So my friend and I were chatting about VNs and such during lunch today, and she told me that there was an announced sequel to 999: Nine Hours, Nine Persons, Nine Doors. I refused to believe her, especially since I hadn't heard anyone talk about it on LSF. So when I came home, she sent me the links and proved me wrong. Boy, this game is looking as mindscrewy as the first one already
Like the last game, there are a total of 9 characters in this Nonary Game. Returning from the first are Yotsuba (Clover) and the ever mysterious Alice, but I'm not sure if anyone else will appear for a cameo. My friend also told me that these features have been decided as well.
