Evaluation
9-nine-: Episode 3 is a standalone entry in a four-episode visual novel series, released on August 31, 2020. It tells a self-contained story focused on heroine Haruka Kosaka and was designed from the start as a complete, single-volume experience with its own beginning and ending. The store description confirms it is a finished product with two endings, a CG gallery, music gallery, and movie gallery — all hallmarks of a complete visual novel release. There is no DLC, no season pass, and no post-launch content updates for this specific episode. A news post from March 22, 2021 announced the release of Episode 4 (the final entry in the series), confirming the broader series has now concluded. Episode 3 itself shipped as a finished product and has received no further content additions.

About this game
Concept
9-nine- Episode 3 is the third volume in a series of supernatural mystery games, with Episode 3 telling a story centered around Haruka Kosaka.The entries in the the 9-nine- series share the same setting and world, but each entry focuses on a different heroine. 9-nine- is a tale of the town of Shiromitsugawa, host to mysterious Artifacts and the superpowers they bestow on their Users.
A tale of growing trust and budding romance between the protagonist and the heroine, and also a murder mystery where they hunt down the culprit behind a series of supernatural murders. A tale of our group running into an organization composed of Artifact Users called Rig Veda. What is their goal, and what is the real goal of the culprit? Will romance develop by working together?
Each game has an independent story that can be enjoyed on its own. We hope you enjoy the experience that is the 9-nine- series.
Shiromitsugawa City: an academic city with no other particular features.
A large earthquake hits the city, damaging the sacred treasure in the Shrine of the White Viper's Relic, and causing strange items to appear from a parallel world. These "Artifacts" grant strange powers to their owners, with incidents of an owner abusing their powers and turning people into stone.
Having learned of the item that causes this petrification, the "Evil Eye Artifact", Kakeru Niimi teams up with his classmate, Miyako Kujo, and his sister, Sora Niimi, to investigate and put a stop to the culprit.
During the investigation, they find themselves at odds with "Rig Veda", an organization of Artifact users. Among their members, they spot their upperclassman in school, Haruka Kosaka.
9-nine-: Episode 3 is the latest chapter in this series of supernatural mystery visual novels with the focus now shifted towards a new heroine, Haruka Kosaka.
