Death end re;Quest takes the classic turn-based RPG and flips it upside-down. Switch between the RPG action of the game world and the visual novel segments of the real world. In the realm of game development, it may seem all fun and games until the lines between fantasy and reality begin to blur.
RPG Gamers summary.
Death end re;Quest is a thrilling narrative game that follows the story of Arata Mizunashi, a video game programmer, and Shina Ninomiya, a colleague of his who went missing nearly one year ago. Together, they worked on World’s Odyssey (W.O.D.), an immersive virtual landscape powered by breathtaking, state-of-the-art technology. When Arata discovers that Shina was stuck in the game the whole time, he must delve back into the lines of code to find a way to extract her. However, a nefarious force prevents them from doing so and the only way out is to complete the game to unlock the perfect ending with a success rate of 1%. Players will jump between reality and in-game modes to investigate the mysterious inner-workings of the World Odyssey, and switch to an in-game view mode to battle against glitched-out monsters. With a turn-based command battle system, players can roam freely and duke it out with fearsome monsters, and activate character-specific dungeon skills to access hard-to-reach areas and hidden treasures. Follow the white rabbit and discover a bug infested world as you help Shina escape a game universe filled with infected bosses and mesmerizing environments.
