Code Realize | Special Edition

Steampunk interactive fiction game Code: Realize ~ Guardian of Rebirth ~ will receive the special edition treatment when it releases on the Nintendo Switch.

Developed by Idea Factory, the Code: Realize games let players explore the story of Cardia and her adventures in a steampunk version of Victorian England, where she encounters a cast of intriguing gentlemen based on characters from history and literature.

Publisher Aksys Games describes the special edition as:

Filled with a bouquet of premium items that will set any fan’s heart aflutter, the Collector’s Edition includes the Code: Realize: ~ Guardian of Rebirth ~ game, an acrylic keychain featuring beloved characters from the game, and, for the first time in a Code: Realize release, a 60-page art book and a soundtrack CD. The Collector’s Edition is expected to be available at retailers and on the Aksys Games store for $59.99. A Standard Edition will also be available for $39.99.

In Guardian, Cardia — a young woman afflicted with poisonous blood and deadly skin — will encounter well-known literary and historical characters, including Victor Frankenstein, Abraham van Helsing, and even Queen Victoria. The game features five different romance routes, original artwork, and a score by Myu.

Code: Realize ~ Guardian of Rebirth ~ is slated for a February 2020 release.
