Description
I have as of late discovered a fondness for quick crappy comics.999 (aka 9 hours 9 persons 9 doors), for those who have not heard of it, is a pretty great game for DS. It's kinda obscure, so not as many people HAVE, but yeah.
Thankfully there is no timer.

This is the exact same thing I was thinking when I was playing that part!
At first it thought, "Oh cool, this is really exciting!" and then I realized the water wasn't moving (even though it somehow still it) and I thought "Oh wow, that's a mood killer."
I kinda wish there was a sub plot that showed that Junpei has the power to freeze time long enough to solve all these puzzles. It would have been stupid but it would have been stupid enough to be the best thing ever!

I didn't realize there were TWO pieces of paper, and so I just brute-forced the passwords the first time through. And then later forgot one of them, and had to do it again. And again.

I got so anxious on this the first time I played it because I thought it WAS timed. lol I was running around like a maniac.

So true. The first was easy but it took 20 minutes to compete. And you know that such water Linking could have drovend you in less than 5 minutes.

I love your 999 comics 
One thing which kinda bugs me is that it's implied that at one point, the characters take more than 81 seconds to register with the DEAD and survive. So, the characters obviously did worse than the CHILDREN who played the same game nine years ago, because if they failed they'd presumably die for real. (...Actually, that might not be true either because them exploding wouldn't get more data... Hm...)

Hahaha, these comics are hilarious! Wish there were more of them.
And for some reason the note under the pillow was the first clue I found in that room

This was definitely me when I first played the game. >.<

HAHAHAHAHAHA. XD
I've played this. And yes, a timer would be very bad. Lol.

Hahaha oh God, this is too true xD. If a real person got thrown into this situation, they would have been toast. This would be such a scary tutorial level LOL

djkh hahaha i know right?
Actually someone actually in that situation might have a marginally better chance of at least finding all the clues, because I know I got stalled FOREVER because i couldn't find like one of the notes and crap, and you'd just be tearing that place apart.
But. Yup.

When I was doing that puzzle I kept thinking that if it was in real time I'd already have drowned XD

Zero you've created a time paradox!

If there were a timer, then I wouldn't have finished the game.
That Sudoku puzzle was the first time I've ever finished a Sudoku puzzle. @_@

really..? i found it easy
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
LOL, Thank you! I took so long to figure it out the first time! I actually had to cheat by going online to find out where the second piece of paper was. XD I kept worrying that I was going to run out of time and that I would have lost the game before it even started!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
gosh I know right? THAT SECOND PIECE OF PAPER ffffffff that is what took me FOREVER too. That and the freakin briefcase sob

ive played that game so many times ive memorized the soluton to every single puzzle
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
Yep, I promised myself that I would only use the internet once if I really needed help, so of course it has to be the VERY FIRST puzzle that I needed the extra help with! XD I ended up doing the dreaded "click on every single thing on the touch screen" technique before giving up!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
gosh I know, right? I only very rarely went to the internet for help, and am proud to say I didn't that first time though. I would have felt pretty silly.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
LOL, "silly" doesn't begin to cover it! I didn't know I was still missing one clue, so I thought that I just wasn't smart enough to figure it out on my own with "all the clues". When I found out online about not only the clue but how to solve the puzzle, I was like, "Well I could've done that!" So then I was angry that I had used up my internet help on something so unnecessary! So far I've gotten the "knifey-stabby-die-y" ending, and now I'm playing the second time and hoping for a better one! (of course, then I have more playthroughs to do to get all the other four, followed by playing the sequel game, Virtue's Last Reward, which has TWENTY FOUR ENDINGS! Phew!)

wait vlr has 24 endings...like for real...oh my gosh im never gonna beat it at this rate
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
So you've only gotten the one ending? Ah, you have quite a ride in front of you :>
And yeah, VLR has a lot of endings. The good thing? You don't have to play from the start every time like you do in 999. It lets you skip stuff you've done already.

Oh, thank god! I'm only on my second play through and I'm already going crazy with the dialogue that I've already heard but for some reason the game doesn't think I've heard. Yes, I heard about the Gigantic! Yeah, no need to drag out the whole "9th man acts like a jerk and gets himself blown up", I'm pretty sure that'll happen for every play through!
Side question, though: When they ask you a factual question such as a math problem, and give you multiple choices, does it matter which one you pick? The first time I played, i made sure to answer correctly every time, and now it shows the correct choice as gray (i.e. you already made that choice once). Yet if I choose one of the incorrect answers it says "no that can't be right" and finds the correct answer. Does it change anything when I choose the incorrect ones?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Nah, you just get different dialogue.
And while you can't outright skip things, you can fast forward through things you've seen already, which helps.
But yeah as far as things like __ + __ = __ it changes nothing. This is not true of all dialogue, jsyk 
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Right, that makes sense. I was just like, whoa, if I say the answer's 2 instead of four is somebody else going to die?! XD

in the words of the Joker: PEOPLE WILL DIE.
iiiit's one of those games.

Ok, now I've gotten the "knifey" ending, the "axey" ending, the "yellow submariney" (who knew the Beatles were so mean?!) ending, and the "safey" ending (what a mindfuck THAT one was!). Right now I'm waiting for my stupid DS to charge up AGAIN! (the battery life sucks so bad!) Then I'll get right back on it to get the other two (though someone told me that one of the two will somehow cover you for the other one, I don't know how that works).
Now, as to the "safey" ending: Did the script-writers work with the artists? Because (SPOILER ALERT for anyone else who's reading this) I couldn't help but notice that Snake had somehow regrown his left arm, and it was fully functional. He was also a super saiyan. What was that about? Can I find the director of this game and force him to explain everything in this darn game?

trying to figure out the number part of the briefcase is what got me

Finding the second briefcase is what got me. Also the note.

If the whole game was on a timer I would've lost. Just. So many times. Fail ALL the puzzles. u_u

hahaha I know right? The first room was my worst though. I was learning to click on flipping everything, and missed a few things for the first.... looong time.
