Finally got this game yesterday because of this thread, even though I'm in the middle of Dragon Quest 9. Definitely putting that down until I get most, if not all, of this game's endings. Only played roughly 3 hours last night and the game starts out awesome from the get go. The last 30 minutes I planned to play stretched into 2 hours and I'm normally a disciplined guy when it comes to stuff like this.

Thanks to the OP for the recommendation and I definitely can't wait for the weekend.

i dont think it will ever be released in Europe because it would need a lot of different language traduction.

On the first try I got the knife end and it felt really strange. i I just hoped for the other ends to explain a bit more and hopefully it was the case.

Again, just PLAY THIS GAME!!

(and ever 17 too)

why is this game so expensive? =/ I want to try it out, but I'm not spending $40 for this game.

It will be the best 40 dollars you ever spend. Trust me the game is amazing and they deserve so much more praise than they are getting.

Alternatively download a ds emulator find a rom hack for it and play it on your computer, it won't be as convenient, but hey you'll save 40$

the game is absolutely worth it though, it hooked me on VNs (I'm about to finish Ever17) I went out and bought it after playing the romhack version just to support the producers.

Awesome game. I played it for a good 3 days to get all the endind and even though the true ending was kinda far-fetched it was delivered beautifully

hey if you guys want another DS game recommendation, check out Ghost Trick: Phantom Detective! Starts out kinda wtf but once you get into the flow of things it's fun. Main problem is that there's pretty much no replay value at all.

Definitely an interesting game, I just dislike that feeling you get sometimes of having to experience the same couple minutes of a scene over again.

Greatest. Game. Ever. I cannot believe I've never heard of this game until now, and it's freaking brilliant. Even though some parts are bullshit, and you have to repeat a lot, the story is brilliant, and the ending is ridiculous.

If this is the only game you play in your entire life, it'd be a good life. The story is just... damn. I got to recommend this to everyone with a gameboy.

To understand this game, you need to do the first 5 endings before doing the final one, because it's just so. damn. awesome. And you'll spoil yourself if you don't do it in the right order.

Warning though, you read more than you play, unless you're a video game hero.

Couldn't stop, even thought "after this door, I go to sleep"...7 hours...and I got an ending

This game is real good, even if the game parts are just an excuse for this to be called a game and not a novel.

Big fan of this game. Hotel Dusk is my favorite DS game, so I gave 999 a try. A couple weeks later, I got all the endings

I love how each ending gives a bit more of the full story until you stumble upon the real ending and everything makes sense. Every character plays a big role in the overall plot, which I wasn't expecting.
