Root Double - Before Crime After Days - Xtend Edition

The year is 2030. Business is as usual in the isolated research city of Rokumei–that is until several explosions suddenly go off in the nuclear research facility known as “LABO.” The city sends in “Sirius,” an elite rescue squad, to deal with the situation. But the situation only gets worse when LABO’s nuclear reactor melts down, sending the facility into lockdown–with members of Sirius and survivors still trapped inside. With lethal radiation leaking everywhere and not enough anti-radiation medication to last until lockdown lifts, the survivors make more and more grim discoveries. In their struggle for survival, in a deathtrap full of fire and radiation, they learn that doubt is their greatest enemy, and trust their greatest asset.

The story of Root Double features two different protagonists: Watase Kasasagi, a rescue squad captain who has lost his memories in the hours after the incident, and Natsuhiko Tenkawa, a student piecing together the clues in the six days before. The only key to survival lies in the player’s hands with the Senses Sympathy System (SSS). Unlike traditional visual novels, Root Double does not have clear cut “choices,” but rather, the game uses SSS to allow the player to manipulate the story based purely upon emotion. Your emotions projected upon the characters, particularly your trust in them, shape the progression of the story. Only with effective use of this system and completion of both protagonists’ stories can the player piece together the truth and hope to discover a way out of the facility.

Dies irae: Interview With Kaziklu Bey

Dies irae’s 2017 World Emanation Project made waves thanks to the support of many fans and backers, and in the end, its colorful cast of allies and antagonists alike won the hearts of many a reader. Now, the villainous Wilhelm Ehrenburg takes front and center stage, his night of bloodstained roses painting a crimson tale of action and despair. The setting of this gripping story? The final months of World War II.

2006.

Wilhelm Ehrenburg, member of the infamous Longinus Dreizehn Orden and feared by soldiers the world over as the invincible "vampire of the battlefield," finds himself the subject of an interview with journalist Dinah Malloy at a bar in New York shortly prior to his journey to Japan. At her request, he begins to tell her the story of his past, speaking at length in particular about an episode in his life that took place back in 1944.

One day, while fighting in the twilight days of World War II, Wilhelm came across nun Claudia Jerusalem in the ruins of Warsaw. Mistaking his chance encounter with her as a rescue, Claudia, an albino just like Wilhelm, thanks him for saving her. Full off the bloodshed he had just wrought on his latest battlefield, Wilhelm resisted his initial instinct to devour her just like every other hapless soul who'd had the misfortune of crossing paths with him, and instead took her with him. Little did he know that this woman, whom he spared on a whim with no further intentions than to someday satiate his boundless thirst for blood, would change his life and the very nature of his existence forever...

March 1956.

In a Tokyo that’s slowly returning to its former glory after losing the war ten years prior, Private Detective Reiji Tokisaka takes on the case of a girl he meets in Inokashira Park.

A wave of crimes has been crashing down on the city. Sergeant Uozumi, Tokisaka’s childhood friend and former coworker, asks him to investigate the murders.

Meanwhile, sitting off in a corner of the town of Hoya is Oba Girls’ Academy, the school Tokisaka’s younger sister goes to and where two students have recently disappeared under mysterious circumstances. The vice principal of this academy, Tokio Saeki, implores Tokisaka to find them.

Having taken on all three of these cases, and with Vice Principal Tokio’s approval, Tokisaka enters Oba Girls’ Academy as a teacher in order to dig up information about the students.

It’s there that he meets her again. Toko Kuchiki, the girl who asked him to look for her true self, with a voice as light and as clear as a bell and a casual way of speaking that doesn’t match it.

More and more victims turn up as the days pass, and the investigation he thought would be oh-so-easy stalls. For some reason, the number of disappearances and unidentified bodies don’t add up.

And the newest victim is—

The secrets of a case from six years prior may just be the key to the current unending cycle of tragedy, and the thing that cracks this woeful world’s shell may be one girl’s smile.

In the years before Japan went to war and the world went to hell, amidst the deep snows of the mountainous north, there was a small hamlet known as Hitogata where by ancient custom the residents were prone to worship clay dolls. One night, during their festival, a woman was murdered, and the people came to speak of this as their god's curse—divine retribution for trying to take the power of their god into their own hands.

December 1957.

It's been nearly two years since Toko Kuchiki was kidnapped from her hospital room.

Reiji Tokisaka's little sister Yukari saves a man from suicide—but that man is a victim of the curse's return...

Reiji steps in to sever a cycle of obsession that has persisted since before the war—but still struggles with his own obsession with Toko.

Meanwhile, a cult rises from the ashes after six years of silence—but what are they planning?

Curses may be the devices of the gods, but it's always human hands that carry their knives.

The Dragon Army, commanded by the ruthless Drake Emperor Tiberius, marches ever closer to total conquest of the world. The once-mighty nations stand divided, each struggling in isolation as their lands fall one by one under the growing shadow of the army. Amid the chaos, a young man named Helio, from the humble village of Haven, faces his end in a vicious dragon attack. However, just as hope fades, a mysterious power awakens within him—the legendary "Skill Taker". Now, Helio must harness this ability to turn the tide of war, acquiring his enemies' strengths to fight back against an unstoppable force.

Engage in strategic, turn-based combat with a front-view command system that emphasizes exploiting enemy weaknesses in a fantasy RPG with beautiful pixel and anime-styled characters. As Helio, use the unique "Skill Taker" ability to steal and equip powerful skills from defeated foes, giving you the freedom to build and customize your arsenal. Master the art of anticipating enemy moves, unleashing devastating counterattacks, and outmaneuvering even the fiercest opponents. With each battle, you'll grow stronger and unlock new strategies, guiding Helio from a simple villager to a key player in the fight for the world's survival.

It is the year 2030 A.D. With the recent advancements in information technology and neuroscience in Japan, human memories can now be saved and recorded via a technology called “e-Memory.” Numerous state-operated facilities now exist that will allow one to communicate with the deceased: the “Connect Center.”

College student Kusuhara Hiroki struggles with suicidal impulses after the sudden passing of his close childhood friend, Mizunashi Sorano. With her memories to last only six days, Kusuhara’s friend Amamiya Kakeru suggests that they attempt to steal Sorano’s memories from the server in which they are stored. In the midst of this, the pair of friends are suddenly embroiled in an ongoing conspiracy revolving around a truth that must be kept secret at all costs.

Memory’s Dogma

The year is Showa 33—or 1958, by the new calendar.

It is an especially cold January, and amid the dour gray snow, a funeral is being held. A portrait of a girl's face sits there draped in snow, looking almost embarrassed and a little lonely...

The imprisoned painter Shinzo Mamiya died a scant few weeks after the Blessed Congregation's crimes came to light. Detective Reiji Tokisaka has been recruited by his old friend Maris Stella to help sort through the man's belongings, but instead they find an unknown work in his studio: a one-winged angel with no arms. The work, which they name Exile Of Paradise, is as beautiful as it is sinister—and it resembles his infamous masterpiece Girl In Shell.

A few more days later, a woman's corpse is found, modified in the manner depicted in Exile. She is identified as having formerly worked with Tomoyuki Masaki.

There may be no one left who can cut the chain of obsession that began with Girl In Shell—nobody but one small girl.

”E quell'ossessione fa girare il sole e tutte le stelle.”
