Persona 5 was the game that had hooked me the most in my entire life, until today. The story of 999 is unparalleled. I had no sleep at all because of it. It's probably the best story I've ever had the pleasure of consuming in my life. Being relatively short is an advantage to it, as the way in which from start to finish it goes at top speed and makes it impossible to take your eyes off the game for a second wouldn't be possible if the story lasted tens of hours. That's a point I have to give to games like Persona 5 and Xenoblade 1. However, I can't help but say that despite being a shorter story, it's probably the most flawless and impressive story I've been able to experience so far, at least in terms of video games, no doubt.

This game should be illegal, I couldn't tear myself away from it until I got all the endings and finally cleared up all the mysteries of this story. It's so ridiculously amazing. The setting is perfect, the soundtrack is perfect, the characters are perfect, everything is perfect. Bro, an escape game on a giant sinking ship is such a catching idea. And the twists are so crazy I can't believe them. It's genius. The thriller of the game is unmatched as well. It's perfect.

I don't have much more to add, the story is the strong point of the game clearly, but the puzzles are also very good and fun, and having to replay several story chunks to get all the endings never felt boring or tedious, especially since there's the function to skip the dialogues you've already seen before. I also just loved everything so I didn't care that much about going through some parts again. The game is amazing, five stars without a doubt.
