It's a visual novel/puzzle game for the 3DS and Vita, about 9 people getting locked in a strange place and having to solve puzzles to try to escape on pain of death. Very heavily steeped in mystery, time/dimension travel, and all sorts of wacky fake science stuff. It's pretty good!

It's also the sequel to the DS game 9 Hours, 9 Persons, 9 Doors, which you should play first.

If you're genuinely curious, but not enough to immediately go shell out for them, try checking out Dragonatrix's excellent completed LP of 999 followed by Fedule's also excellent (still ongoing) LP of VLR.

Enjoy!

E: The reason it's like Homestuck is that both feature an intelligent rabbit.

If you have a 3DS then buy 999 and Virtue's Last Reward, that's all you need to know. If you don't do that then get the hell out of Games.

Also you could try taking Koos up on his generous offer, unless you're scared for some reason I guess?

Homestuck is also like Virtue's Last Reward because both feature a spin on Schroedinger's Cat.

Hello, Games! It's been a long, long time for me. I really should go about figuring out how to get the LP I did one time into the archive...

I actually just got a 3DS and was considering picking it up. Shame that I can't seem to find 999 or VLR in the estore. I'm guessing that's because they're M-rated?

VLR should be on the e-shop everywhere now (it wasn't in NA for a while but they added it at some point I think?). 999 is not however so you'll need to pick up a physical copy.

Another reason why Homestuck is like Virtue's Last Reward is that the word "Quark" appears at least once* in each!





*The word "Quark" does not in fact appear in Homestuck.

I would play the anime games if they were on PC, but my patience for handheld games is basically non-existent.

Call me when those games out on PC, like the Homestuck game will. Unless they're not on Steam, in which case why bother.

Am I missing something? It's been only about a year since the game was kickstarted, and Hussie's repeatedly put his main creative work on pause to focus on it. Not quite time to call Duke Nukem Forever yet.

As far as I know there still has yet to be any information on who is even making the drat thing. That's pretty worrying to me about the prospects of what we're going to end up getting our hands on (besides plushies for the nutters who paid $500 or whatever).

I mean, Hussie doesn't strike me as someone who would just run with the money, but it's pretty unfair to keep us all in the dark after being so supportive of a kickstarter that was pretty poorly run in retrospect. Even some kickstarters that failed to actually provide a videogame still had intermittent progress updates.

Regy Rusty

I agree that it's a pity he hasn't done Kickstarter updates like many other projects do. It's definitely fair to say that he hasn't utilized Kickstarter in the way it's really supposed to be used.

But I also think we shouldn't flip out too much about it because it's not as though the man himself has gone operation silent. We've got the end of Homestuck coming up soon(ish) and Namco High coming out this month. Once the big one is out of the way, I hope news about the game will become more of a priority for him.

The main reason there isn't any updates on the adventure game so far is for legal/NDA related reasons, unfortunately. Andrew said something about putting some info out before the end of the year, but we are rapidly running out of time.

It doesn't help that WP is pretty understaffed as far as the tech side goes.

It's Secret Santa time here at SA, so every mod was given the opportunity to pick a thread in their forum to swap to a specified other forum. BSS and Games are each other's Santa, so this thread got moved! Yay!

According to some posts I've seen, it's just gonna be a temporary thing. I kinda hope it's permanent because it's pretty fun.

Anyway fanfic dude, your thing looks pretty bad, but I hereby absolve you of your sins. Go in peace.

Ok that is pretty funny. Whatever man, it ain't that bad. I'm probably never going to actually read it past the first few pages when it was linked like two years ago, but at least it isn't something smutty.

I forgot it has that. Why does it have that? I thought only major TV works got a tropes page. I've never read TV Tropes. Also ok it did get archived then.

Also yeah I know it is, it was exaggerated and bloody for fun since I liked the Intermission so much and think ultraviolence is funny, especially with the whole "trolls have 200 gallons of dayglo blood" thing the actual comic seems to have.

Hah, I don't believe that. Majority opinion has been absolutely poor and hateful of it. Which is fine, I mostly did it to play with sprites and have fun with some friends I talk to.
