This year at Gamescom, that last meeting was for Chernobyl Again by Polish studio Vimagineo. There’s always something special about the last appointment you have at a trade show – that moment where you realize it’s the last one after a few grueling days, before you can go home and let everything sink in. It’s still a visual novel so don’t expect a fully immersive and interactive 3D world, but lovely character models and some excellent voice acting and music bring this one to life, and we can’t wait to see the next two episodes. Thanks to some great writing, the episode wraps up in a very engaging manner this way.Īnd as with previous MyDearest productions, Dyschronia: Chaos Alternate – Episode 1 convincingly puts you inside an anime visual novel through the power of VR. The Ace Attorney-like courtroom drama sections near the end, where you make and defend your case based on the clues you’ve uncovered, fare much better in comparison. Dick vibe to it all that we really enjoyed.īesides the investigation at the heart of the game, Dyschronia: Chaos Alternate also features simple stealth sections that feel a bit undercooked, but they don’t get in the way of the story. Another neat mechanic involves switching between the normal world and the ‘augmented dreaming’ world where you can engage with people’s consciousnesses. As you do this, you can make use of your ability to touch objects and “see” some of the memories that are attached to them, delving into both the care and your own personal history (because as the anime norm goes, you suffer from amnesia yourself). Traveling around the city, you’ll be interviewing witnesses and other people of interest as you search crime scenes. As Hal Scion, you and your robot buddy Lily have to figure out what happened and who was responsible. In a plot twist that reminded us of Minority Report, a system that prevents crime by reading people’s feelings fails when the city’s founder is suddenly found murdered.
