About this game
At 23:14, a numbers station that went silent decades ago comes back on the air. It is counting down from nine. You are reading the transcript — and the transcript knows it's being read.
Number Nine is a horror novella told through typography. The text is the world: words turn when the story's space turns, mirror when something is wrong, and stop — mid-scroll — until you've solved what the page is asking. No tap-to-continue. No cartoon jump scares. Just a book that behaves the way haunted paper would.
SIX BROADCASTS
The story unfolds across six broadcasts. Broadcast One is free — a complete chapter with its own gates and its own ending. One single purchase unlocks the remaining five. No subscription, no ads, no consumables.
GATES, NOT MINIGAMES
The scroll stops at gates: a radio that needs the right frequency, a fork in the text, a code assembled from clues planted pages earlier — sometimes chapters earlier. Wrong answers don't produce error messages; they produce atmosphere. Later broadcasts get genuinely hard. Bring a notepad.
TONIGHT'S SIGNAL — FREE, EVERY NIGHT
Each calendar day the station transmits a fresh substitution cipher, the same puzzle for every listener in the world that night, serializing a prequel one line at a time. Some nights the station changes the rules — always in your favor, if you notice.
A BOOK THAT RESPECTS THE READER
• Everything you need is in the story — no outside knowledge, no searching the web
• Answers are computed and discovered, never brute-forced
• Fully playable with sound off; audio is atmosphere, never required
• Dark, typographic, portrait — designed to be read in bed with the lights off. We're sorry.
Nothing to sign up for, nothing tracked, everything offline. Just you, the transcript, and a station that should not be broadcasting.
Broadcast One is free. The station is patient.
