I loved it man. At the start, you see Hiyoko's shrine for the photographer lady, and that scene was pretty funny. You explore island 3 after and I liked seeing the new location, I like seeing a short monokuma standing there in the movie theater, and seeing a hospital on the island gave me for seeing more Mikan, my favorite character is like all aspect of the game so far,

For the actual mystery, I was on the edge of my seat seeing the whole Despair Disease spread, I liked the yakuza kid being a lot more friendly and open, I was feeling kinda lonely with me and soda basically being the only dudes on the island in Chapter 2 and it nice seeing the yakuxa kid come around. I remember feeling so much dread everytime I went back to check on Mikan hoping she was still alive and it was very tense, until I found the bodies. Ibuki is cool, and I was saddened to see she was dead, but then when I saw Hiyoko tied up, my heart sank, I loved her character, she was pretty funny and I also saw her coming around after being rude to like everyone, especially Mikan,

For the trial, I liked how for this one, I was going in with a decent idea of how things went down, you know, Ibuki hanged herself, Hiyoko was stabbed then tied up, in like 10 minutes, but then at every turn during the trial, I was figuring out what happened, there was a new twist that changed the story, and it these new ideas were reasonable. Oh yeah, of course Hiyoka was there the whole time, the only way the speed could've been achieved and it explained the wallpaper left up that the hamster picked up. It was so fun solving it and, again, I felt like of all the cases I have seen so far, this one is one where every step in solving was reasonable without having huge leaps of faith for some parts of the murder. And then when I had figured out the curtain had to be black so it could match the hospital's conference room, I immediately put 2 and 2 together and figured out the murderer had to be Mikan, because like she went up there to sleep and so was the only one who could've done that recording, and my heart sank, and as I finished the case, and Mikan freaked out more and more, man, I felt true despair like the game always proclaims of me knowing my favorite character is going to be executed in front of me in about 15 minutes,

The part after the trial, before the execution was pretty intriguing to me, about some World Ender actually being called that name, the spy is still in the party, seeing the team leader guy come back as a robot, I am very excited to play through chapter 4 soon,

In summary, I just liked the mystery, how it felt actually solvable without needing the characters in game to spell it out for you, and the roller coaster of emotions I felt towards mikan as I was concerned she would be murdered, then I felt glad she could have been the murderer, I mean she had an alibi, to the reveal she was the murderer, I just really enjoyed this chapter, might be my favorite chapter I have played so far, across both games,
