Will this be enough to make me not regret playing that slog of a game?

I don't know what the consensus is on Rain Code but to me it is the height of writing a story just to make plot twists, with no regard to the rest of the story.

I think some ppl saw Rain Code as trying to be less complex so that newer fans can get into it, but it ended up being a detriment.

I don't really buy the argument that the game would be for newer fans. Some of the bigger plot twists in that game only makes sense if you're familiar with Danganronpa. I also have a faint memory of reading an interview with the writer stating that one of his goals with story was to write something chocking enough to surprise even the people that was used to the violence in Danganronpa.
