Virtues Last Reward is the reason I got my 3DS. I'd say it panders to a pretty niche ground and perhaps alot won't like it.
It's basically a Japanese Visual Novel. It's full of plot and story, the actual gameplay is basically trying to escape rooms by solving puzzles. It also has 24 different endings to get.
You play as a character called Sigm whos is trapped in a secret testing facility with 8 other people. You are forced to play the "Nonary Game" to escape. It's violent, people die, but it isn't gorey and doesn't have jumpscares. It's more of a psychological horror of "who killed that guy", and then looking at everyone around you. It's also very futuristic.
It is a sequel to the DS game "9 hours 9 persons 9 doors". I think it's better than the first game, but if you play the second first you might not realise a few plot points when the second game references the first. Also it may spoil some of the plot points of the first game. Also, be warned the first game is a bit more gorey, they got complaints about it which is why the second game more kiddy friendly.
They're actually making a third installment for this game, it's also coming to 3DS. I forget, but I think it releases at the end of June/July this year. Also by popular demand the gore is returning.
