Differences between the novel and the game

Episode 1: The Crimson Tyrant

  • An original scene where Yuuya's dream about his classmates doesn't notice his disappearance nor remember him at his high school.
  • In the novel, Yuuya notices he can understand the people from Twisted Wonderland's language even though they aren't Japanese. According to him, he is somehow “translating” his Japanese thoughts into an unfamiliar language.
  • In the novel, the ghosts mention there are more than 800 students, including fourth-year students who are currently away for their internship. In the game, the fourth student wasn't mentioned until Chapter 5 from the Main Story.

Episode 2: Wilderness Rebel

  • In the novel, reveals the NRC dorm room arrangements for each year. 1st year students are four in a room, the 2nd year students with two people in a room, and 3rd year students get their own room. The dorm leaders are the only exception as they get their own rooms regardless of the year they are in.
