Is it similar to some extend with 999 ?
Or is it more like a visuel novel + investigation?

I agree with Alex here. I wasn't a fan of 999, enjoyed the full story ( or what I have read on Wikipedia ) but found the gameplay dull. Here its really involving and even when you make a bad ending you can sometime go back and play differently, instead of just the same puzzle and a new dialogue choice. The endings are a lot of funn too btw! the spoken dialogue makes a huge difference as well, really adds to the ambience.
although its not so much a visual novel as it is an adventure game with tons of dialogue and a few pictures here and there. I think.

I liked 999, quite a bit, but any attachment you had from it came from a text crawl. The actual puzzles were pretty lousy and very few and far between and you felt really detached from choices you made
This type of gameplay im really digging. It's like 2d survival horror without any shitty combat. For the writing, thus far the characters are fairly lousy, as is any narrative driven by them but the lore and scenario work is really good stuff from my few hours.
I'd have liked to play more but you know... The holiday... Plus I'm a goddamn wimp and I take it slow. Game does a good job of doting on things that do actually scare me instead of just gore and jump frights. They do a good job of making you feel so fragile and human and really pile on such a ruthless atmosphere.

Thx, that's longer than I expected. Now I'll just have to wait till it comes out in Europe

People seem to like me because I am polite and I am rarely late. I like to eat ice cream and I really enjoy a nice pair of slacks.
Wish someone made a walkthrough for Chapter 2 though, kinda getting lost. Spoiler:
Anyway, the game is pretty scary alright, despite it having an animu RPGMaker presentation.
Is the teacher supposed to "die" after holding on to the Power Stone?

This looks so good, I'm actually tempted to go through all the hassle of buying a USA PSN card and changing accounts on my PSP...

stuck in chapter 1
:-/
edit:
just got into the infirmary and can't seem to progress the game any further
where is the washroom?
edit:
after leaving the very first room I had put the board to go north instead of south, is there something I had to do to the south and how do I get there?

Stuck on post infirmary Chapter 1 again, argh.
So after
So after
escaping the ghost in the infirmary, Noami ends up on 3rd floor where she finds Seiko hung in the bathroom stall. I got out and get the pail to use as a footstool, but when i come back into the bathroom, Seiko is dead. Then 3 child spirits appear and make Naomi eat scissors and she dies. All this happens pretty much in a cutscene. I cant leave the 3rd floor, cant go into the boys room to see any other option. What am I missing??
Before the infirmary shitstorm you must visit the classroom 3-A (you need another key) and look at everything
Vague answer:
Don't listen to everything the ghosts tells you.
Detailed answer:
Get into the room with the newspaper, you have to read it, even though the scribbles on the floor say not to read it. If you read it, that scene will play out differently.

Oh god, so I missed something? I thought I visited all the rooms. Guess I need to go back. Thanks for tips guys.

newspaper part

bathroom and the ass cream scene, am I supposed to do something while she's in the bathroom?
Chapter 2 is gruesome as fuck.
The voice acting when the dude was getting buried alive gave me the chills. You almost feel his throat filling with dirt, it was so vivid.
It's a shame the boy ghost walking around is such an instakill, though. He's really tricky to pass at certain parts of the hallway. I haven't finished the chapter yet because he got me for the fifth time last night and I was too frustrated to continue.
I also read all 5 of the notes. Eurgh.

Dude, you're making me hungry. <munch> <munch>
Someone else said this was a bargain at $20 and I completely agree. The only spot where the game feels "budget" is in the character sprites and that's just because of the age of the original game.
Everything else is excellent. The audio is especially top notch and really helps to sell the atmosphere and complete the package. I can see why this came out as a full priced PSP game in Japan and why it's garnered critical acclaim and made a number of fans.

Remind me to never play this at night with headphones on ever again. Dead ends are the worst (got the one SpaceBridge did).
Game is now reserved for playing during the daytime when other people are awake. I'm having a good time with it outside of getting really creeped out, though. Dialogue is great, and the audio is amazing.

Trying to grab all the endings. Anyone know where Memoir 5/5 is in Chapter 2?
EDIT: Nevermind got it! Looks like I didn't look at 4/5 beforehand.

I guess there's no way to keep the teacher alive, is there? So sad.

Que? I gave the
power stone to the two student who were in the same room as her, but she died later when that ghost knocked a cabinet on her.

Not giving it to them traps them later.
In other news since I'm redoing Chapter 3 for ID tags I was wondering if those jumbled signs mean anything?

Didn't keep track myself but VNDB's entry says around 10-30 hours which seems around the right amount of time accounting for various reading speeds and getting stuck.
http://vndb.org/v2632
For those in Chapter 3 looking to get all the ID tags: Don't read the 4 memoirs available to you before the last area.
$20 is the sweetspot for me. I'm looking forward to picking this up later today. Do you have to play through a lot again if you die? I hope not because it leads me to decision paralysis and faq lookups.

her not giving the students the power stone pretty much locks you into a bad ending no matter what since one part is inescapable without it.

Guess I have to do the chapter again then. Will this affect Chapter 3 and onwards?

Anyone know how to get the last star ending for Chapter 3? I'm stumped.
In that you get to continue I suppose.

Just started playing this, I'm finding it enjoyable
so far. I was apprehensive after the praise that piece of trash 999 got here on GAF.
Anyway, I'm only on the first Chapter still but I have to ask, and it's probably been covered already but what the hell is up with

the ass cream part? It's approached so non-chalauntly I had a mental double take. Is it a cultural thing or what? I've never heard of the dry asshole phenomenon anywhere, especially to the point where someone would carry around cream for it.

Cleared the game 100%!
One thing though it glitched one of the student ID tags at the end of Chapter 5 with prevented me from 100%ing the ID collection.
Looked it up on the Japanese wiki and examined the corpses where it said it was and getting it was a no go.

So where can one get the pc version? It's the same game, right?

Try going to the right area, avoid the bathroom... And then return to the bathroom area.
PC version wasn't localized, and this version features more things.
Well shit, who knows, this game is so cryptic.
Also the chapter 4 ending is totally awesome.

I want to like this game, and I still do, but honestly, Im finding somethings to be too obscure for me. Im stuck, again.
Chapter 2 spoilers:
Chapter 2 spoilers:
So, my teacher is dead, I gave the power stone to the two students, who are wandering around. Found the nail remover in the creepy long classroom, with the child ghost. Made the mistake of looking into his eyes, and I died. Redid it again, and didnt do it the second time, but after leaving the room, the girl student becomes possessed and runs off. I find her in the entrance way of the school, where she snaps out of it, Leave the entrance way and now the ghost kid is wandering the halls. I cant seem to progress further, as all halls everything in the school is a dead end. What am I missing?

Go back to the room where you started Chapter 2 and use the nail puller on the door slightly covered by the cabinet, use the machine, then go to the long room where you saw the ghost child.

Thank you. Honestly though, how do you guys know to do this? I mean, its just so random and obscure.
