Idea Factory and Otomate are set to release 9RIP Sequel for the Nintendo Switch on October 27, 2026. This follow-up to the original horror-themed otome game continues the stories of Misa and her supernatural love interests, focusing on the aftermath of the previous title's events.
The gameplay structure requires players to navigate a prologue that determines which character's epilogue is pursued based on whether they follow the original game's Godly or Heavenly endings. While the reviewer noted that the prologue is functional, they expressed a preference for a direct menu selection system to avoid repetitive setup sequences.
The reviewer found the Heavenly routes to be more substantial, offering four to six hours of content with map exploration and multiple endings, whereas the Godly routes are shorter, straightforward wrap-ups. Although the game maintains the original's ambiance, the reviewer observed that it feels less spooky than its predecessor, as the element of surprise regarding the supernatural setting has diminished.
Ultimately, the title is recommended for fans of the original game, though the reviewer highlighted a potential drawback: the game heavily prioritizes Heavenly endings as canon. This focus may leave players who preferred the Godly outcomes feeling underserved by the sequel's narrative direction.
