Brass Lantern
There's a nice sense of urgency about the opening text, and repeating 'the phone rings' over and over again (it also pops up after the room description) is a neat way of conveying, well, a phone ringing over and over again. I've certainly been in this sort of situation, and I had absolutely no trouble getting under the skin of the PC -- or so I thought. (Iain Merrick).

[...] my first play through the game ended with shock and surprise. If there's an equivalent to being nonplussed when you're sitting at a keyboard, I was it. (Mark Musante)

Gaming Enthusiast
The strength and charm of some games lies in their simplicity. This certainly applies to Adam Cadre’s little game from 2000 called 9:05.

Jay Is Games
Besides being very short, one of the especially notable qualities of this game is that it encourages replay. After you've played through the game at least once, you'll understand what I mean by this. An enjoyable and surprising game and just right for a casual game audience.

Jay Is Games
A humorous yarn about a person who must rush out of the house after waking up late, and yet so much more, 9:05 is as clever as its design is elegant.

9:05 is a tiny game, and everyone interested in interactive fiction should play it at least once.

SPAG
The game plays smoothly with no real apparent problems [...] In the end, 9:05 is a simple game which could almost be described as puzzle-less one [...] somewhat closer in spirit to Cadre's take on Flowers for Algernon than his other more involved Photopia or I-0.
