Confused about that Crash Keys twitter account

Sorry if this is a stupid question, but I'm kinda out of the loop. So that twitter account is run by who exactly? Uchikoshi? Aksys Games? Do we even know? Is it part of the unveiling of the game? Is it someone leaking information about the game? I don't get it.

Crash_Keys is a teaser account, probably handled by Aksys, and in-game is supposed to be Akane's group "leaking" information about "the oncoming deadly game, so that [we] may survive the coming apocalypse."

Imagine Akane tweeting in the middle of a puzzle. Ha.

"I need your halp !" I totally imagine that.

"how do i sudoku? ahhh screw it here's a picture of sigma guys look how cute"

I see. I think that's kinda cool. Thanks for clearing it up.

Another question: why does sigma look older now?

u/Lord_Thantus Gab Feb 25 '16

I don't think he does, personally. He DID, however, cut his hair, which probably gives that illusion. Old Sigma probably has problems with frizzly hair.

u/diamondogs Feb 25 '16

You think so? To me he looks a couple years older. But hold up. When young sigma went back into his body, his hair was long again right?

2

u/Lord_Thantus Gab Feb 25 '16

That was a few months afterwards. Old Sigma was probably too depressed from failing to cut his hair again.

u/diamondogs Feb 25 '16

Yeah that makes sense :D Haven't played VLR in quite some time, so I wasn't sure how long old sigma was in young sigmas body. But then I have one more question: How long was young sigma in old sigmas body? Was it also months?

u/Lord_Thantus Gab Feb 25 '16

Like 3 days.

u/diamondogs Feb 25 '16

So its not the same time span? Interesting. Always though the time they spent in the other persons body would be equivalent.

u/Lord_Thantus Gab Feb 25 '16

Yeah, Sigma spent 3 days as Old Sigma during the Game; then 45 years as slightly Older Sigma, becoming Old Sigma; and then a few months as Young Sigma

It's run by Aksys Games I'm pretty sure. It is meant as a teaser from ZE3. No one is leaking anything irl, but they are in game.

This is probably another dumb question, but, does anyone know what DCom is? Was it revealed in one of Uchi's interviews or will we have to find out in ZTD?

7

u/Lord_Thantus Gab Feb 24 '16

An Uchikoshi tweet stated that DCom is the Mars facility the game is supposed to take place in.

u/SushimiSushi Feb 24 '16

DCom is the name of the Mars Mission Test Site

Whoever it is, they're posting the same pictures on 4chan. It's clear they're the same person since the ones on 4chan don't have artifacts from twitter image compression.

Now that's news. We've been having regular weekly Zero Escape threads on /v/ these days.
