Absolute Honest Review

I have just finished replaying the game, originally on Ds and now here.

If you want a fantastic read, youve come to the right app. This app is brimming with some of the best themes, twists, characters and stories you will ever find.

It is a port of the DS original 999: 9 hours 9 persons 9 doors and if you ever get a chance, I recommend you play it, as it is far superior in all ways but 1.

That one improvement here is the flow chart. It lets you easily skip to the choices you need to make without going through the whole game. Downside, is that it still takes a while for the game to reach the actual choice moment. This is hampered by the (originally optional) extraneous conversations.

As much as I love the elevator scene, Ive gone through it 3 times today and am tired of it.

Another interesting but (in my opinion) controversial addition is the help system. After a play through, the game will tell you the doors you should take next. If you didnt get the Coffin ending, you have to deal with going back through several segments and wait for the slightly to slow auto text feature to work its magic. For the impatient who just want the core of the experience, it is awesome, moreso that it only tells you after your first ending so you can at least get one of your own design.

Finally, the biggest change: the lack of puzzles.

All the major dialogue is there from the puzzles and even a bit of side dialogue, but in reality this isnt what those who have played 999 DS wanna know, they want to know about the final puzzle. Without spoiling anything, the game skips the final puzzle, not allowing you the chance to solve it and kill the tremendously built up tension and emotion. Literally, if it werent for having played it before, it would feel like a bad copout.

This all said, best 5$ spent on iPhone, well worth playing through and enjoy having your mind blown. Definitely recommended regardless of shortcomings. ☺☺☺
