''Nine And Zero 2'', AKA ''[=NAZ2=]'', is a nine person roleplay based off the of the game ''VisualNovel/VirtuesLastReward''.

** [[spoiler: It's hinted in the first lobby session that a doctor named Xavier may have something to do with his issues.]]

* WaifProphet
* MysteriousWaif: Although not quite as mysterious this time.

** Though he makes it very clear to Ari he has no desire to be friends, he refuses to leave Ari alone when emotionally compromised with a gun and possibly saved Ari from taking his own life after [[spoiler: watching a video of Grey shoot himself, after seeing his dead body]].

* CatchPhrase: Is fond of accusing others of being an {{Expy}}.
* MissionControl
* MissionControlIsOffItsMeds
!!Cheery GM / Vi
The same old Cheery GM as last time, except... not.
* MeaningfulName: 'VI' is the roman numerals for the number 6 - possibly a reflection to the fact that the original Cheery GM was controlled by Eve, who had a crush on Grey, player 6. However, Vi has stated that they hate Eve, and [[spoiler: barely responds when Grey's corpse is found.]]

!! ????? GM/ ???
A third GM hits the scene, replacing Cheery GM/Vi.

A mysterious, possibly diabolical figure in the Nonary Game. Stalks the players everywhere, silently.

* [[spoiler: JumpScare]]
* [[spoiler: ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice]]
* [[spoiler: PosthumousCharacter: Except not really. Kind of. It's confusing.]]
* [[spoiler: HopeSpot: Tries to reveal important information to the players, but barely manages to give any out before being shut down again.]]
* [[spoiler: SuddenSequelDeathSyndrome]]

----
!!Seek A Way Out!
%%* ArcNumber: It's in the title, for god's sake.
* AllThereInTheManual: One player actually made a manual on the rules, considering how far this game departed from its source material mechanics wise.
%%* AerithAndBob: Justified, mostly. The characters are pulled from many different places, and several of them are under an alias.
%%* AnyoneCanDie: It's actually unavoidable. Everyone will die multiple times.
%%* BigBadFriend: One of the players is Zero.
* {{Bizarrchitecture}}: What kind of an area leads from an underground jail cell into a church and a ballroom? It also leads into a replica of the Planetary Rooms from the first Nonary Game and a replica of the theater Marianne was kidnapped from, basically confirming that the bizarrchitecture is entirely due to how the mastermind constructed the area.
%%* DenserAndWackier: The characters are already a lot more varied than the previous game.
%%* DeadlyGame
* DysfunctionJunction: None of the cast members know one another (save for [[PreviousPlayerCharacterCameo Asteria and Ari]]), and have been plucked from completely different walks of life. Add in the stressful situation and some murder, and this trope reigns.
%%* CastFullOfGay: And basically every other queer sexuality, romantic orientation, etc.
* HappilyFailedSuicide: [[spoiler: Ari, after basically seeing his closest friend die/dead twice over and (nearly) left with a loaded gun.]]
%%* LanguageOfTruth: The underlined text.
* LighterAndSofter: [[KnightOfCerebus Serious GM and Grey]] are absent and the cast is getting on a lot better than the conflicts in NAZ1. [[ShmuckBait How could things possibly go wrong?]] [[spoiler: Finding Grey's corpse and having one third of the cast dead in the first round, that's what.]]
* FailureIsTheOnlyOption: Considering in order to get the true end you must die. There is no way to avoid it. And if you live? You have to deal with the things you did in the Nonary Game for the rest of your life.
* FanDisservice: A blood covered Ari removes his shirt [[spoiler: while near hysterical to cover up the gaping wound in his dead best friend's chest.]]
%%* {{Foreshadowing}}: Everywhere.
%%* KillEmAll: Yep.
* TheMole: Zero is a title used for the obligatory mole in the 9 players. Though Zero's identity can shift between timelines.
%%* MotherNatureFatherScience: Asteria and Aki play this straight, whereas Marianne plays with it [[UpToEleven a lot.]]
* MurderIsTheBestSolution: The mechanics of the game make it much easier to escape if you choose to kill another player.
* MoodWhiplash: Takes this hard after the first proper puzzle rooms. The players escape to find [[spoiler: Grey Leuchte, the 'winner' of the previous Nonary Game, crucified. Then the [=GMs=] force the players to vote while they're still shocked by his death. Then Minerva ''kills one third of the cast''.]]
* OntologicalMystery: Obviously, since all the characters have been kidnapped and forced into the Nonary Game. Especially Marianne, who was ''kidnapped mid-performance''.
* PreviousPlayerCharacterCameo: [[WaifProphet Asteria]] and [[CoolOldGuy Ari]] take on this role, sort of - since there was technically no protagonist in Nine and Zero 1.
%%* RelationshipValues: Just as in Persona 3, Social Links serve as this. They tend to get a bit confusing with all the timeline stuff.
%%* RagtagBunchOfMisfits: The players are all completely different, and many of them have never met before in their life.
* RunningGag: Everything goes 'ding' or 'boop'. Originally an accident, but now has been lampshaded to all hell and back. [[OverusedRunningGag "It looks like this game had a limited sound budget."]] "Shut up, Minerva" is another running gag, if less major.
%%* SchrodingersButterfly: Even after it's been declared in red that unlike the previous game, this one isn't within a simulation, some players still suspect this trope is in effect.
* SequelEscalation: In Nine and Zero 1, you would generally only have to kill one player per round - potentially two or three in the final round. In this game, you can potentially kill up to [[UpToEleven **five** people in one round. And then there's the murder mechanics outside of the Ambidex Game...]]
* ShoutOut: There are many.
** Underlined text is the equivalent to the Red Truth from {{VisualNovel/Umineko When They Cry}}.
** A HurricaneOfPuns about {{VisualNovel/Ace Attorney}} takes place early on, also serving as a CallBack to the first game.
** Ari repeats over and over "{{VideoGame/No One Has To Die}}" which is the name of a multilevel flash game where you have to go through multiple timelines and get multiple KillEmAll endings to get the true end.
** Ari also mentions an important figure in his life is [[Franchise/XMen Doctor Xavier]].
** One player also mentioned WebVideo/HowToBasic, when talking about if any of them happened to be high.
* WhiteVoidRoom: The Void Room, where dead players end up. Serves as something to keep the dead players entertained while the living ones finish up the timeline.
* YouWakeUpInARoom: More like 'you wake up in a jail cell with next to no lighting'.

%%* ArcNumber: It's in the title, for god's sake.
* AllThereInTheManual: One player actually made a manual on the rules, considering how far this game departed from its source material mechanics wise.
%%* AerithAndBob: Justified, mostly. The characters are pulled from many different places, and several of them are under an alias.
%%* AnyoneCanDie: It's actually unavoidable. Everyone will die multiple times.
%%* BigBadFriend: One of the players is Zero.
* {{Bizarrchitecture}}: What kind of an area leads from an underground jail cell into a church and a ballroom? It also leads into a replica of the Planetary Rooms from the first Nonary Game and a replica of the theater Marianne was kidnapped from, basically confirming that the bizarrchitecture is entirely due to how the mastermind constructed the area.
%%* DenserAndWackier: The characters are already a lot more varied than the previous game.
%%* DeadlyGame
* DysfunctionJunction: None of the cast members know one another (save for [[PreviousPlayerCharacterCameo Asteria and Ari]]), and have been plucked from completely different walks of life. Add in the stressful situation and some murder, and this trope reigns.
%%* CastFullOfGay: And basically every other queer sexuality, romantic orientation, etc.
* HappilyFailedSuicide: [[spoiler: Ari, after basically seeing his closest friend die/dead twice over and (nearly) left with a loaded gun.]]
%%* LanguageOfTruth: The underlined text.
* LighterAndSofter: [[KnightOfCerebus Serious GM and Grey]] are absent and the cast is getting on a lot better than the conflicts in NAZ1. [[ShmuckBait How could things possibly go wrong?]] [[spoiler: Finding Grey's corpse and having one third of the cast dead in the first round, that's what.]]
* FailureIsTheOnlyOption: Considering in order to get the true end you must die. There is no way to avoid it. And if you live? You have to deal with the things you did in the Nonary Game for the rest of your life.
* FanDisservice: A blood covered Ari removes his shirt [[spoiler: while near hysterical to cover up the gaping wound in his dead best friend's chest.]]
%%* {{Foreshadowing}}: Everywhere.
%%* KillEmAll: Yep.
* TheMole: Zero is a title used for the obligatory mole in the 9 players. Though Zero's identity can shift between timelines.
%%* MotherNatureFatherScience: Asteria and Aki play this straight, whereas Marianne plays with it [[UpToEleven a lot.]]
* MurderIsTheBestSolution: The mechanics of the game make it much easier to escape if you choose to kill another player.
* MoodWhiplash: Takes this hard after the first proper puzzle rooms. The players escape to find [[spoiler: Grey Leuchte, the 'winner' of the previous Nonary Game, crucified. Then the [=GMs=] force the players to vote while they're still shocked by his death. Then Minerva ''kills one third of the cast''.]]
* OntologicalMystery: Obviously, since all the characters have been kidnapped and forced into the Nonary Game. Especially Marianne, who was ''kidnapped mid-performance''.
* PreviousPlayerCharacterCameo: [[WaifProphet Asteria]] and [[CoolOldGuy Ari]] take on this role, sort of - since there was technically no protagonist in Nine and Zero 1.
%%* RelationshipValues: Just as in Persona 3, Social Links serve as this. They tend to get a bit confusing with all the timeline stuff.
%%* RagtagBunchOfMisfits: The players are all completely different, and many of them have never met before in their life.
* RunningGag: Everything goes 'ding' or 'boop'. Originally an accident, but now has been lampshaded to all hell and back. [[OverusedRunningGag "It looks like this game had a limited sound budget."]] "Shut up, Minerva" is another running gag, if less major.
%%* SchrodingersButterfly: Even after it's been declared in red that unlike the previous game, this one isn't within a simulation, some players still suspect this trope is in effect.
* SequelEscalation: In Nine and Zero 1, you would generally only have to kill one player per round - potentially two or three in the final round. In this game, you can potentially kill up to [[UpToEleven **five** people in one round. And then there's the murder mechanics outside of the Ambidex Game...]]
* ShoutOut: There are many.
** Underlined text is the equivalent to the Red Truth from {{VisualNovel/Umineko When They Cry}}.
** A HurricaneOfPuns about {{VisualNovel/Ace Attorney}} takes place early on, also serving as a CallBack to the first game.
** Ari repeats over and over "{{VideoGame/No One Has To Die}}" which is the name of a multilevel flash game where you have to go through multiple timelines and get multiple KillEmAll endings to get the true end.
** Ari also mentions an important figure in his life is [[Franchise/XMen Doctor Xavier]].
** One player also mentioned WebVideo/HowToBasic, when talking about if any of them happened to be high.
* WhiteVoidRoom: The Void Room, where dead players end up. Serves as something to keep the dead players entertained while the living ones finish up the timeline.
* YouWakeUpInARoom: More like 'you wake up in a jail cell with next to no lighting'.
