Today is the day that the heavily anticipated Zero Escape: Virtue’s Last Reward will be released by Aksys Games. Spiritual successor to Chunsoft’s highly acclaimed visual novel 999 (Nine Hours, Nine Persons, Nine Doors), many fans have been eager to get their hands on the newest title available on both the Nintendo 3DS and PlayStation Vita.

In light of this release, Amazon is having another sale on 999. The sale itself is 25% off its original price of $19.99, an already low price for a prestigious game, but now at an even lower cost of $14.99. It’s unknown how long the sale will last, so it’s better to act fast and see what all the fuss is about. (Check out our review on 999 here.)
