The first 9 R.I.P. game was first released in Japan in June 2023 and in the West in October 2024 for Nintendo Switch. The 9 R.I.P. sequel game launched in Japan in September 2025. Both were developed and published by Otomate, a branch of Idea Factory.
Idea Factory International describes the 9 R.I.P. sequel game below:
“Following the endings of 9 R.I.P., Misa Isshiki finds herself at a crossroads with navigating romantic life and the consequences of her actions during her second year of high school. New challenges await depending on the route taken…
Whether it’s grappling with the fallout of her death, or navigating a relationship with a supernatural being, Misa must come to terms with her decisions to move forward.
Will she continue along the same path, or take another route entirely?“
Idea Factory describes the original 9 R.I.P. game below:
“In this town, there is a long-standing rumor about people being spirited away…
They also say that people with lots of anxiety or those who are struggling are more likely to get spirited away.
You think you’ll be okay…?
In the beginning of autumn, during her second year of high school,
that’s what Misa Isshiki, was told by her best friend, causing her heart to skip a beat.
I’ll be fine, I don’t really believe in any of that stuff anyway.
That’s right… She doesn’t believe in that kind of thing…
It’s just… Her life had been filled with so much stress, all related to what her future would hold…
That’s when an eerie voice reached out to her…
Why don’t we take a look and see what you should do with your life!
Let’s put you on the right path…
And that’s when all the strange things around Misa began to happen…”
