Zero Escape, known in Japan as Kyokugen Dasshutsu, is an adventure video game franchise developed by Spike Chunsoft and Chime. It currently consists of two games: Nine Hours, Nine Persons, Nine Doors (2009) and Virtue's Last Reward (2012), with a third game, Zero Time Dilemma, planned to be released in 2016.
The series follows groups of nine individuals, who are kidnapped and locked up by a person who goes by the name "Zero", and are forced to play a game of life and death in order to escape. The gameplay is divided into two types of sections: narrative sections, where the games' stories are presented, and escape-the-room adventure game sections where the player solves puzzles. In the first two games, the narrative sections are presented in a visual novel format, while the third game instead uses animated 3D cinematics. The stories are affected by player choices, and include multiple endings.
Critics have been positive to the series, praising its narrative for being experimental and for pushing boundaries for what video game narrative can be.
