Randomness in Zero Time Dilemma
In Zero Time Dilemma, there are many probabilistic choices which need to be made, or so it seems. Are all of these decision outcomes actually random, or are some of these forced (or even, say, forced on first playthrough and random thereafter)?
To keep this spoiler-free, here are some examples I have in mind written in a nondescript way:
- The very first scene
- Control room
- Trash disposal room
- Rec room
Best Answer
It seems to go on a case-by-case basis:
- This poll confirms that the first scene's seemingly random choice is rigged.
- Haven't found any posts related to the Control Room decision, but given that an event with a probability of 1/10 happened on the first time I attempted it, chances are high that it's rigged too.
- In the case of the trash disposal room, this post suggests it's totally random, even the first time. I, myself, got the 'best' result on my first time. I'd like for anyone to confirm in the comments if they got anything else.
- I remember reading that everyone, myself included, was getting a rather improbable outcome (less than 0.05%) on their third attempt at the Rec Room decision, but I can't find the post where I read that. If it's true, then that one's rigged as well.

Answer 2
The first scene is rigged so that everyone gets it right the first time. The control room and trash disposal room are truly random (as mentioned in the Cinema files you get for completing certain parts of the story), and the game room is random for the first two decisions and rigged on the third (as hinted by Akane after the third "decision").
