I am crying. This game has literally brought me to tears. I've never seen such a clever use of the DS. Only on this medium would the game make sense. When you flip your DS upside down to finish the sudoku Akane's reflection mirrors your own perfectly. In that one scene where you are both Akane and Junpei it's just too much. No other game has kept me so engrossed in it's story. The presentation was flawless. | ||

How can akane exist in the present if she died in the past?And if she didn't die in the past, then why does she need to create a second nonary game to ensure that she lived? I think what the developers are trying to say is that akane lived by talked to junpei in the future, but that doesn't make any sense. That's like going back in time and having sex with your mom to become your own dad. =/ The game was awesome, don't get me wrong, but that's such a ridiculous plot device. | ||

indisputably, the storyline of "im in the present and you have to connect to the past and then fix it for childhood me so that i can be saved instead of destroyed so that i can be here now, and i know how all that has happened even though i am alive now so i must not have been dead then, but if i am alive now what would be the point of going back?" is a train wreck. BUT, that being said, the presentation, the build up, and the cast of characters, the dialog, as well as the integration of the nonary number lock system and the murder mystery makes the game really fucking awesome. if the plot was a bit more solid, i would be overjoyed. But as it is, despite the plot failings, everything else was flawlessly executed. | ||

However, all it allowed her to do was cheat the timeline; unless she could bring about the exact chain of events which resulted in her past self being saved, a paradox would occur and she would cease to exist. Until the point at which her past self's life was saved, her existence in the current timeline is artificial. If anything, it seems more unreal to me for Junpei to receive information from another continuum's version of himself at virtually the same point in time (when he suddenly knows what to do with his watch at the coffin). | ||

I think 13 is a bit too young to really understand the game, but if you think he can understand it, it might freak him out a bit but I dunno if it would be traumatizing =D | ||

Ever17= weak/ confusing build ups, awesome and amazing ending. 999= awesome build up, weak ending | ||

As said by certain people, you really feel that the same team wrote the two scenarios ^^. spoiler (for 999 and Ever17) + Show Spoiler + For people saying the storyline does not make sense with time paradox, i think you probably need to see the thoughts "travelling" from junpei tu akane as Blick Winkel in Ever17. Like something that is above everything and that can see all the possible timelines and parrallel universes. That's really how i managed to get a decent explanation out of it | ||

I wish I could just forget about school for the rest of the week and just play this awesome game. EDIT: Just finished this again (it's so quick when you just skip the parts you've already seen and the puzzles aswell are superfast) and I somehow managed to get the same ending AGAIN. TT So now I've gotten twice the ending with + Show Spoiler + Everyone dying and Junpei dying at the room with the submarine. The first time I just happened to choose the door with "2" on it, since I got a choice. This time I didn't even get to choose, I forced myself to the door "3" (that was the one where Snake was found dead) and eventually just had to go to "2" again. I guess I shouldn't force myself to find Snake the next time, just go for the other doors and in the drawing just choose another door. I gotta say, quite frustrating to have complete the game twice and I still know so little about the story. Oh well, another round coming up later in the evening. | ||
