The Thought Police Hotline: Episode 1

Developer: Voonle

Publisher: Voonle

Pros:

1. The story does keep its merits as sci-fi with interesting inclusions such as the government taking over privacy and tracking emotions, calls, and other activities. I could see the inspirations if this was inspired by Minority Report or the anime series PSYCHO-PASS, or just the outlook on real life itself.

Birth ME Code

EDIT: Review updated to reflect the Feb 7th 2021 ending rewrite (version 1.2.1).

–—

Birth ME Code (BMEC) is solid second entry in the ABiMe series and sequel to Head AS Code.

Overall, an enjoyable experience, although not without its ~~criminals~~ cons. I would definitely recommend this game to anyone who enjoys darker, grittier plot-heavy mysteries and visual novels.

Disclaimer: From a gameplay perspective, BMEC does NOT offer fully integrated escape room puzzles like Zero Escape nor Classroom Trials / Endless Debates like Danganronpa, so if you go in expecting either of these from this indie game, prepare to be disappointed in that regard.

I rarely write reviews, but I felt compelled to write about this… experience, I think I’ll call it. I’m a huge fan of Zero Escape and having played this developer’s first game (Head AS Code), I was counting down the minutes until its release so I could have a solid excuse to ignore the giant pile of work sitting on my desk.

So was it worth it? Yes, absolutely, 100%, without a doubt, every penny.

Birth ME Code is an ontological mystery game wherein a bunch of people are dumped in a place and told they’ve gotta play a death game for the chance to MAYBE get out alive. So yes, same premise as Zero Escape. However, this genre is less about premise and more about world building, twists, and flowcharts. Flowcharts are essential because they allow the player to live the story from all perspectives. How many times do you play a game or watch a movie and think, “I wonder what would happen if that guy died instead of this lady?” I know, frequently. It was a rhetorical question.

Head AS Code

I like it. This is an indie game styled after the Zero Escape franchise, so there are a lot of references and spirit you can feel throughout the game. Just so you know, Head AS Code is a remake of the original title and is somehow superior in every sense. The presentation is pretty simple and there’s a lot to think about in this plot-driven story. I wish I could say much about the characters and the plot, but a lot of this game relies on reveals, so the magic would happen best if you saw them yourself. Coming up with theories is great, and I like to think this game gave me many opportunities to guess at what’s going to happen next. One of my only real non-spoilery complaints about this game… I’d say it would be the serious lacking of puzzle difficulty. As in, there’s only one real head-scratcher and that’s it. All the “puzzles” are just clicking the next option and that’s it. I get why creator decided to remove the difficulty from the game and I understand that many puzzles in the original version alienated the player from ever solving them without outside help. Still, this beats out doing obscure mathematics anytime.

A refreshing swim during an absolute drought of mysterious multiple-route sci-fi visual novels, exploring esoteric concepts both originating from science and philosophy, and delving into matters of the mind and body.

Many game reviews I’ve read act redundant by repeating the plot summary and anything else you would find on public platforms, so I’ll try to refrain from doing so.

Written alone by one person, this visual novel features a strong and distinct cast whom you will interact with often, soaked in their own mysteries, to varying degrees of intimacy and personality across several routes. This is one of few VNs where, when given the option to talk with certain characters, I had wanted to talk to everybody right off the bat. What fuels the nuanced characters, their desires and motives? Hidden behind layers of facade and veil, YOU will quest to learn the reason for each member’s existence.

ROBOTICS;NOTES ELITE

(Please note that this game may take 50 hours or longer to complete.)

Full review: https://www.kirikiribasara.com/2020/10/10/roboticsnotes-elite-review/

Pros:

Excellent story and characters
A worthy third entry in the Science Adventure series

Cons:

Flawed translation
Numerous technical issues
No mouse support

Originally released in 2014 in Japan, Robotics;Notes Elite is the third game in the Science Adventure series, and together with its sequel, Robotics;Notes DaSH, it is the latest in the series to receive an English localization thanks to the efforts of Spike Chunsoft, Inc.

EDIT 1:

My first review was slightly too scathing, but I’m still gonna call this game a mixed bag. I’ve played up to chapter 8 and it’s been wildly swinging from engaging to boring. Chapters 5 and 7 especially are pretty enjoyable, but chapter 1 (the first half or so), the second half of chapter 4, and pretty much all of chapter 6 aren’t very engaging. The plot itself gets pretty spicy starting around chapter 5, and chapter 7 was shockingly good compared to how boring 6 was, so things might continue to ramp up. Otherwise, ehhhh I’m neutral on the pacing of this game. Definitely not the most engaging SciAd game.

Decide 4 God

Decide 4 God is the final entry of the Abime Series.

One hour.

The woman and her team of investigators had one hour to infiltrate a prison and cause a breakout. Her dearest hope was that, among the prisoners, there would be her brother who disappeared nearly twenty years ago.

She couldn’t shake the feeling that something sinister was waiting for her team.

One hour.

The man had been up for one hour, contemplating his past. Everything changed when breakfast was delivered and a box with clothing was slid through the opening in the door. He was told to put it on if he wanted to escape.

Something felt wrong but the prisoner obeyed. Someone was breaking him out… but why?

It is for the future when none may tread.

Key features:

The final chapter in the Abime Series. Decide 4 God contains the entire truth behind the events of both Head AS Code and Birth ME Code. Familiar faces return and new faces emerge to complete the unfortunate cast suffering through over a dozen endings due to the misdeeds of Empathy Systems.
Two sides of the story. You will be able to follow multiple characters as they live out their terrible tale. Side A and Side B have wildly different events making up opposite parts of a whole story.
Interactions are your choices. The companions you choose to explore with determine what you find, and what you find determines your fate. You can examine rooms alone or with others, and their involvement will change how the story unfolds.
Knowledge is a powerful curse. Everything you learn in your trip through Complex Twelve becomes a permanent part of your journey. The data transfers across playthroughs, but autosave means your information retention is permanent. Be careful of what you learn, as some of it may not be good for you…
A linear yet malleable flowchart. The game’s flowchart sorts your available paths and allows you to combine them in various ways to achieve new endings. Can you find your way out of this labyrinth of information and reach a Permanent Ending?

Note: Only 16:9 resolution ratio is fully supported.

And the third entry in the Space Funeral series sports a lovely Vaporwave palette. OK, not really, but it might as well be. I could leave it right there, and it’d stand just fine as a recommendation or not, but I’ll elaborate. This is one of those RPG Maker games that defies the usual, and flies in the face of all the half-assed creations that make most people wary about buying anything from the engine. It’s still a little rough around the edges right now, but it’s certainly playable, and I can’t wait to see the finished product!
