Okayy so I got down to playing through the newly-released prologue for Eden's Garden and I've got a couple of thoughts to share. First of all, I can't say much on the technical aspect as I'm not very technology-literate, so let's just get this quickly out of the way. The game *worked* and was downloadable without much fuss. That's enough for a 10/10 rating from me + bonus points for the nice music and voice acting, though I've never paid particular attention to that. (If I was to be picky: it's hard to access the menu on laptop and make saves since the F-digit keys regulate volume, but some good soul here shared how to use the "Fn" one). As for the logic stuff, it kind of irritated me during the class trial, because I'd agree with the "she [victim] couldn't see" thingy with the "bucket" truth bullet and then fight the urge to chew on my laptop when the game told me I'm an idiot and such. My dudes, bucket = bleach = burns on face = no vision?? couldn't see? ?? So that was counter-intuitive to go through, but I assume I can't expect the game to cater to my logic either. The case itself was pretty simple, but that was, like, the whole point, so not much to be added here. 

The plot is, well - "danga-like" probably covers it. The characters are surprisingly chill about the whole thing, but there are certain exceptions (Grace, we're looking at ya) that prevent the whole thing from appearing simply blunt and unconvincing. As for the characters themselves,,, here I probably have the most to say. I kind of expected a clearer archetype layout, like in danganronpa, but the roles are a bit muddled - that's a neutral comment though, I'm not saying that's bad or good. The protagonist gives off an extremely Byakuya vibe, I've seen some other people point it out too - that's another surprise, as I expected someone more Makoto-Hajime-Shuichi type. Still, Damon got interesting when a bit more of his personality was shown in the trial, so I'm warming up to him. His attitudes towards Ultimates is really interesting?? (also: fun thing to finally have a Proper Ultimate TM as the mc, no lucky fishy business. unless there's a biiig surprise in store for me) Moving on: Eva. EVA. I may be biased but oh god, even if I had literally no other reason to play this game, I'd play it for her. Funnily, she appears to mix Kirigiri's sidekick role with some slight mysterious-ominous thing of whatever Byakuya/Nagito/Kokichi had going on, but, hey, I love it. Everyone's too suspicious of her though, so I don't actually expect she'll be pulling any serious stunts soon, as it'd be too obvious. Also Ultimate Liar? And admitted it? Already antagonized 98.75% of the cast just through saying reasonable stuff? She doesn't seem aggressive, much rather polite (Kirigiri vibes once again), but we'll see how this unfolds. Her design is really great too, like capital-g Great for me (but these are overall top-notch for many characters), especially the hair and colour scheme of black-white-red-blue. And symbolic name in context of, well, Eden? We'll see if that's touched upon. As for the rest (mhm, I definitely didn't write this pot just to swoon over Eva a bit), they all seem on a decent level of design-personality-behaviour as of now. Most noteworthy for me would probably be (apart from Eva and Damon) Ulysses, Grace, Wolfgang and Mark, though, to be honest, no one of the bunch has like really Really picqued my interest yet. I'm looking forward to seeing them go just a tiny bit crazy! Also yeeah free time to chat with Eva yes-please.
