Wait for it...
A visual novel? In English? For the DS? That isn't Ace Attorney?
Cool. I'm interested.

Finally, a Chunsoft game coming out here that ISN'T a Fushigi no Dungeon clone. Oh, and it's one of their famous "sound novels", to boot. If this sells well, Aksys better license 428: Fusasareta Shibuya de for the US market!

Must. Resist. ⑨ jokes.
Okay, I tried the demo.
How the heck you are supposed to open the suitcases?
And don't give same explanation as everyone seems to give: 'Look at those two piece of papers', I can't figure it fricking out from triangles and squares x-x;

Did you pick up anything else by the sink?
And, if you did, don't forget about the "search" function, for items. Speaking of which, that's a pretty poor name for that function. It really should be "examine". Maybe they'll fix that in the final game.. :x
Now, as for the game itself, it looks pretty neat. I'm looking forward to it, certainly. I'd like to think that, if this is something of a success, it might encourage someone to try releasing some more obscure games for the platform... Nanashi no Game comes to mind.
But that's really too much to hope for, probably. <_<

Technically you're supposed to use "persons" for a countable number of humans and "people" for an unspecified mass, but nowadays "people" is used exclusively outside of technical and legal language.

It's pretty wordy, even for a visual novel game. Not bad, though. It's like a less-insulting version of SAW, in a way.
Not dead yet.
The full game already has a thread
, just so you know.
El Cid
Definitely very wordy. And not particularly well written, either... I've always liked the idea of visual novels but none of them really feel like, well, a book. It's more like a direct narrative, which gets pretty silly after a while, because you feel they might as well animate the thing.

Yeah, it's really spelled as "Nine Persons". Shouldn't it have been "Nine People"? Meh.
I'm starting to notice I only go to this forum to post demos and such. I haven't even visited that other topic I made.
I'll play this tomorrow.
