KCF's Nine Hours, Nine Persons, Nine Doors (999) Playthrough

Introduction
I bought this because of it was only $15 on Amazon, and I once read a review that made it seem rather interesting. I originally just made a topic to get a clear understanding of the ending system, but it eventually turned into a playthrough topic that was easily the best that I have done, though I can't say that it took much to reach that point.

Pre-Official Playthrough Topic Synopsis
Went through the door, forget which number, with Snake and Seven

I felt as if the game was encouraging you to go through the door that the 9th man went though (I don't think that there was another major decision before so I guess he dies no matter what) so that's what I did

Went through door #7 with Clover and Seven

I am kicking myself because I wanted to go through door #3 (I felt the game was baiting me too but I felt guilty about leaving more people behind but later learned that was not an issue)

I get the feeling that Snake would have died anyway if I went through there but I won't know until I play again.

Went through door #1 with Clover and Ace (just made it)

I am not sure if I made the best decision because this is the one door that I didn't find on my own, Santa and Lotus did. Coupled with the fact that Junpei was going to select door #6 makes me even more unsure.

Character Thoughts (Part I)
June - None really except that the developers probably want you to go with her as much as possible so I probably screwed myself out of the best ending. Not very dynamic or interesting

Ace - I am cautious of him because he seems to always have an answer for what Zero is thinking and always throws around the word "trust." He also seemed to have a connection with Clover and/or Snake. I can't remember when he said something that gave me that impression (might have been out in the hall when looking for Snake)

Snake - Cool guy but I don't believe that Clover is his sister, at least not by blood. I don't remember him saying or doing anything else that made me suspicious, but I do wonder if he actually found the "guts" for RED or if he was just an unlucky victim via other circumstances

Santa - I can't really make heads or tails from this kid either but I have never been with him through any of the doors. Don't have a guess as to who, if any, of the other captives have a connection with him.

Clover - Like I said about Snake, don't believe that they are blood relatives but given her reaction towards his disappearance and, likely, death, he did mean a lot to her, maybe even indebted. However, I am very intrigued why she snapped at me and hope that gets resolved

Seven - Favorite character, though I have been with him twice now and almost chose to do it again. I will touch base on his amnesia with the next character but I am not suspicious of him due to that. I am intrigued how he kept each door propped open, not for the fact that he did it because it does make sense but the rationale for doing so. One was that he wanted to play piano or something, which was a blatant lie. He also seems to be very intelligent and knows a lot more than everyone else about what they come across and situations that they are in

Lotus - I used to be suspicious of her but even though I have yet to go through a door with her, I feel as if she is just a woman who wants to survive this ordeal. I also got the impression, after Lotus muttered something under her breath, that she may know Seven from before, which begs the question as to whether or not Seven is lying about his amnesia so that Lotus may drop whatever beef she has with him.

The 9th Man - The most notable thing about him was not about abducting Clover and subsequently dying, it was that he said he "was lied to." Snake showed that Zero gave him additional info so it isn't out of the question that Zero gave him some sort of information as well. Plus, I highly doubt that Zero would have let him keep a knife on him, leading me to believe that he was given the knife plus "suggestions" on what to do with it.

His demeanor before taking Clover was not of someone who was panicking from the situation that he was in but rather of someone who was torn if he was making the right decision. No idea if he is connected to anyone else.

Junpei - Who cares? He and June are easily the least interesting characters and because I am in control of him, it doesn't really matter what he has said or done really because I am at the helm.
