So how come it was changed? One thing I was really looking forward to do was the flipped sudoku part but this makes the true ending seem really stale and quite frankly, really dumb. Really Akane? You couldn't spell password? That's what got you killed? okay then

Wow, if this is real, WTF? LI looked at the YT comments to confirm it was real, and WTF?!?!?!?!?!?

I'd appreciate someone swopping in and confirming this. I wanted to re-play, but if this is what awaits now I'll just load from a different system... HOLY ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥.

Are you kidding? The Sodoku puzzle was easy. The new one is obtuse and, from a child's perspective, difficult because she has no idea whta she's looking at. Hell, I had no idea what I was looking at for a few minutes before I figured it out.

From a child's perspective the sudoku puzzle was way harder but alright we all got our opinions and that's fine but Akane couldn't spell password and she died because of it lawl

No way. That Sodoku puzzle would be easy for a child to figure out. That puzzle isn't as simple as just spelling "pasword", simply due to the layout. The layout of it would be confusing for a child. So no, you're wrong.

It had nothing to DO with spelling password. Jusst look at the damn thing. Then think about looking at it as a scared child in a life or death situation. She would not figure it out.

You can say each puzzle has its own “sweet spot”. You find it, hit it, then it's easy as pie; if not, then you're like whiffing at a curveball and miss.

Why was it changed? Because turning a monitor upside down is a pain in the ass.

I would have preferred the original. It gave a nice challenge. This new one is pretty much a plain joke in my book.

AT LEAST they could have made a "difficulty picker" into the game, which let you choose the difficulty of puzzles, and if the other characters give you hints.

The original Sodoku puzzle was easy as ♥♥♥♥. At least this can confuse people, due to how odd it looks at first glance.

I'd rather take normal/hard sudoku over this one, but that's my own opinion.

This only requires you to switch correct letters straight from their current places to correct places in the "password-line" - that literally requires you to just spell "PASSWORD" out.

But again, this one looks more complicated than it is, and a lot of people are confused by iit for a while just due to how complicated it looks. And the puzzle kinda needs to at least look complicated, because that way Akane is acually justified in not knowing what the ♥♥♥♥ to do.

Rofl, Are you on drugs 24\7?
1. Child would need to even know what sudoku is.
2. It would need to know math properly to even have a chance to count numbers,
3, Also ability to solve it within a minute in a situation where you are going to be burned to death.
4, And you need to do all calculations in you head,
5, its upside down.
You would di as well in that situation.

Switching letters to spell a word? Even dog can do it,

Not at all.
1. Sodoku is a very common game, and children do indeed know about it
2. Sodoku is very basic math.
3. That is a fair point, actually, but it's still made clear that Akane, and especially Junpei (a grown ass man who should very well know what Sodoku is and how to play) have no clue what they're looking at. Also, pretty sure it was nine minutes, not one.
4. Calculations are mostly unnecessary. All you need to do is make sure that you have one of every number through nine in each row, column, and box. You CAN use math, but it's not strictly necessary.
5. No, it's not. It's upside down for the player, but not for Junpei or Akane.

It's figuring out what you're looking at that's the hard part. When the rerelease first came out, there were more than a few topics expressing confusion as to what to do on that puzzle.
