Nine characters trapped in a facility by the mysterious Zero are forced into a game involving humanity’s survival.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIts unpredictable developments incorporate science, thought experiments, occult elements, philosophical questions and psychological warfare, earning acclaim in Japan and abroad.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eDecember 31, 2028: the Nevada desert\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is the sixth day since communal life began at the experimental facility Dcom. That morning, nine men and women wake up inside a confinement room.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUnfamiliar black bracelets—bangles—are attached to their left wrists. A masked figure appears and announces the start of the Decision Game: a game with the survival of the participants, Zero and humanity at stake.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe nine are then moved into an underground shelter and separated among three areas: C, Q and D. Which team will survive? The future of all humanity—eight billion people—rests on their decisions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eEnhanced graphics on PS4\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe PlayStation 4 edition strengthens the graphics with improved image quality and a comprehensive revision of the lighting, providing visuals with more pronounced contrast from scene to scene.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe first and second series entries, Nine Hours, Nine Persons, Nine Doors and Virtue’s Last Reward, were also released separately together as Zero Escape: The Nonary Games for PS4 and PS Vita. This made all three series games available on PS4; this listing is for Zero Time Dilemma.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eThe Decision Game\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eZero confines the nine characters in a nuclear shelter and forces them into a Decision Game with humanity’s existence at stake.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe three teams are isolated in areas they cannot travel between. Within their own area, they can act freely, but each period of activity is limited to 90 minutes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhen 90 minutes pass, the bangles inject an anesthetic and a memory-erasing drug. The participants fall into a deep sleep and forget everything that occurred during that period.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhen they next wake up, they must begin another 90 minutes of activity without knowing what happened to them or understanding their current situation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEach 90-minute period forms one story fragment. Like the characters who lose their memories after every period of activity, the player advances without knowing where the current fragment falls within the story’s overall chronology.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eThe Floating Fragment System\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eUnlike a game progressing in chronological order, the Floating Fragment System lets you choose the next story to play from multiple fragments whose positions in time are unknown.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFragments are provided for each of teams C, Q and D. Switch teams freely at any time and play the fragments in any order you wish.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEach fragment is a self-contained episode covering one 90-minute period of activity, allowing the story to be enjoyed whichever fragment you begin with.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eQuest sections\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eExplore the shelter’s different facilities and rooms, solving the puzzles placed within them. The game provides a wealth of distinctive, original challenges with satisfying difficulty even for experienced escape-game players.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhenever you give an incorrect answer, team members offer advice. This makes the game accessible to escape-game beginners and players less confident with puzzles, allowing each player to experience an appropriate level of difficulty.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eDecision sections\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs the game progresses, you face unavoidable decisions. These Decision sections arise in many situations, including Zero’s unreasonable rules, arguments with teammates and deducing the culprit behind an incident.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEach presents an ultimate choice that greatly affects the course of the game. Many cannot simply be divided into right and wrong answers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEven without knowing which choice is correct, you must still decide.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Spike Chunsoft","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67615570690413,"sku":"HT-GAME-4940261514723","price":32.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0997\/9700\/8749\/files\/hobbytiger-game-playstation-4-zero-escape-zero-time-dilemma-cover.jpg?v=1791165340","url":"https:\/\/www.hobbytiger.net\/products\/playstation-4-zero-escape-zero-time-dilemma","provider":"HobbyTiger.net","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
