All about OP9!

I've gathered some excellent questions about OP9 to answer for this article! If you'd like to know more about the project, visit Achromia Games' Instagram page. OP9 will be released in full on January 1, 2020.


1. What is OP9?

OP9 is a visual novel, or story that depends on the user's choices, playable on a phone or computer. It includes graphics, music, and many different story lines, and reads just like a dialogue-based novel!


2. What is OP9 about?

From Achromia Games' itch.io page:

"The story begins on June 25th, 1991. Play as Ami Madison, professional translator and new recruit in a secret organization known only as OP9 (short for Operation 9). When asked to leave your desk job and join six advanced recruits on a dangerous mission into the Soviet Union, will you accept?

"OP9 is structured like a novel and immersive like a movie. With an extensive soundtrack, captivating art, and many different story routes determined by the player's choices, there's something here for everyone to love. The game includes 8+ hours of play and more if the reader chooses to try different routes."

3. What have beta reviewers said about OP9?

(Beta testers were offered a free copy of the game in exchange for honest reviews.)

"I genuinely think this is one of the best stories I've ever read ... I'm even tearing up now thinking of it."

"[The story] was a very emotional journey for me."

"This game made me feel true anxiety, sorrow, and joy."

"This game.. oh my god, this game. This is wonderful in so many ways that I can't even describe. It's beautifully written, and even in the most heartbreaking scenes still manages to make me laugh. Text based games are rarely ever able to make me cry, but this one did."

4. When can we play OP9, and where will it be available?

On January 1, 2020, OP9 will launch for Mac OS, Windows, and Linux on itch.io, and Android on Google Play. In the future, it will launch for iOS on the App Store and Windows and Mac OS on Steam.
