Light theme

999: Nine Hours, Nine Persons, Nine Doors review
Exceptional
by Christopher Tristan

If you're a fan of stories around the "escape room" genre then you need to play this game. If you want the full experience, play this on the 3DS as the game was designed to be played on two screens. There's nothing wrong with playing it on the other systems, and they do contain great quality of life improvements, but having tried multiple versions it just doesn't compare.

Truly a masterclass for the genre. Great storytelling, exciting twists, and interesting (though often cheesy) characters and dialogue. An absolute must-play for anyone who loves visual novels, especially Danganronpa, which was made by the same developers. It's a game you wish you could replay for the first time again.

Absolutely amazing story and good puzzles. Had fun playing over and over again to get all the endings.

«That ending!»
I honestly don't know what words to use to describe what I feel about it; I loved every bit and puzzle until the ending absolutely destroys every last piece of good build up the game had, I just couldn't take it seriously and still can't, and same goes for the OST, there's some chill and/or creepy songs that hit the vibe perfectly but half of the puzzles tracks are unbeareable, especially the one that sounds like a mf blowgun war.

However, even if it left me with an awful aftertaste, I'd still carefully recommend it for the rest of the endings, a tid bit for the puzzles and especially for the interesting themes and scientific data it uses to tell the story, as it does so extremely well for the most part.
