'Nine Hours, Nine Persons, Nine Doors' (NDS) Pre-Order Incentive - Screens

by Rainier on Sept. 20, 2010 @ 10:47 a.m. PDT

999 is a game that simulates life, or at least it would if your life was about being trapped on a sinking ship and forced to complete a series of incomprehensible puzzles before your practically inevitable death.

Junpei, a fairly normal college student finds himself involved in a deadly conspiracy that he couldn't have possibly imagined.

He awakes aboard an old passenger ferry, dazed and confused he stumbles around the room trying to reclaim his memories. First thing he noticed was a number roughly drawn on the cabin's door… A bright red number 5.

Junpei's memory then returned and he remembered what happened right before becoming unconscious! A mysterious person with a gas mask crossed his mind.He remembered the haunting words he spoke, “I'm gonna make you play the game… the 'Nonary Game' … the game of life or death”.

Customers who pre-order a copy of the game online at GameStop will receive the exclusive Nine Hours, Nine Persons, Nine Doors watch. The Nine Hours, Nine Persons, Nine Doors watch is a replica of the ”bracelet” worn by nine prisoners of the Nonary Game. The watch is made of heavy-duty metal and resilient plastic tubing, with a screen that appears to be solid metal until the button is depressed, displaying the time in bright, red digits.

“You too can sport the watch that the game revolves around, just like Junpei and his companions!”, says Frank ”Bo” deWindt II, Associate Producer, Aksys Games.
