By popular request, 999 is the game I'll be playing, and trying my hand at a playthrough topic for, next.
Some first impressions from 20 odd minutes so far:
I immediately noticed that the graphics aren't great, but they're serviceable, and I'm not sure why I was expecting anything more from a port of a DS game.
Junpei's dialogue seems kind of hammy so far. Lots of '_ the hell' and the like, though I suppose he's in quite an unexpected predicament. Between that and his English voice acting sounding just like Erik from Dragon Quest XI (whose vocal direction is divisive, as I understand it), I'm going to guess that Junpei isn't the most beloved character.
My pea brain is befuddled about what combinations of numbers open the two briefcases in Junpei's initial chamber. I've found the keys for both, along with a ship cabin picture with clues on the other side and a note with a number-symbol key to make something out of those clues. However, I can't figure out how to put two and two together, or something, and it doesn't help that there seems to be a real-time element crunching me with the rise of water into the room. I guess I'll sleep on it, and then try to figure the correct combos out tomorrow.
