| This will contain major spoilers but i'm mainly doing this playthrough for those of us playing Zero Escape: Virtue's Last reward who care about the bigger storyline. I'll give the jist of the puzzles but not the solutions (if people need those they can ask in the thread). Confusing terms have links attached to them. There's 6 endings i'll post my route through to each one, and give you a jist of the story. Awakening - Spoiler:
The game starts out with you on a boat there's an explosion. Your character wakes up in a room. You get up and bang your head on the ceiling, realising your on the top part of a 3 person bunk bed. On looking around the room you realise that you are in fact on a boat. You have no clue how you got there and your body aches all over, the whole boat is shaking. You are locked in the room and there's a card reader to get out. Turning around you notice a small window... it starts to crack. Water bursts into the room and you realise if you can't open the door you'll drown. The puzzles not too difficult and you have to pretty much just point and click a lot, the game doesn't have a timer despite the imminent threat of the water rising. While looking around the room you see a mirror and remember what happened, your name is Junpei you are a college student when you got home to your apartment you saw the window open, you close it, in the reflection a man with a gas mask is behind you and the room fills with smoke and then you remember nothing. You realise you have the number 5 on a watch attached to your arm, you can't remove the watch. When you do get the door open it revolves around a number puzzle, you run down the corridor avoiding all the water and leave the lowest floor of the ship.
9 persons When you run up the stairs away from deck D, you see you have access to Deck C/B/A. When you get to the top you see 8 others they look like this: - Spoiler:
From left to right Lotus (dancer), Seven (big guy), Santa (white hair), June, Junpei, Ace (trench coat), Snake (he's blind), Clover and Birds nest
- Spoiler:
All the strangers have a similar story. You hear an announcement a man calling himself Zero is saying that all of you are taking part in the Nonary games and to open doors you need to find the Digital Root of a number equal to the door number, between 3 and 5 people may enter. Everyone refuses to play along with Zero's game even when he states in 9 hours they will all be dead, he comments how the titanic survivors had 2:40 minutes to escape. The water level of the ship is not rising any more in fact it is completely still, so the group decide that Zero is in fact controlling the water somehow. Everyone decides to use code names connected to the number on there watch everyone has a number from 1-9, the names are connected to those number values. Junpei is number 5, but it turns out June (number 6) knows him and blabs his name to everyone. Birds nest is silent not saying a word the whole time and won't talk, clover walks up to him and he grabs her and threatens to kill her unless they open door number 5.he touches her hand, his hand and ace's to open the door he runs in and leaves the others behind. The door closes they hear a beep, the man screams about being cheated, and there's an explosion. The others reopen the door, on looking inside the guy has been killed by an explosion, he was wearing watch number 9 btw. Snake states he broke the rules. Snake apparently knows the rules of the game as he has a letter in brail, Zero gave him this as he can't see and is at a disdvantage he has the rules. Essentially 3-5 people need to enter a door, they need a digital root equal to the value of the door, they also have 9 seconds to enter the door and 81 seconds on the other side to hit another reader to show the same people entered. Anyone who does not comply to this will be killed with a bomb being detonated. The bomb is inside them the detonator is in the watch. They can't regurgitate the bomb as Zero made sure they didn't wake up till it was far enough through there digestive system. They have no choice they have to play the game.
Door 5 - Spoiler:
At this point you have a choice door 4 or door 5 these are the only doors you can open, i go with door 5 against the original plan as i wanted to be difficult. I also wanted to go the route the guy who exploded went in hopes this would reveal more info. Unfortunately it didn't the guy was a complete mess and Junpei wanted to get out of there. Your companions are Seven and Snake. Snake is blind but he seems intelligent, also seems like an aristocrat, he has super hearing and his sister is clover. Seven is dressed like a thug but sounds like a cop, maybe he's a criminal its hard to tell. I think cop because for some reason he seems trustworthy, despite being menacing and an amnesiac which would be the easiest way to BS your way through convos. Snake comments on having amazing hearing, being able to run backwards and being tougher than Junpei even challenging him to try him.
I'm in a first class cabin, there's a simple puzzle revolving around playing a tune on the piano, its the chime of big ben. The door opens easily. I'm then in a casino, after fiddling with slot machines and playing baccarat I get through. There's banter but nothing too interesting. The party meet up again in what looks like a giant dormitory.
The Big Room - Spoiler:
Seven seems to think you are on the Gigantic its the sister ship for the titanic, he seems to think this is a hospital boat of some sort. He seems to know a lot but can't explain why he knows this as he keeps drawing blanks. On this floor there's around 50 rooms to search so the group will need to split up. The purpose of splitting up is to fix the locks on the 3 doors in the big room, they are all missing pieces. so they can't use watches to open them. After searching rooms for an hour everyone returns. Lotus was the first back. It turns out Snake is missing. This is a concern as an hour has passed since we first entered the big room and we have a time limit. People are split and some want to leave him behind. You split up to search for snake as clover has a mental breakdown. Talking to clover she is very angry with you, talking to lotus she tries to convince you and june to proceed without the others. Ace seems shifty, but is just walking around. You all return to the room. Lotus has a plan, you sacrifice 1 person to enter two doors. The rooms are 3/7/8. You no longer have Snake (2) or Bird's nest ( . There's no solution to get all people through the doors. Ace says he'll stay back and uses a syringe to knock himself out so no one can force him to proceed or argue with him staying back. You are asked if you wish to go through doors 7 or 8. I refuse and trick the otehrs to open door 3. I proceed with Santa, Seven and June.
Door 3 - Spoiler:
... You find the body of snake he's been exploded. Seems like he must've been murdered as someone opened the door and left him in there unable to deactivate the bomb without the others. Its horrible to find out as he seemed trustworthy, his left arm is on the floor with the ulna exposed and his skull crushed, his watch broken. We proceed. We find out that June and Junpei went to elementary school together. They have a really boring story about waiting to find a guy who killed a school pet. They don't find him. They also reflect on how this was stupid as he'd have most likely killed them. They laugh despite Snake's explosion ripped body being on the floor. Such a lovely budding romance. The door needs keycards and a code its simple enough. On escaping they are back in the big room.... Oh shit lotus looks pissed, she hits Junpei. They tell the others are snake they establish that Zero might be one of the party, because of his referring to the ship they are on as this ship and the fact the system is automated he doesn't need to watch or activate anything. They now have a keycard to use on the lifts. When they open it they are in the basement and in front of door 2.

| Door 2 - Spoiler:
On entering you are in what appears to be a prison block with 3 cells, these are the sealed type not with bars.one of the rooms is dark. Lotus and Seven are your team mates for this section. Seven starts getting flashbacks. He's been here before. The reason he knows so much information was he was a cop looking for 16 kids who disappeared 9 years ago. He was locked in a cell similar to these. He doesn't remember how things ended. How he got on the boat all those years ago was he'd followed leads on a pharmaceutical company as all the children had visited the same hospital. Then he gets captured at the docks and wakes up in a cell. He hears the voices of the children and starts to climb down a grate he hears the names nona and light. He can't remember any more and starts freaking out. He mentions the experiments on the boat involved trying to control people and telepathy. After more puzzle solving you managing to get through a locked door. This time you are in a torture room.
There is a chair that one of you will have to strap yourselves into, Suprisingly Lotus steps forward. She says she doesn't want to waste time because of her kids. Nona... Seven and Junpei realise there is a connection between them. Lotus is a mother of possibly two of the kidnapped children (we don't hear her other kids name). She was investigating it and thats what possibly got her on the boat. After filling her in they have no choice to strap her in as a timer begins. The puzzle is confusing but manageable. The door unlocks and you are free to open the door.
End? - Spoiler:
Everyone is missing. They get back on to the floor with the Big Room. They have a key to one of the other locked doors (these doors have planets of the solar systems as symbols on them, there's lots of them). THey open one and get back to the main starting area of the game. Suddenly they see three dead bodies... Clover, Santa and Ace. June is missing. Seven checks clover's pulse she is indeed dead. They run around needing to find a way out. Lotus freaks out she doesn't want to be trapped in here with a murderer. they look around another door is slightly ajar so they open it. IT leads to a join metal door. ITs not got a handle. When they walk forward it opens. On the floor Junpei sees june she's wounded and bleeding to death. Junpei has a breakdown he loves her and he's really sad. He doesn't pay attention to the others. In fact he doesn't know where they are. He walks back Lotus and Seven are dead on the ground. Junpei chooses to press on. There's a tiny submarine in the water he decides he will climb down to it... Suddenly he feels a hot pain in his back. He is pushed into the water. He's been stabbed. Who was it that had killed him?
I now have the choice to start a new game+ and to skip sections I have repeated of the game. | |

| Playthrough 2 I skip the beginning - Spoiler:
So fastforward the Deck D drowning room puzzle, and the birds nest explosion. I then decide to go in door 4 this time. This makes clover happier as she stays with her brother snake. Junpei is happier as he goes with June.
Door 4 This route is a lot more interesting and I think it teaches us a lot more about the characters. Second Class Cabin - Spoiler:
These appear to be second class cabins this time. There are two rooms you and june are in one and Lotus and Santa are in the other. These characters are a lot more chatty. June is hitting on Junpei hard, she also suggests he's zero as they are the ones who have something in common. Junpei then suggests the same of June who then proceeds to flirt by seeing if she can make him jealous by acting like she has lots of boyfriends, turns out she has none. She also joke about sleeping with him and showering with him. This girl is lacking all subtlety. Junpei making rude suggestions which fly over June's head luckily for him. She talks about Amon ra and her curse to anyone who opened it, she says the mummy was carried on the Titanic and the curse may have caused the ship to sink (I've no clue if there's any truth to anything egyptian on the titanic i'll look into it when i get the chance). She said Amon Ra's body was frozen despite it being carried through the desert and at very high temperatures. Santa is weird he makes fun of lotus who's got serious rage. He talks about how he hates love, hope, luck and destiny. He insists Junpei carries a 4 leaf clover as he's scared of it. I take it (thats a choice). Lotus is really smart, she starts talking about psychic experiments, telepathy and Morphogenic Fields. About how people can actually gain knowledge from those around them its pretty trippy see talks about scientific experiments carried out. She states they might have been unreliable yet there may be something to it. More importantly the solution to this puzzle actually uses an image from one of the experiments, I somehow worked out the right answer I have no clue how given the choice of 6 things how i was right.
Kitchen - Spoiler:
There's more to lotus then meets the eye. She starts raving on about Hexadecimal
. She's dressed like an exotic dancer (i mean exotic dancer and not stripper here), yet shes definitely sharper then the others. This is strange. We then find ourselve in the kitchen. This is horrible... We get locked in a freezer (Junpei, Santa and June), the door freezes shut and lotus can't open it from the other side. June starts talking about ice that is solid at 76 degrees C. Santa is interested. Despite wearing the least clothing and being at risk of dying he encourgaes June to talk. As Santa is weird I decide to let June continue. She's talking about something called Ice-9 and how its ice that freezes at room temperature and is a polymer of water. She then talks about glycerin and some old legend about it never crystalising till the first crystal was found. This is vaguely true, but there's science behind this, if interested PM me on this one or i'll get sidetracked. Anyway she mentions how crystals can effect those around it, so if ice-9 got into the sea it would freeze the whole sea. I think this is a parable to the whole morphogenic fields. Anyway I decide to blow the door open after finding this conversation throughly useless.
- Spoiler:
When you get out of the freezer, it seems that lotus was napping... This is weird. She says she couldn't do anything. She'd have died if we died so its not like she was being unresonable. This is weird, there's no real reason why she couldn't proceed without us. Also lets keep in mind what we know of the previous playthrough. - Spoiler:
-She suggested we split up and sacrifice a member in the previous playthrough. -She was the first back to the big room, just after snake disappeared -She wanted us to proceed and leave others behind when she had a chance -She now seems not to give a shit about us -The she's the mother of missing kids is contradictory to the above, also she couldn't have killed the others in the other ending as we were with her the whole time. However, we never checked her dead body and she was one of the last to die. She's probably innocent but she's definitely not trustworthy.
Junpei asks if she closed the door on them (the door froze on them due to a burst pipe). She gets defensive. Junpei contemplates she could've locked them in to die if she wanted, she hadn't she might be negligent but that wasn't enough to go on. Junpei apologises. Santa proceeds to call Lotus a fatass, he slowly is becoming my favourite character. June talks about a book written 14 years before the titanic sunk which predicted every last detail about the ships structure and the disaster. Yeah this is actually true: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Futility,_or_the_Wreck_of_the_TitanShe starts talking about automatic writing which is basically writing, while being possessed and not knowing you did it as two other books were similar to the titanic disaster. Junpei calls bull, despite early saying he believed in curses. Strangely steed who wrote the other two books was on the titanic, June thinks he was predicting his own future. Its this guy: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Thomas_SteadI think this game will use this future seeing as a reason you need new game+ to get the best ending.

| Big room Same as before chats about the gigantic this time i don't bother talking to anyone and just proceed the game. I decide to go with door 7 and play along with everyone elses plan. Door 7 - Spoiler:
Operating room with clover and seven. Having parted ways with June who seemed tearful Junpei moved into door 7. Clover and Seven are immediately at each other's throats, as clover says Seven has no balls as he's scared of exploding when they run through a door. Seven threatens to kill Clover, Junpei tells them to shut up.
There's a human doll on an operating tabe everyohne proceeds to freak out thinking its a corpse. No one seems to find it funny when Seven suggests its a sex doll.
After finding a bottle of EDT Seven remember something its an industrial strength cleaner. Water molecules started attaching to the EDT after a year, creating hydrate crystals. Similar to the glycerin story everystarts making hydrate crystals instead of pure EDT crystals. From that day forth it was like all crystals in the world were effected. This looks like its getting at morphogenetic fields again. I mention june's glycerin story to him this seems to spark a memory when he hears about ice-9. He suddenly blurt out alice the woman who wouldn't melt is on this boat.
On April 17th the Mackay bennet came to pick up the dead bodies from the titanic. There was a coffin amongst the frozen bodies. They found a body in the coffin it was frozen. This body never thawed and never did, one day it was stolen. It was believed to be sold on the black market according to seven and bought by a man called Lord Gordain. Lord Gordain also bought The Gigantic (the ship they think they are one), Lor Gordain was obsessed with the titanic and bought everything related to it having survived the crash. Gordain bought alice in 1912 and the Gigantic in 1916. He died in 1931, he hid her body on the gigantic. He told no one where.
After solving the puzzles, Clover disappears. She is sulking in the corner thinking she's going to die just like snake (she assumes he's dead as he's disappeared). I give her a 4 leaf clover that was given to me by santa hopefully that will make her calm. Hope, Faith, Love and Luck are what the petals represent.
- Spoiler:
Clover says she'll tell me what happened on this ship 9 years ago... She must've been one of the kids!!! She said there was a psychic experiment on this boat. She mentions Locke's socks adn the ship of theseus my character is confused. Locke's socks are replacing parts of the material until none of the original material is left is it still the same object? The ship of theseus uses the same concept, although I know this is bullshit as I watch One Piece and that explained shipbuilding to me. They extend this theory to cells in our body are we the same person we were born as, as all the cells in our body have been replaced... I think this game could really annoy some people I like it though. She went on to say we could be just parts of food we eat... ok now she's seeming more crazy.
We leave the hallway has lots of locked doors out of one of them emerges the other party. We end up back in the big room.
Let me know if i'm writing this ok or if you feel i'm missing stuff out. | |

| Big room continued: I have 3 choices: - A jupiter key from the operating room - Saturn key card for elevator from the kitchen - Earth key, which lotus found in the laboratory. - Spoiler:
Ace, Seven and Clover decide to go through door 3 as Clover needs to know if Snake is there. I don't trust Ace he's a bit to proactive. Plus he's dressed like a detective but we know Seven is the cop.
Lotus suggests opening the jupiter door as it returns us to the starting point of the ship. Santa took the earth key and went with lotus. Me and june went with the saturn key card. JUne is scared of the elevator as we are on C deck but D deck is flooded and the elevator only goes down. As there is no water in the elevator we assume the elevator is water tight. We proceed. We notice that door 6 is located down here. The others found door 1. Lotus establishes with June and Junpei she can open door 1. We return to see if the others are around. Seven, Ace and clover are looking upset (they would've seen Snake's body). They tell us to look at the body ourselves. I liked snake its a shame i can't save him.
Back in the big room they establish zero is likely among them and killed Snake. Clover says she thinks zero is one of them. This seems significant now when we consider she may very well have been part of something similar in that experiment 9 years ago. Ace states suspecting each other may cause more trouble than its worth. We also have the elevator card to now get to door 2. We decide to vote: Ace wants 1, Santa wants 6, Clover wants 1, Lotus wants 2, Seven wants 2, June says 6. Mine is the deciding vote. I've been through 2 at that got an awful ending so i'm hpoing one of the other two has a better one. I decide door 6 this should hopefully put me with June, hopefully I can save her this time. This seems to work I'll go with Ace, Santa and June through door 6 (ace is the only person i've not spoken to). Clover, Seven and Lotus can go through door 1. Oh crap this is the basement I don't know if i like that. Oh well.
Room 6: Steam Engine Room - Spoiler:
On entry june collapses she has a fever. OK this room is huge and i can't find anything to even pick up. This is strange hopefully the puzzle isn't going to be too hard. June isn't able to stand and is sitting on the floor. I'm working my way through the puzzle slowly. Ace doesn't seem to talk about himself at all. Santa says that June is normal and we're weird we all should be falling to pieces doing this instead we run around solving puzzles without being effected by the stress of the situation. Its a bit 4th wall there. Junpei leaps on Santa when he calls us guinea pigs and asks if he's talking about us being part of an experiment. Santa decides to make jokes about looking up skirts while standing under stairs, I guess he's pretty calm about all of this. June while looking like death wants to help thats probably going to end up with her dead i don't like it. Ace tells Junpei to go down adn get June Santa says all three of them could go. He waits at the top regardless. I don't trust ace I think he's gonna do something bad. He's the quietest out of the characters ans seems to agreeable.
I get june and head to the exit. Santa is on the stairs with a picture of his sister. He says she was cute as a button. He said he was her Santa Claus, he is annoyed by June joking. He tells the story of two Santas one who gave gifts to good kids and one who played tricks on bad kids. Black Santa apparently made his tricks get worse and worse till white santa stabbed him. This is the reason for santa having red clothes (apparently Coca Cola does not exist in this universe, I'd hate to live there). Red on santa is all thats left of black santa and he says he wonders which he is. We go up to the exit adn end up in a cargo room.
Cargo Room: - Spoiler:
This room is weird there's cards with our pictures on them. Ace stiffens when i decide to use the cards to open the boxes... I don't know what to make of that. The boxes open each box had a sewing pin. These are used for a maths puzzle. Then another one starts. Then a sliding puzzle... Well I did it I hope this ending isn't bad, it seems harder then the last.
I'm about to open a Coffin. Santa yells Mummy everyone craps themselves, he then says just kidding. Inside is a key and a golden revolver. They agree on leaving the gun there. As it is too dangerous. I don't like the sound of this what if we need it for a puzzle. Personally i'd have said you guys take the bullets i'll hold the gun. But Junpei might be on to something lets see. I use the key to leave the room.
End? - Spoiler:
We appear to have done a full circle of the basement of the ship we are going to take a lift up i think this should take us back to the starting point. We decide to continue along the corridor. We find a door the room takes us to the door number 9... This is where the exit supposedly lies. There are two number 9 doors in this room though... They do the math figuring out digital roots. There was a way for all 9 people to complete the nonary games going through the two different doors. This is means anyone who resorted to killing may have screwed themselves out of the exit. Although that said this was pretty obviously going to be the case, kinda cliche in these kinda plotlines.
In my current team we have Ace Santa June and Junpei. Our digital root is 6... however if we leave June behind we can get to the exit... Santa and Ace agree to not leave her behind. We leave the room to return to the beginning point. However on leaving the room, Junpei realises he looks like he's at an altar and at the top is a coffin. The others call he leaves. There's a knock from the coffin that junpei doesn't hear.
On finding the others we discover that Clover has been lost she split off and had proceeded without the others by blocking a door behind her. We run through the boat in search of clover. Junpei and June search the big room together. Junpei has the awful idea to split up. He didn't want to use the nickname for her from 9 years ago Kanny so he'd been calling her june even when she said don't. A lot happened 9 years ago.
I return to the basement, Junpei is hopeful... He opens the door of the elevator to find Lotus dead in the basement. I hope a mummy didn't kill her, because that would be dumb. She's been stabbed, I hope the golden revolver isn't some legend like silver bullets for a wolf. Ace would benefit the most from gaining the number 8 bracelet... Suddenly Junpei was stabbed. Junpei never saw his killer. I'm starting to suspect June. She was the last to 'die' in the other ending and she would've been able to get out with lotus's bracelet plus Ace's.
Apparently that was the Bad End, the other ending I got was the Submarine ending.
This time i'm going to assume June is the killer and try to avoid going with her at each opportunity. I think its either her or Ace. I think I can avoid them both if i navigate a certain way fingers crossed. This playthrough should be super fast.

| Playthrough 3 - Spoiler:
So i started again, this time going through room 5. This time i double checked the safe before leaving the room, Snake states its weird we didn't open it to solve the puzzle, but we don't know the combination so we can't open it either way. Something I didn't think about on the first playthrough Seven says he will prop open the door so we can come back, he's made a habit of this through every room he goes through. Maybe he wants to get to the safe? He mentions wanting to play the piano which is obviously a lie as the piano in the room is not functioning properly. There's more to it.
Did the casino bit, that was quick. Got to the big room. Spoke to Ace this time. The conversation came up that clover and snake don't look lilke brother and sister even though thats there claim. Santa is wondering who fiddled with the door devices adn then fixed them. It seem all a bit strange. Ominously Santa says the one you trust the most might be the one who stabs you in the back. He's standing next to June. This goes in line with my two most likely suspects. Anyway this time I'm going Door 8.
Door 8: Laboratory - Spoiler:
Lotus doesn't like Clover I'm inclined to agree I can't stand her. There's a weird robot mannequin in this room and it seems to scare Lotus. Clover is insisting something bad happened to Snake as he'd never leave her behind. Clover gets real pissy and storms into another area of the room and gets sealed in. Clover comments on the fact they were experimenting in this other room. Apparently Lotus works with computers, this makes her outfit even weirder. She can also touch type. Here's a pic of the scene:
- Spoiler:
Junpei couldn't believe it was so easy to get away with staring at a girls boob while she was busy staring at the computer screen.
- Spoiler:
Lotus tells Junpei she's unemployed but used to work for a cyber security firm, which she quit from she won't tell him on further questioning. Again we start talking about wireless connection, this is most likely going on about the morphogenetic fields again. Anyway Lotus writes a computer programme in an attempt to brute force the password this seems dumb, because surely this would mean only she could crack this puzzle. I guess this could allude to her knowing more then she lets on. She compares how our brain maybe an output device akin to a monitor and maybe we just think it is the source of calculations, i.e. the main body maybe elsewhere. Jumpei thinks to himself her current ideas sound like a weird cultish religion. She starts using this analogy to explain Seven's amnesia then talks of Prosopagnosia, a condition where you can't distinguish between human faces.
Clover starts asking if Snake said anything weird to me. We find out as a kid he became blind in an accident and injured his arm, its a fake arm. Um Clover just set her side of the room on fire... I hope this is supposed to happen. Uh being the hero I decided to run. Luckily the fire unlocked the door. We all meet up and get back to the big room, this should pan out like last time but this time i'll go into door 1.
- Spoiler:
I seem to have triggered some hilarious dialogue, you can skip this paragraph i'll just type what is said. Junpei thinks June is scared of entering an elevator alone with a guy. She then tells Junpei she might get wet. Junpei is taken aback and June replies "Down there.... I'd get soaking wet...", Junpei replies thats how it works. He says he's never heard of anyone getting soaking wet somewhere else. June agrees and asks if he minds. Junpei replies he might like it. She calls him brave. He says he thinks any guy would do the same and you've got to take chances. June thinks he's so cool and admires him. He doesn't understand why she'd admire him for that. She's scared. He comments on the fact she's never done it before she agrees. She doubts she'd last very long before its over and she'd go to heaven. She talks about how this will make head fuzzy adn she'll feel like passing out or at least thats what people describe. Junpei has heard this tom but doubts guys have the same reaction. June says it should happen to men to once its gets into your body its the same. Junpei says usually it doesn't go inside the man. June says you don't have a choice, your body will force you to swallow some of it eventually. Junpei asks what she's trying to do to him. June says she's going to do nothing to him, its just a psychological reaction to what you experience. Junpei thought maybe that was how it works, maybe he misunderstood life, Junpei was terrified. June said most men have larger lungs, so even then they couldn't hold there lungs for 20 or even 10 minutes, after that you'll get a floaty feeling and pass out. Finally Junpei understood what june was talking about. That the elvator was going down to submerged floors so they might drown.
- Spoiler:
Wait a minute, we see Snakes dead body? But his left arm is described to be torn open showing the ulnar. That would make that a real arm. So where is the fake arm? Is snake in fact alive is this a double? I don't know but this has brought up some interesting evidence. If Snake is bad though that definitely implicates Clover. Clover was very suspicious in the knife ending as she tried to run off and do her own thing. We also know another thing. In room 5 it is possible for Snake to comment that he could beat Junpei in a fight. This means he should be capable of defending himself and would unlikley be thrown into a room to explode (to clarify snake would've died by being thrown into a room he activated with at least two others he then would have to have got stuck in without them so only his bracelet activated, he would need to have been fooled, yet he was supposed to be more than capable of protecting himself). I hope i'm not wrong as i'll feel bad accusing him he was kinda cool.
Anyway I am going to go through Door 1 this time.

| My current theory: - Spoiler:
OK so update on my theory. I'm still suspicious of Ace as he talks little. Snake most likely has had not been killed and the body was a fake, this does not necessarily incriminate him. As Zero could've faked his death. I don't know why. I'm hoping I get a good ending this time. If not my theory is door 5 > door 8 > door 6. The reason is door 6 got me to door 9. Door 5 lets me talk with snake and door 8 means clover reveals that snake's arm was not real and hence might reveal he did not die. Also in that path Clover leaves and does her own thing. If i do all those actions maybe she'll find snake or something. Its a theory. I'm hoping i'm right. Well thats the plan if this end messes up. The other path i need is to do all that stuff with June/Santa/Clover. Where I talk about Ice 9, i get the clover item. Logically I should go room 4/8 then 6 or 1 (i'll see after this ending) for that, as that again will lead me to door 9. It also gives me all the important dialogue. I'm hoping this will give me a different ending.
Door 1: - Spoiler:
At the vote I choose Door 1, the only puzzle room i've not entered aside from room 9. Santa accuses me of cheating turns out he's right. Junpei had held 3 pieces in his hand to get whatever outcome he wanted. He doesn't get caught he did put a vote for door 6 in the pot though hence i didn't know junpei was trying to manipulate the vote. Clover Junpei and Ace go for door 1. This time after Lotus and Seven fight and get scary Seven comments on Lotus being old again and she sounds super vengeful.
I'm near the top of the ship there's a steering wheel, maybe its the bridge i'm not good with nautical terms. I decide to yell at Ace for asking me to much he laughs and shrugs it off. Clover is being weird and quiet. Ace has busted me on my cheating... He doesn't care. Junpei has been getting head pains.
We are in what appears to be a communication office. It has a telegraph capable of transmitting morse code. We are outside the Captain's quarters, and we suspect Zero might be on the other side. Ace and Junpei are nervous, Clover who hasn't spoke in ages suddenlysteps up and says we won't find out unless we open it. She opens the door.and find a dead body on the floor. It has been attacked with an axe. The body has a bracelet with the number 0!!! Junpei asks Clover if she thinks the dead guy is Zero she says I told you Zero is one of us. She tells me to hurry, Junpei thinks he catches her smile... Clover on seeing my hand says I have a short life line... She's creepy.
After solving one of the puzzles I find a red book saying "ALLICE" this was what people on the titanic gave as the name for the mummy that never defrosted according to Seven, in one of the other playthroughs. He'd mentioned that lord gordain had the mummy on the gigantic, the ship we are on now and no one knew its location. I wonder if this means we'll find her location? The book is full of hieroglyphics. Ace confirms this. We found the Uranus card in the file it says "bottom deck library" on it.
I'm stumped, going to take a break this is the clue and I need to get an 8 digit number from it. The second line appears to be hexidecimals. I don't know what to do with the 3rd and 4th lines though... Clue: - Spoiler:
012345678 0123456789abcdef 0123456789abcdefghijklmn 0123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuv
Its clear 6 letters are added each time but i don't see how to get an 8 digit number. If i tried to digitise and then get a digital root i'd only have 4 numbers. I'll try not to frustrate myself and come back when i can think of a solution.

| - Spoiler:
Oh I feel a bt stupid. On clicking round the room I found out the clue according to clover was actually the monitors and not the piece of paper I picked up. Obviously the piece of paper is meant for something else. Hmmm... but i haven't used it in that room.
I wonder if this is the ending. Please let it be good, i hate how my super sleuthing seems to get me killed every single time...
End? - Spoiler:
So i'm running down a corridor and find some paper so i stop running to pick it up. Its a map of A deck the floor i'm on. Ace is behind me. Clover has disappeared. She's back at the door and she's got something in her pocket. Junpei asks what she's hiding. Clover has a big wooden stick protruding from her back as she runs past... Uh I don't like where this is going. I am back in the central are of the ship near the top. I look down and see Ace, Santa, June, Seven and Lotus. Clover's next to me. THey've found door 9. This certifies that I need to go through door 6 to get the best endings. I really don't like where this one is going I have a bad feeling. There's still 90 minutes left before the game ends, Junpei thinks only 5 can get through the door 9 not all 7. Clover says we can't all escape we should investigate door 2. Oh crap I hope Clover and Snake aren't the killers... Santa, June, Seven and Clover goto door 2. I'm left with Ace and Lotus. Ace being one of the people I don't trust and I think Clover is carryin an Axe because I saw that stick I really hope i'm wrong. Or this will be messy. Ace wants to go somewhere with Lotus... I really don't trust him, I personally don't want to let this happen. Lets see what Junpei does. Ace says he'll show Lotus and then me... He's wearing a flasher mac, I'm genuinely frightened, Junpei responds fine becaue Ace smiles. I think Junpei is stupid.
- Spoiler:
They've gone for a while only clover returns from the party who went to door 2... Oh crap. Junpei asks where the others are and while smiling she says you really want to know? She says I'll show you and throws something out of her pocket. Its the bracelets of the guys she was with.... This means they must have all died as its the only thing that lets you remove the bracelets. OMG i just ahd a massive revelation, I'll post after all this ending. Clover says she killed them for revenge only Santa and Seven could've opened that door with snake this was revenge. By extension she must've killed June as she was there. Clover offers her hand with a crazy look in her eye. Clover also picked up the watch for the captain with the Zero on it. She says with just them two they can open the door number 9. Junpei describes her as both a demon and a goddess he see a light in her... She took his hand and sliced him with the axe... FFFFFFFFF-
My new theory: - Spoiler:
Lotus and Ace with watch 9 could actually get through a door 9. This revelation of stealing watches means a lot of trickery can happen. Also I just thought about it, if they need an arm for a watch. Wasn't snakes watch on a prosthetic arm? This means a lot of trickery could take place.... Uh I dunno, we could have a snake fake double, I dunno as we know he's blown to pieces but that left arm in door 3 was real therefore that can't be snake... Ace seems bad really bad. I'll have to work out the real mystery here. Clover was bad in this ending, in the previous ending with everyone being stabbed in the heart clover disappeared... She could've used a scalpel and not a knife. Ok lets piece this together. Clover was able to get an Axe from room 1 and possibly a scalpel from door 7 (she lingered in both after I'd left). So the best course of action is to get her in door 8 and take her door 6 if possible... OK so i'll go door 5 with snake, make sure i talk to him as much as possible work out if i can get to the safe. I'll then go door 8 with clover and try to be nicer to her, then i'll go door 6. She shouldn't have a knife in that scenario. I know for a fact she waited around in room 7 and room 1 and both had weapons. This might be the only way to avoid her getting a weapon. I dunno if i'm assuming she won't be bad if she doesn't get her hands on her weapon, but given the circumstances anyone with a weapon might go homicidal to escape. Clover's motivation for killing was to avenge snake she clearly isn't the big bad.

| Playthrough 4 - Spoiler:
Just realised that the knife could be found by anyone. Because the 9th man aka Birds nest had one. So anyone could've walked back the room 5 route and picked it up. I'll stick with my keep Clover away from sharp objects theory first while trying to find out lots about Snake.
In Room 5, this whole Snake is searching for something as he hears something funny is really bugging me I wonder the significance and the mysterious safe. This game is pretty deliberate with everything. I possibly made a miscalculation with my prediction for getting a better ending regardless of what i do, Clover is always found in the first class cabin after the split up looking for snake, this would give her opportunity to grab the knife from the 9th man. Hmmm... well if she doesn't have the axe maybe i can appeal to her better nature...
Anyway I go through Door 8 and on to door 6, nothing different so far.
Door 6 Steam Engine Room: - Spoiler:
santa starts talking about an experiment, this is new. A square C shaped tank, filled with enough water to drown rats. One exit is dark so the rats couldn't see, exit B is electrified so you can't leave thruogh it. Ace says rats would go through exit B as they do not know its electrified. Eventually the rat goes to exit A after trying a few times. They repeated the experiment with hundred of rats over several generations. With each generation it took less time to find the correct entrance. Eventually a rat just went directly to exit A. Another laboratory conducted the same experiment with the same result, except they found exit A quicker, these rats in there first batch were unrelated to the other rats in the first lab. This goes back to morphogenetic fields and greater conciousness etc. Junpei asks why they needed a threat of drowning and not just a reward. Santa answers in an emergency, inspiration emerges.
Santa tells us more about is sister this time. After the two santas story. His parents died when he was a kid, he was like a dad to her. Every year he'd get a christmas present and lay it on her pillow on christmas eve and she'd wake and and run to his room christmas day with the biggest smile. He always gave the present she wrote in her letter to Santa he always encouraged her. He would use a fake address in North Europe and the letters would be returned to him saying unknown address. This guy is a genius i'm gonna do this, nice suprise for any kids. She then wrote one year "I don't want any presents this year. Instead, I want you to make my wish come true. My wish is that we will be happy like this for a really, really long time." Honestly I got a feeling we're going to hear something bad, I hope this story doesn't end and then she died. Phew... He said he just couldn't make that wish come true, some santa I am. Junpei doesn't want to ask questions as santa looks so sad... June however does... He answers, "She died... She was killed 9 years ago". Oh crap was she part of the experiment 9 years ago?!
Cargo Room - Spoiler:
Another change. This time when i get into the cargo room June collapses. He asks Ace to open the boxes in the room (something he did himself last time). She has a fever. Santa says if we escape Ace can hook her up with medicine. He's the presdent of a pharmaceutical company (Cradle Pharmaceutical), IIRC this is the company seven was investigating. I knew Ace was bad. Santa says there flagship product is a drug called Soporil (this is the anaesthetic that ace uses to knock himself out in the bigroom midstory). I think this confirms him to be zero as he most likely had something in his possession from before the game although he insisted he found it on the ship. Santa said he got this info from Ace himself. Junpei is suspicious of Ace. Ace says he's struggling with the boxes as he has presbyopia (laymans terms his vision is bad due to aging). Junpei wonder about prosopagnosia the inability to see faces that lotus mentioned (i went through this the first time i went through door . Junpei considers keeping Ace's condition to himself. Game continues, on opening the coffin in the cargo room this time we still don't take the gun.
Room with door 9: - Spoiler:
Again on leaving the room to meet the others we hear the knocking from what looks like a coffin on the altar, none of the in game characters hear it this time either though. Clover has gone missing like has happened previously when i got the knife ending when i went through door 6 last time.
New stuff I go with june to search for Clover. We can't find her when we look in the big room, Junpei suggests searching in the shower room this time as he believes clover migt have gone to see her brother again. Junpei clicks, that Snake's arm is a real arm, but his arm was prosthetic. We run around a bit and bump into Seven, he says that Clover is dead. She was found in the first class bathroom. She'd been stabbed with a knife. Junpei is upset he should've been able to save her. Ace, lotus, Junpei, Santa, Seven and June are all in the first class cabin now. Seven said he discovered the body and yelled for the others. I don't think he's bad. Junpei accuses Seven because he is the one who propped the First class cabin door open allowing people to return and he found the body. Seven states he wanted the room open so they could access the safe. The safe shows signs of being opened on reinspection, this wasn't the case earlier in the game. Junpei decides to go out into the corridor where the body of the 9th man was. Someone had taken the 9th mans bracelet the watch with the number 9... Seven gets Junpei he had searched clover body and found something a piece of paper in her hand.
End? - Spoiler:
The paper says: Truth had gone, truth had gone, and truth had gone. Ah, now truth is asleep in the darkness of the sinister hand. Sinister hand refers to left hand. This might have something to do with bracelets with number or snakes hand i'm not sure. You deduce this is a reference to the bracelet. The words truth and gone can be replaced with right and left. He inspects his bracelet there are two buttons. He presses them in the order of the piece of paper a code number appears on his watch. He tries it on the safe. There's paper inside. It says: - Quote :
Fact 1: The Nonary Game was played once before, 9 years ago. Fact 2: The person with the number (2) bracelet attended the game 9 years ago. Fact 3: It was planned by the following 4 people: Cradle Pharmaceuticals CEO - Gentarou Hongou (This must be Ace) Cradle Pharmaceuticals Chief of Staff - Nagisa Nijisaki (could this be june?) Cradle Pharmaceuticals R&D Supervisor - Teruaki Kubota (Lotus?) Majority Shareholder in Cradle Pharmaceuticals - Kagechika Musashidou (Maybe Santa) I must punish them. For the innocent lives they sacrificed. This is the only warning they will receive. That innocent souls might be saved, I now state the truth --- Zero Junpei thinks he's found the culprit, we have only one hour left. He leads everyone to the big room adn door 3 where snake was killed. He deduces you don't need to place your hand on the device to open the door just have your arm near it. Junpei asks Ace who he is. Ace says Junpei, but Junpei replies i'm actually Santa. This confuses Ace he insists he has the 5 watch so he has to be Junpei. Ace losing his cool reveals that he can't recognise the others. Junpei accuses ace of killing snake. He continues when Ace said he'd not come along the others couldn't go through door 3, which showed snakes dead body. As the dead body is not snake then that means that the person who killed him couldn't recognise his face. Junpei says snake had a grudge against Ace, Santa interjects and Junpei shows him the piece of paper. Ace said someone is framing me. Junpei says you just admitted you are Honguo the CEO. Ace says he'd need 3 people to open the door. Junpei says but i took something off you while you slept. Ace grabs for his inside coat pocket. He fell into another trap. Junpei says it was you who took bracelet 9, with that snakes watch and your own you could open door 3.
- Spoiler:
Ace having been busted is now making a creepy face. He says the number 9 bracelet was most important. It does not alter the digital root of a number. He had take the knife and bracelet from the ninth man. He had come across a man dressed like snake who appeared dazed and he used the door to kill him. He thought snake hadn't recognised him as snake was blind. This makes sense now. Ace had most likely escaped with lotus (or killed her) in the Axe ending. In the knife ending Ace would have killed Lotus first so he could escape on his own. WE find out that Ace killed clover as he thinks she found something behind door number 1. Lotus punches Ace. Crap Ace grabs lotus and pulls out the gun from earlier. Ace comes clean he convinced the 9th man to get killed, he said that the dead can now be deactivated by one person alone. Hence he tried to run in alone, the 9th man knew what happened 9 years ago so snake kiled him because of that and to get his bracelet, he also wanted to see if the bombs were real. Turns out Ace hosted the Nonary game from 9 years ago. Ace grabs lotus and runs, he can open the number 9 door with her. June collapses again. Junpei and Seven chase after Lotues and Ace. They get to room with the number 9 doors, one of the rooms has people inside. They hear the kncking while in there. Its from the coffin. There's a keypad. Seven suggests the number might be the same as the safe. The lock opens. Snake is inside. I suspect snake chopped off his arm in the last nonary game even though he don't remember it. I think the only way to get out this time with everyone is if we do the same to santa and Junpei, Seven and June try to open the last door. Seven has the number 0 bracelet. He can get through with snake using that. He wants to test the door mechanism, he's blatently going to run through. Weird. It doesn't work Snake suggests the Zero bracelet might have a readout of another number. The number of the bracelet is 6, Snake and Seven can get through together. The boat starts to creak.
This is sad Junpei, Seven and Snake run through, Snake says he ahs a last resort i assume it means removing his arm. June could've gone through with them to. I feel most sorry for santa though. Snake said he kept his prosthetic arm a secret as if he revealed it no one would trust him. He removed the bracelet from it. They run down to a room which is an incinerator. They enter. There's another number 9 door. Ace and lotus are already there. Ace reveals he killed Clover and enjoyed it and Snake goes insane. Snake runs at Ace and is shot. SNAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAKKKE. Lotus uses the opportunity to break free. Ace says he'll kill us all. Snake gets up. Ace shoots all his bullets at snake. Snake dropped down, a hero to us all. He crawls towards Ace. Snake said we're going to burn to death together and refused to let go of Ace no matter what he tried. Lotus and Seven tell him to let go and come with them, he turns with a sad smile, he says he can't do that. He says he needs to atone for clover. Junpei tries to get to snake but seven restrains him. Seven knocks out junpei. He runs them out. Ace and Snake are incinerated. Junpei walked back and said he'd bring Santa and June. He looks everywhere but they weren't where he left them. He finds june in the chapel she appears to be dying. She says she loves him. Suddenly he hears an announcement its Zero... Game Over. Junpei says he lost and Zero replies no I lost. He hears a door close behind him and rests June on the floor, to see if it was Zero. He walks out and back in, but June is missing. He screamed for her. He smelled something it was knockout gas.
GAME OVER
There's a definite possibility that June could be Zero I as right to assume Ace with no backstory was bad. June seems to have no connection and my only connection is June.
The game ending is different it asks me if this is the end and then suggests I can actually now get a much better ending.

| Playthrough 5 - Spoiler:
I'm going through Door 4 this time, going to trigger the convos about fields and ice-9 and grab the clover. I will then give the clover to Clover in door 7. Then I will proceed through door 1 to avoid ace getting the gun and splitting up with clover, although I am still scared about her getting the axe.
In door 4 I find a new fact. Junpei wonders if they are on the actual titanic. It was mentioned elsewhere taht there were 2 sister ships one was the gigantic. Apparently there was a theory that the Olympic was sunk a sister ship instead of the real titanic for insurance fraud. The Olympic was used as a passenger liner for 20 years before being dismantled June debunks his theory. Santa mentions he's a stockbroker, when you answer strangely to one of the questions. Santa mentions having bought shares in Cradle Pharmaceuticals. Like I suspected he was most likely mentioned in the letter in the safe.
Any finished the second class cabin and kitchen behind door 4 nothing else interesting. Then I went on to door 7 during the search for snake. No differences. I went for Door 1 deciding this would mean that Ace couldn't get the gun.
- Spoiler:
On entering the Bridge this time, I decided not to yell at ace for interupting, this made me talk with Clover. She started telling me who she suspected and as in the axe ending she says it must have been Seven and Santa. However on entering the Captain's room, Junpei decides to look at the body. He starts commenting on the fact that the guys still looks alive unlike the people who exploded and he still remembers the bone protruding from Snake's left arm. This make clover yell. Junpei doesn't realise why, in this path I have not had the conversation about the prosthetic arm. She leaps at Junpei and hugs him. Giving her the 4 leaf clover is revealed to have given her hope.
Ok huge reveal, that speech that Santa gives about the 4 leaf clover is related to the experiment 9 years ago. Apparently only test subjects know it. Her and her brother were in different experiments 9 years ago. But as he's blind and she was in a different area they can't confirm who the previous people on the boat were. 9 years ago the experiment was related to morphogenetic fields. To access a morphogenetic field you need danger and epiphany, this seems to be related to Santa's comments on the mice in the tank. The Nonary game is a human equivalent. The epiphany and danger makes this information easier to transmit. Ace comes in and interrupts the name of the person who died on Snake's boat (I have a feeling the person will be Santa's sister). Clover doesn't want Ace to hear any of this. Junpei finds the Allice book again and then remembers that Seven said that Allice was said to be hidden beyond a forest of knowledge. Junpei had found a keycard that goes to the library maybe it was referring to that? Junpei tells Ace all about Allice as there is no real reason to hide it. Ace asks him if he's heard of CAS (cells alive system), it allows freezing without the formation of ice crystals. Basically when you freeze something the expansion of water as it turns to ice damages the tissue, using this method of freezing under a magnetic field the tissue would not be damaged the aplications include cryogenic freezing. Ace is suggesting if Allice was brought to a temperature of 96 degrees a temperature where ice-9 would thaw she might be brought back to life. He is suggesting she killed the captain, because no one else had time to amongst the 7 of them. We left the captains room like last time but Clover reveals she found a note on teh captains body. Its the note that gives you the code to the safe. If you fiddle with your watch. Her pocket had more than just a note in it.
Main area of the ship and moving to the chapel where door 9 is: - Spoiler:
Everyone meets up again. June reveals she has found door 9. There's 90 minutes left of the Nonary game. Santa insisted that Lotus and Seven could not leave June behind, but June corrects this and says he was the first to object. Junpei notices the coffin. They realise that despite 2 doors with number 9 they can't all get out. They'll end up leaving 3 or 4 people behind. Seven steps forward and tells them they can all go without him. He'll stay back. Lotus gets really angry and calls him an idiot. Everyone objects. Then Santa points out he didn't object. He pulls out a gun and says they are all going to leave 3 or 4 of them behind, he grabs June. He tells Ace and Lotus to come with him. Clover asks aren't we friends, you knew about the clover? Junpei just wants June safe and tells them all to go. They go through Clover, Junpei and Seven left behind and they hear knocking from the coffin. Junpei has an epiphany and rememeber the writing from the paper (from a different ending) and fiddles with his watch. Fiddling with his watch reveals the code for the coffin. Snake emerges. There's a touching reunion between Snake and Clover it says so in the game. Junpei does not know how he knew the information he had, Clover had the paper but she had not shown it to him. Junpei could not work out why there was someon murdered in the captains cabin or who was dead in the shower room. With Snake in the party they can now open the other number 9 door. Junpei wants to know what happens if we add zero's bracelet to our combination of watches. By fiddling with the door they realise that the captains bracelet was number 6. This makes them suspect that June's bracelet is 9, this also means all this digital root stuff can't be true. Then snake points out Santa has gone every route with june and he refused to leave her behind. This makes Santa's number 0. It works out every single door no matter the route, santa has always gone with June... This worries Junpei though this would mean there were two number 9s in the game... They proceed through the door. They then move forward to find the library which Junpei has the keycard to.

| Yes Library: - Spoiler:
There's a vast library, Snake seems to literally know about everything, he is definitely the best character in this game. They bring up Sheldrake and morphogenetic fields again. Snake tries to be secretive but junpei tells him not to keep secrets. Snake said on the card he was given with rules it specifically told him not to tell anyone about the events from 9 years ago. Tell and I activate your sister's detonator. Snake says Santa is very likely to be zero and if he knew about the 4 leaf clover he was originally in Snake's group 9 years ago. He says he doubts Santa would kill them at this point.
Junpei tells Snake what he knows, the nonary game took place in two places at the same time 9 years ago. Nevada and the ship they are on now. He knows a girl died and that clover was in Nevada while Snake was on the ship. The original game was hosted by people from "Cradle Pharmaceutical". We know the 4 names in the safe. I'm certain 2 of the dead bodies were working for this company. The experiment wa to see if they could control humans by sheer will. He speaks of how all the strange phenomena mentioned in the game basically tells us there is a resonant event a type of field that connects and transmits this info. The whole concept is that the more people that doa thing or know a thing the more this will pass on to people. The company running the experiment want to acquire this power on an individual basis. He talks of the Ganzfeld experiment people in different rooms shown pictures and the other asked to identify. The company established which children were more likely to be able to do this and they kidnapped them. They took 9 pairs of siblings hmmmm, Seven mentioned 16 children being kidnapped does that mean 2 of them were connected to the organiser like zero is in this one. THe Nevada group were considered the children better capable of transmitting and the people on the ship the receivers. This was when they established epiphany and danger increased this transmission. The transmitters were in a mock building the nevada group. The receivers were on the boat and in real peril. Apparently when apollo 13 came back to earth NASA used a replica on the ground. Junpei comments on the 16 kid kidnapping, Snake says there were 18 and that two of them had no family to report them. This was most likely Santa and his sister and santa's sister is most likely the child that died. It turns out that the child who died 9 years ago was called Akane, this is the name that Junpei calims is June's real name...
Study: - Spoiler:
We're in the room, where all the puzzles are constructed. Its a mess and we need to find a keycard.
I find a picture it has the 4 members of the company on it. One of them is ace, another is the captain, another the guy from the shower room and the last is the 9th man. These were the guys who setup the nonary games. Junpei feels he knew all of this already, I guess the game is semi 4th walling and trying to make us understanding. Seven reveals he's a lone wolf detective and he has regained his memory after seeing the photo.
Seven tells his story of how he investigated the disappearance of the 16 children it led him to cradle pharmaceuticals, then the docks, he got captured, put in a cell and then he entered a ventilation shaft to get to the children, he heard a warning about an incinerator. Seven looks into the room there's bunch of kids amongst them are Nona (lotus's kid), Snake, Santa, Akane. Seven grabs a rope when he gets back, some of the kids left through door number 9. Akane, Nona, Snake and Santa climbed the rope. before the incinerator activated, Ace watched from outside the door and wondered why the kids weren't in there. Ace sees them escaping and screams. Seven takes the kids inside the ventilation shaft, and turns down a different route they end up outside the incinerator. Santa says that Akane isn't with them. Santa runs back down he wants to find her, Seven says he'll go to, Snake doesn't want to leave behind them (Nona who i assume is lotus's kid continues on her own). When they get down Ace is hollding Akane and wanted to push her into the incinerator. Ace threw her into the incinerator, it closed shut. Seven stopped talking, he says he hadn't remembered. They obviously couldn't get the girl out of the incinerator. Junpei says are you sure she died, so Seven says what he saw. The boy walked into the incinerator and saw the remains he screamed. Seven says the name of the girl was Akane Kurashiki... That was June's real name. Santa who's real name is Aoi is June's brother. Snake says he knew Seven was the detective who rescued him, but as he was not allowed to reveal info on the game from 9 years ago he said nothing. It has reached 6 o clock there hear ths ship creaking so they have the keys and run out having to cut the conversation short. Having worked out 3 of the people in the picture are dead they realise Ace will most likely be murdered next.
Incinerator: - Spoiler:
They run to the incinerator they see Santa and june both on the floor. Ace has sucker punched Santa he now had the gun and holding lotus hostage. Ace can't recognise Seven due to his inability to recognise faces. Ace opened the door with lotus and the number 9 bracelet. Ace says he should thank zero. The door won't open. Seven leapt on ace. Junpei starts talking about how Ace killed the 9th man to see if the game was serious and to keep his identity safe and to get the 9 watch. The second man he killed as he thought it was snake and he suspected he was working with zero or might reveal his identity. Begind door 1 while Junpei was talking Ace knew the solution to all the puzzles having been the host of the games he used the time while they were distracted to kill the last man. Hence the reason the last man had been so obviously dressed as Zero as Ace could not identify him and would assume anyone with such identifiers would be Zero. Ace gave Junpei a piece of paper is said he could survive in one of 2 ways. Either win the nonary game or confess his sins of the past 9 years. There was a camera in the captains quarters which he was to use for the confession. Ace killed everyone as planned by Zero. Zero had got his revenge without any blood on his hands. Junpei said Santa was Zero, and he did it for revenge. Santa replied he was Zero's assistant and the Nonary game was for saving his sister. But Akane died 9 years ago. They turned to look at June she had disappeared. The point of the Nonary project was to test morphogenetic fields. He speaks of the project the people on the ship were the receivers, but his sister Akane was a transmitter and put on the ship by mistake.
- Spoiler:
Santa says Junpei should know why. Junpei must be a receiver. Zero is able to pluck knowledge from morphic fields even those from alternate timelines, that is why Zero knows everything from every ending now. In 9 years will be Zero. Zero is using this info to help Junpei.
Santa picks up the gun, and points it at ace he leaves the incinerator. The remaining 5 are Seven, Junpei, Clover, Lotus and Snake. With there numbered bracelets, opening the final door 9 in the incinerator room is impossible unless they leave lotus behind.
Someone speaks he says morphic resonance started when Junpei first entered the boat and woke up. The person talking must be Zero. He will become Zero in 9 years time. He must be from the original Nonary game. Zero is picking up Junpei in the future. From the sounds of thing Zero is Akane. Zero tells the story of the Nonary game from 9 years ago the children on the gigantic are fighting A boy named Light (Snake) stops them he is blind. He has four 9 leaf clovers that he was picking for Clover his sister for her 9th birthday, it was difficult for him to find them as he was blind he gives each of the players a clover and tells them, they each have to get off the ship to rescue there siblings and be reunited with them. He said they need trust, love, faith, if they hace those in there heart good luck will come their way. The completed the game and got to the incinerator. There was a door with 9 only five of them would be able to escape. My brother Aoi said the room was going to burn (this confirms Akane to be Zero). Thats when Seven appears. They escape the incinerator while running out Akane has dropped Junpei's present so she runs back. She finds it and is grabbed by Ace and taken into the incinerator. Ace uses to bracelets on the door 9 and runs out Akane is locked in.
We're back in the present as Junpei the same is happening. Except a computer rises in the middle of the room. Junpei and Akane are seeing exactly the same thing 9 years apart. A sudoku looking puzzle appears on the screen. Akane can't get any more info from Jumpy... although this is strange as we thought Akane was a transmitter. Maybe what makes her special is she can do both. Akane needs to solve the puzzle to escape. The 2 bracelets Ace had scanned were 1 and 3 Akane is bracelet 5, if she solves the puzzle the door device will work and she can escape. Akane takes Junpei's present out of her pocket its a doll and she prays for him to help. Junpei starts screaming for Akane and he gets a reply (we don't know if the others can hear they most likely can't). Zero is Akane and Zero's purpose for hosting the Nonary game was to save Akane as a child, so she'd be alive in the present. Now there's a sudoku puzzle luckily i'm good at that. After solving the puzzle Akane can open the door. The door in our room however is not a 9 its a q. So we need all of our bracelets and that will open the door. Snake, Junpei, Lotus, Clover and Seven all get out in time.
Back in time Akane escapes and is reunited with her brotherm she is thankful that Seven had saved them all. In the present Junpei is escaping with the others, they then find out they were in fact in the Nevada test facility... There watches fall off they take a look at them, there wasn't a detonator on there watches. It was all fake. A car is left for them so they just drive away from the facility. Ace is in the boot of the car. Ace says he ran the Nonary game to access the morphic field in hopes to recognise faces. Junpei wonders if there is a historical discrepancy because Seven remembers things differently, he considers Akane was somehow there in the present due to him accessing the morphic field. They drive down the road and see Allice. END.

| Here's just the answers to a couple of questions that might bug you: This is in game script covering what Zero is essentially: - Spoiler:
The answer to that is easy. He knew because I knew. Junpei was receiving information that I sent to him through the morphic fieldset. It's simple, really. How do I know the alternate futures, then? Imagine a river that splits in 2, like an upside-down Y. The river flows from the top to the bottom; from a single stream into 2 branches. It only flows in one direction. It can never flow backward. Information is the same way. It moves from the past to the future, but never flows backward. That's why people at the river's source, in the past, will never know about those downstream, in the future. But the people downstream will never know about one another either. Information only flows along the path of the river. But I am different. I can manipulate the morphic fieldset to pluck knowledge from the future. I know what happens on either fork of the river... ...Even though the people on either fork know nothing about one another. Now... Who am [I]? I am [I], the 9th letter of the alphabet. But I am also [Zero]. ...No, that's not true. I'm not really Zero. Not yet. Perhaps you could say I am...[less than Zero]. Zero is my future. In 9 years...I will be [Zero].
Also the reason Akane/June disappears from the incinerator is she sneaks out before the door closes. The feeling faint is meant to represent the risk of Junpei moving away from the timeline that will prevent the paradox of June/Akane not being there. | |

| This isn't about 999 but I don't think it's worth making another thread and it's kind of related anyway.
VLR is pissing me off. Who the hell would pick betray? Wankers. | |

| Ok, so this is pretty interesting. It's genuinely the first game of its type I've ever played, and I'm guessing that first time through I'm not going to get anything like all the answers. Thus far, I've gone with doors 4 and 7, and whilst I don't think all the puzzles are necessarily all that logical and do require a lot of trial and error, the characters are well written and I'm intrigued to see where it all goes.

Yeah the game does that well, nothing said is irrelevant as far as I remember so hopefully you've been paying attention. | |

| How bold. - Spoiler:
Found the final door... Our should that be doors? Santa pulled a gun on June and went through one of the doors withAce and lotus, leaving Junpei Clover and Seven in the room with a coffin thatsuddenly starts banging loudly. There is no way to open it aside from inputtinga code into the panel on the side of it. And then the game ends. Noidea what I did wrong but clearly that isn't how it is supposed to end!

| Ooops deleted your post i was meant to put a spoiler tag because I thought it gave away something, but yeah I remember, I did luck out though and not have to see that.
I can't remember if this one is like VLR and you actually know whats going on until that part of the game. You come across that 'thing' quite frequently in VLR.
EDIT: Simian just let us know what endings you get then we'll give you a heads up in case you miss something. | |

| This doesn't give away any details but it is in effect a walkthrough of the entire game so view with caution. I suggest just playing the game and only using it as a last resort. - Story Flowchart:

| before you look at that chart sim, just think to yourself was there any branches you didn't try the alternate choice with, because that gets you most things.
There's 5 endings (6 if you include the inconclusive ending you got) | |
