I recently got The Nonary Games bundle and played the first one with all endings. Absolutely adore it.

I have a friend who enjoys visual novels and puzzle games, so we've arranged to play this weekend through Parsec (trading off control of the game after each room completion). I'm fine to explain things and fill in the gaps, but is this a bad idea? Will I be doing an enormous amount of filling in the gaps? And, essentially, is the game/plot enjoyable without having seen the first one?

We're only going to go for an ending or 2 (whichever ones we get first, we don't plan to be going for any one route in particular).

NO SPOILERS PLEASE
