About Zero Escape: Virtue's Last Reward
After being kidnapped by a masked figure, Sigma awakens in an elevator with a girl named Phi. They soon learn that they, along with seven others, are about to play a game of life and death—The Nonary Game: Ambidex Edition. Each participant is equipped with a bracelet that will kill them if they break the rules. Controlled by a mysterious rabbit named Zero III, the Nonary Game will force its players to decide who to trust and who to betray. If they can solve a series of fiendishly difficult puzzles, then perhaps they can uncover the mystery behind Zero III. Sigma will need all his wits to survive and escape alive, but who can he trust and who must he betray?
Immersive & Suspenseful Story in Novel Stages – Learn why Sigma and the others were taken and the mystery that surrounds the masked figure, Zero, and his avatar Zero III. Choose to “ally” or “betray” the others and watch your fate change with every decision.
Challenging Escape Stages with 3D Environments – Challenge your mind skills with everything from colors relationships, math, and more in order to escape rooms and gain points as you edge closer to freedom. Rotate the camera around a 3D room and zoom in on objects to look for clues. Players can also select and manipulate objects in three-dimensional space.
Fully-Voiced Novel Sections & Dual Language Support –With dual language support, choose between listening to the novel stages in Japanese or English!
