Aksys posted a hands on 999: 9 Hours, 9 Persons, 9 Doors demo, but you won’t find it on the Nintendo Channel. You can try thepuzzle-novel in your web browser. Here’s a link to it… just select 1860 as your birth year and you’re in!
The demo is set at the beginning of the game where Junpei wakes up and realizes he’s trapped on a ship with an old friend.
Yes, today is apparently demo day.
