Is it still worth playing?

Nine people in three teams wake in a shelter in the Nevada desert in 2028, at the ground zero of the Radical-6 outbreak, and a masked figure called Zero makes them play the Decision Game. It is an adventure for the 3DS, Vita and PC from June 2016, with a PlayStation 4 version in 2017. It is the third and last Zero Escape, directed by Kotaro Uchikoshi, and it nearly did not exist: development stopped in 2014 on poor Japanese sales, and in 2015 it was back on. The story comes as fragments, chosen from a picture and a vague line and played out of order, since the characters lose their memory every ninety minutes, and each fragment mixes a story and an escape room, told in animated scenes where the earlier games were visual novels. The fragments are still a mystery whose order you choose, about people who have lost theirs.
