Nono-ry Train? Revised [LV2&3 | Ends July 5th]

<3

Seems that waiting has paid off! XD

Exactly the same for me!

To my surprise, the English voice acting in Virtue's Last Reward is better than the Japanese, especially for Zero III (he sounds much more "demented" in English)

I've seen Somnium Files on steam a few times but didn't think it had anything to do with it, will check it out!
*: Done a bit of research, added most of the studio's games to wishlist XD

1. Fixed!
2. Yep, fixed also XD

You're fine XD... I was kind of upset at first but quickly got over it when it made me realize:
The puzzle really wasn't approachable, with all the fluff and the fact that it was more convoluted than it had to be to serve the story bit I wrote for it, it just made things way too difficult, especially seeing as most people don't have the time to solve these kinds of massive puzzles with strange solutions.

Appreciate this comment though, much love.

This is your chance!
Good luck ;)

You can go ahead and try it if you'd like! I posted the solution on replies here and in the first cart of the train.
The old puzzle.

Same, with you on this one, it sucked converting it after the fact but that's the only way people would interact with the train XD
Most people gave up outright because the puzzle looked scary and was convoluted from the start.
I'll refine my puzzle making skills and the next one will be more approachable :)

LOL I actually thought about it but I had a timed pass (JR Kansai Hiroshima Area Pass) since it was cheaper to get it rather than getting a shinkansen separately for every location I was heading to, so I wanted to cram in as many day trips as I could in the ~5 days it was active, on the last day I headed to Kyoto with said pass (which, now thinking about it, I probably should've reserved for another day trip perhaps...)
I ended up waking up super early, chugging a 7-11 black coffee and hauling ass at around 6-7 ish AM each of those days to get there as early as possible and see as much as I could. It was a bit tight and I missed some (now that I think about it, it was actually not a small amount of) stuff but I didn't really fret too much as I still got to see ALOT of stuff, and I will for sure return one day.
I honestly wanted to potentially get another day-trip to Hirsohima in and make it separate from Miyajima but ended up deciding against it since I went to see alot of A-Bomb related stuff and it was pretty depressing, especially seeing all the other tourists taking pictures at literal memorials smiling and laughing, which really put me off. By the end of the day I was kind of mentally exhausted and decided it'd be best to stick to my schedule.
I got to eat one of my favorite ramen bowls in an inconspicuous little shop about 10 minutes from the memorial park, too! The owner was very kind :)
I will definitely return one day, perhaps for a few days. I'm thinking next trip will be a bit less mainstream and more rural. Currently casually learning Japanese so I hope in 3-5 years time (when I'll probably be returning) I'll be proficient enough to get by and socialize :)

It was a bit of a mess. Character 3 and 5 were interchangeable but all the others were pretty straight-forward all things considered.
The note had colors and names of markings (I.E Red sun, green ... star and moon etc.) Green has 2 while red, blue and silver have 1 each. Pretty sure the formatting is still according to the numbers attached, meaning in this case that here:
RED: 1-z🌕 / 4-2🟨 / 5?-b☀️ / 2-2🟡
Red sun is 5 / 3 - b, meaning the 3rd or 5th character is b (5th in this case).

So it was basically almost the same as the main puzzle, only thing that was a bit harder to work with was the note and the interchangeable characters. Maybe I should've separated the two completely, I think it'd have been easier to look at and solve. The main puzzle was easier than this one, but I still think they weren't too difficult by themselves, just all the fluff and the fact that I made them interlocked that was a bit puzzling to some and daunting to most.
