PQube Games Gives 4 Reasons Root Letter: Last Answer is Better than the Original

Root Letter: Last Answer will soon be released onto the PlayStation 4 and Nintendo Switch within Europe and to help increase awareness, and illustrate the differences between this newer envision of the classic visual novel, PQube Games and developer Kadokawa Games have provided a ‘key breakdown’ with four reasons on why this new release is better than the original.

Naturally this is not exactly news; but it is a refreshing reminder on what the game has to offer as well as the differences from the original experience.

1: Live Action:
Live action or drama-Mode will turn all scenes in the game into live-action versions, complete with real backgrounds of Shimane prefecture, reenacted and voiced by a total of 90 different actors!

2: Four New Epilogues:
Find out how the thrilling story around Aya concludes in four different endings, including a “Government Conspiracy” route and a spooky one, titled “The Cursed Letter”! These are of course available in both modes.

3: Quality of Life Enhancements:
Simplified story branches and an improved skipping function make reaching the true ending easier, while the menu now offers a clearer understanding of which routes have been completed.

4: Technical improvements:
Handling the inventory and items has been reworked, enhanced response time will make navigating through the game smoother and new trophies have been added.

As mentioned this ‘enhanced version’ of the original game will allow visual novel fans to experience the gripping investigation story with a brand new epilogue as well as gameplay improvements. That’s not all as the players will be able to experience the game in its original hand-drawn animation style or in it’s brand new live-action sequence.

Synopsis:
