"Extreme Escape"), is a series of <a href="/wiki/Adventure_game" title="Adventure game">adventure games</a> directed and written by <a href="/wiki/Kotaro_Uchikoshi" title="Kotaro Uchikoshi">Kotaro Uchikoshi</a>. The first two entries in the series, <a href="/wiki/Nine_Hours,_Nine_Persons,_Nine_Doors" class="mw-redirect" title="Nine Hours, Nine Persons, Nine Doors">Nine Hours, Nine Persons, Nine Doors</a> (2009) and <a href="/wiki/Zero_Escape:_Virtue%27s_Last_Reward" title="Zero Escape: Virtue's Last Reward">Zero Escape: Virtue's Last Reward</a> (2012), were developed by <a href="/wiki/Spike_Chunsoft" title="Spike Chunsoft">Spike Chunsoft</a> (formerly <a href="/wiki/Chunsoft" class="mw-redirect" title="Chunsoft">Chunsoft</a>), while the third entry, <a href="/wiki/Zero_Time_Dilemma" title="Zero Time Dilemma">Zero Time Dilemma</a> (2016), was developed by Chime. Zero Escape is published by Spike Chunsoft in Japan, while <a href="/wiki/Aksys_Games" title="Aksys Games">Aksys Games</a> and <a href="/wiki/Rising_Star_Games" title="Rising Star Games">Rising Star Games</a> have published the games for <a href="/wiki/North_America" title="North America">North America</a> and <a href="/wiki/Europe" title="Europe">Europe</a> respectively. Each game in the series follows a group of nine individuals, who are kidnapped and held captive by a person code-named "Zero", and are forced to play a game of life and death to escape. The <a href="/wiki/Gameplay" title="Gameplay">gameplay</a> is divided into two types of sections: Novel sections, where the story is presented, and Escape sections, where the player solves <a href="/wiki/Escape-the-room" class="mw-redirect" title="Escape-the-room">escape-the-room</a> puzzles. In the first two games, the Novel sections are presented in a <a href="/wiki/Visual_novel" title="Visual novel">visual novel</a> format, whereas the third uses animated <a href="/wiki/Cutscene" title="Cutscene">cutscenes</a>. The stories branch based on player choices, and include multiple endings. In addition to Uchikoshi, the development team includes character designers <a href="/wiki/Kinu_Nishimura" title="Kinu Nishimura">Kinu Nishimura</a> and Rui Tomono, and music composer <a href="/wiki/Shinji_Hosoe" title="Shinji Hosoe">Shinji Hosoe</a>. The series was originally conceived when Chunsoft wanted Uchikoshi to write visual novels for a wider audience; he came up with the idea of combining the story with story-integrated puzzles. While Nine Hours, Nine Persons, Nine Doors was initially planned as a stand-alone title, its success in the international market led to the development of two sequels, intended to be paired as a set. Both Nine Hours, Nine Persons, Nine Doors and Virtue's Last Reward were commercial failures in Japan, and the third game was put on hold in 2014, only to resume the development for Zero Time Dilemma the following year, due to fan demand and the hiatus becoming big news. Critics have been positive to the series, praising its narrative for being experimental and for pushing boundaries for what can be done with video game narratives.<a href="#cite_note-NWR_999_Review-2">[1]</a><a href="#cite_note-gamasutra_storytelling_secrets-3">[2]</a><a href="#cite_note-1up_999_interview-4">[3]</a> <meta property="mw:PageProp/toc" /> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Titles">Titles</h2>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Zero_Escape&action=edit&section=1" title="Edit section: Titles">edit</a>]</div> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Main_games">Main games</h3>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Zero_Escape&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: Main games">edit</a>]</div> <style data-mw-deduplicate="TemplateStyles:r1212047051">.mw-parser-output .release-timeline{padding:.75em 1em;font-size:85%;line-height:.9;border-collapse:separate;border-spacing:0 1px;background-color:transparent}.mw-parser-output .release-timeline>caption{padding:.4em .4em .2em;font-size:112.5%}.mw-parser-output .release-timeline .rt-subtitle{padding-top:.3em;font-size:90%;font-weight:normal}.mw-parser-output .release-timeline td,.mw-parser-output .release-timeline th{border:none;padding:.4em;background:none;font:inherit;color:inherit}.mw-parser-output .release-timeline td{text-align:left}.mw-parser-output .release-timeline th{text-align:right}.mw-parser-output .release-timeline .rt-first{padding:.4em .4em .2em}.mw-parser-output .release-timeline .rt-next,.mw-parser-output .release-timeline .rt-last{padding:.2em .4em}@media(min-width:720px){.mw-parser-output .release-timeline{float:right;clear:right;margin:.5em 0 .5em 1.4em}.mw-parser-output .rt-left{float:left;clear:left;margin:.5em 1.4em .5em 0}.mw-parser-output .release-timeline caption{white-space:nowrap}}</style><table class="release-timeline wikitable"><caption>Release timeline</caption><tbody><tr><th scope="row" style="border-right:1.4em solid #0BDA51">2009</th><td><a href="/wiki/Nine_Hours,_Nine_Persons,_Nine_Doors" class="mw-redirect" title="Nine Hours, Nine Persons, Nine Doors">Nine Hours, Nine Persons, Nine Doors</a></td></tr><tr><th scope="row" style="border-right:1.4em solid #228B22">2010</th></tr><tr><th scope="row" style="border-right:1.4em solid #228B22">2011</th></tr><tr><th scope="row" style="border-right:1.4em solid #0BDA51">2012</th><td><a href="/wiki/Zero_Escape:_Virtue%27s_Last_Reward" title="Zero Escape: Virtue's Last Reward">Zero Escape: Virtue's Last Reward</a></td></tr><tr><th scope="row" style="border-right:1.4em solid #228B22">2013</th></tr><tr><th scope="row" style="border-right:1.4em solid #228B22">2014</th></tr><tr><th scope="row" style="border-right:1.4em solid #228B22">2015</th></tr><tr><th scope="row" style="border-right:1.4em solid #0BDA51">2016</th><td><a href="/wiki/Zero_Time_Dilemma" title="Zero Time Dilemma">Zero Time Dilemma</a></td></tr><tr><th scope="row" style="border-right:1.4em solid #0BDA51">2017</th><td>Zero Escape: The Nonary Games</td></tr></tbody></table> The series consists of three video games.<a href="#cite_note-ZE3_Name-5">[4]</a> The first two games were released in English by <a href="/wiki/Aksys_Games" title="Aksys Games">Aksys Games</a> in North America,<a href="#cite_note-bluebird_usgamer-6">[5]</a> and the second game was released in English in Europe by <a href="/wiki/Rising_Star_Games" title="Rising Star Games">Rising Star Games</a>.<a href="#cite_note-siliconera_europe-7">[6]</a> The third game was released by Aksys Games in both North America and Europe for consoles,<a href="#cite_note-ZE3_Name-5">[4]</a> and by Spike Chunsoft worldwide for Windows.<a href="#cite_note-gem_ztd_pc-8">[7]</a> <ul><li><a href="/wiki/Nine_Hours,_Nine_Persons,_Nine_Doors" class="mw-redirect" title="Nine Hours, Nine Persons, Nine Doors">Nine Hours, Nine Persons, Nine Doors</a> is the first game in the series, developed by <a href="/wiki/Chunsoft" class="mw-redirect" title="Chunsoft">Chunsoft</a>.

The game's setting was meant as a depiction of two of humanity's instinctive desires: the unconscious desire to return to one's mother's womb and shut oneself away, and the desire to escape and overcome one's current condition.<a href="#cite_note-siliconera_philosophical_personal-43">[42]</a> Uchikoshi had initially written 999 as a stand-alone game, but its positive reception led to its sequels' development.<a href="#cite_note-ign_philosophical-44">[43]</a> The tension present in its first sequel Virtue's Last Reward was deliberately toned down from that in 999, as the results of a survey indicated that some Japanese people had not bought 999 because it seemed "too scary".

to do this, they used the English series title, Zero Escape, instead of the Kyokugen Dasshutsu title that had been used for previous Japanese releases.<a href="#cite_note-gematsu_participants-48">[47]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Writing">Writing</h3>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Zero_Escape&action=edit&section=8" title="Edit section: Writing">edit</a>]</div> <style data-mw-deduplicate="TemplateStyles:r1273380762/mw-parser-output/.tmulti">.mw-parser-output .tmulti .multiimageinner{display:flex;flex-direction:column}.mw-parser-output .tmulti .trow{display:flex;flex-direction:row;clear:left;flex-wrap:wrap;width:100%;box-sizing:border-box}.mw-parser-output .tmulti .tsingle{margin:1px;float:left}.mw-parser-output .tmulti .theader{clear:both;font-weight:bold;text-align:center;align-self:center;background-color:transparent;width:100%}.mw-parser-output .tmulti .thumbcaption{background-color:transparent}.mw-parser-output .tmulti .text-align-left{text-align:left}.mw-parser-output .tmulti .text-align-right{text-align:right}.mw-parser-output .tmulti .text-align-center{text-align:center}@media all and (max-width:720px){.mw-parser-output .tmulti .thumbinner{width:100%!important;box-sizing:border-box;max-width:none!important;align-items:center}.mw-parser-output .tmulti .trow{justify-content:center}.mw-parser-output .tmulti .tsingle{float:none!important;max-width:100%!important;box-sizing:border-box;text-align:center}.mw-parser-output .tmulti .tsingle .thumbcaption{text-align:left}.mw-parser-output .tmulti .trow>.thumbcaption{text-align:center}}@media screen{html.skin-theme-clientpref-night .mw-parser-output .tmulti .multiimageinner span:not(.skin-invert-image):not(.skin-invert):not(.bg-transparent) img{background-color:white}}@media screen and (prefers-color-scheme:dark){html.skin-theme-clientpref-os .mw-parser-output .tmulti .multiimageinner span:not(.skin-invert-image):not(.skin-invert):not(.bg-transparent) img{background-color:white}}</style><div class="thumb tmulti tleft"><div class="thumbinner multiimageinner" style="width:192px;max-width:192px"><div class="trow"><div class="tsingle" style="width:93px;max-width:93px"><div class="thumbimage" style="height:134px;overflow:hidden"><a href="/wiki/File:Kurt_Vonnegut_1972.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img alt="A photograph of Kurt Vonnegut" src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/5/5e/Kurt_Vonnegut_1972.jpg/91px-Kurt_Vonnegut_1972.jpg" decoding="async" width="91" height="135" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/5/5e/Kurt_Vonnegut_1972.jpg/137px-Kurt_Vonnegut_1972.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/5/5e/Kurt_Vonnegut_1972.jpg/182px-Kurt_Vonnegut_1972.jpg 2x" data-file-width="936" data-file-height="1388" /></a></div></div><div class="tsingle" style="width:95px;max-width:95px"><div class="thumbimage" style="height:134px;overflow:hidden"><a href="/wiki/File:Isaac.Asimov01.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img alt="A photograph of Isaac Asimov" src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/3/34/Isaac.Asimov01.jpg/93px-Isaac.Asimov01.jpg" decoding="async" width="93" height="135" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/3/34/Isaac.Asimov01.jpg/140px-Isaac.Asimov01.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/3/34/Isaac.Asimov01.jpg/186px-Isaac.Asimov01.jpg 2x" data-file-width="2530" data-file-height="3671" /></a></div></div></div><div class="trow" style="display:flex"><div class="thumbcaption">Among Uchikoshi's influences for the series are writers <a href="/wiki/Kurt_Vonnegut" title="Kurt Vonnegut">Kurt Vonnegut</a> (left) and <a href="/wiki/Isaac_Asimov" title="Isaac Asimov">Isaac Asimov</a> (right).</div></div></div></div> For Zero Escape, Uchikoshi conceived the storytelling as being gameplay; he said that while other games might consist of the player shooting people, with a story just there to enhance it, he thinks that the narrative of visual novels should be gameplay. As an example of this, the second game has players learn information and not being able to continue past certain points until they have input a solution; this was influenced by the 1994 video game <a href="/wiki/Kamaitachi_no_Yoru" class="mw-redirect" title="Kamaitachi no Yoru">Kamaitachi no Yoru</a>, and was intended to make the story get "under the skin" of players, and allow the player and the player character to understand the game world in tandem, and progress together.<a href="#cite_note-gamasutra_intertwine-58">[57]</a> Among other influences for the series were writers <a href="/wiki/Isaac_Asimov" title="Isaac Asimov">Isaac Asimov</a> and <a href="/wiki/Kurt_Vonnegut" title="Kurt Vonnegut">Kurt Vonnegut</a>; Uchikoshi felt that 90% of any creative work consists of pieces from others' works, and that the remaining 10% is creativity, with the result being worthwhile hinging on how well a writer can incorporate their influences with their own ideas.<a href="#cite_note-gamasutra_storytelling_secrets-3">[2]</a> Uchikoshi prioritized storylines over characters,<a href="#cite_note-siliconera_uchikoshi_designing-59">[58]</a> and used the feeling of discomfort as the foundation of the narrative.<a href="#cite_note-60">[59]</a> He first came up with a setting, and then made characters along with the drama and stories behind them. After this, he decided on the core of the game's story, and created a flowchart based on it, which became the "bone structure of the story".<a href="#cite_note-ign_rabbit_hole-61">[60]</a> According to Uchikoshi, it did not matter that the setups of the games were far-fetched, as long as their internal logic worked; he said that as long as the story is interesting and immersive, implausible situations feel plausible to the player. On the other hand, he felt that if he had specifically tried to make it more plausible, by forcing explanations that justify the situations, the story would become boring and the implausible would look even more implausible. Instead, he chose to rely on players' imagination, saying that players can make things seem plausible in ways he had not even imagined himself. One thing he did to make the stories more believable was adding concepts such as <a href="/wiki/Schr%C3%B6dinger%27s_cat" title="Schrödinger's cat">Schrödinger's cat</a>, which he felt added flavor and kept players wondering whether a particular concept could be the main idea of the game; he felt that when players wonder that, it makes the story feel more real, as they create the game world in their minds.<a href="#cite_note-gamasutra_storytelling_secrets-3">[2]</a> After deciding on the story and the main character, he would balance the characters, in terms of genders, personalities, and ages represented; when making character personalities, he used the <a href="/wiki/Enneagram_of_Personality" title="Enneagram of Personality">Enneagram of Personality</a> as reference, which classifies people into nine groups;<a href="#cite_note-999qa_26_enneagram-62">[61]</a><a href="#cite_note-vlrqa_66_enneagram-63">[62]</a> the decision to do this came from the importance of the number "9" in the storyline of 999.<a href="#cite_note-siliconera_philosophical_personal-43">[42]</a> An important thing to him when making characters was to create a mystery behind them, to make players curious about who the characters are and what their pasts are like.<a href="#cite_note-ign_rabbit_hole-61">[60]</a> Another important element was the use of misdirection: by deliberately making certain characters seem like bad people, he would aim to get players to focus on them more, making it more difficult for them to see who the "real bad guy" is.<a href="#cite_note-gamasutra_storytelling_secrets-3">[2]</a> He aimed to not give the player characters strong personalities, in order to make it easier for players to empathize with them.<a href="#cite_note-siliconera_uchikoshi_designing-59">[58]</a> He chose to have the games be played from a first person perspective as he felt it makes for "a stronger impact" and is more interesting than a third person perspective; it was also used to limit the information that is available to the player in a realistic way, as the player only knows what they experience or are told. Because the player characters in most games can die many times, Uchikoshi felt that video game characters' deaths may be taken lightly, which he saw as a weak point in games. To combat this, he focused on trying to get players to want to keep the story alive, rather than trying to keep the player character alive; as a result of wanting to keep the story going, players would also avoid the death of their character.<a href="#cite_note-gamasutra_storytelling_secrets-3">[2]</a> When writing the stories, he started with their <a href="/wiki/Plot_twist" title="Plot twist">twist endings</a>, and then worked his way back from that.<a href="#cite_note-ann_interview-64">[63]</a> He designed the flow of the story by using a <a href="/wiki/Spreadsheet" title="Spreadsheet">spreadsheet</a>, and wrote prototypes of potential outcomes of the different scenarios in the game; after this, he matched it with the flowchart he had made, and came up with the details of each story.<a href="#cite_note-gamasutra_storytelling_secrets-3">[2]</a> As he wrote each scene, he imagined what the player might be thinking as they play through it, and decided what to write based on it; this was one of the most important things to him when writing.<a href="#cite_note-usgamer_inside_genesis-49">[48]</a> A key element to Uchikoshi when writing the outcomes of player decisions is that the importance of the decision usually is much greater after the player has made it, with the consequences only being revealed later on as the player learns more information; this was to maintain the high suspense level, and to avoid situations where choices end up not actually mattering. One big challenge for him was to maintain player interest through all branches; he tried to have each branch develop differently, as to avoid repetition and fatigue, and keep the player motivated.<a href="#cite_note-gamasutra_storytelling_secrets-3">[2]</a> While he came up with the set-up, the setting, and the characters on his own, he had a sub-writer helping him with writing the second game, and two sub-writers for the third game. They would help with brainstorming ideas and finding what does not work so well and how to improve scenarios.<a href="#cite_note-Panel_Discussion-57">[56]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Puzzles">Puzzles</h3>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Zero_Escape&action=edit&section=9" title="Edit section: Puzzles">edit</a>]</div> The Escape sequences were made to appeal to the players' instinctive desires; Uchikoshi wanted the player to experience the instinctive pleasure of "I found it!".<a href="#cite_note-siliconera_philosophical_personal-43">[42]</a> For the puzzles, Uchikoshi would think about the details within the overall story, and the gimmicks and props found in the game; after deciding on them, they were integrated with the puzzles.<a href="#cite_note-ann_interview-64">[63]</a> He would also use puzzle-related websites as reference.<a href="#cite_note-siliconera_philosophical_personal-43">[42]</a> He did not handle puzzle design himself, instead leaving a lot of the direction to other staff, and checking it multiple times.<a href="#cite_note-Panel_Discussion-57">[56]</a> Because of the puzzle–story integration, the development team tried to avoid situations where the player gets stuck due to being unable to solve a puzzle, by including hints that would appear if the player repeatedly clicked on items; as the player continues clicking, the hints get more obvious, to the point of almost revealing the solution outright. In the second game, a difficulty setting was added, with puzzles being easier to solve on lower settings.<a href="#cite_note-usgamer_inside_genesis-49">[48]</a> While the first game was in 2D, the second game features 3D graphics; this change affected the puzzle creation, as the development team could choose to layer objects behind each other or have them all visible at once.<a href="#cite_note-ign_rabbit_hole-61">[60]</a> As the second game was made with a worldwide release in mind, <a href="/wiki/Japanese_writing_system" title="Japanese writing system">Japanese characters</a> and references to Japanese culture were avoided in the puzzle design; the puzzles ended up using numbers a lot since they are internationally used symbols.<a href="#cite_note-siliconera_suspenseful-42">[41]</a> For the iOS version of the first game, the puzzles were removed and replaced with new story sequences; this was done as the development team wanted to reach people who are not good at solving puzzles, or who do not play games at all and who might not have a game console, but according to Uchikoshi, the staff felt that the game was incomplete without the puzzle sequences of the original version.<a href="#cite_note-65">[64]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Localization">Localization</h2>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Zero_Escape&action=edit&section=10" title="Edit section: Localization">edit</a>]</div> The series is <a href="/wiki/Video_game_localization" title="Video game localization">localized</a> by Aksys Games;<a href="#cite_note-technology_tell_interview-66">[65]</a> Chunsoft was first introduced to Aksys through <a href="/wiki/Spike_(company)" title="Spike (company)">Spike</a>, when Chunsoft was looking for a company that could publish the first game in the United States.<a href="#cite_note-siliconera_philosophical_personal-43">[42]</a> During Aksys' evaluation period of it, many people at the company did not believe in the game and turned it down; as many of the people who evaluate games at Aksys do not speak Japanese, it was difficult for them to determine whether a game was good or not. Eventually, they decided to localize it, which was considered a big risk for the company. They worked by the philosophy of keeping true to the spirit of the original Japanese version, opting to make dialogue sound like what a native speaker would say rather than strictly adhering to the Japanese wording. Ben Bateman, the editor of the first two games' localizations, did this by looking at the writing from a wider view, examining it line by line or scene by scene, rather than word by word or sentence by sentence, and thinking about how to convey the same idea in English. Most parts of the games that include a joke in the localization also have a joke in the Japanese versions, but a different one; Bateman did try to make similar types of jokes with similar contents and ideas. He was given mostly free rein in what he could change or add to the writing, as long as it did not disrupt the plot.<a href="#cite_note-technology_tell_interview-66">[65]</a> The biggest challenge with localizing the series was to keep track of everything, as the games feature branching paths, and the characters learn different things in different branches, affecting word choices and attitudes. While a lot of this had been taken care of by Spike Chunsoft, many parts of the game required different word choices in English depending on if a character knew of a particular thing or not; in these cases, the localization team had to track the story backwards. During the projects, Aksys Games would do email correspondence with Spike Chunsoft, to make sure that they conveyed the message of the games as intended.<a href="#cite_note-technology_tell_interview-66">[65]</a> The title Zero Escape was decided on during the localization of the second game, when the localization team wanted to create a "branding umbrella" for both games. They chose the title based on what they thought defines the first two games and is common to both of them, concluding that it was the character Zero and how both games involve "a dangerous escape"; the title also has the double meaning of "you have zero chance to escape".<a href="#cite_note-67">[66]</a> The title was later used as part of the Japanese title for Zero Time Dilemma,<a href="#cite_note-68">[67]</a> and replaced the previous Japanese title Kyokugen Dasshutsu for the re-release of Nine Hours, Nine Persons, Nine Doors and Virtue's Last Reward.<a href="#cite_note-69">[68]</a> For the first game, a big challenge was getting the localization done in time; Nobara Nakayama, the game's translator, worked on it for 30 days, and the editing process took two months. Because of this, Bateman had to do most of the work "on the fly". Nakayama had started playing the game prior to starting work on the localization, but did not finish playing it until she was more than halfway through translating it; after learning that the plot hinged on a Japanese pun, they had to halt the localization, discuss it with Uchikoshi, come up with a solution, and go through the whole game to make sure that it still made sense. The second game took around three months to translate and four months to edit. A big challenge in localizing it was catching the several subtle hints to the game's ending that appear throughout the story.<a href="#cite_note-technology_tell_interview-66">[65]</a> Unlike the previous two Zero Escape titles, the North American version of the third game was produced alongside the Japanese version.<a href="#cite_note-IGN_ZE3-56">[55]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Reception">Reception</h2>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Zero_Escape&action=edit&section=11" title="Edit section: Reception">edit</a>]</div> <style data-mw-deduplicate="TemplateStyles:r1251242444">.mw-parser-output .ambox{border:1px solid #a2a9b1;border-left:10px solid #36c;background-color:#fbfbfb;box-sizing:border-box}.mw-parser-output .ambox+link+.ambox,.mw-parser-output .ambox+link+style+.ambox,.mw-parser-output .ambox+link+link+.ambox,.mw-parser-output .ambox+.mw-empty-elt+link+.ambox,.mw-parser-output .ambox+.mw-empty-elt+link+style+.ambox,.mw-parser-output .ambox+.mw-empty-elt+link+link+.ambox{margin-top:-1px}html body.mediawiki .mw-parser-output .ambox.mbox-small-left{margin:4px 1em 4px 0;overflow:hidden;width:238px;border-collapse:collapse;font-size:88%;line-height:1.25em}.mw-parser-output .ambox-speedy{border-left:10px solid #b32424;background-color:#fee7e6}.mw-parser-output .ambox-delete{border-left:10px solid #b32424}.mw-parser-output .ambox-content{border-left:10px solid #f28500}.mw-parser-output .ambox-style{border-left:10px solid #fc3}.mw-parser-output .ambox-move{border-left:10px solid #9932cc}.mw-parser-output .ambox-protection{border-left:10px solid #a2a9b1}.mw-parser-output .ambox .mbox-text{border:none;padding:0.25em 0.5em;width:100%}.mw-parser-output .ambox .mbox-image{border:none;padding:2px 0 2px 0.5em;text-align:center}.mw-parser-output .ambox .mbox-imageright{border:none;padding:2px 0.5em 2px 0;text-align:center}.mw-parser-output .ambox .mbox-empty-cell{border:none;padding:0;width:1px}.mw-parser-output .ambox .mbox-image-div{width:52px}@media(min-width:720px){.mw-parser-output .ambox{margin:0 10%}}@media print{body.ns-0 .mw-parser-output .ambox{display:none!important}}</style><table class="box-Expand_section plainlinks metadata ambox ambox-content" role="presentation"><tbody><tr><td class="mbox-image"><div class="mbox-image-div"><a href="/wiki/File:Wiki_letter_w_cropped.svg" class="mw-file-description"><img alt="[icon]" src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/1/1c/Wiki_letter_w_cropped.svg/44px-Wiki_letter_w_cropped.svg.png" decoding="async" width="44" height="31" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/1/1c/Wiki_letter_w_cropped.svg/66px-Wiki_letter_w_cropped.svg.png 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/1/1c/Wiki_letter_w_cropped.svg/88px-Wiki_letter_w_cropped.svg.png 2x" data-file-width="44" data-file-height="31" /></a></div></td><td class="mbox-text"><div class="mbox-text-span">This section needs expansion with: more details about reception of games in the series following Virtue's Last Reward.
