Uchikoshi's mind is very interesting. Cool character designs forced into an awkward anime comedy/mystery novel that tries desperately to be serious at times and fails. Turn your brain off and pretend you're watching a late night cartoon show. Don't play the sequel.
This is where I should've given up on Uchikoshi. After many years, he ended the Zero Escape series in such a disappointing and confusing fashion. At least the memes and threads on /v/ were hilarious.
