*This article is based on the PS4 version review
The background of the game is set in "Alice Paradise", Alice is a non-human creature that controls this paradise, outside the paradise is a man-eating monster, 12 protagonists in the park to hold a life-and-death banishment election, the reason for this is that the male protagonist's sister was killed by the monster, the other 9 people were indifferent, so the male protagonist decided to avenge his sister and kill them one by one through the election.
The prologue is probably a statement of such a worldview, which is somewhat similar to the now well-known cannibalism game "Projectile" series, but when actually played, it is found that it is not at all like it, and the long-term dialogue with words and dialogues is flat, which does not reflect the mood of joy and sorrow, life and death, and cannibalism.
Elections are held every three days, where candidates debate their designated opponents, and at the end of the election, those with fewer supporters are banished. As long as alice declares the will, no matter who it is, can become a candidate, according to the plot setting, the male protagonist will always appear as a candidate, Alice will announce to the opponents and all supporters, except for the male protagonist, the candidates and supporters do not know who is who, all in the form of anonymous speech, that is to say, the so-called interpersonal relationship and personality to understand what is meaningless, as long as the debate to win the mouth cannon can kill each other, and the moment the election ends will be erased memory, in addition to the male protagonist knows that they existed Others act as if nothing happened, so that a plot trend similar to the Rampage and the Great Unity did not take place.
Due to the existence of such a setting, the correlation between the plot characters is very low, and the male protagonist also has the superpower to see through lies, just like opening the hanging.
Time outside the election to move around, with the character development plot, according to different killing order multi-week when there will be different plots, but these plots can not affect the debate, pure when the novel to see, I have been more than a week of platinum, personally feel that the level of the plot is low.
As for the topic of debate, it is also unclear. For example, whether it supports immortality, whether it supports the erasure of memory, the choice of topics has nothing to do with the usual collection of information and intelligence, there is no need to collect clues, no reasoning, just around the meaningless theme of the mouth cannon, the whole debate and the plot itself is like forced to associate.
The so-called death election has no sense of urgency, and the two sides look at the remarks one by one, because the topic is very philosophical and cannot be simply explained, and it is too shallow to try to divide the victory and defeat through a debate. The text interface looks very cluttered, with no more than 4 options, and the penalty for losing a debate only starts with the selection of the previous debate, so you can quickly pass the level through trial and error... After the debate was won, the death penalty for the losers also made my heart fluctuate, it was not like a projectile to a stimulating CG animation, but a young to broadcast, with the narration lines of the story before the bed, feeling like falling asleep.
The choice of background music is too high-profile, mostly lighthearted piano pieces, which are far from the theme of revenge, and the tension is not felt at all. Chinese localization allows players who have no Japanese foundation to understand the plot, but it is limited to the theme itself is too boring, the translated text is serious, the amount of interface text during debate is too large, there is no special effect font, and it looks like a full-page textbook text.
In the end, I think the trophy setting of this work is the only highlight, there is only one bronze cup, after two weeks of watching the debate plot, the usual dialogue can be quickly released, there is no collection cup, so it is an authentic platinum god work, 10 hours or even less, belongs to the grade of platinum while watching animated movies.
This game is a game included in the process of Chinese in Japan, as a game its gameplay is 0, can only be seen as a text novel, unfortunately the script may only be 3/10 of the level. There is not much sense of existence in the human setting, the plot is only around the protagonist, the male protagonist's inner monologue is so much that it overwhelms the character's personal charm, the shaping is very unsuccessful, and all that can be seen is the role modeling.
