Kyaaa~ *is jealous*
I've been looking for this game since the day it came out, with no luck. Today, they said they got one copy in the morning, and somebody instantly bought it. Well, at least I know it's out here now.

This game is fantastic. If you enjoy mystery, thriller and philosophical stuff, then this is the game for you... actually, if you have the slightest interest in VN, pick this one up, not only is it worth every penny you spend, your contribution will also encourage Aksys to bring over Umineko for the PS3 and maybe the Infinity series for the PSP in the near future.
I picked up this game and couldn't put it down until my DS' battery's dead. The story is very easy to follow, and the logic is clear and concise to the point. After getting mind raped by Umineko and Remember11, this is a breath of fresh air. And like most of the Infinity series games, this game encourages you to explore every possible flag/branching point in order to unlock the true ending. |

This game is AMAZING, I haven't been able to put down my DS since I got it! I love the Infinity series, so I knew I would love this as well... This game is up to par with both Ever17 and Remember11, in my opinion.
The puzzles are a wee bit too easy but they're such a cool addition, I wish more VNs had puzzles like that, it makes the story easier to follow. |

Oh man, Ive just finished playing 999 and it is truly an excellent game - gets 9/10 from me.
However, for someone who already played Ever17 like me, it is also rather disappointing. If I wouldnt know the story is written by the same person, Id say its a flat out rip-off. Plot wise, Ever17 players will find nothing new here (except for a tiny gem at the very end of the game) as most revelations are just very, VERY similar - basically its like having two identical paintings with just different colors. Furthermore 999 is also shorter and thus the whole mystery isint as deep as it was in Ever17 - not to mention, most of those ~25hours it takes to complete 999 are composed of puzzle solving and story by itself would probably take only around (dare I say) 9 hours to complete. To sum it up, for Ever17 players 999 is just a same old game in new colors. For everyone else its a great game with excellent writing, great graphics, pleasant sound and of course clever plot - must-play for every DS owner.

Finally finished this game. After reading other people's impressions, I only have one question:
Spoiler:
Anyway, kind of a disappointing game for me, even if it's better than the Infinity series. Spoiler for Ever17:

Seriously---what's wrong with the game that I got ? I played it for just a few minutes and then experiencing unlimited crash work here and there ;_; I'm in the part where I must to escape the room for the first time....can't get pass it because the game always freeze when I played it.
A question though....is the puzzle hard compared to other games ?

AFAIK, only *cough*rom*cough* version of the game had this problem, and they pretty much fixed it. So you might want to take yours back for an exchange since I haven't seen anyone else had this problem.

---To put things short, I manage to get this game working now After playing it for a few hours....seriously, this game managed to give me goosebumps. Probably because I always play it at night and alone in my apartment. But still, all this stuff about curses...I can't just keep up with it

Oh, good, there's a topic on this.
Yeah, I recently finished the game too. Like I said in the Ever17 topic, I think it's a more compact infinity game with equally good twists and revelations like the ones in Coco's route. The ending left a lot more cliffhangers though, so that brings it down a bit. 9/10 still seems appropriate, and not just for the pun. Although there are a ton of puns in the game... Clover is obviously my favorite, though June got major support from me after the true end, particularly due to some Ever17 parallels. For the person who didn't get the bad ends, I do suggest checking out the axe and sub end, though the knife end is pretty much a waste of time. Spoiler:

Just finished this today. I find Ever 17 to be better but this one is also very good. It is alot better than Uchikoshi's other work 12 riven. I'd probably give it a 9 since its 999. I have a question about the end though?
Spoilers: (Sorry I don't know how to use spoiler tags) Does anyone know what Alice's role in the game is? Is she there just to give the game a horror feel or is it because of the plant needed to make soporil? Does she have any other importance in the story? I'm also curious about seven, did he fake his memory loss or was he really having amnesia and changing memories because the past was currently affected by the events at the present time? |
