I'm starting to hate the whole "protag presented threadbare evidence and yelled a lot and now The Villain is confessing to every single detail of the entire crime for 20 min" trope. Is it a trope? I don't know but it keeps. happening. in mystery games/books/movies. i'm bored.

Parascientific Escape: Cruise in the Distant Seas has a very predictable story: already from the beginning, you can figure out who is behind the events happening on the ship. The screenplay is composed of juvenile and funny situations between the characters while they have to escape the sinking ship. Furthermore, the finale is too naive and incomplete, as nothing is revealed about Hitomi's sister. Considering the gameplay, I mostly appreciated the psychic power mechanics, although the puzzles were too easy. I encountered an equal level of difficulty solving the other puzzles in the game. All in all, an okay game, but nothing that I will remember for a long time.

Parascientific Escape plays a bit like a novice-level 999: sinking ship, psychic research, etc. But unlike 999, there are no branching paths to the story. It's diverting but not overly ambitious. If you're a fan of room escape games, grab it the next time the 3DS eStore has a sale.
