However, the "Ambidex Edition" has a twist: to escape the warehouse, the nine players must accumulate points by splitting into teams of three (further divided into two sub- teams, a duo and a single) and completing deadly challenges. Nine points will grant a player their freedom, but losing all their points will reward a player with death. Reminiscent of the Prisoner's Dilemma, a sub- team can choose to betray their partnered sub- team in order to steal points from them, but if both sub- teams choose "Betray" then neither gain anything.

After a viral marketing campaign involving a website made by English localization company Aksys Games, Zero Time Dilemma was officially announced at Anime Expo 2. Summer 2. 01. 6 release. Be warned that like 9. Abandoned Warehouse: Where the game takes place this time around. A- Cup Angst: Phi tells Sigma she is a C cup. Sigma replies "If you're a C cup then I'm packing twelve inches!"Addressing the Player: In the "Another Time" epilogue, several characters talk with an unknown conciousness that Word of Godconfirmed in a roundabout way is the player. Adult Fear: Quark, a boy ten or so years old, tries to kill himself in practically every timeline thanks to the mind- altering disease Radical- 6, a scene many players find difficult to watch.
In a flashback, Quark and Tenmyouji once got into a fight causing the former to run away. Tenmyouji went to search for him and nearly got himself killed due to a fever; had he died, Quark would become an orphan again.
Aerith and Bob: The cast includes characters with Awesome Mc. Cool Names like Sigma, Phi, Quark, Tenmyouji and K whose real name is Kyle, which isn't an Awesome Mc. Cool Name.. but also Alice, Luna, and Dio. And unlike the last game, most of the players are not using fake/code names. After the End: The game takes place several decades after the Radical- 6 plague outbreak and a subsequent world- ending explosions on Earth, which is implied to now be a post- apocalyptic wasteland.
All Love Is Unrequited: Akane and Junpei never wind up together even after being reunited after decades. Their love is canon, though, as stated from K and also from the Q& A) Though he never returned her feelings, Luna is also hopelessly in love with Sigma. Luna's login password for the Director's Office is even I LOVE KLIM spelled backwards. Already Done for You: While the player is controlling Sigma, there are usually at least two other teams off solving puzzles and investigating rooms.
In the path to the Golden Ending, Sigma also goes back in time to input the password to the elevator safe so his past self can escape earlier than usual. Phi will actually berate you if you try to do the puzzle again. Alternate Universe: Some of the characters suggest time travel works on a "many- worlds" system, meaning the routes in which characters died or went crazy still exist, and even if Dr. Klim stops the Radical- 6 incident, the players of this game will still be stuck in their current Bad Future. Altum Videtur: Several Latin phrases make appearances in the game: Phi's brooch says Elapsam semel occasionem non ipse potest Iuppiter reprehendere (Not even Jupiter can reclaim a lost opportunity.) Also spoken by Phi: "Acta est fabula, plaudite!" (The play has ended, applaud!) On the tombstone in the garden: Tu fui, ego eris. What you are, I was; what I am, you will be.) An English variation is also found in the security room's computer: "I was you; you will be me."Memento mori (Remember death) is part of the message on the wall of the Floor B warehouse.
The journal found in the Laboratory is entirely written in Latin. Most of the characters can't read it, but Phi is able to translate one important passage.
Always Close: For some reason, Sigma almost always feels he needs to wait until the last second to input his AB Game vote. Sigma eventually exploits this to realize other characters are inexplicably changing their cooperate/betray decisions depending entirely on what he chose. Anti- Frustration Features: Since the game has multiple endings based on past choices, you're going to want to revisit those previously played portions of the game to see them all.
The "Flow" chart allows you to instantly jump to any previously played pivotal point in the game, such as when choosing "Ally" or "Betray" in an AB Game. Jumping back to past moments also means having to go through several minutes of dialogue again, but the game alleviates the tediousness by giving the player two extra dialogue options: AUTO which plays dialogue at normal speeds and keeps going without player input. And SKIP which blazes through the dialogue at lightning speeds, turning 2.
A bonus for the SKIP option; it only skips previously played dialogue depending on the situation. For example: Depending on if someone was betrayed or allied, their subsequent dialogue will change, but much of the in between dialogue from other characters is the same no matter what. So the SKIP option will only blaze through the "generic" dialogue and return to normal speed at the "new" dialogue. Antimatter: Antimatter rockets figure in the Mars mission backstory, and the world was devastated after 1. The bombs Dio plants also use antimatter charges. Arc Number: Like in the first game, the numbers 3 and 9 are all over the place. There are various 9s in the game's rules There are nine images of a lion eating the sun.
Arc Welding: The in- game secret files reveal that Gentarou Hongou, aka Ace, was a member of Free the Soul, and that Cradle Pharmaceutical and his experiments with the morphogenetic field were funded by the cult. The symbol on the robes Snake was forced to wear in 9. Free the Soul's coat of arms. Arc Words: "Memento mori, If the nineth (sic) lion ate the sun." It's instructions for Sigma to use the ID and password he gained from K and Luna's deaths in previous timelines when he sees the ninth image of "a lion eating the sun" in order to gain access to the Director's office. Actually the ninth image would be the computer in the Q room, where you had to use the ID and password from a card off Akane's body. So specifically the death here would be hers. The phrase itself is also an anagram of the true arc phrase - "The man on the moon rules the infinite time." "Tu fui, ego eris." ("I was you, you will be me.") A message from Zero Sr.
Sigma, hinting at his true identity. Artificial Human: The real K is a clone of Sigma. Dio is a fourth generation clone of Left, the dead sibling of the enigmatic leader of Free the Soul. Luna is a GAULEM, essentially an android. Art Shift: The first part of the "END or BEGINNING" epilogue uses the same art style from 9. It's also used during Tenmyouji's despair over Akane's transmission ending, foreshadowing who he truly is. Author Appeal: The secret files in the Crew Quarters imply that Sigma's obsession with swimsuits is derived from the story's author.
There are also a few promotional images for the game of Phi◊, Clover◊, and Luna◊ in swimsuits. Bad Future: A massive portion of the human race died and Earth was plunged into nuclear winter following the outbreak of Radical- 6 and the destruction of the world's eighteen anti- matter power generators on April 1. Be Careful What You Wish For: A very excited Sigma exclaims loudly how he wishes to have a fourth antimatter bomb to deactivate just to fuel his adrenaline. A deadpan Phi tells him that he will get his wish.
Behind the Black: Occurs in the PEC room puzzle. There's a binder beneath one of the machines that's necessary for escaping the vacuum chamber, that is perfectly visible to anyone willing to bend down and look. Unfortunately, the camera doesn't allow this, so the only way to acquire is to first get trapped in the vacuum chamber, at which point your perspective is far enough away to see it even with the limited camera angle. Berserk Button: Every other character will turn on you if you Betray anyone to obtain 9 points outside of one specific ending or appear to be a sleeper agent for Zero. Big Bad Friend: One of the 9 players is the mastermind behind the AB game, the true Zero III. It turns out that while it is technically Sigma, it's a future version of him, whose body the consciousness of the present day Sigma was inhabiting.
Big Bad Wannabe: Dio is easily caught off guard and tricked in many of the routes, despite being a terrorist member of Free the Soul there to kill you all.
