4/5 ★ – gocki's review of 999: Nine Hours, Nine Persons, Nine Doors.

A visual novel with a few escape the room riddles in between. The riddles are fair, you should be able to solve most of them without any walkthrough. But the main reason the game hooked me is the exciting mystery story, packed with suprising and clever plot twist and a finale which uses the Nintendo DS hardware in a smart and suprising way. The game has multiple plot lines and you have to view all to fully understand the story and to see the true ending. Although each plot line is fairly different from each others, you have to restart the game from the beginning and replay some of the escape the room sequences, which felt tedious and tiring to me. But you should spend those minutes repeating those bits, because the story is worth it.
