That's what i realized when trying the demo. I wish they would have kept the characters names as english names. Because the way they say the names just sounds wrong. Oh and anyone know if the full version is fully voiced? In the demo only the first few lines a character spoke were voiced.

It always makes me cringe when people do this. Is your imagination, or the scope of media you enjoy so small you can only think in terms of Japanese names?

Write about what you know, don't try to emulate a culture you have never experienced and know almost nothing about.

Can someone explain to me why people do this? I just don't understand.

Awesome news. What does all the other text say?

I suppose he wasn't content with having made the same game five or six times already and thus had to make it again

He likes to write games about people being trapped I suppose. Where will the characters be trapped this time? Time will tell. :V

Well, it's going to have to beat out his compatriot's 999, because I think that's the highest level of quality between the duo since Ever17.
