Hey talk about the game, lol.
Or Silver Case & FSR's popularity with Japanese adv gamers.

Ryo Kazan - so that's the dipshit that gets shot repeatedly by Kusabi. I haven't really figured out yet what was he doing at the beginning of game... Ryo, I mean.
What's the purpose of all these "Sumio"? Touba, Kodai, Mondo?
So, in Japan, such games get a natural audience, while here it's a niche.But of course, the sophistication found in Suda51's adventure games doesn't really need a niche to get appreciated, it's really common sense.
NOW, having said that, kicking the preference thing out of the way, the rating makes sense to me. I'm also surprised with how Silver Case has been hanging on all these years. It must've really made quite an impression.From what I've been playing so far, I can say it's awesome, and this from a purely atmosphere/setting point of view. It also reeks of sophistication and class, the kind that wasn't really present in neither Snatcher or Policenauts, two great games with similar mechanics.

Webmaster
It's too bad that there are nearly 6 different Twilight SYndrome games out.So I have no idea which titles Mika was in.
Jan 11 08 5:37 PM
I guess that mika is in Twilight Syndrome: Search and Twilight Syndrome: Investigation, the only two of the series directer by Suda
Kitano Smith wrote:Moonlight Syndrome's gameplay is indeed horrible (I've played too little, I'm the point where Mika is at her room and can't get out otherwise her mother's on her ass), but it does look decent.
Is the creepy old man at the beginning that principal you talk about?
Now, if he improves his gamplay further and uses it in service of a great adventure game, I'll eat it up. That would be like the Holy Grail.
Are you gonna do a complete plot summary or what else?

It does have references, like the pulsating moonlight or the appearance of Ed McAllister and his reference to Garcian's briefcase, amongst a number of others but those are otherwise totally unrelated to previous games.The moon pulsating is just a fragment of Garcian's past, that represents the moment he left Emir behind at the UH rooftop.
Ed McAllister's appearance is just so that you know that something's up with Garcian. How the hell does someone from that Hotel know Garcian if it's the first time Garcian ever enters the building? (this would be the right moment for a "...NOT" joke, but it's a lame one so I won't use it.... NOT!) The Ed McAllister/briefcase reference is either directed towards the japanese audience, or/and at the very least, an inside joke amongst the GHM staff. Nothing important that I need to know.
The TV, with every persona inside means quite simply that those personas aren't even real people to begin with. It may or may not be a reference to Moonlight Syndrome, but who cares? It doesn't matter.I see all of those things as idiosyncrasies, if you will - not plot points.
because of their experience with Suda's previous games, so they will naturally pick the similarities and thus even theorize about killer7's relation with previous games even if in reality there isn't one.
As far as I know, the only thing outside the game you really need to understand to figure it out, is US<->Japan politics.

Actually I have a friend that perfectly read Japanese, but he's disappeared, it doesn't make him have been seeing online for months.
Not fair, absurd and not sincere, and the feeling is no different hatn those okami players feeling good by playing okami.
Refernce is one thing, but main plot holes are based on past games.
People who got K7 and played through all of it, didnt get story, what they paid for?
you know i invested so much thought on that tv thing, it seemd so out of place, and the tv was hallmark in sense you change character thru that, in many scene the person changes to other character, nuthing on other forums made sense untill now few days back drunke told that it was spirit chanelling device which made sense.
gamers with just K7 in their possession will be lead astray easily with numerous loopholes, since these looppholes are taking screenspace frequently.

Loose details, loopholes and all messed up just trying to make ppl feel good that they are solving mystery?specially online like drunkee?
