He launched his career as a freelance writer and developer in 2001, eventually partnering with Chunsoft, a developer with a rich history in the genre, to create the Zero Escape series, which includes 2010's 999: Nine Persons, Nine Hours, Nine Doors (Nintendo DS) and 2012's Virtue's Last Reward (Nintendo 3DS, PlayStation Vita). Uchikoshi has been working in the game industry since the 1990s, when he landed at one of the genre's major proponents, the now shuttered KID.ĩ99: Nine Persons, Nine Hours, Nine Doors Virtue's Last Reward is what is known as a visual novel, the Japanese form of the graphic adventure genre, which, as in the West, has its genesis in 1980s PC games. It makes the process more fun," Kotaro Uchikoshi, the game's director, tells Gamasutra. "When I am writing a story, I always have a conversation with an imaginary player. What's the secret to building a story game like this? The player is deftly kept aloft in the updraft between what just happened and what's going to happen. As you learn, he learns as you figure out what's going on, so does he. This matters less than it sounds like it should because of the role it casts you in - a kidnapped college student who has no idea what's going on. If you step back and consider how the game really works, you'll find that you have no meaningful bearing on how the story plays out.
