Nine Hours, Nine Persons, Nine Doors, One Watch

Nine Hours, Nine Persons, Nine Doors, One Watch

Now you can pretend you're about to die a horrible death by drowning upon a sinking ship with the Gamestop exclusive preorder watch for Aksys Games' DS thriller Nine Hours, Nine Persons, Nine Doors.
It can be hard to sell a game like Nine Hours, Nine Persons, Nine Doors, or 999 as Aksys likes to call it. It's an adventure game in which nine people find themselves on a sinking ship, forced to play a twisted game in order to escape with their lives. How do you market it? How do you make people want to play this particular game?

Well this watch certainly helps.
A replica of the bracelet the characters in the game find themselves wearing. this colorful preorder bonus keeps its numbers hidden beneath its shiny metal face, glowing bright red with the press of a button. It's horribly garish, and it definitely won't fit my giant wrist.
I must have it.
"You too can sport the watch that the game revolves around, just like Junpei and his companions!", says Frank "Bo" deWindt II, Associate Producer, Aksys Games.
Yes yes, Junpei something whatever. Just give me the watch.
Nine Hours, Nine Persons, Nine Doors hits stores on November 16. Make sure you make friends with your Gamestop manager beforehand to make sure these babies don't "run out" before you get yours.
