lonelyExit/Corners: So, a few months ago, I mentioned watching a Let's Play of Virtue's Last Reward, a horror visual novel/puzzle game. The main reason I didn't play VLR is that I am not very good at solving puzzles. But I really enjoyed that game's story, and when similar games came up in conversation with a friend, I was recommended Exit/Corners. This game has a similar set-up to the Zero Escape games, including (to my initial frustration) puzzles. At first, I wasn't sure if it would live up to the Zero Escape inspiration. Or if my brain could withstand the puzzle stress. But by the time I got to the end and saw the way everything came together, I realized how much I had enjoyed the game. The story felt surprisingly personal to me in parts of the ending I received, and I appreciated all the subtle foreshadowing details (even if I missed most of the actual clues while playing). I continued thinking about the story over a week after finishing the game, and I actually started playing again to absorb the foreshadowing more closely and raise my standings with some of the characters to see how that changes the story. If you like Zero Escape, Danganronpa, or any other horror/thriller visual novels, please consider giving this one a try. It's a free browser game! (Play it here!)
