Zero Escape: Virtue's Last Reward
Overview
The second game in the Zero Escape series.
Zero Escape: Virtue's Last Reward is a mystery/thriller visual novel. It is story focused with multiple endings that use player choices and puzzle rooms to progress.

The in-game calculator has been removed.

Zero Escape: Virtue's Last Reward (2012) - Secrets and Tips
• This game has no traditional cheat codes, but it does feature well-known unlockables and secrets.
• Flow Chart: from the start you can access the Flow Chart from the pause menu, letting you jump to any unlocked node to change decisions and reach other endings without replaying whole chapters.
• There is no single correct route order: you are meant to jump between paths via the Flow Chart; some endings only make sense after completing others, and certain good endings require seeing bad endings first.
• The true ending is only unlocked after completing all (or nearly all) routes in the Flow Chart and obtaining the nine passwords for Phi's and Sigma's bracelets across the routes.
• Hidden passwords: each route reveals password fragments (bracelet numbers) that are saved automatically; once all nine digits are collected, the final content unlocks.
• Talk to everyone in every room: conversing with each character in different rooms unlocks character files and bonus trophies/achievements.
• Examine items twice: during investigations you can inspect objects a second time to get alternate descriptions needed for some puzzles and secret files.
• Pro tip: if you get stuck on a puzzle, you can choose the auto-solve option after some time, with no penalty, to continue the story.
