Re: PS5 Games Are Still Selling Poorly at Retail in Japan

Let's not forget, we're in the middle of a pandemic. Japan doesn't have a great vaccination rate, so the way people are protecting themselves is isolation - they're clamouring for the Olympics to be cancelled. Who's going to go to retail outlets? Would you want to get deliveries, even?

@dark_knightmare2 Funny, I thought Memento was overly-complicated and a tad pretentious, too.

In that case, though, there was at least one major gimmick. Here there were a bunch of small gimmicks and some characters who do truly irrational things. In one case you could say "they're just a kid" and technically they don't force anyone to try to fix their issues, but they keep acting out and trigger many bad results.

Later on we seem to be meant to see them as innocent, even a force for good. But they've got a long way to go to redeem their past actions. In fact, by the end of the story, it's hard to feel positively about almost any of the characters.
