Well, I finally played the remake, and overall, like everyone else said, is a massive improvement over the original/jam version. I love the new portraits, the short intro, style matches, and the rewriting of the story. The newly added deduction minigame, reminiscing of AA a bit, is also really cool. Overall, verily well done remake. I guess one thing I will agree on some comments, is basically the kitchen area lags. Might possibly depends on hardware again on this one, or might need to optimize further on this one.
Again, well done.
I did a playthrough of the remake. (And also has no commentary.)
