Review: 9 Hours 9 Persons 9 Doors

I absolutely loved this game. I kept playing until I got the true ending, one ending is a "false" ending in the sense it's the same as the true ending but stops because you don't have enough information to continue. Certain endings are important to get the true ending because of certain reasons explained in some of the other endings.
It snagged Game of the Year for me mainly for the one set of dialogue between Junpei and June (Akane), they were testing an elevator, and I purposely chose the incorrect assumption of "June doesn't want to be alone in the elevator with a boy" and so the hilarious exchange between the two, with Junpei thinking that June is nervous for getting physically close. I had to stop playing for a moment because I was laughing so hard.

I haven't played this yet, but I'm going to get it asap now I've heard so many good things.
The plot reminds me of the manga Liar Game...

A bit late to the party, but still...
Just beat the game in every possible way. I had a few "WTF?" moments (the most memorable was getting the 'Coffin' ending on my first try somehow, so the reward for my efforts was 'To Be Continued'), but there was definitely a lot more of 'Holy Shit, that's awesome!' moments. There is still one thing that bugs me...
I get the True ending, everything was logically explained there (although it was a bit mind-fucky).
I get it, that in the Axe ending
I get it, that in the Safe ending
I get it, that in the Knife ending
But I completely don't get the Submarine ending
Anyway, great game, I'm going to bug my friends about it until they'll beat it as well...

Clover goes insane after 'losing' her brother and kills everyone (duh! Captain Obvious).
Junpei failed to save young Akane from incineration, and that's why she disappeared, and Zero said he lost the game.
It was most likely Ace who stabbed Junpei
Everyone except Snake - stabbed and killed. Snake - probably still stuck in a coffin. So who the hell killed all of them?

Just finished this game's true ending. Excellent. Definitely worth the $25 I spent on it. Another game that took me a little over a weekend to finish. I love the sort of VNs that operate on this sort of principle, like Disgaea Infinite as well. I hope we get more of these non-dating-sim-VNs over here.
Below is a spoiler about the true ending, so really, don't click unless you've finished it...
This was the first game I've played that used the DS touch controls correctly, in a manner that couldn't be done with Dpad+buttons. I hate it when people (Like Hitmaker with A Witches Tale or Bioware with Sonic Chronicles) use the touch screen to give you a mandatory less efficient interface when the controls could all be done on D+Buttons...

One thing that I don't grok for sure about the true ending. If it was Akane12 who was solving all the puzzles for Junpei, why is it that she gets stuck on the worlds easiest Sudoku puzzle? Was it just the stress of the 18 minute time limit?
My theory is that she didn't actually solve any of the puzzles, she was with people who received the puzzle solutions from the other ship, but when she got trapped in there alone with nobody who was a receiver...
