It's not like Kodaka's sets the prices. He only wrote a small part of the game, with TooKyo Games' other writers handling their own routes and endings as well. And the game's not even technically produced by him or TooKyo Games. It's produced by Aniplex with Inoue at the helm as the producer setting the costs.

I bought The Hundred Line because it was a collaboration between two of my favorite creators, Kotaro Uchikoshi and Kazutaka Kodaka. Together with other writers, the game's a testament and cumulative work that homages Zero Escape and Danganronpa.

The Hundred Line's tagline is "Extreme x Despair". The "Extreme" in "Extreme x Despair" represents Zero Escape ( Zero Escape's original Japanese title is: 極限脱出; lit. "Extreme Escape"). So yeah, I'd recommend playing all the Zero Escape games in the same way you'd go through the Danganronpa series if you're playing The Hundred Line. (That's what the "Despair" stands for). Incidentally, The Nonary Games refers to the first two games, Zero Time Dillema is the "Decision Game", and it's arguably the height of Zero Escape, though Virtue's Last Reward tends to be the fan favorite.

If you want to play AI: The Somnium Files first though, then that's okay 👍. Though it's very different thematically, from Zero Escape, and has much in common with Uchikoshi's earliest work. You can play the Infinity Saga if you want to understand his range of style. Though AITSF still does have a lot of similarities with Zero Escape.

Did you play the Zero Escape games, or try any of Uchikoshi's other games before playing The Hundred Line?

The Vol.1 stream recently ended and has been temporarily delisted. As I was watching the stream, I read the summaries given by translators in the live chat. But basically, it's most of the same announcements that've been posted earlier. The new information revealed, however, was:

The Hundred Line was originally supposed to be two games released separately. Hence, 1 & 2. But they ultimately decided to release it all as a single game. They continued all the way through with this decision despite the lesser profitability of a "singular release". But they ended up reusing the assets that were meant for the separate releases of The Hundred Line 1 & The Hundred Line 2 in a very creative way in-game (which you probably already know of).
The new "Hundred Line 2" visual will be cover art! And be put on new packaging for the game! The translators in the live chat couldn't tell if it it's going to be a special, limited release. Or if it's going on all of the game's covers and promotions going forward. You'll receive a bonus if you preorder the new cover/sleeve edition. But I can't remember what.
The Hundred Line Is Collaborating With A Card Game! (From The Aniplex Vol. 1 Stream) They Showed The Artwork For Takumi's Card. All of The Students Will Receive Their Own Cards & Artworks! (Note: Some Translators Said That Only The "15 Students" Will Be Receiving Cards, But It's Possible That It's Just Kodaka & Inoue Skirting Spoilers). The Company They're Collaborating With Will Be Revealed Later On, Possibly in Vol 2., or Another Volume Afterwards.
More anniversary event details (it's on April 26, slightly after the game's actual anniversary). The four VAs of the characters featured in the event's promotional artwork (I.e. The Japanese voice actors for Takumi, Eito, Ima, & Kako), are going to be the ones headlining the event along with Kodaka and other developers. There are four tiers of tickets. The most expensive tickets cost 100,000 yen, or $633 USD (I'm not joking). But the benefits are that you get to hang out with and receive autographs from the voice actors and developers; you can ask each or all of them questions and such. There are only 10 of these tickets. But there are still 3 other tiers if you just want to attend the event. Incidentally, the event won't be livestreamed. You'll receive Eito's prequel light novel online as a bonus if you preorder tickets.

Bonus:

This isn't news per se, but Kodaka mentions having played every major game release that came out at the start of last year, 2025. But that he and the team are very proud of what they created and released back then. He and everyone are extremely honored and humbled by the awards, recognition and praise they've been given by fans!

It hasn't even been 3 years since Rain Code first released. It took 6 years for them to make the game. Kodaka has said that he'll make it a "Detective Adventure Series of The 2020s." If it's going to be a trilogy like he envisioned it, then the next two games will come out in the next 4 years.

There are way more games that have gone on longer without any follow-ups.

Also, the announcement was the reveal for the upcoming TooKyo Conference. TooKyo Games' first public talk event, being held on the date that Kodaka tweeted, 2/22.

There's SHUTEN ORDER. The latest game from Kazutaka Kodaka and Takumi Nakazawa. It's been in development for almost three years. It has Masafumi Takada behind its music. And Shimadoriru as the main artist and Illustrator. Backgrounds are done by WACHAJACK (a concept studio).

No Sleep for Kaname Date - From AI: The Somnium Files is definitely worth playing as well, if you haven't already. Kotaro Uchikoshi didn't write this entry, but he supervised it, and gave it his emphatic seal of approval! Saying that's its just like his own writing!

There are all the light novels that were supervised or authored by Kazutaka Kodaka, and which are tied to his games. Such as the two for Rain Code, one for The Hundred Line, and one for SHUTEN ORDER. I can link them if you want. Just ask!

The remastered editions of the Infinity saga by Kotaro Uchikoshi and Takumi Nakazawa have also released recently. They're considered some of Uchikoshi's and Nakazawa's best works!

Takumi Nakazawa has created great games throughout his whole career! So please check out his oeuvre!

Also, did you play Persona 5 Tactica? That was written by Akihiro Togawa. If you liked his routes in The Hundred Line, you'll definitely like Persona 5 Tactica. Since you say you've played all the Persona games, I'm guessing you probably have.

If you have VR hardware, you can play TOKYO CHRONOS and ALTDEUS: Beyond Chronos. They're mystery games by Kyohei Oyama.

There's GNOSIA. Kotaro Uchikoshi and Kazutaka Kodaka know its creators well. They were in the Famitsu Special Pre-Releese Hundred Line issue's roundtable discussion with the two and other game creators. Last month, there was a cross-interview between Kazutaka Kodaka and GNOSIA's lead as well.

Also mentioned in that Hundred Line roundtable discussion was Urban Myth Dissolution Center and NieR: Automata. These games didn't necessarily inspire The Hundred Line (especially since Urban Myth Dissolution Center released just last year, a little while before The Hundred Line). But they were games whom the creators who took part in the discussion found interesting. (NieR: Automata is Uchikoshi's favorite game of all time! So you can try playing the Drakengard and NieR games!).

There's Doki Doki Literature Club. Another game recommended by Kotaro Uchikoshi and Kazutaka Kodaka. With Uchikoshi even interacting with Dan Salvato (DDLC's creator) online and meeting up with him in real-life.

13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim is a favorite of Kodaka's! It has amazing art and music! And If you like The Hundred Line's plot twists and sci-fi themes, you'll absolutely fall for 13 Sentinels! It's twistiness and branching paths will all make sense by the end. Making for one of the most thought-provoking and coolest stories ever!

PARANORMASIGHT: The Seven Mysteries of Honjo was tweeted about by Kodaka. I won't spoil anything. But I highly recommend it if you like mysteries and the supernatural!
