About This Game Kidnapped and taken to an unfamiliar location, nine people find themselves forced to participate in a diabolical Nonary Game by an enigmatic mastermind called Zero.
Why were they chosen to put their lives on the line as part of a dangerous life and death game? Who can be trusted? Tensions rise as the situation becomes more and more dire, and the nine strangers must figure out how to escape before they wind up dead. The note says that Snake participated in the First Nonary Game. Junpei then realizes who the killer is. He brings the other five remaining players to the Large hospital room.
Junpei reveals you don't need to place your hands on the scanner panel to activate the RED but merely using the bracelet works as well. Junpei then asks Ace who he is. Ace says he's Junpei, but Junpei says he is Santa claiming they swapped clothes. He asks Ace why he thinks Junpei is Junpei and he says because if he was Santa, Door 3 wouldn't open. Junpei capitalises on this, calling it strange, and reveals Ace has Prosopagnosia, which he reluctantly admits.
Junpei believes that Ace is the killer, and tells him there are three pieces of evidence to support this. The first, Junpei states that Ace used Soporil on himself on purpose in order to prevent the others from going through Door 3, which would reveal the death of "Snake". Ace denies this and says he was just acting altruistically. Junpei argues that he knew that the doors would lead back to the hospital room, but Ace denies this as well. Junpei then reveals his second piece of evidence: he believes the killer has Prosopagnosia because he killed Nagisa who Junpei calls Guy X , who was wearing Snake's clothes.
He states that someone who could differentiate human faces wouldn't make the mistake Ace did. He reveals that Clover told him Snake had a prosthetic left arm, and that the bone in the left arm Guy X's corpse in the shower room was exposed. Ace states that he has no motives, but Junpei says he has two motives. The first being that Snake knew about Ace's past and the second being that Snake had a grudge against Ace due to the First Nonary Game , and that he might strike back.
Santa asks what the grudge was and Junpei shows him the paper he got from the safe. He reads part of it which says that the person with the number 2 bracelet played before and that it was organised by Gentarou Hongou. Ace says he was being framed, and Junpei uses this to his advantage, saying Ace's real name is Gentarou Hongou. Ace asks how he could have killed Guy X, saying he couldn't do it on his own, but Junpei says he could have and puts his hands in his pockets saying he took something off of Ace while he was unconscious.
On instinct Ace puts his hands in his pockets, and Junpei smiles, his trap working and reveals Ace has the number 9 bracelet. He explains that he could have used his own bracelet along with Guy X's and the 9th Man's to open Door 3. Ace then laughs, admits he is the killer and that he took the knife and Bracelet 9 from the First Class Cabin and then killed Guy X and that he is also the killer of Clover, as Ace was worried Clover found something in Door 1 and that Snake might have told Clover something.
He admits to being defeated by Zero but not by Junpei. Lotus then punches Ace, who grabs her and puts a gun to her face, which he obtained from Door 6. He then admits to being the killer of the 9th Man, by tricking him into believing the DEADs were modified and going into Door 5. He explains his motives, being that the 9th Man knew Ace, to obtain the Number 9 bracelet as it is an important number, and that he wanted to see if the Nonary Game was a joke or not.
He then leaves for Door 9. June suffers from her fever and stays in the large hospital room with Santa. Junpei and Seven reach the funeral room only to find a fleeing Ace. Junpei hears a bumping in the nearby coffin and, using the "sinister hand" tip, frees an oddly-clothed Snake. Finding the incinerator room with Ace and Lotus, Ace reveals his evildoings to Snake, who goes on a rampage against his nemesis to avenge Clover's death.
Ace wastes all six of the golden gun's bullets on Snake, who holds him in the incinerator until they both burn alive. Junpei, Seven, and Lotus manage to escape. Junpei goes to fetch the other two, but finds an unconscious June on the ground.
Zero contacts him, saying that he Zero lost the game. A gas grenade appears and knocks Junpei unconscious. This ending is necessary in order to get the True Ending, due to past Akane's morphic resonance on the "sinister hand" tip. One of the most confusing endings and by far the most neutral one, we don't know what happens to Junpei after he talks to Zero, what happens to Seven and Lotus, and what happened to Santa. Since it's later revealed that Santa is Zero's assistant, there is little to no reason for him to leave June.
There's a possibility that Santa returned Seven, Lotus, and Junpei to their regular lives after knocking them out at the end of the game. This ending is best enjoyed being your second to last one, just before the True Ending.
The revelations on Ace's story can affect the next endings heavily. This ending is achieved by going through Door 1 and not following the True Ending path. In this one, after the discovery of Door 9 , Clover insists on going through Door 2 which at this point in this pathway, is the only Numbered Door unexplored by the players , with Santa , June and Seven. Clover says that they may find another exit, noting how it would not be possible for the 7 of them to all go through Door 9 at this point, they were unaware of the fact that there were two Door 9s.
The four of them depart, while Ace has a private talk with Lotus to "show her something", and Junpei stays behind to wait. After some time, Clover returns alone, and reveals the others' bracelets to Junpei.
Clover also killed a defending June because she "got in the way". Junpei is distraught and shocked at the news of June's death. Despite his distraught and heartbreak, Junpei accepts the offer, only to get chopped in the neck by the axe that was in the Captain's Quarters. Junpei notices a door close, and thinking he might find Zero, leaves June to check it out.
He doesn't find anyone, and when he returns, June has disappeared. Shocked and anguished, he cries out for her before being knocked out by a Soporil gas grenade. After receiving the Safe ending, the True ending can be unlocked. This is because Junpei, an esper , is capable of remembering information across different timelines and in the True ending, he remembers the information he hears in the Safe ending.
In order to get the True ending, the player must go through Door 4, accept a clover bookmark from Santa, listen to a conversation about ice in a freezer instead of leaving, go through Door 7, ask Seven if he knows about Ice-9 when the opportunity arises, give Clover the clover bookmark when prompted to prevent her going axe crazy , then enter Door 1.
Junpei and his group opened up the Earth door and go into Door 1, finding themselves in the Chart room. While sending Ace to investigate the other half of the room, he tried to start a private conversation with Clover, asking her to finish her story from the operating room.
She refused, saying that she did not want to talk about it, but asked him about whom he suspected to have killed Snake. The only possible option had everyone except Junpei, June, and Clover working together. Junpei dismissed it as unlikely, and Clover agreed, suggesting Santa and Seven killed Snake.
Clover started to elaborate, but Ace interrupted them. He told Junpei that he wanted to talk to him and the two left for the wheelhouse. He told Junpei that he knew about Junpei's "trick" to get the door he wanted by reaching into his pocket for the papers. Junpei later found the pocket watch needed to open the exit and the three of them continued on. Practically right outside the door was the Captain's quarters.
They found a corpse of a man wearing a captain's outfit, a bracelet on his wrist that had "0" on its face, and a bloody axe next to his body. He asked Clover if she also thought the dead man they nicknamed 'Cap' was Zero but she insisted that Zero was one of the players. Junpei also noticed that it would be too obvious if the dead man was Zero, as the clues in the room felt too contrived.
He and Clover examined the body closely for more clues and mentioned that he had an easy death compared to Snake's, who had a bone sticking out of his left arm. Clover quickly changed her expression to a look of surprise. She asked if Junpei was sure if it was the left arm and he confirmed it. Suddenly, she started crying and leapt in Junpei's arm, thanking him and told him that Snake was still alive somewhere. She also thanked him for the bookmark that he gave her, and he mentions that Santa gave it to him.
Clover said that Santa must have been one of the subjects on the ship with her brother, because he knew the "leaf words". Clover decided to finish up her story about the experiment that happened on the ship.
She revealed that the Nonary Game was played on the ship. Clover mentioned that a girl died on the ship Snake was on. Clover was about to reveal her name, but Ace interrupted them again. After escaping the room, the three rushed down the central staircase to meet up with the other players. An excited June told them that they found Door 9 and, full of excitement, they rushed to the elevators. Door 9's location turned out to be the chapel and to Junpei's surprise, there were two sets of Door 9s.
That meant everyone could escape but Clover calculated all of the possible combinations and concluded that if four people go, three stay behind, and if three go, four stay behind. Seven attempted to sacrifice himself so the other six can leave, but was met by harsh criticism from the other players. Santa spoke up and flatly stated that he was against leaving Seven alone.
Santa quickly got out a golden revolver and held June hostage. He ordered Ace and Lotus to authenticate at the big Door 9. Santa forced them through the door and after nine seconds, it closed, leaving Junpei, Clover, and Seven alone in the chapel. As the room became quiet, they heard a pounding noise.
They quickly looked around the room for the source of the noise and soon found it was coming from the coffin. A keypad was on it but no clues on the password for it. While Junpei was thinking, a mysterious voice in his head told him the sinister hand tip. He pressed his buttons on his bracelet in the correct order and eight numbers blinked on the display He typed in the numbers on the keypad and the lock on the coffin opens.
To their surprise, Snake emerged out of the coffin, although he was wearing mysterious religious robes. Clover leapt into Snake's arms and tearfully welcomed him back to the group. Snake's theory that June's number is 9 and Santa's is 0, although both are actually 0. After Clover calmed down, Junpei and Seven told him everything that happened since he was gone.
They asked him why his clothes were replaced, but the only thing he remembered was being knocked out by soporific gas while looking for the RED parts. Snake mentioned that it was already and that they had to get moving. They authenticated and the small Door 9 opened.
Before they entered, Junpei quickly wanted to see what the value of the captain's bracelet was. After some testing, they found that the bracelet had a value of 6.
Snake assumed that June's bracelet was flipped and that it was actually 9 and that Santa's bracelet worked as the 0 bracelet.
Snake inferred that Santa was Zero and that he set the entire game up. Running out of time, they proceed through the small door 9.
Searching the hallway that led from the door, they found a door with a Neptune symbol on it. They didn't have the key to open it, so they looked around more, eventually finding a door with a Uranus card scanner next to it. Junpei opened the door and they found themselves in a huge library. While they were searching for a way out, Junpei confronted Snake and asked him to tell him about the experiment that happened 9 years ago.
They move up to the top floor and Snake starts talking. He was told to keep quiet of the events 9 years ago in the braille message Zero gave him. Snake was sure that even if Zero was Santa, he wouldn't kill them because he was in the same group as Snake. Snake told him that the experiment was organized by Cradle Pharmaceutical and the details of the experiment. Before they leave, Junpei asked if Snake was sure there were 18 kids in the experiment since the news reported on The two remaining kids had no relatives known but their names were Aoi and Akane , Akane being the girl that died during the experiment.
Shocked at Snake's answer, Junpei started to ponder whether the Akane Snake was talking about was the same person as June. Since Snake did not reveal her last name, so Junpei reassured himself that they were not the same person. In the study , Junpei is told of the events leading up to this point. Nine years ago in November , Cradle Pharmaceutical, led by CEO Gentarou Hongou, kidnapped nine sets of siblings 18 children in total for an experiment involving morphic fields after testing their potential in the Ganzfeld Experiment.
Hongou's desire was to understand morphic fields to try to cure his prosopagnosia facial blindness. People are more easily able to access morphic fields under conditions of "epiphany" and "danger" — thus, trying to solve problems in a life-and-death situation, exactly what the Nonary Game sets up.
One of each set of siblings was to be placed aboard the Gigantic in the Atlantic Ocean, the sister ship of the RMS Titanic , the others in Building Q , a secret facility in the Nevada desert, that both had identical interiors.
Both sets of children were to play the Nonary Game with those in the building, solving the puzzles and telepathically sending the solutions to those aboard the ship. Seven, a detective at the time, discovered Cradle to be behind the kidnappings, and was able to rescue the children in the incinerator on the ship using a makeshift rope made of bedsheets. As they fled, Hongou recaptured Akane and forced her back into the incinerator room to continue the experiment alone. She was unable to solve the Sudoku puzzle to escape the incinerator, and apparently died.
However, Akane June has been playing the Nonary Game with Junpei and the rest of the group the whole time, implying a mysterious paradox. Akane notices Junpei and tells him not to worry about her. Sometime in the next few minutes, she sneaks out of the incinerator while Junpei and the rest of the group aren't looking. Ace holds Lotus hostage with Santa's revolver and forces her to authenticate. The door does not open, to Ace's dismay. He tries over and again, but the door still won't budge.
Seven then charges at Ace and floors him. Junpei, using logical reasoning, gets Ace to confess to the murder of the 3 other executives of Cradle Pharmaceutical and he is shocked to find that Snake is still alive.
Junpei also reveals that Ace was being manipulated by Zero to purposely kill the other executives and that he concluded to have done did it so he could get revenge for the events of the First Nonary Game. Since Junpei thinks Santa is Zero, he questions him and he admits that he is Akane's brother, but that he is not Zero, but merely an assistant to Zero.
Santa says that this whole Nonary Game was set up so Junpei could save Akane from dying in the incinerator in the past. The player learns that the gameplay they have witnessed has been through the viewpoint of young Akane during the first Nonary Game. She was able to connect to Junpei in the second Nonary Game nine years in the future through morphic fields and watch his actions. Akane was able to see multiple futures for Junpei depending on his choices i.
