I own the DS game but never got around to playing it. I also bought the Switch game. Are they so different that you think it would be worth playing both?

Hmm… The games are indeed wildly different, and there are some subtle story changes (mostly to fix retcons with R, but D gets a little more to do).

But regardless of if you think playing the same story on both hardware is worth it, the Switch game has 'Another Code: R' bundled in, which makes it a MUCH fuller experience than the DS title.

(That said, I do think all of CiNG's DS games (Hotel Dusk, Last Window, Again: Eye of Providence, and Trace Memory) are all worth playing at least once to experience the unprecedented creativity in puzzle design. Though I will admit that Again took a couple of chapters before it grew on me.)

Thanks! I own those too (well, not Again), but was planning on having an adventure game binge at some point to play them all.
