About
Decide 4 God is the final entry of the Abime Series.

One hour.
The woman and her team of investigators had one hour to infiltrate a prison and cause a breakout. Her dearest hope was that, among the prisoners, there would be her brother who disappeared nearly twenty years ago.
She couldn't shake the feeling that something sinister was waiting for her team.
One hour.
The man had been up for one hour, contemplating his past. Everything changed when, one day, around noon, a box with clothing was slid through the opening in the cell door. He was told to put it on if he wanted to escape.
The prisoner obeyed, though something felt wrong. Why was someone breaking him out?

The final chapter in the Abime Series. Decide 4 God contains the entire truth behind the events of both Head AS Code and Birth ME Code. Familiar faces return and new faces emerge to complete the unfortunate cast suffering through over a dozen endings due to the misdeeds of Empathy Systems.
Two sides of the story. You will be able to follow multiple characters as they live out their terrible tale. Side A and Side B have wildly different events making up opposite parts of a whole story.
Interactions while exploring are choices. The companions you choose to explore with determine what you find, and what you find determines your fate. You can examine rooms alone or with others, and their involvement will change how the story unfolds.
Knowledge is a powerful curse. Everything you learn in your trip through Complex Twelve becomes a permanent part of your journey. The data transfers across playthroughs, but autosave means your information retention is permanent. Be careful of what you learn, as some of it may not be good for you...
Three kinds of story flowcharts. Side A and Side B have their own flowcharts, but that's not all: there's the global flowchart covering major parts of the information you learn and each exploration segment has its own solution flowchart to uncover too. Can you find your way out of this labyrinth of information and reach a Permanent Ending?
Note: Only 16:9 resolution ratio is fully supported.

Very entertaining experience and, in my opinion, the strongest entry in the series. Game is quite long, but it never felt like filler, and story-wise you are given new interesting information at a fairly regular pace. The exploration segments are repetitive by design, so that's something to be prepared for (but these segments and puzzles were fair, and I never had to resort to a guide out of frustration like I did in BMEC). Soundtrack is good. Certainly not flawless, but overall a successful ending to the franchise.
If you enjoyed 999, VLR, or any similar Mystery Escape room style VN/game, please play this trilogy. I cannot recommend it enough. Head As Code Birth ME Code and this game are all very good. Play them. Well worth the price.
Game is really keeping me engaged. If you like Zero Escape this is a good game for you! A great finish to a fun trilogy! Developer was extremely responsive and helpful
This was the most challenging game of the series, but what wonderful twists and turns, and such a fantastic ending to the narrative. Play the whole series if you’re a fan of timeline based visual novels, sci-fi, zero escape, puzzles and escape rooms. Really an incredible series from an indie developer.
If you enjoyed the Zero Escape series, you will enjoy the Abime series, no questions asked. It wears its influences on its sleeve, and offers fairly frequent tongue-in-cheek references to every entry in Zero Escape, the AI: Somnium games, Danganronpa, Umineko, STEINS;GATE and at least another half-dozen of the all-time greats. ABSOLUTELY DO play the first two in the Abime trilogy, though; the climax of both games will be revealed before you even hit your first ending in this one!
If you're a fan of the 999/Zero Escape/Zero Time Dilemma, this will scratch the same itch. I highly recommend playing the first two entries in the Abime Series (Head as Code and Birth ME Code) for relevant backstory, as the continuity between all three chapters is done really well. I bought this on a Thurs after seeing it came out of Early Access and logged 38 hours across the weekend to completion, as I was hooked after the first hour. The story was really good, most of the puzzles felt fairly tuned and there was ample dialogue to help guide you in the right direction if I got stuck. I did run into a couple of minor bugs when playing, but nothing game breaking. My biggest annoyance was probably w/the use of Lights Out puzzles, but that's a personal dislike. Kudos to Miracle Moon. I really enjoyed all three games and you did a great job overall. E: Thumbs up!
If you're a fan of the Zero Escape trilogy, or any mystery visual novel really, you HAVE to check out the Abime series. It has everything a twisted, philosophical, reading-lover, death-game/escape room enthusiast can wish for. Decide 4 God is the apogee, both in terms of story and gameplay. It has compelling characters and very useful systems to help the player organize information in respect to what they discover (flowchart unlocked after the first playthrough, interconnected lore bits, and puzzle solution guides). I particularly like how you can keep track of optional interactions if you're the completionist type. Of course, having finished the first two games (Head AS Code an Birth ME Code) is a MUST to really follow this third game's narrative. I would even recommend to play them soon after one another, since the ideas and the general plot can get a bit complicated. Overall, it really is an impressive game, especially from an indie developper.
The strongest title in the abime series. While the game requires having played the previous two games this one makes up for any hiccups the previous two had. Some people might get turned away by the fact that you aren't meant to complete every escape room in the time limit or the permanent endings blocking off certain endings once you earn one. However, the art, the music, the story, and the puzzles hit it out of the park. In the end this game is a strong recommendation.
A generally very solid VN. + Good writing, wraps up the series nicely + Visual are nice, though smol budget shows sometimes a little - "True" ending is a little handwawey [spoiler] "Oh yeah, the whole 300 thing is basically irrelevant for everyone but MC, Ityne is just a big dumb-dumb" [/spoiler]. The [spoiler] vat that ages you [/spoiler] is also a nice Chekhov's gun [i]and[/i] a random reason for [spoiler]Agnos's red eyes [/spoiler] just because - During Exploration segments (puzzle areas) some lag before character sprites load is noticeable when changing from scene to scene Overall, I'd say about 9.5/10 story, 8.5/10 presentation. Definitely recommend for fans of 999/Danganronpa/Remember11 and suchlike
Good game and fantastic end of the abime trilogy
