TRIAL 2

Murder victim

…darnit no I was really interested in this one too. ):

Trial Start

I got stuck a few times, and dorked around until I magicked myself towards the right direction. For a while I was scared the killer was my increasingly new favorite shooting star in this dang game, and I was like ‘please oh please oh please don’t let it be them’

But- ye the killer ended up being someone I was very meh about? Yeah.

THE PUNISHMENT

DAMN. The punishment was intense, and awesome and GENUINELY HORRIBLE.

THE AFTERWARD

Following a little bit in the footsteps of DR2, the second trial was a lot weaker then the first one. I know the second trial of DR2 took one of my growing favorite characters, and catapulted them into very-much-I-don’t-care-anymore category. But, at least at the end of DR2′s second trial, it let a character shine through and become one of my favorites, just by the killer not being around for the rest of the game.

Okay but this is about DR V3! Right right. Unlike trial 1, where the game went to great lengths to get you to care about what is going on and REALLY freakin invest you-- I felt very little about this, except some very real unhappiness over the victim. I. I just wanted to hug them okay. They didn’t deserve this. I did not expect to love them this much okay.

I know the second trial can suffer, simply by being where it is in the game, compared to all the other trials, so I hold none of this against the game itself. It wasn’t even BAD, it was just cursed because it was the second trial in the game. 

I also find myself not quiiiiite as invested in these characters as I was in DR2. I’m of course giving it time- it wasn’t until I was done with DR2 that I truly even began appreciating my favorite homeboy Gundham, so I know I just haven’t spent as much time with these characters yet. Besides. I’m already aware how these damn games work. It’s going to hurt me, and I’m going to be mad. And yet- I play anyway!

TRIAL 3

Murder victim

OK gonna keep this vague-- I found this one particularly curious! I loved the dynamic they were building up, and so I was very shocked to see the murder victim. Also, DAMN this is easily the creepiest trial so freakin far, in ALL the games. The atmosphere, the music, the entire concept in this part of the game was creepy and hecka interesting. And, ya know-- the twist half way through investigation. Like, DAMN. Also. “I lied!”

yeah you did you gremlin

Trial Start

Alright lets see where we go! The first half goes smoothly, and I’m like ‘oh yeah not surprised--’ but the second half my reaction was like this.

....what are you doing.

no.

you stop that.

you’re making me.... highly uncomfortable.

are you okay

YOU ARE NOT OKAY

what the fu

oh my god.

ahhahah WHAT?

YOU MAKE ME VERY VERY UNCOMFORTABLE.

Oh my god Monokuma please save me, please save everyone please goodness gracious

THE PUNISHMENT

Well that IS an awful way to go but- for ur case buddy I definitely would have supported a far longer more drawn out death. 

THE AFTERWARD (AKA My after thoughts in this section)

Holy fuck, man. Trial 2 dipped a little, but trial 3 was GREAT. I figured it out rather quickly, but ya know what-- in this trial that did not matter like at ALL. The emotional damage of everyone watching their friends be slowly murdered is DEFINITELY taking its toll on the characters. Also, boy howdy, the hat of ‘most insane DR character’ is gently removed from everyone’s favorite fuckboi in game 2, and shoved onto your head, murderer. Like. DAMN. Daaaaaaamn. It’s okay he’s a favorite of mine too (DR2 character). But. Yall. Someone just took his claim to fame.

ALSO I wanted to say, I found the divide going on between all the characters before this trial REALLY interesting. It wouldn’t be surprising in an EXTREMELY emotionally intense situation like this, that something like this would happen. I find that to be a really interesting concept in this game that hasn’t been implemented in any other DR game thus far. Also, the fact that you can lie is really cool. Like, REALLY COOL.

TRIAL 4

Murder victim

Color me surprised! Or- not perhaps- I had no idea who would be killed here, but this particular person was an interesting twist!

Trial Start

Okay. Welp. These characters are just- ugh. UGGGH. Everyone is just. Breaking down- they can’t handle this anymore.

And- the culprit. God. GODDDD. God.

My heart is so dang heavy. Just.

This whole scenario.....

my heart can’t take this.

Like I’m sad, but more then that I’m just. MAN I JUST FEEL SO EMPTY.

frick. I am just.... FRICK.

THE PUNISHMENT

Screw u game the end

also that-- you know. THAT PART. Like, what the hell DR you do some fucked up weird shit

THE AFTERWARD (AKA My after thoughts in this section/The actual aftermath of the trial)

Hhhhhhh.

I’m. So worried what happens next. 

I’m so dang sad and empty and its awful.
