I like the Zero Escape games. Sure, their thematics are poorly explored - if at all, their characters are painfully one-dimensional, and graphically it's nothing to write home about. Still, there's an addictive "Who's done it?" quality to the series that always kept me engaged. This ONA, made for promotional purposes, aims to spark interest in VLR without spoiling its overall narrative. Sadly, it is difficult to say for whom this ONA is meant. Those who have already played the game, will not find any new content. Others will be introduced to a handful of names and faces but with little understanding of their importance.The game's rules are explained but feel arbitrary when not seen in action, and the consequences of losing fall flat due to a lack of reliability with the cast or an understanding of its interwovenness.

In short: it fails to intrigue, inform, or entertain. If anything, it confuses.
It won't hurt you to sit through its 12 minutes though.
