428: Shibuya Scramble (PS3)

Description:
428: Shibuya Scramble is a live-action visual novel adventure that takes place in Tokyo’s bustling Shibuya district. The story begins with the apparent kidnapping of a young woman, Maria Osawa, but what seems like a routine ransom case soon spirals into a much larger mystery involving crime, science, and international intrigue. Told through live-action photos and video sequences rather than traditional animation, the game immerses players in a cinematic experience that blends drama, comedy, and suspense.

The narrative unfolds hour by hour over the course of a single day, with players following five main protagonists whose lives intersect in unexpected ways. Choices made in one character’s scenario can drastically affect the fate of others, creating a web of cause-and-effect that branches into dozens of possible endings. Some outcomes are deadly serious, others comedic, and a few simply bizarre — but all contribute to uncovering the truth behind Shibuya’s crisis.

With over 50 different endings, an intricate “timeline jump” system, and a perfectly recreated Shibuya backdrop, 428 is both a mystery and a puzzle, challenging players to piece together events from multiple perspectives until they unlock the true conclusion.

Key Features:

• Live-Action Presentation – Uses real actors, photographs, and video clips to tell its story instead of anime or 3D graphics.

• Multiple Protagonists – Control five different characters, switching between them to advance the timeline.

• Branching Storylines – Every decision can cause ripple effects, changing the outcome of other characters’ stories.

• Over 50 Endings – From tragic to comedic, uncover all possible outcomes as you work toward the “true ending.”

• Award-Winning Narrative – Received a perfect score (40/40) from Famitsu magazine, a rare honor.

• Bonus Content – Includes extra scenarios, including one written by TYPE-MOON (creators of Fate/Stay Night), which inspired the anime series Canaan.
