OK, first of all: I am so FREAKING HYPED FOR THIS.
Extreme Escape Adventure: Good People Die (Gyokugen Dasshutsu Adv: Zennin Shiboudes) From what I've seen, this doesn't looks like a direct sequel to 999, but just a new Nonary Game.
Main Character The guy dressed like a mechanic is the game's main character, Sigma.
Story The story begins when Sigma is kidnapped and awakens in an elevator next to Phi. While Sigma doesn't know Phi, she seems to know him, even calling his name out. A bunny appears on the elevator monitor, causing them to flee the elevator. They find themselves in a warehouse alongside seven others. They will have to escape from this facility and play the 'Nonary Game: Ambidex Edition'.
How the Ambidex Game Works
Siliconera
Here’s how the Ambidex Game works. Each player has a bangle attached to them and BP (presumably bangle points) increase and decrease. Only when your BP reaches nine you can escape, but if it reaches zero or lower you die. Just like Nine Hours, Nine Persons, Nine Doors players travel in groups, pairs to be specific, and the twist is you can betray each other. Before a game begins players enter their bangle in a computer and select either "cooperate" or "betray" without their partner knowing. If both players select cooperate they each get two BP. If they both select betray nothing happens to their BP. If one person picks betray and the other decides to cooperate, the betrayed player loses two BP and the traitor gets three BP.
Not sure if this'll be as entertaining as the first one - it follows the same concept after all - but it should be decent enough to make me want to finish it.
Those look to be full 3D environments. I wonder if it'll still be point and click or first-person wandering around... (Probably still point and click, but one could only imagine.)
EDIT: oh, so there's a link to the first game (besides it being the 'Nonary Game'), too? Nice. Definitely looking forward to the eventual EU release.

It sucks, I loved 999 and will still play this one no matter what, but man, why is the enemy a rabbit??? The first game had an actual, well, person, as an enemy, which made it feel more realistic. People do bad things to people all the time. Rabbits in funny asian costumes break immersion.
