PSA: Zero Escape: Virtue's Last Reward demo available now on the PSN Store

Good People Die was a much better title, though.

With all that's happening on the PSN Store right now, one little demo threatens to be lost amongst the HD remasters and day 1 digital versions of retail game releases. Zero Escape: Virtue's Last Reward's demo is now available to those who want a taste of the upcoming visual novel adventure game.

As a sequel to 999: 9 hours, 9 persons, 9 doors, Virtue's Last Reward plays basically the same way. The demo is broken into two parts: the Novel phase and the Escape phase. The novel phase is all about story, with mostly-voiced characters interacting with each other and driving the plot forward. (Curiously, your lead character only speaks with on-screen text.) In the escape phase, you must solve various puzzles, which often lead to more puzzles, which eventually lead to an item or password necessary to unlock a door and escape whatever area you're on. (That sounds like more than zero escaping, guys.)

Zero Escape: Virtue's Last Reward launches on PS Vita and 3DS October 23rd.
