About 9pm
9pm is a short, darkly funny zombie visual novel set in the lab where you work. It's nine at night, you're stuck inside, and the building is full of zombies. Every choice you make shapes what happens to you and the people trapped with you.
There are two playable characters, and the choices from one run carry into the next character's story, so the order of your decisions matters. With 14 endings and a set of badges to collect, it's built for replaying. This is the version made for a one-week game jam.
The art is clean and cartoony: the title screen has a janitor with a mop, a nervous woman in glasses holding a clipboard and a pile of zombie heads at their feet. You can play 9pm online from that screen, which also has Load, Badges and Settings.
How to Play 9pm
- Click Start on the title screen to begin.
- Click to move the story along, and pick an option whenever a choice appears.
- Think about what each choice means for the people around you, since it can decide their fate.
- When a run ends, play as the other character; your earlier choices carry over.
- Use Load to return to a save, and open Badges to see which ones you've earned.
What to Expect in 9pm
9pm mixes zombie horror with comedy. The situation is grim and your choices can cost people their lives, but the writing keeps a sense of humor about being stuck at work with the undead.
Expect zombie horror themes in a light, cartoony style, closer to a comedy than a grim zombie visual novel. Each run takes a few minutes, and with 14 endings to find, the fun is in going back, choosing differently and seeing how much changes for the next character.
Tips for 9pm
- Play both characters. The second story changes based on what you did with the first, so you only see the full picture by playing both.
- Save before big decisions so you can load back and try the other option without replaying everything.
- Check the Badges screen between runs to see what you're missing and steer toward it.
- On a second run, pick the options you would normally avoid. That's the fastest way to reach new endings.
- Keep track of who you helped and who you left behind. 9pm free in your browser makes it easy to replay, and those choices come back later.

Badges are collectibles you earn as you play 9pm, and they have their own screen on the title menu. They give you something to aim for on repeat runs alongside the 14 endings, and checking them between runs shows you which paths you have not tried yet.
