I want to get off Mr. Goichi's Wild Ride.

*Do not play this game unless you have completed 'The Silver Case'*
It is also recommended, but not mandatory to have completed 'Flower, Sun, and Rain' (which is in dire need to be ported!)
Heck, for good measure, you should also be familiar with Killer 7 and even Twin Peaks too, why not.

This game (yes game now) is an improvement on it's predecessor, 'The Silver Case' in that there are now puzzle-solving elements, code breaking (although most of it is simple memorization), point-and-click searching and investigation bits which will test your wit, intuition and patience.
Big emphasis on patience. Suda is a sadist. Use a guide if you must. No one will blame you for some portions.
Just be happy you aren't playing this game on a cell-phone, which was the original intent.

When your head is not wrapped around trying to find a needle in a haystack, you are most likely going to be grasping your hair trying to piece together the story. If you weren't able to fully grasp The Silver Case's story, themes and overall messages, chances are you won't with this one. Pay close attention, take notes on whos who. Also, be sure to play each chapter in the 3 storylines one at a time, in a ring-like order where you play one from each (00 Correctness -> 00 Placebo -> 01 Correctness -> 01 Matchmaker -> 01 Placebo -> 02 Correctness, and so on)

It may seem daunting with all of the aforementioned but underneath the insane storyline there are great moments to be found, great dialogue exchanges that you wouldn't find anywhere else, and a grim look at a possible future humanity may someday face. Prepare yourself for a strange story unlike any other.

Oh, and when you reach a certain point, I HIGHLY suggest you save the option "Kill XXXXXX and XXXXX simultaneously" for last. You will know when you get there.

Now be a pal and lend me 50,000 Yen, won'tcha?
