Re;quartz Reido

Re;quartz Reido is a suspense and boys’ love adventure set in a “Reset World,” where Unity (Uni) is trapped repeating the same day. He is trying to stop the world’s madness and find the person who killed him. Your choices shape the story as you decide how Uni reacts, where to investigate and whom to speak to next.

Story routes

The story opens on the common route, “first day,” where your choices determine the target character. After the final selection on that day, the story branches into “last day (front)” and “last day (reverse).” The front route asks Uni to uphold justice and protect it, whatever lies he must tell; the reverse route centers on protecting someone dear to him, regardless of who else is hurt. Each character route has different stories and endings in both branches, exploring the sides people reveal and hide, and the love and hatred between them.

Characters

Unity (Uni), voiced by Yusuke Kobayashi, dislikes troublesome involvement and is a womanizer because he cannot sleep without another person’s warmth. Though often detached, he can be gentle and caring toward his juniors. The four target characters are:

• Nijo: Uni’s subordinate, a diligent man with a stone-faced manner who enjoys all kinds of sweets. He speaks directly and has sworn to devote his life, body and soul to Uni, though his feelings are difficult to read. Voiced by Masaaki Mizunaka.
• Mana: Uni’s junior, who worships him as “Senpai.” A highly skilled martial artist relied on by the organization for dirty work, Mana cares chiefly about Uni and is fond of cigarettes. Voiced by Kodai Sakai.
• Akira Konoe: A music student from a noble family, known around town as “the piano nobleman.” His personality and the impression he makes change from one meeting to the next, leaving his true identity uncertain. Voiced by Genki Okawa.
• Lionel: A talented boss whose subordinates and other close associates have died in peculiar ways. His behavior toward Uni hints at a past or divine connection, though Lionel remembers none of it. Voiced by Toshiyuki Morikawa.

The game has branching storylines based on your decisions. It includes 19 unique endings; completed endings can be revisited from the Record menu. The game is partially voiced: special-illustration scenes and endings are fully voiced, while other scenes are partially voiced.
