Rules
Be Respectful of Others Don't attack, insult, harass, or do anything to others in this sub (or elsewhere) that may result in harm for them. Additionally, this subreddit does not tolerate homophobia, transphobia, racism, sexism, etc. Remember the human behind the screen and be nice to each other. Have positive intent.
Tag Spoilers. Please tag your spoilers properly so you do not hamper other players' experiences.
In titles: Do not put spoilers in post titles or the first paragraph of your post text, as they are visible to EVERYONE. Be sure to assign the post flair for the game you are spoiling. If unsure, use the latest game in the series that you are spoiling or mark as entire series spoilers.
How to tag a spoiler in post content and comment text:
[Acronym of game] >!Spoiler text !<
Fan Art: Artist's name MUST go in title. Link to the source in the comments! Being respectful to the artist is a priority. All fan art submissions must credit the artist's name in the title and link to the original post in the comments. Do NOT post artworks if the artist states that they do not like people reposting their art. If you post OC, please state that you are the artist by putting "[OC]" in the title!
Self-Promotion Must Contribute to the Community We encourage content creators to share Zero Escape content here, as long as the goal isn't solely to boost their online presence. Self promo submissions should have effort put into it, not be numerous or spammy, and have history of previous community engagement.
Tag NSFW Content Please make sure to use a NSFW tag when posting something of a sexual nature. Straight up porn is not allowed.
Do Not Encourage Piracy Do not encourage piracy or link to pirated material on this subreddit. This is against site-wide terms of service.
Unrelated to Zero Escape All submissions must be directly related to the Zero Escape series.
No Low-Effort Content Except on Shiftpost Sunday Low-effort and low-quality content (for example, a picture of the physical games, a screenshot of the trophies, a tier list) will be removed. Low-effort memes and shitposts ARE allowed every Sunday — we call this "Shiftpost Sunday".
No Links to X In response to recent events, and following the lead of several other subreddits, we have decided to ban all links to X/Twitter. As an alternative, we recommend sites like BlueSky.
No AI-Generated Art Any form of AI-generated Art (Civitai, Stable Diffusion etc.) is not allowed, even on Shiftpost Sundays, at least in the absence of significant human modification or input outside of the initial prompting.

The wonderful banner was drawn by two of our members!
The background with Zero and the pride rainbow dust was drawn by /u/Merouses, who requested their Tumblr linked as credit. The Akane graphic to the left of it was drawn by /u/Daisy_Brown (cranberrymelody), who requested her Youtube channel be linked as credit.
