I have to admit this story looks great. I love the Zero Escape series, so seeing a story based on that will be fun. I wonder if you have as epic plot twists in store as the games did, or if you have two sequels planned based on the other games?

Unfortunately, I don’t think I can contribute to Patreon, which means I most likely won’t get to see the bonus content. But if I ever can pay for it I hope it will still be there. In the mean time I will be track this story.

You’re a fan of Zero Escape too huh? Nice.

I will only say this much; The Patreon content will not go anywhere.

I'm more of a Danganronpa guy, but I'll give this a shot. Besides, I'm curious how these OCs are gonna turn out.

Well this is interesting so far. I see a few rules that were secret until much later are traveled right away here. Some of the new rules are interesting, like the "assist" feature. It seems some of these puzzles are a lot more dangerous than the ones seen in some of the games. I know that the Nonary Game has always been a dangerous and deadly game, but the puzzles for the most part were tame and would only be dangerous if left unchecked, with only a few exceptions like the incinerator and I guess nearly every decision in Zero Time Dilemma. But so far in this story they have dealt with bombs and a ceiling lowering on them. Now it really feels like the game is trying to kill them besides just worrying about the time limit.

Interesting things so far. I thought the TV thing was a meta joke at first, but it seems much bigger than that. If they did lose their memories then I wonder how long has it been, especially if they look the same to each other? I don’t trust Cozy Glow, might be obvious but I honestly would not be surprised if she turns out to be the Big Bad of the story.

Wow, that ending was pretty shocking. I really hope Smolder and Rain are okay, but given the series this is based on I would not be surprised if they weren’t. Gallus is really surprising me with how smart he is here. I don’t normally picture him being the smart guy of the group, but maybe he got smarter sometime in the future, though it is still a bit unclear how much of their memories they forgot and thus how long it has been.

I guess he just wants to see Ocellus that badly. I wish they would just kiss already.

I agree with Silver there, and actually wish the same thing for her and Gallus too.

Dark ending. Every game with multiple endings has at least one. I think I know what is happening but am staying quiet at your request. Lets see what happens next.

Well this was an interesting chapter. I wonder where the talk about gods will lead to eventually? It might make sense if they were using god names as codenames but it is already clear they aren’t using codenames at all. I did like the ship teasing again though. Now I am also curious about Queen Novo’s crush, even if Silverstream will probably never reveal it.

It's supposed to be Celestia. When Sandbar suggests her, Silver admits to it (albeit not in the clearest of ways, in hindsight), figuring she should "get it over with", only for Bramble to suggest Luna, causing Silver to come up with a plan to accept all suggestions until they drop the subject.

Oh, okay. Thank you for explaining. Really enjoying the story so far.

I'm a little confused about the structure of this chapter. So Silver ahs a panic attack because she's basically resurrected after getting blown up, and then...starts talking about Roman gods for some reason? I don't see the connection there.

Rain suggested to Silver to talk about her gods (which is based on the Roman Pantheon) to calm her down. This is a bit of a callback, as Silver did something similar in chapter 4, where she talked about the legend of how bees got their stingers from Jupiter. As for how Rain knew that would help Silver calm down, well that's anyone's guess.

An important thing to know about panic attacks is that the person panicking doesn't always have the best awareness of what's happening around them, and sometimes they calm down for reasons others might not get. If you haven't ever had a panic attack before, it might not make sense. Really, Silver only calmed down because a few of the creatures there knew how to handle a panic attack.

Seems maybe Smolder still has memories of the first time through. That is interesting.

My guess is that it’s because of the morphogenetic field.

Nice explanation on the difference between knowledge and memory and a quick explanation of the Morphogenetic Field. Hope Gallus can explain everything to the others so they won’t be too bad at Silver.

Well, that was an interesting turn. Normally I might enjoy Cozy getting her comeuppance, but that was pretty intense, and Sandbar!s sudden attitude didn’t help him. Now this killer obviously can’t be Cozy, so who is it? This is getting more and more mysterious.

Wow, tensions are getting high. Things might reset with each loop but memories and feelings lingering are starting to divide everyone.

Oh my god! Poor Ocellus. Silverstream is clearly heartbroken over this, but I wonder how Sandbar is handling it.

Wow, Silverstream really suffered through this loop. So many of her friends died, and we learned about her uncle. No wonder she was so scared of the Storm King, she lost a family member when he invaded. That last entry in Rain’s diary was surprising too.

This was definitely a surprise. Maybe some day I will contribute to your Patreon so I can read the rest.

This is very interesting. I get the feeling this might hold some foreshadowing for developments in the future, but there have also been a lot of Red Herrings in the Zero Escape series so those could be in effect too.

Seems like Hector wasn’t doing so well at school. Wonder what happened to him?

Well it was nice to see Hector was starting to be accepted, but Cozy has to make everything suspicious again.

Seems like one argument just keeps coming up after another. Cute that Rain and Smolder got together despite Rain’s crush on Silver. I really hope that Zero isn’t Sandbar or Silver somehow but I guess nothing is impossible.

Gallus scratches his head. "And it's not like they're trying to save a past version of himself or anything."

I see what you did there, well played.

Bit of a calm chapter here, which can only mean things are going to get intense really soon. I liked Smolder’s story of how she and Rain became a couple. Smolder is already a good friend so I guess she’s good at being romantic in her own way too.

Hehehe. The best part of writing all of this is that I can slip foreshadowing in with red herrings, and you won't know which is which. It could be the heavy-handed not so subtle hints, or it could be the things you didn't even notice.

You won't know until it comes to pass.

Yep, I noticed that with the Zero Escape series. I can tell you are having fun with it. Bet once everything is finish it will add some rereading bonuses since everything will be easier to understand.

It's split up into timelines, with each timeline so far being about three or four chapters long. Basically, when a chapter starts with "Hour One," that's the start of a new timeline. Missing hours are defined by either Silver being unconscious, or nothing of note actually happening.

Another cliffhanger. Hope Ocellus makes the right decision.

That door is cursed or something. I have to admit, I never thought I’d see Ocellus go off the deep end like that, but I guess losing the one you love can do that to you.

Mother of God, Ocellus has snapped! Out of all of them I never would have expected her to be the one to go off the deep end. Maybe the stress of the situation got to her and maybe I can respect she wants to ensure she and Sandbar make it out alive, but this is not the right way.

She’s acting like this is Danganronpa or The Decision Game from Zero Time Dilemma. I hope Silverstream and the others can get through to her. Maybe if all else fails they can get Sandbar to help talk her down?

Well at least Ocellus is calmed down, and she’s with Sandbar as a bonus.

Good luck getting your life together. Don’t rush anything, real life is more important than stories.
