Storyline: Set in Shinjuku, Tokyo, the city finds itself in a lockdown due a series of murders and events perpetuated by a terrorist organization called Adonis. Adonis claims a huge event will take place on the 1st of January in the following new year. This proclamation has the police department racing against time to find and stop Adonis. Ichika Hoshino, a rookie police officer, finds herself involved when she is tagged by Adonis with a deadly poisonous collar around her neck. In return, she becomes involved with the Adonis investigation, meeting five unlikely people who will forever change her life.

A friend of mine who looked at the game’s story told me to check it out, and I’m sad that I didn’t get into this game earlier! I had such a great time playing this game, and I can see why many people praise this as a phenomenal otome game in the same league as that of Hakuouki and Code Realize.

As always, this review contains my opinions about the game and doesn’t reflect anyone else’s. So, please take it with a grain of salt ~^^~
