Unused Dialogue

This is a sub-page of Zero Time Dilemma (Windows, PlayStation Vita).

To do:

  • Process the puzzle room dialogue.
  • Maybe repeat the process for Japanese audio.
    • Those voice clips are also unused.

Most of the unused text is minor and seems to have been removed to streamline the experience. Many of the flashbacks have their text removed, particularly the execution scenes.

In the tables below, bolded text is unused while the entries above and below are to be shown here to provide context.
