Best Nintendo 3DS Games – #11 Zero Escape: Virtue’s Last Reward

Developer: Chunsoft

Release Date: October 23, 2013

Synopsis: You, Sigma, have been kidnapped. So have eight other people, who are now trapped and forced to play something called the Nonary Game with you in order to escape. Each character has a bracelet that displays a point value. Nine points will earn freedom, but you can only gain points by allying with or betraying others around you. Can you make the decisions necessary and solve the escape room-like puzzles to win your freedom from Zero and the Nonary Game?

Why It’s One Of The Best Nintendo Games: The sequel to Nine Hours, Nine Persons, Nine Doors tones down the spook elements to welcome in a wider audience, resulting in an incredible accessible and unique 3DS title. Zero Escape: Virtue’s Last Reward creatively blends escape room puzzling with visual novel sequences and choice making for a suspenseful, dramatic plot that may not always be the same from playthrough to playthrough. Zero Escape: Virtue’s Last Reward may have flown under the radar for many, but it’s worthy of far more attention than it gets on the 3DS.
