Games don't get as fascinating as this one. An escape room puzzle game that is just FILLED with pseudo science, conspiracy theories and wikidiving that Uchikoshi went on at 3am on a tuesday night. 999 is a world that brings up outrageous theories and plays with the idea of them all being real, creating this seemlingly fascinating and fun adventure that throws curveballs on you at every turn. The greatest strength of this game though, and Uchikoshi's writing, is writing the absurd whilst also anchoring it down in humanity and this is the reason why 999 peaks above all else in its genre. It's a perfect blend of the out of ordinary with just the ordinary, a fantastic mystery that ends on a high note. Love it.
