So...decided to go through Door 5, then Door 8 for my 4th playthrough.
This is where the fun begins.
Both Lotus and Clover get much more detailed dialogue that I never saw before thanks to doing Door 4 first like some kind of idiot. Door 5 is definitely the way to go with this, especially considering the 'red herring safe', we'll get back to that. Anyway, Lotus blabs about even more mind telepathy crap like I wasn't already wavering around The Matrix theory already.
Clover however, has
very very important information about our friend Snake (who should have his guts thrown about in the shower room already) in that Snake was in a car accident when he was younger and that was why he went blind.
He also had to have his left arm amputated. The left arm he has right now is a prosthetic. I already mentioned this in my previous spoiler but the 'Snake' in the shower room HAS A REAL BROKEN LEFT ARM which is very mysterious indeed. Junpei doesn't draw any conclusion to that right now.
After solving the uh Laboratory Room I think everything proceeds like normal, we find Snake's corpse and then we start drawing lots for what Door to go to. I had a lot of trouble here. I chose Door 2 first, which changes a few lines but ultimately you just get the Submarine Ending again. Then I chose Door 1 next which was pretty much identical and I got the Axe Ending again. After some trepidation I decided I would try Door 6 and do those puzzles all over again argh.
I'm so glad I did.
Right off the bat in the Steam Engine Room Santa's speech about his sister is much longer and we get more telepathy garbage. We also learn
that Santa's Sister died nine years ago. Santa is actually a really caring Nii-san but I guess it didn't end happily. :[
And then the Warehouse Room, oh gog the Warehouse Room. Here we get the biggest bombshell in the game I have ever heard so far. Junpei collects all of the photo IDs like usual when June
suddenly collapses! Which is different. Due to the change in spacetime Junpei tells Ace to finish up with the photo ID puzzle and goes to June and Santa.
Here is when everything starts to spiral out of control.
Santa just nonchalantly states that Ace is the CEO of Cradle Pharmaceutical. In other words, a big bad villain type of guy. Fuuuuuuuuck. Well thanks for this random piece of information Santa! Although I'm glad my theories are falling into place.
The reason behind this is pretty simple. It's because I went in Door 5 first. Lotus and Clover talked to me because I went in Door 5. Now Santa is dropping this information on me because he eavesdropped on Ace when they were in Door 4.
Junpei walks back to Ace and sees him struggling deeply with the photo ID 'puzzle' if you can even call it that. The reason is pretty obvious, even Lotus went over it.
Ace has prosopagnosia. Which sounds like something straight out of Detective Conan but it's basically he can't remember people by their faces at all and goes by other things like voices and clothes and hair. After getting depressed and walking off Junpei finishes it up and solves that fucking box puzzle and the four of them open to coffin to get the Uranus Keycard and
Junpei leaves the golden revolver like usually yaddhayaddha they leave the Warehouse Room.
Now.
My very first playthrough I did Door 4, Door 8, and then Door 6 and it was really cut short. Character's dialogue was shorter and it's weird how that works but whatever.
We come back to find Seven and Lotus, Clover goes missing just like she usually does. In the Knife Ending, which I got my first playthrough, you split up with June and head to the E deck, only to find a dead Lotus and a dead Junpei.
But
instead
Junpei and June decide to head to the Shower Room to see if Clover is hiding where her dead brother is.
This is radically different. My guess is that because I went through Door 5 first I was able to bond more with Clover and also just get lucky with pieces of information. In either case,
Junpei finally realizes what I've been pulling my hair out forever about. Junpei realizes THAT'S NOT THE REAL SNAKE.Dun dun dun
It's pretty amazing. Next Junpei will actually see if the Ninth Man's bracelet is gone or someth---
HOLY SHIT THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT JUNPEI DOES.Let me back up a bit, after June and Junpei leave the Shower Room Seven runs up to them pale and asks "Where the hell where you guys?!" and brings us to the First Class Room, otherwise known as the Door 5 room. Everybody is there already and Seven leads us to the bathroom there only to find...a dead Clover.
Junpei immediately goes into the Door 5 hallway to check the Ninth Man's corpse, throws up, and then
notices the Nine Bracelet is missing. Everything is falling into place. Seven and Junpei do some investigating and
decipher Clover's riddle which gives them to code to OPEN THE SAFE THAT COULD NEVER BE OPENED.
Inside was a single piece of paper with a few facts listed.
The gist is, Snake was in the previous Nonary Game nine years ago. This is getting weird...
Junpei gathers everybody in the First Class Room and tells them to head to the large Hospital Room, he finally understand what's going on here. Or at least, he knows who the culprit is. At a boy Junpei.
Now this is pretty awesome. I admit it started kind of weird and sudden but now Junpei is finally in the ballgame. No more getting fucking backstabbed. Time to confront culprit-san for the scum he really is.
And that is exactly what he does.
YOU ARE THE KILLER, ACE!!!Junpei is an amazing Prosecutor. He tricks up Ace so much Ace shouldn't even be able to tell left from right.
I AM SANTAHe even makes Ace realize that the Snake he killed was an impostor that Junpei dubs 'Guy X'.
Personally I don't believe Ace is Zero now.
Snake could very possibly be Zero somehow! It's freakin' confusing. Not really sure where the hell 'Guy X' came from. It's weird. He also killed Clover to keep her mouth shut, bastard. He most definitely killed Junpei and Lotus in the Knife Ending.
He even killed the Ninth Man, yes. Ace killed the Ninth Man because Bird Nest recognized Ace so Ace told him to go into Door 5 by himself as a very cruel lie. Ace was the one to set up the first Nonary Game I believe.
...Anyway after all that stuff, Ace breaks down.It's fucking creepy.After some fitting words he reveals
he has the Nine Bracelet (perfect bracelet for murder) and then
takes Lotus hostage with the golden revolver. Good job Junpei. He flees and heads to the 9 doors with Lotus. 1+9+8=18 1+8=9
June starts going into heat again so Santa watches her while Junpei and Seven run out of the hospital room to hunt down Ace (hell yeah). By the time we get there it's too late though and one of the 9 doors is already occupied. :[
We hear the coffin banging so we put that safe code in and.....................

And I stopped there. Let's see what happens tomorrow! Aren't Winter Breaks great?
