Nice one

Just had a sneak peak and can see I'm right at the end of Chapter 2 which I suspected considering the elevation of events.

If "Achievements" are trophies then I've missed a shit load already...

Huh, just had a quick peek and seen that if you ignore Mayuri's call (which I accidentally did, but immediately reloaded), you miss out on the Faris Cup. Glad I didn't miss that.

I didn't even realise that you could ignore the calls to be honest! So are these the "choices" I guess then that influence the outcome? I thought they'd be more black and white...

Neither did I, I only realised when it stopped ringing! Luckily I'd just quicksaved, which I would advise doing at regular intervals. Thankfully it's all very quick and painless.

Yeah, I hadn't even looked at that flowchart since I found it as I didn't want to chance any spoilers, but it does all seem very subtle.

I really should quicksave more, by more I mean "at all" because at the moment I'm going on hour long intervals without any saving, oops.

Think I'll do a couple of playthroughs, one just playing naturally and then one after to get the trophies using the flowchart

Yeah, I've decided to just play through it blind and then see what happens. I got into the habit of saving a bit more regularly after sending a couple of mean texts that I couldn't back out of

I ended up having to re-do a couple of bits.

Think I'll go play some now, was out last night and hungover at work so feel like I deserve a break.

I got carried away playing it in bed last night and now feel completely fucked after just a few hours' sleep

Totally worth it.

Annoyingly my Vita has died AGAIN so can't play until later. Think the battery must be fucked

Arghhh I need this. I loved the anime series when it came out, and I know exactly where the plot will go, but unless I can hear Tutturuu! and play around with some Green, sludgy bananas (did I need to spoiler this?

) I wont be happy.

Also, I set this as my text message tone just two days ago and I already need new friends.

Been playing this for about an hour (finished the prologue and on to the game proper

Not a fookin' clue what's going on, but liking it so far

@Flying_Pig

Good man! You may have noticed I "liked" the status of you playing it for the first time the other day

I pressed X approximately ten times earlier and finished chapter 2 so was right at the end! The story now is really ramping up, before it was very entertaining and intriguing, now it's still very entertaining but VERY intriguing! Really like what they're doing with it and the inspiration they've taken for it.

Into Chapter 4 now, it's all kicking off!

Love how unapologetic they are about ripping off the names of brands, we've all seen him drink copious amounts of DrP but there is a certain internet site and coffee chain that are so blatant that I really did laugh out loud

I had to laugh at one point when I saw a bottle of Okabe's favourite beverage and it said "Dr. People" on it.

I played this for about half an hour last night when I got in, but I was moderately sauced and half asleep, so it wasn't the best idea. I can only vaguely remember what happened.

Chapter 4 is pretty chunky, managed to get through it in one day though and now an hour or so into Chapter 5.

My gametime is apparently approaching 16 hours, I'm not sure if that's right though...thinking I may have fallen asleep and left it on for a good few hours at some point.

I'm still on chapter 3 and have about 12 hours on the clock, so it's probably right.

Haha bloody hell, surprising amount of time I've put in then. I would say that at one point I saved it after thinking I'd played for half an hour and it was actually closing in on an hour and a half. Time flies

Yeah, I've had a few times when I've decided to play it for half an hour in bed and then ended up sitting there 'til 3am with bleary eyes.

Haha

It's a great story though, really intriguing. Just as it settles into a long conversation and you get used to that pace, it throws something into the mix that makes you think "Faaaaaark!" so can absolutely understand why we seem to play it for those kind of spells!

Finished Chapter 1 this morning (I only started Friday, and barely played over the weekend!) - great story, but pretty bonkers and confusing at times...

Loving this!

Just finished chapter 3. This is brilliant.

Oh bollocks, look at the time.

I really want to get in on the party, but mine still hasn't arrived from shopto. :-(

I thought it'd be quicker than that!

@Ror Hahaha bloody hell, good effort!

Didn't get much in last night but at a guess I'm halfway through chapter 5 after 17 hours or so, epic stuff. Think today should be quiet at work so might just sit here and play later on for ages.

You can tell when a game has it's hooks in you when I'm going home and playing this instead of The Witcher 3, which is an incredible game of course.
