Death End Re;Quest

Death End Re;Quest is a role-playing game about a programmer trying to rescue his missing colleague from the virtual world they created. Arata Mizunashi and Shina Ninomiya worked together on World’s Odyssey (W.O.D.), an immersive virtual landscape, until Shina disappeared nearly a year ago and development stopped. Arata discovers that she is trapped inside W.O.D. as its only active player, while the game is infested with bugs. A force prevents him from extracting her, so Shina must complete the game to unlock its perfect ending, which has a 1% success rate.

Story

As Arata and Shina work toward her escape, they meet NPCs who blur the line between humanity and AI. The story raises questions about the differences between the virtual world and the real one, with dangers on both sides of the screen. Your decisions can change the ending.

Explore and investigate

You switch between a real-world view and an in-game view. In the real-world view, you investigate the inner workings of World’s Odyssey; in the game view, you fight glitched-out monsters. While exploring, you use character-specific dungeon skills to reach otherwise inaccessible areas and find hidden treasures.

Battles

Combat uses a turn-based command system, but you can move freely while fighting monsters. During battles, you can also change the game’s genre, switching from a first-person shooter to a fighting game.
