Did anyone else get this game? I had absolutely no idea it was comming out, and when I saw it, I called a friend who said it wasnt bad, bought it, and played it in three sittings sittings (From around 8 at night to 5 in the morning, and then from about 5 in the afternoon till 11, stopping for dinner and a movie.)
Yeah, its short, and the ending wasnt the best, but the whole story was amazing, and If you like point and click adventure games like Hotel Dusk (which I havent played) and Phoenix Wright (Which I have) you will probably like it. Its on my list of best DS games. right next to kirby super star ultra.
I do have one question about it though....
How did Irvine become Jack? That didnt make any sense to me. The way he kept talking about it, they were different people, but then he was still pissed off about the mother, and I thought that when Irvine went through the hole, he ceased to exsist once time returned to the point where he went through the hole?

Slightly off-topic:
At first, I really thought that this was an actual anime (because of that opening trailer).
Then I was curious if Konami had their own in-house anime drawing team/illustrators
Or this was perhaps an outside job (ie. J.C. Staff or Production IG)
Guess I won't know then just yet 
P.S.
However it does have the potential to become a full-fledged anime production.
The visuals are already there (now all that would be left is to create a storyline.)
And that's it (I guess)

I just wish they didn't change the names. Compare the Japanese names to the English names and you'll see why.

It's a Japanese game with a Japanese setting with characters with English names. How did they expect to get away with that?

This was made by the developers of Shadow of Destiny, another time-traveling murder mystery game. Along with Sky Odyssey, it was my favorite first gen PS2 game.

therefore for them to have the same meaning in english they had to be changed to similar puns
who cares, this happens all the time

Why would they need to add a story, they have one?
The names were kinda cheezy, but it didnt bother me. Earthbound did it too.

the japanese names were cheesy too
in the lower numbers they're less ridiculous perhaps but i don't think "junibayashi" is significantly more normal than "twelves"

| Figures
So the people responsible for stuff like Solty Rei, Special A and Seto no Hanayome are the ones who made the opener?
Wow.
No wonder why I easily fell for it.
