About 9-nine-:Episode 1
9-nine-:Episode 1 follows Kakeru Niimi as he investigates a supernatural murder mystery that erupts when a sacred shrine relic shatters and awakens superpowers in the town of Shiromitsugawa. This visual novel blends a gripping murder mystery with romance and character-driven storytelling, featuring gorgeous art and full voice acting across a branching narrative with multiple endings.
The scene: Shiromitsugawa, a run-of-the-mill college town that has launched several failed attempts to drum up tourism and revitalize itself, including sponsoring a high-budget-but-poorly-written anime based on local folklore. A storm is about to descend on this sleepy town.We follow Kakeru Niimi, a man who can be a bit curt at times but who has a strong sense of responsibility and a kind heart. Kakeru's ordinary life is thrown into chaos after the local shrine's sacred relic shatters. In the wake of this event, several young men and women awaken to superhuman abilities.
What was once a run-of-the-mill life in a run-of-the-mill town soon turns into a quest to track down a superpowered serial killer before they can strike again.
Concept
9-nine- Episode 1 is the first volume in a series of supernatural mystery games, with Episode 1 telling a story centered around Miyako Kujo. The entries in the the 9-nine- series share the same setting and world, but each entry focuses on a different heroine. 9-nine- is a tale of the town of Shiromitsugawa, host to mysterious Artifacts and the superpowers they bestow on their Users. A tale of growing trust and budding romance between the protagonist and the heroine, and also a murder mystery where they hunt down the culprit behind a series of supernatural murders. Each game has an independent story that can be enjoyed on its own. We hope you enjoy the experience that is the 9-nine- series.

What Steam players say
Recent verbatim reviews from Steam — separate from playze.io community reviews below.
9-nine-:Episode 1 is a visual novel that players find offers an engaging setup with solid characters and an intriguing blend of slice-of-life romance and murder mystery, though opinions vary on whether the slow pacing and familiar tropes make it worthwhile. Some players praise the series as an incredible experience once you push past the opening setup, while others feel it's merely average with characters that don't quite land emotionally.
Wasn't disappointed, looking forward to the next parts.2 found this helpful
Meh. its aight I know the whole story are all split into the four episodes so its meant to be short, but still, it was overall pretty... meh. With all episodes featuring different heroines and their separate stories. Its a lovey-dovey visual novel for all slice of life fans to enjoy. Characters were not bad, but not great either. I didnt get attatched to any of them personally. Its just another vn with the default tropes that come with every romance visual novel, with a little bit of murder mystery sprinkled in. My score: 6/10 Above average, but barely... oh yea and theres an patch for this game... if youre into that...1 found this helpful
Cute girl, simple story. Not outstanding and feels similar to other visual novels. But very decent. Had some issues with achievements clicking, left game and my progress reset. Nothing a quick skip couldnt fix but annoying nonetheless, possibly happened since I was using deck :/

short read, good setup and great characters
I just finished the 9-nine- series, and overall, it was an incredible experience! If you're like me, you have this series on your Wishlist for awhile and you hesitate to start it since it is separated in episode and it's expensive, or you saw reviews saying the first episode sucks and all that. The price is a bit high but in my opinion it's worth the 40$ (on sale) for the whole series. The first episode is a bit slow-paced, but that is totally understandable since it sets up the world, mechanics, and character introductions. It wasn't all that bad at least for me, some things were rushed like the romance but that's normal since it's mixed with the intro. once you get past the setup however, the series takes off. On episode 2, The chemistry between the main character and the heroine was fantastic. It has been a while since I laughed as hard at some dialogues. The voice acting did amazingly so it felt natural and engaging. From Episode 3 onward, the series reaches peak quality. I was hooked. The story delivers non-stop twists and turns that kept me on the edge of my seat. I literally couldn't stop reading until late at night. If you enjoy visual novels with great character dynamic…
