Toei Animation and developer Nestopi Co has revealed a new adventure game: Re:VER PROJECT -TOKYO-, and it has a demo available on Steam now.
The game is due for release on PC via Steam later this year, and the teams say: “Based in modern day Tokyo, players will take on the role of Yukinori, a talent agency manager falsely accused of murder, and must secretly navigate and survive the Tokyo streets to clear his name.”
In terms of the demo, it has been previously available at gaming events in Japan, but now it’s available to all players worldwide.
Here’s the key features from the press release:
- Survive in the streets of Tokyo while avoiding the police, surveillance systems, and people’s attention.
- Collect and create items in the streets to survive such as food, drink, and key items.
- Explore Tokyo’s famous spots such as Shinjuku and Shibuya to find clues to clear Yukinori’s name.
- Help protect high school idol Hinagi’s life as life-threatening dangers are around every corner for both of them.
Yukinori, a manager at a talent agency, lived a quiet, ordinary life while earnestly doing his job. But everything changes when a shooting incident involving a politician occurs during a memorial service he attends for work.
Hinagi, a nationally popular high school female idol, was also caught up in the incident and came down with a high fever.
In order to help her, players must find a diner that is rumored to be conducting backroom deals and obtain high-end medicines in exchange for completing missions. Can you save Hinagi’s life and clear Yukinori’s name?
The team also adds that “Re:VER PROJECT -TOKYO- is a new IP in development since 2024 between Toei Animation and Nestopi Inc., an indie game developer based in Tokyo. The story is an original suspense adventure, about “survival life in modern Tokyo”. Players explore Tokyo’s famous spots such as Shinjuku and Shibuya, as well as old neighborhood areas with a traditional atmosphere, which are all drawn in a beautiful pixel art style.”
