Escape from Somnium
Sigma's vision is shrouded in darkness.
The room he finds himself in is barely lit, with only the glow of an old CRT monitor piercing through the darkness. Suddenly, a strange man makes his presence known.
"Who the hell are you?" asks Kaname Date.

As an Uchikoshi fan and connoiseur, this was like a love letter to me, it has everything! Zero Escape, AITSF, Punch Line, PepsiMan-, A faint reference to the infinity serie.. I loved every second of it.
The dialogues were so in-character and genuinely so funny... I really lost it with PepsiMan too-
Ngl I was kinda expecting for a character of the infinity serie to show up too, but that small dialogue of "The end of infinity" was more than enough-
At the end of the day, Zero Time Dilemma's message still stands: Snails are devil creatures.
Awww, thank you! This comment was an absolute treat to read, and I’m elated that you liked Pepsiman! I… did way more research than necessary for Pepsiman.
Genuinely impressed that someone got all of the references! I feel honored, and I agree - snails ARE the devil!
I AM LOSING IT
Glad you enjoyed!
Absolutely peak. Audible gasp from me when I realised what was going on. Well written, great execution!
I'm curious what did you folks use for doing the VN system implementation in Unity?
Thank you so much! Your comment means a lot, especially on the writing! (I was the writer!)
We used a tool called Naninovel along with Text Animator. Text animator did the text wiggling and shaking and such! I highly recommend both tools — they’re excellent!
I love this so much! It perfectly encapsulates the humor and mystery of the games. I has been added to my slowly growing list of ZE fangames
Thank you!! I’m elated you enjoyed!
Yooo, it was good than expected
