Currently playing 999: 9 Persons, 9 Hours, 9 Doors. I've gotten two out of six endings so far. So far, it's been an amazing experience. I don't really get what it is, but the game is really immersive. The escapes, or basically- the puzzle gameplay, is great, but not innovative. It's familiar territory for puzzles games on the DS, but I had to admit that I had a really hard time putting this game down. I guess what makes it so exciting that the exploration IS the puzzle in 999's puzzles and I really love the feel and atmosphere of trying to figure out how to enter the next room. The feel is just so brilliantly done because of 999's amazing premise and really gripping story, and I don't think it would have worked as well anywhere else. And speaking of story, I think it's been great. All of the mysteries of the game and trying to piece everything together as I unlock more and more ends has been really interesting. Conspiracy theories, pseudo-science, and interesting astrology references have been circling my head since I've started reading it. I've been sharing my theories here and there with a few people who have finished it up.
Also picked up Persona 3 Portable again because I've still yet to finish that game.
