This weeks magazine leaks have begun trickling in. Japanese retail blog, Sinobi, reports that a new visual novel adventure by the team that developed 999: Nine Hours, Nine Persons, Nine Doors has been announced.
The games script and direction is being undertaken, once again, by Kotaro Uchikoshi. Like 999, Kinu Nishimura is providing character designs.
The new game is in development for the Nintendo 3DS and PlayStation Vita, and will be fully-voiced. As with 999, Chunsoft will publish the game in Japan. No release date has been announced so far.
Update: After a brief internal chat, weve finally decided how to translate the games title. Its something to the effect of: Extreme Escape Adventure: Good People Die. Sound familiar? Thats because 999′s original Japanese title had Extreme Escape in it, too.

SolidSnakex said:The new game, titled Gyokugen Dasshutsu Adv: Zennin Shiboudes, actually isn't a sequel to 999, but it is being developed by the same staff. Kotaro Uchikoshi is handling scenario and direction, with Kinu Nishimura doing character designs. Both had similar roles on 999. The game will also be full voice, with major voice actors like Akio Otsuka, Yukari Tamura, Chiaki Omigawa, and Rie Kugimiya

Mpl90 said:The guy dressed like a mechanic is the game's main character, Sigma. Sigma is an ordinary college student who will frequently make sexual comments, annoying girls.
The girl in the center of the character art is Phi. She's cool and intelligent, but will sometimes say stupid jokes. She says she's a C cup when she's actually an A cup.
The story begins when Sigma is kidnapped and awakens in an elevator next to Phi. While Sigma doesn't know Phi, she seems to know him, even calling his name out. A bunny appears on the elevator monitor, causing them to flee the elevator (I'm not sure what the bunny says to make them flee, although if I saw a talking bunny on an elevator monitor I'd flee too). They find themselves in a warehouse alongside seven others. They will have to escape from this facility.
Chunsoft refers to Gyokugen Dasshutsu Adv: Zennin Shiboudes as a "game of betrayal." What that means is unclear at present, as only a few gameplay details have been announced. The game will have visual novel parts and escape parts. The escape parts involve exploring rooms and solving puzzles.
Development on Gyokugen Dasshutsu Adv: Zennin Shiboudes is currently at 50%. Famitsu lists the release time frame as TBA.
