Setting[]
Occultic;Nine takes place at Kichijoji during the year 2016, the story follows nine idiosyncratic individuals, linked by the “Kirikiri Basara” occult summary blog run by 17-year-old second-year high school student Yuta Gamon. Little incongruities that occur around these nine eventually lead to a larger, unimaginable event that may alter what is considered common sense in this world.
It is important to note that all 4 media of Occultic;Nine are different and no one is really a full adaptation of the other.
The fact Occultic;Nine takes place on the Steins Gate World Line (1.048596%) is presumable but not officially confirmed.
