Just finished the game, and it was brilliant. I'm telling everyone right now, play 999 first. Everything gives off a better shock value once you've familiarized yourself with the characters and plot.
As for those who have played 999, prepare for some lovely references and tributes. It's well connected.
To look at it simply, 999 is the butterfly effect and Zero Escape is Schrodinger's Cat. While we're on the topic of famous theories, this game is packed full of interesting ones. The Chinese Room, The Three Laws of Robotics, Schrodinger's Cat, The Prisoner's Dilemma, The Principle of Causality, Ronald Knox's Ten Commandments, Minkowski Space and the 4th Dimension, and enough Latin phrasing to make any girl swoon- they're all in here and explained well.
Very fun, 9.5/10 would be my rating, and it's so rare that I give this much.
