Discounts
Every price cut of more than 20% we have observed, in each market that quoted one, with this game's chart position on either side of it. These are episodes, not a model: a sale is one event, and one event cannot tell you what the next one will do.
Reviews, worldwide (the counter carries no country): 2.43/day in the week to Sep 4 → 2.71/day in the week after.
For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Poland over the last 30 days: the 21 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 12 places towards #1, and the 2,501 moves with no price cut behind them went 1 away. One store, one chart, one country — it is the only place we have enough observations to say even that.
Prices outside the United States have been collected since 6 August 2026 and chart positions since 19 July 2026, so a cut older than that has no market to compare and a market that joined later has no history yet. Nothing here is converted between currencies.

Incredible story and good puzzles. Can be a little predictable sometimes but keeps you in the dark most of the time.
Just amazing game it's so well thought out the entire twists of both games are amazing there's no need to go in details because you can only experience it if you play it yourself. A friend of mine recommended me it and gotta replay again it's too good the entire trilogy

打越铁粉,每一个作都玩过很多遍。
我喜欢999远超善人死亡 999故事很完整,该有的伏笔好好揭露了,带一点科幻元素,结尾也很圆满,眼看着就是主角团和男女主走入幸福生活的起点一样,玩完也心满意足 然而善人死亡......把前作幸福结局的期待推翻了......可恶我不想恭平和茜最后就这个样子 而且善人死亡的背景变得更玄乎,我觉得多少有点刻意扩大世界观就为了整点悲剧让这个能力和这个逃脱游戏再出江湖 而且一堆谜题没解开,就说去玩第三部吧一切结束了,恭平和茜也远没有再深谈,就这么结了???我感觉观感很烂,我还挺喜欢这对的结果结局就这样???可恶 叙诡还不错,两作都不错,不过我感觉还是第一部初见杀通过这种方式改变过去的观感最好最震撼,第二部改变过去又是这个方法多少有点审美疲劳,虽然也有不错的解释,但是比起煞有其事折腾得貌似很大场面的第二部背景,感觉一个本质上还是利用同一个能力达成类似的目标的谜底,多少差点什么,也挺遗憾
An amazing game. I was playing the 999 on DS and Virtue Last Reward when i was kid. The story is incredible, the characters are endearing, and the puzzles are cool. It's definitely one of the best series of its kind.
Esse é o jogo que """inspirou""" YOUR TURN TO DIE mas, spoiler, é muito melhor. Claro, estou falando do que eu joguei, o 999. Ele sabe balancear puzzle+visual novel como ninguém. Só joguem e tirem suas conclusões. Infelizmente não tem para português, mas tem dublagem e legenda em inglês. Sou péssima em quebra cabeça, mas ao contrario de outros jogos você não precisa de nada além dele para resolver eles. O jogo até te da uma CALCULADORA, vê? Recomendo MUUUUUITO, to quase zerando e comecei a jogar há 4 dias.
卧槽
Juegazo en especial el primero goty 10/10 pero esta en ingles para que sepan, no se si tiene parche al espanol investiguen
Both games fully playable on Steam Deck. I used the most recent ProtonGE as of writing this. 999 works pretty much out of the box after switching to GE, but VLR crashes unless you switch to OpenGL in the launcher, which can only be done in desktop mode. Good escape room/puzzle mystery visual novels. Puzzles in 999 are pretty simple but there's a good increase in quality for VLR. The story itself is good across both games, but I'd recommend using an ending guide for 999 since you can spoil some of the reveals depending on which endings you get. VLR expands on 999 a lot and has a longer story but with more padding and parts that drag. For 999 I recommend playing in NVL mode to not miss out on narration, but it comes down to preference. Flowcharts are present in both games, as well as voice acting. If you like these games the final game in the trilogy, Zero Time Dilemma, is also on Steam.
All of it.
