Aksys isn’t just focusing on the PSP for their upcoming releases. They’re also showing some love for the Nintendo DS with the horror visual novel, 9 Hours, 9 Persons, 9 Doors.

 

“We’ve decided to call 999 an ‘Adventure’ game,” says Ben Bateman, Localization Editor, Aksys Games, “but I don’t really feel that’s entirely accurate. 999 is a game that simulates life, or at least it would if your life was about being trapped on a sinking ship and forced to complete a series of incomprehensible puzzles before your practically inevitable death. It is about relationships, and how they will ultimately kill you.”

 

9 Hours, 9 Persons, 9 Doors has players waking up on a ship with eight other kidnapped passengers forced by a mysterious man to play the “Nonary Game”. They have nine hours to free themselves and uncover the mystery or they all die. More details below.

 

• Nine Hours – You only have 9 hours before Junpei and the other 8 kidnapped drown. Numerology, music composition and logic puzzles are just a few of the 32 + obstacles that stand in the way of their freedom. You must use everything in your environment and personal experience to get out!
• Nine Persons – Uncover the mystery surrounding the lives of the 9 captive characters and how their blurry pasts reveal a disturbing future. Help all the characters escape but beware! A wrong decision or careless mistake might put their lives in jeopardy. Experience all 6 + endings that are determined by the way you play!
• Nine Doors – Each hostage is cursed with a digital watch that displays their special number. These numbers are the keys to unlocking the 9 doors. Explore your surrounding for clues to unlock the next door by picking up and examining objects in the different environments. Create new tools by combining like objects to get out of dangerous situations and deadly door puzzles
