted screenshots of the instructions for people and 4, (myself makes 5) didn't interpret them the way you meant. The part about "needing to be filled in from left to right", I took as a mandatory order. Like if you filled the puzzle in reverse the game wouldn't detect that as a correct response due to how it was evented. It sounded more like an RM cautionary thing than a nongram cautionary thing.

The person who knew nonograms explained that the tiles do indeed need to be filled in in the order the guide numbers are presented. Yeesh. I slaved over this thing for all this time due to shoddy rules. Ugh.

I'm starting to feel guilty about letting the little girl consider it easy after her poor explanation, which was indeed made by me.

Yes, there might be more than one way to fill the blocks if you only consider the numbers on the left, which indicate for grouping on same rows. That's why there are numbers above the puzzle to make the answer unique. I played it again myself to make sure it unique and the players can pass easily using the normal method of solving Nonogram.

In the poor instruction, she said the black square must be filled in order from left to right, and the same goes with columns, from top to bottom, or in short, the order matters. She also said that this is Nonogram, which is a famous puzzle, so you can find the online instruction easily.

I'm going to fix the instruction and ban her from saying that it was easy :-p Sorry for making it not clear enough.

I managed to get the Nonary puzzle solved but it is a pretty tough task if you're going into it not knowing the game beforehand (which was the case for me). So far I am liking the puzzles, however, so I'll keep going :D

EDIT: I forgot to mention that there is a bug if you press the X (on the right side under reset) without completing the Nonogram puzzle, it turns your character into the cursor and the screen gets too dark to solve the puzzle.

Thank you! And hey, it's Nonogram, not Nonary game. Are you a fan of Zero Escape series!?

And thanks for pointing out the bug! I made a mistake with a newly-changed variable. I have fixed the download link.
