Good game but in my opinion it takes flaws from 999 and makes them even worse. Having to stare at a dot moving and doors opening/closing is straight up stupid.
Characters are probably a bit more interesting but their stories felt more "crazy" than 999's.
The plot itself tries to go even crazier than 999 and in my opinion it makes it worse. 999 not only had the extreme surprises at the end of the last route/s, but it also didn't hint anything until the very end. This game straight up tells you half of whats going on from the very start and that plays against it quite heavily.
The ending is extremely disappointing. I don't get how people are mad at 999's ending (which actually gave it a pretty good closure) but say that this is a good one. This ending was terrible, it just clearly sets up for the next game and there was absolutely no need for it.
Overall a really good game, but the original was better in many, many ways.
