9 RIP Switch Otome Debuts in October

Idea Factory International shared a release date for its next Switch otome game 9 RIP. It will debut on October 15, 2024. As a reminder, the game launched in Japan on the system on June 29, 2023.

In addition to the 9 RIP release date, product pages for the limited edition of the Switch otome are now live on all of the Idea Factory International storefronts. Prices aren’t set for it yet in the US, the UK, or the European storefront. However, the contents are the same in each region. People get a copy of the game, the hardcover art book, a C with the audio dramas “Various Worlds, Various Emotions” and “Gift from a God,” a magatama necklace like the heroine wears, and Yukimaro’s fan. As with all Idea Factory International Store releases, it also comes with a trading card. 

Here’s how that version of the game looks: 

As a reminder, 9 RIP is an otome game that involves ghosts and the supernatural. Its School Ghost Stories route actually involves being trapped in a school. In addition, someone isn’t just trying to find love while dealing with otherworldly beings. Your choices you make in the visual novel will also affect your avatar’s sanity levels. 

To help get a better idea of what to expect, here’s one of the Japanese trailers looking at the characters we’ll romance:

The 9 RIP worldwide release date is October 15, 2024, and it will appear on the Nintendo Switch. The Idea Factory and Otomate otome is already available on the Switch in Japan.
