Yea , I'm gonna wipe my vita save file and read through it sometime before the new game. I would revisit 999 but I'm remembering having a notepad file open with the specific prompts I needed to hit on my 4th playthrough and just spamming through all the text I've already seen...it would be hard to revisit. I remember the final puzzle being amazing though

The structure is bizarre and also pays off narratively in probably the most insane developments in a video game I've seen. Nobody writes game stories like the VLR guy

are these games really serious and grim

They swing wildly from comic to dramatic in a really well done way. Closest analogue is probably Metal Gear's tone but a VN

can u play this without doing 999 first ?

I did because VLR was a PS plus game at one point and I didn't know it was a sequel. I definitely missed some stuff , and some characters are in both, and the overarching narrative definitely seemed insane to me because those bits were building on stuff from 1. But 90% of the game is self contained so you'd be alright

I think actually the worst part about playing VLR first was trying to get all the endings in 999 later when you have to just tap through alllllllllll the text whenever you wanna try a different path instead of the really sick system VLR has

I think the first timeline I ever went down had the book with joke spoilers for the rest of the game and I felt really smart thinking I had everything figured out after 2 hours and then when the actual ending starts rolling out I was flabbergasted

According to HowLongToBeat.Com, the average playthrough of 999: Nine Hours, Nine Persons, Nine Doors takes 9 hours to complete :staredog: :bernget:
