What's the point of buying more games when you have a giant pile? When are you going to have time to actually play all those games? Don't you think there's better things to spend your money on? ▼ |
Wow, the hair rendering looks so realistic! |
This game was unfortunately not as good as Burn Cycle unless you dig the "train full of high school Japanese girls" setting. Unfortunately, I didn't recognize most of the cast but I think they're pretty famous? I did recognize Fukuda Kyoko and oh boy that was a quick flashback to the past. Since this game came out in 1998 and she was born in 1982, she actually should have been going to high school at the time, if my gamer math is correct. Then again, why the hell would you want to go to school when you can act in a mediocre 6,800 yen PS1 FMV murder mystery game?
Oh crap, my book report is due tomorrow! |
Yeah, 6,800 yen for a 3 hour game. Ouch. Of course it's way cheaper now but can you imagine if someone were to try to sell a shitty 2-3 hour game for $60 today??
Rating Pending? I'll rate it right now: diarrhea |
Arbitrary time limits that make you restart the game? We love those!! |
Teacher's knees here because looking at high school girls' knees is sick. |
Turns out clothing is pretty effective at covering body parts... IRL |
Anyways, you go from room to room, asking questions and uncovering more questions to ask. Swap the disc, repeat, and finally at the end of disc 4, you have to actually do some thinking to present the correct evidence to identify the killer.
It's just like Murder on the Orient Express but with Japanese girls and the mystery not even remotely as interesting and there you have Murder on the Eurasia Express in a nutshell. However, I still gave it a score of 2 as barely worth checking out because I felt the human drama was interesting enough to warrant a couple hours of your time.
One of the girls gives you (the camera) a kiss at the end and your secretary is different depending on how fast you beat the game, etc but no way I'm going to replay just to see those minor differences.
At least the manual is really nice. Took a quick pic before purging. |
