Idea Factory International is releasing an English-subtitled version of the supernatural otome visual novel 9 RIP this year. The Nintendo Switch game was launched in Japan last June.
Idea Factory will also offer limited editions (contents to be revealed later) through IFI NA and online stores in Europe. Whether standard or limited edition, those who purchase the game through IFI's online stores will receive exclusive trading cards.

9 The main female character of RIP is high school student Misa Isshiki, who learns from her friend rumors about people in their town having souls and how people who are full of anxiety or are in trouble have a higher risk of becoming a victim. Poor Misa, who is stressed out worrying about her future, checks those boxes and she quickly gets a “strange voice” and sees “strange things” start happening around me.
Misa will encounter eight romance options, which seem like worthy consolations when having to experience “a world filled with demons and evil spirits” or “discover tragic and thrilling truths in real world” throughout the game. The choices in 9 RIP will not only affect Misa's relationships with other characters through a system called Love Catchy, but also affect her psychology. “Making the wrong choices can lead to madness and even turn you into something else entirely,” the press release warns.
To add to the horror, Idea Factory shares that one of the routes will trap Misa in “a school where you hear whispers of terrible murders that have occurred.”
