NEET: Short for “Not in Employment, Education, or Training.” Typically considered to be underskilled shut-ins who live by themselves in humble yet comfortable apartments, NEETs are known to mooch off their parents’ good will to play video games and watch anime all day instead of looking for work.

Asahi Tachibana is a textbook NEET, living a lazy, cozy life in Akihabara, the infamous Tokyo suburb renowned for its proliferation of anime and video game merchandise, maid cafes, pop idols, and all other forms of counterculture indulgence. To him, every day is Sunday, and every Sunday is a fun day.

Little does he know, however, that every day is about to become Sunday for real! Caught in a temporal loop, where the day restarts as soon as it ends, Asahi is one of only a chosen few whose memories don’t reset with it. He and his merry band of time-displaced losers must now scour Akihabara for signs of “delusions” – people’s innermost fantasies made manifest, changing the cityscape and the behavior of its citizens alike. It is the duty of this ragtag team (whether they like it or not) to infiltrate and destroy these delusions, restoring the natural order of Akiba in the vain hope that this loop may be their last.

During the course of this increasingly improbable quest, Asahi and his companions will unravel a deep, twisted mystery that blurs the line between the physical world and that of mankind’s innermost desires.

Can this band of misfits restore normalcy (or what passes for normalcy) to Akihabara? Or will they succumb to the will of the enigmatic pink-caped man, who seems to be the key to everything…?

Key Features

Real-Life Setting With a Fantastical Spin

Explore a faithful recreation of Tokyo's Akihabara district, interacting with quirky locals and enjoying a taste of Japan's otaku (nerd) mecca before entering surreal "Delusionscape" dungeons. Shop at off-brand versions of famous Japanese stores, or undertake a variety of character-specific side-quests to augment the mood and expand upon the story!

Real-Time Action Rpg Combat

Touch enemies on the map to be transported into a party-based real-time combat scene where skill and reflexes alike are put to the test. Four characters join the fray at a time, with one of several recruitable support maids refereeing from the sidelines and occasionally jumping in to lend a hand!

Real Mystery With a Touch of Satire

Question uniquely caricatured persons of interest in hopes of finding the source of Akihabara's many changes – before it's too late! Put on your sleuthing hat and interrogate hardcore gaming nerds, obsessive idol singer fans, shady DVD pirates, disillusioned store clerks, needlessly mysterious cloaked figures, and many more colorful individuals!

Really Rockin’ Theme-Appropriate Upgrades

Each playable character's weapon is a "personal pumputer," or PP, powered by a motherboard, a hard drive, and RAM, all of which can be upgraded to enhance its abilities. These weapons also double as music players, with character theme songs playable at certain points during combat to create massive stat boosts and nearly endless chains!
