Zero Escape 3: Zero Time Dilemma

My Game Stop literally only had one copy of the game and even then, I lucked out and only got it because the guy who pre-ordered it was too lazy to come in and get it until the end of the week.

Mira's voice work is so natural it's actually a little disconcerting. It doesn't sound like typical anime/amateur voice acting.

Well now Amazon says they can ship it regularly. Let's see if it works.

I tried to get mine at Target, but they said they wouldn't have it until December 31. Game Stop had it, though. Weird.

Anyway, I'm pretty close to the end at this point, but I think I missed something: does anyone know which fragment has the password for the quantum computer as part of the solution to the Force Quit Boxes, and how to unlock said fragment?

Edit: NVM. Quick tip with some early-game spoilers: you need to view each teams' execution scene. This is pretty early stuff - before any Escape sequences.

I'm in the Transporter room and I'm tying to figure out what to with these four numbers lined up vertically. Also how do I view each execution scene? When I was playing as Q team, and voted against what the coaster said, I just got the Q execution scene again.

So I've noticed a bug; trying to change the game's three volumes does nothing on the main screen options menu. That is, once you boot up your game file after changing the volumes, they reset. You have to open the menu during the game if you want to change the game's volumes.

For the transporter puzzle, you'll need to find a computer on a wall, near where you got the cards lit up. There, you'll be able to get two wheels with the symbols that you can hook up to the apparatus near the card tester. There, just input the horizontal sequence that you've been given, and it will give you the vertical sequence

As for the execution scenes, simply go through all three voting segments and give the team who you wanted to see executed two votes (for example, have C and Q vote D).

Now I have another question (pretty major spoilers here): At the standoff in the study, what do I have to input to get the third ending? I've already gotten "Shoot Eric", "Shoot Mira" and "Shoot Delta", but when I try to type in "Sean", it just gives me an error, and it doesn't give me any numbers, so I can't put in the number Zero gave with his name. Anyone?

I already did all that. I just don't know what to do with the vertical number sequence or where to input it; I have an inkling its the device used to compare cards' value, but it can only take one card at a time

Ah, okay. Click on the large container directly below the horizontal sequence's display, and a panel will open up.

The fourth name is Nobody or noone or something like that. You could also say "Me" instead of Sean

Ah, thanks. Although I should note that saying "Me" just makes the game say that you can't commit suicide .

Anyway, that's everything. I definitely think I enjoyed it, although I think there are a few loose ends, and there are some bits that I'm still trying to wrap my head around, with one twist gnawing at me in particular.

That said, while I'm still very confused by said twist, there is one piece of genius foreshadowing for it that only just occurred to me. A single question, left unasked, even when somebody really should have thought to ask it.

MAJOR SPOILERS BELOW. READ AT YOUR OWN RISK.

That question being "Who's Q?''

Isn't that what players thought when they saw the cast list?

I just got CQD Ending 2. Is that really it?

If you check "Files", there are a few epilogue prose segments that give some closure. Though Sigma, Phi and Diana don't get one, strangely enough.

Other than that, yeah, that's pretty much it. Let the discussion begin!

I saw the files, yeah, but what about Clover and Alice's Schrodinger's Cat? What about Kyle transmitting his mind back in time? The mysterious person Akane talks to at the end of VLR? I mean Free the Soul isn't even really expanded upon...

(Major Spoilers) Delta being Brother felt completely pointless, too. Why did he need to be Brother if he was trying to stop a terrorist from destroying the world, which was Brother's MO in VLR? And why isn't he concerned about or discussing Left?

Started my file.

5 minutes later, got the first ending. That was fast!

Well, I'll confess I'm confused about those too. It's possible that certain elements were planned, but it was eventually decided not to include them. I'm hoping for an interview or something to clear some things up.

Maybe we should stop using white text? I can't really read it on a mobile phone.

As for Brother, everything we heard about him was second-hand, and it's likely that quite a bit of it was incorrect speculation and outright lies. As I understand it, while Delta is very well-informed, he's not omniscient - he did not actually know who this terrorist was, so he made it so that they would likely die in the VLR timeline. And of course, he needed to ensure his own birth. The whole thing's a bit of a clusterfuck.

As for Left, I think that Sean was Left - or at least, the original Sean. I'm not entirely certain of this, but I think that while they were never officially brothers, Delta grew to consider Sean as such. Unless I'm very much mistaken, Sean died as one of the many consequences of Mira's first murder. Perhaps that point could have been elaborated on - it might have provided some more humanity to the character.

Ah, my apologies. I didn't want to talk about the really meaty stuff uncovered in case someone accidentally forgot to toggle off spoilers.

I will say this - one of my favorite parts of the game was Akane explaining Many Worlds Theory with her Back to the Future headcanons.

That part was pretty fantastic, yeah.

So this is apparently fastest time I have completed a game

Seriously though, do you always answer Coin Flip right on first time or is it always red?

I'm annoyed. I'm in the rec room and I'm stuck on the roulette puzzle where you need to input 4 letters. I found the letter chart and matched it up with the circled numbers, but it won't accept the letters I got! I got 'S I N P'

Well, that's actually not the only hint you can find regarding that particular puzzle. There's something else you can find in that room that makes it clear how to use those letters.

Though if you'd just like to bypass that particular annoyance then I'll say that [solution hint]: You're very close to the answer. Just a bit jumbled up in the order.

Mine was blue.

My coin was blue too. The coin toss uses a legitimate RNG, as far as I know.
