9RIP Sequel Otome Game Launches October 27 on Switch

Idea Factory and Otomate are releasing the visual novel 9RIP Sequel for the Nintendo Switch on October 27, 2026. This fan disc serves as a follow-up to the original horror-themed otome title, offering continued storylines for characters from the previous game.
The sequel begins with a prologue that allows players to select between Godly or Heavenly endings from the first installment. These choices determine which character routes become available in the new content. The Godly paths provide brief epilogues that wrap up specific scenarios, often taking less than an hour to complete.
In contrast, the Heavenly storylines receive significantly more development. These routes feature meaningful choices affecting relationship depth and purity, along with map exploration and additional CGs. Each Heavenly path requires four to six hours to finish, maintaining the supernatural atmosphere of the original while focusing on romantic character development.
