list of plot holes (spoilers, obviously)

i like doing this :)

* the whole bats490 code thing. the moment a single person figures it out, they would post it on the internet.
* how does naix earn money?
* mizuki not knowing about her clone. this is sigma level avoidance of gaining critical data (in VLR we're supposed to believe he never once touched his own face)
* abis is not doing background checks (who is related to whom in what way)
* people don't want to reveal anything but agree to have their dreams read
* the psync works despite tearer wearning a mask

in zero escape games, there's a reason the PC/NPCs can't just search/enter everywhere. but what's abis' excuse?

(in VLR we're supposed to believe he never once touched his own face)

I have never understood how people consider this a plot hole on account that Sigma had synthetic arms programmed by his older self, which stands to reason that his hands were programmed to feel his face as if it was his younger one.


And before you try to go on about the logistics of that being possible, i need you to understand you're really stretching it if you can't suspend your disbelief that he could do that in a hyper sci-fi setting set 60 years in the future that also involves jumping your consciousness through time.

it's one thing to program fake sensory input, but what if there is something blocking a motion? i cannot break VLR time travel with a what-if because the "specs are complete" and the event already occured

Having just finished the game, honestly, the absolute goofiest contrivance to me is that ANYBODY (including Ryuki) believed the first body was "a glitch in the simulation." The fact it had to be proven to him was silly.

The moment Tokiko starts saying "actually it's possible if we're in a simulation for a body to TOTALLY RANDOMLY teleport halfway like that, as an absolutely unintended thing, something nobody obviously did intentionally" I feel like somebody should have reminded her there was a VERY intentional, NOT random sign board stuck into the body.

"Ohhh, think about that spooky ship that teleported and had bodies melted into the hull-" okay? How many of those bodies had signboards stuck in them, Tokiko?

So.
Why is Komeiji's head a cube?

My misgiving is the "dahlia boat" name. I still don't know where that came from. Maybe it's an obscure reference to a game (breaking the 4th wall) to go along with the "we are in a simulation" theme.

Official developer commentary is:

It's an anagram of IALDABAOTH.

Ialdabaoth is a demiurge in Gnosticism creed - so basically a false god.

I also found that one very far fetched, but well. You can take it as simply some random name that Tearer made up as a fake identity.

The name itself isn't relevant, it serves the same function as the Nil Number: a pass phrase impossible-to-obtain without the ability to Fray(or SHIFT in ZE terms). What I'm curious about is who you give the name to. When asked for it during Ryuki's Somnium, you hear a tinging sound effect and Mama's deep voice, the same as those used during Mama's seances with the "entity" from some other dimension. It's probably safe to assume it's the same entity.
