    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The Gui interface in this game is how they managed to mess up as they have a secondary window for selecting the segment you wish to play to change choice. If you played zero escape the nonary games you will understand what i mean by this. - The interface change and overall shorter length is what dragged this franchise down most likely due to production costs at least we had a kind of ending despite never really finding out how delta was able to set up such a game in the first place. Its an essential purchase for game owners but make sure to play the superior zero escape nonary games first.… Expand

    Gran cierre de la trilogía de Zero Escape, pocos juegos son dignos de tener un cierre así con una historia tan compleja.

    Incredible finale to the trilogy. I can't see what people are moaning about with this one, even after having completed them all. It has it's faults for sure, shoddy cutscene graphics and mechanics, crashes occasionally. But the story, length, atmosphere, in game-graphics and sheer effort that has gone into its production after being written off as never bound to happen, all add to theIncredible finale to the trilogy.

The final conclusion was actually very well thought out and people who are claiming that it 'doesn't tie everything up' perhaps didn't understand it due to its complexity. I can't recommend this series enough, but do yourself a favour, play the first one first!… Expand

    It's always sad, when the great franchise reaches its end, but nevertheless this game really tries to answer all questions, you accumulated after first two games, and it still holds all key items and mechanics, that I loved so much in this epic series.

    It lacks the charm and wit of Danganronpa, but Zero Time Dilemma, like its prequels, is still valuable, smart, and stimulating. Its presentation really badly hurts it, but once you push past that distaste, what you’re left with is an intense, engaging and intelligent narrative with some thoughtful and well-designed puzzle rooms to sort through.

    For the most part, Zero Time Dilemma is a challenging, fantastical ride. Its puzzles are perfectly pitched, and while it may take you a while to wrap your head around the game’s story, you’ll delight in slowly piecing together its winding narrative.

    Fans of escape rooms and puzzle-solving games that don't mind a more adult and dark tone will have a lot of fun with Zero Time Dilemma. It may have dated graphics and sound but that shouldn't stop you from playing it through to see all of its endings.
