Item Description
Nine strangers wake up aboard a ship that will sink in nine hours. Each wears a numbered bracelet, each has been forced into a deadly contest called the Nonary Game by a masked figure known only as Zero, and the only way out is through a series of numbered doors that only the right combinations of players can open. That is the hook of 999: 9 Hours, 9 Persons, 9 Doors, the Nintendo DS thriller from Chunsoft and writer-director Kotaro Uchikoshi that became one of the most talked-about story games of its generation.
You play as Junpei, a college student who finds himself sharing the ordeal with a cast of wary, secretive strangers, among them his childhood friend June, the abrasive Santa, the towering Seven and the enigmatic Lotus. Play moves between two modes. Novel sections unfold the story in tense, densely written text, with choices about which door to take and whom to trust. Escape sections drop you into one of the ship's locked rooms, where you search every corner, combine items and crack number puzzles to find the way out.
What makes 999 unforgettable is the way it is built. There are six endings, and the first one you reach is rarely a happy one. Each run reveals new rooms, new conversations and new pieces of the mystery, and the true ending only opens up after you have seen another of them. Without spoiling anything, the game turns the DS's two screens into part of its storytelling, and the final hours pull scattered threads about history, science and morphogenetic fields into a payoff players still argue about years later.
999 launched the Zero Escape series, which continued with Virtue's Last Reward and Zero Time Dilemma, and it was later remastered alongside Virtue's Last Reward in The Nonary Games. In North America it arrived from Aksys Games in 2010, a dark, M-rated mystery that stood far apart from the family-friendly side of the DS library. Playing it on the DS means playing it the way Uchikoshi first designed it, two screens and all.
