In a world where individuals with supernatural powers—referred to as "Ability Users"—appear from time to time, society has struggled to control those who misuse their powers for nefarious purposes. Among these Ability Users are special agents, known as "Agents," who work for a dedicated organization tasked with keeping rogue abilities in check. One such agent, Ayaka Aoba, possesses psychokinetic abilities that allow her to manipulate objects and people with her mind. Together with her partner, Shizuru Sengoku, a highly intelligent strategist with memory manipulation powers, they track down criminals who misuse their powers, using a combination of force and memory alteration to ensure justice is served. In this game, players will follow Ayaka and Shizuru as they face off against dangerous foes and uncover the truth behind a larger conspiracy involving mind control and corruption.
Gameplay Features:
Combat and Investigation: Players will guide Ayaka in combat scenarios, using her psychokinetic abilities to fight off enemies. Shizuru, although not directly involved in combat, provides guidance and strategy via communication. As players progress, they'll also need to investigate situations, gather evidence, and track down criminals.
Memory Manipulation and Decision-Making: One unique mechanic of the game is the use of Shizuru's memory manipulation power. After capturing a criminal, Shizuru can alter their memories to forcefully "reform" them, ensuring they confess and cooperate with the authorities. These actions will shape the direction of the story, with different outcomes based on the choices made.
Exploration and Hidden Missions: In the second half of the game, players will infiltrate a school, engaging in exploration and following specific tasks within a limited timeframe. There are various side missions that players can choose to take on, each affecting the storyline's progression. Failing to complete these missions in time could lead to different endings, adding an element of challenge and replayability.
Game Tips:
Manage Time Carefully: In the school infiltration phase, time is a precious resource. You’ll need to balance exploration and completing objectives while avoiding suspicion. Keep an eye on your time limit to ensure you don’t fail the mission.
Use Memory Manipulation Strategically: Shizuru’s memory manipulation can be a powerful tool to ensure criminals are reformed, but the consequences of altering memories are significant. Make sure to consider the long-term impact of each decision on your character and the story.
Don't Underestimate the Side Missions: Side missions may seem optional, but they are crucial to unlocking special content and avoiding negative outcomes. Pay attention to all available quests and attempt to complete them within the given constraints to achieve better results.
Game Highlights:
Multiple Endings: The game features various endings, with one happy ending and several bad endings. Players’ decisions throughout the story, including how they handle criminal confrontations and side missions, will determine the final outcome.
Diverse Scenes: The game includes a variety of scenarios, including intense psychological battles, infiltration missions, and moments that challenge both your decision-making and strategic thinking. Some scenes may lead to unexpected consequences, adding an edge to the narrative.
Character Development: As Ayaka and Shizuru grow in power and understanding, their relationships with each other and the criminals they encounter will evolve. Their abilities and interactions with other characters significantly influence the flow of the game, creating a dynamic and ever-changing experience.
