There are two separate keys, a blue key for the blue briefcase and a red key for the red briefcase. Hint for the red key... check the mirror 
You'll need to find the two notes and another item in order to decode them and discover the passwords for the two suitcases.

Yeah, I got both keys. I have the paper with the triangles and numbers (back of the boat picture) and I got the other paper, the one that seems to display the code order. However, I try the numbers in the same order as the geometrical forms, from left to right, like the arrow is pointing. It doesn't open

It's been a while since I looked at it, but I think the color of the arrows indicates that you need to swap the codes, or something like that.

You have to take the two notes with the colored shapes/arrows and create a blue arrow and a red arrow from them both and then form a password from the shapes from the combined blue arrow and from the combined red arrow in order to get the 4 digit passwords for the respective color suitcases
Ranger X said:Ok I opened the door. Demo ends there. I am all excited now. I will buy this I guess.
Seriously, thanks for releasing such games. It's so good and they are so few!!
Congrats on beating it
! Yeah, I love 999, so hopefully we see more games like it appear in the US!Shiv47 said:
Awesome! Make sure to come back to this thread and visit when you start playing, if you have any questions

Well, I wasn't part of the translation/editing per se, that was more so my amazing team on the project. I'm actually the localization producer for 999
But I know what you mean And I enjoy talking with all the fans/potential new fans about the game, since it's exciting and fun for me as well. It helping with the fan fervor is an added bonus

I like this point of view. Publishers and devs don't realise it much that nowadays, in this network communities / over-communication era, being close to your customer is having an incredibly more positive effect than anytime before.

OT for a sec, but yeah, I think integrating yourself/bonding with the very people you're trying to sell your product to is essential in this day and age. Much easier to spread the word when people have familiarity with you in one way or another than them thinking of you as someone in a business suit with a big question mark over your face (a.k.a. not nearly as appealing) :lol
Though I enjoy talking about our games, as well as countless others, so much that I'd still do it regardless
Back on topic though, only one more day until the game ships! Hopefully you all have it pre-ordered or are at least ready to buy it in the near future because it's really a great game!
And I hope everyone loves it as much as we do, after playing it

Aksys website posted that it's shipping tomorrow. Hope I get my game soon. Can't wait to see the watch too.

Do you know if the publishing in Canada is billingual? For most Atlus stuff or other niche games, some publishers don't make billingual packaging for Canada and in this case, there's no store carrying the game in the entire province of Quebec. (wich means at least the cannibalisation of 1 tierce the Canadian sales!).
I just hope I won't have to buy over the internet or something and have to wait longer. :/
Ranger X said:
Unfortunately it isn't bilingual, which will more than likely cause Quebec to reject it (silly I know
) I apologize that it isn't both French and English, since that does impact those who live there and elsewhere in Canada >.<Also, the Launch trailer is up on our site now for your viewing pleasure!

All Quebec requires is the bilingual packaging - otherwise the game can't be displayed on shelves.
Sucks sometimes
I know at least one store that should carry it nonetheless. Otherwise it's VGP!

God, that is so dumb. As a Canadian citizen who grew up as an anglophone, I still can't believe how stupidly Bloq Quebecois asserts its dumb laws on the rest of the country.

There are always ways. I know a store that doesn't display the boxes for the customer to look at them so they will totally have your game.
EDIT: Nice trailer by the way. Not that I wasn't already sold.

I'm glad you enjoyed it

I beat one of the endings last night and just started my next playthrough The nice thing about starting over to get the other endings is that you can speed through any scene you've seen before by pressing right on the +Control Pad.

Oh, I was always under the impression that it was. Nevermind!
I'm going to take some time off work tomorrow and drive around looking for 999 (canceled my Amazon preorder because the shipping estimate was the 18th)

Akselziys said:Well, it only ships tomorrow. Depending where you live it may not arrive until later, so maybe you should call places first
I work from home. Taking time off work isn't a problem, anyway.

Ok now that's a good feature. Not having it would have prevented alot of people (me included) to try alternate routes / paths.
Ranger X said:
Yeah, you definitely want to get
every ending and the full experience

Ah, lucky guy
At least you can relax and play 999 in the comfort of your own home then Shadow Red

999 is out! Still waiting for mine to arrive. Anyone got theirs yet? Any comments on the watch?
Just wanted to let everyone know that Nine Hours, Nine Persons, Nine Doors ships from our warehouse to retailers today!
So depending where you live, your specific retailer may not receive it until a few days after.
If you guys have any questions about it, please feel free to ask!
I hope everyone enjoys it as much as we did working on it!

Yes, and we can start speculating on the character's pasts. It's like Saw...no one is really innocent...right?

Flawless Victory...that is amazing! Now I seriously can't wait for the game!
Not much better here. I'm in Ontario (Toronto area) and the stores here are saying that it doesn't even ship until next week. I then went to order it on amazon.ca and the shipping estimate is from November 29 - December 29! What the hell!?Ranger X said:
