holy crap. this game was amazing. i started playing nine hours, nine persons, nine doors last night at around 3 am yesterday, thinking it would help me go to sleep. instead, i played through the entire game, eventually sleeping at around noon the next day. although the text rolled a little slow for my tastes, the unfolding of the mystery kept me up all night.

one thing that really caught me off guard about the game was the violence/gore. i am usually pretty ok with those sorts of things, but the inclusion of those themes in this game was unexpected and brought with it a sense of suspense that the game really benefits from. looking at the box, i now realize that the esrb was m for mature, but honestly, this is one of the first games i have played that the label feels appropriate. i am anxious to play the game again, because my first playthrough opened up a lot more questions than answers.

on a side note, a king egg roll opened up near me and i think i gave myself a stomach ache from eating too many.
