(Spoiler opinionated review)
Instead of the usual cast of 16 students, the game simmers it down to a total of 10 participants. In this new version, characters' sprites are cleaned, and background stock art are replaced with original works. I find the user interface very clean and immersive. A minor issue is that the student roster does not show up again when reloading the game. The game takes inspiration from Zero escape, and Ghost Trick: Phantom detective.
My experience with the game lay heavily on the story. Let's talk about the main character first: Echo Pine, the protagonist managed to make me understand and gripe at him a little. The idea of not having 'Ultimate' titles (a talent that one excels in) revolve around the characters true origin was a great idea but not expanded on. Sure, they sprinkled around exposition repeating the same lines chapter by chapter that 'ultimate titles aren't everything' until the main character says 'I know' - however, it doesn't feel like he understands it completely.
While both chapter 1 and chapter 2 are coherently paced. I felt like chapter 3 onwards to chapter 5 had an exposition rush. I think it's best to let the readers think more about the clues, instead of using Gaia/Eve as a dumping tool. Some of the bad ends really highlighted a lot for me, like the elevator scene with Sei and Ashley's bad end. I feel like they could have done a lot more creative choices within the game. The memory rewind was a really cool idea, although it was only used a few times. They could have done a lot more with the binary codes given out, I feel. Since that is also a part of the main theme in the game.
Overall the game's alright, and for a reworked game I can see the passion provided.
