The Caligula Effect 2

The Caligula Effect 2 is a story-driven game set in Redo, a virtual world built from people’s regrets. Its residents can experience lives as the people they might have become if they had made different choices. Regret, a mysterious virtuadoll, draws people into Redo with her songs.

The Go-Home Club

Another virtuadoll, χ, wants to destroy Redo. She chooses the protagonist, who is gradually awakening to reality, as her partner and gives them strength. Together, they form the Go-Home Club with others who have discovered the world outside Redo, and try to return home against the will of Redo’s creator.

In Redo, club members appear in “redone” forms: manifestations of past regrets they have undone by turning away from reality. Their true selves are hidden, and each member is caught in circumstances painful enough to make them reject reality. Through their stories, you uncover what happened to them and why they are trying to return to that painful reality. Some of what you learn about their true selves may be difficult to accept.

Turn-based battles

Battles use a turn-based system and the Imaginary Chain feature. After choosing an action, you can look ahead to see how it would play out if successful, then use that information to coordinate attacks with allies or protect them when they are in danger.

When certain battle conditions are met, χ-Jack lets χ’s singing take over the battlefield and strengthen the Go-Home Club. Its effects depend on the song selected, and can change the course of a fight. Developing χ’s abilities improves χ-Jack’s effects.

Chats and quests

WIRE lets you discuss club goals in group chats or ask allies questions privately. Their replies can reveal information, and some special questions become available only through quests or when your affinity with an ally is high.

Redo’s residents also have smaller problems and complaints, which may be connected to their true selves or relationships in reality. Completing their quests helps you learn more about them and uncover hidden truths.
