I like the anime style, but the opening is kinda meh to me. No word salads?!
If they thought 999 was 'meh,' then which are the adventure games that they think are as good as we think 999 is? xD

I like the new trailer - I guess this will play at the start of 999 when you load up the game?
The use of English words surely means it will be localised soon. It MUST! xD

Ever17 was released in the US, though. In fact, it was one of the most well-known VNs here for a long time because of that. The only reason it's less well-known now is that it's so hard to get because of the US publisher going bankrupt several years ago.

I've only done one ending at the moment of 999, but at the moment the story-telling in 999 feels to me very much inferior to Chunsoft's own Kamaitachi no Yoru and 428 ~ Fuusa Sareta Shibuya de. It's not just the big picture, even compared only to Chunsoft's own adventures, 999 feels a bit off, I think.

... Mmm... I'd reserver judgement on 999 until you've gotten all the endings. I'm not being sarcastic when I say it totally changes your perspective on the game.
On the other hand, I've never played other Chunsoft adventures, so perhaps you're the better judge then I.

This is going to get outdated really fast and make me sound stupid, but Ill update as I go.
Ok, that's the best I can do for now. I don't know Japanese. The second someone better posts a more-detailed breakdown, I'll axe this one. I'm really only posting this here because I'm forgetful, and need to verify what I saw.

Wouldnt it be cool if, in addition to alternate endings (I bet there will be some if not more than 999), you could replay the game from the POV of a different character which would also affect the game's story arc and outcome?

So a KH: Chain of Memories approach? Depending on how it's pulled off it could work really well, or suck.

All I can say is, thats a lot of endings! Suddenly the trailer I saw doesnt look so spoilery after all.

I think what they're calling "parallel world" is just the morphogenetic field again or something like that. Or maybe they come up with another explanation this time.

Take the number 2, (For help and betray) and find the power of two that comes closest to, but not under 24.

We hit a contradiction. Although, I don't think any of us doubted that there would be dead ends, and thus options we're never allowed to follow.
Also, assuming this map is accurate, it isn't, but lets assume so the points you'd get for any given streak are:
Help/Help: +10
Win Betray: +15
Loose Betray: -5
But considering you start with 3 points, a loose streak is impossible.

So it looks like both choice of door and choice of betray/cooperate affects things.

Still... Doors? It looks like from the map, that doors and co-op/betray run on two different counters. Meaning, that fact that you were helping or betraying has no effect on the game's path you take. At least, until you reach the inevitable mortality, which would theoretically conveniently occur off screenshot.

I guess you can also choose to replay any part of the game from this menu (so you don't have to replay the whole game to get a different ending).
It's seems obvious that the first three branches (from the top) depends on the door (red, blue, yellow) you have chosen.
Then there are only two branches at the next branching and no door symbol, so I don't know why there is a branching at all. Maybe that depends on whether you chose to betray or not. Note that the right branch don't offer a choice (or maybe just a later choice we don't see on this image).
The third branching then again depends on the door choice, but this time only two choices are available, so maybe you choose between the two remaining doors you didn't choose the first time?
But you see there'll be many choices and many branches, because that image only pictures the very beginning of the game (only one "escape room").

Maybe to get the true ending (?) you need to start over totally though, who knows?

Now, what I want to know is, would the CMY doors in each branch all be the same? Obviously you might solve it with Alice one time and K another. But I'm not sure I want to solve those rooms 24 times over, particularly if the only difference is small talk.
Also, I'd argue the doors are not red Yelllow and blue, but Cyan, Magenta, and Yellow. Those are the primary colors of print, sans black, which would be marked with K. Hence CMYK. I wonder if there's a connection with our friend K.

Do you see the small frame around one of the squares? That means you can at least "select" the different stages.
Btw. here is a video of the Good People Die Demo for the Vita.

As for the doors, groups of 3 can combine their bracelet colors to choose which one to enter. If I had to hazard a guess, the two-way splits are help/betray points, but don't quote me on that.
I wish I WERE the best.

Not necessarily.
In the AAI demo they also used some tracks from older games, which weren't used in the final version.

Alice looks more like she's wearing a flesh coloured bra + necklace to me, rather than no bra + necklace :o
