!Warning! This game has a nasty save corruption bug on 3DS.

I just hit this after 20 hours, quite frustrating. People say it only happens when you save in Puzzle rooms. This is not true. For me it happened when I saved at the end of a scenario and then the game crashed in a puzzle room. So a save prompt at the end of a scenario killed my playthrough ._.

So either don't play this on 3DS or diligently back up your save games with homebrew tooling!

Having a lot of fun with this game, but I managed to run into a soft lock in the Crew Quarters puzzle which disabled all my menu options so I couldn't use items, check archive, save, or anything. Had to reset and lose my progress, which thankfully wasn't too far back on this route, but still disappointing.

Quite possibly my favorite visual novel/adventure game of all time. The story somehow even tops 999 and the gameplay improvements such as the flow chart make it a joy to play. This is a series I can't stop recommending to anyone and will be revisiting for years to come.
