Sekai Project has announced that they want to bring Root Double- Before Crime * After Days- Xtend Edition to the West. After a successful Kickstarter the game will be coming to PC this year.
Root Double- Before Crime * After Days- Xtend Edition is based in the year 2030 when a explosions occurred at a nuclear research facility. After the city send in their top rescue squad “Sirius”. The “LABO” factory goes into lock-down and traps the remaining survivors and Sirius inside.
The game focuses on what happens when a group of people are facing deadly radiation poisoning when they don’t have enough anti-radiation medicine. This forces the individuals to show their true colors as they struggle for survival.
Root Double- Before Crime * After Days- Xtend Edition has two main characters, Watase Kasasagi, who is the squad captain and suffers from amnesia shortly after the incident, and Natsuhiko Tenkawa, a student piecing together the clues in the six days before.
Sekai Project has sent us information on how the player will interact with the story-via email:
The only key to survival lies in the player’s hands with the Senses Sympathy System (SSS). Unlike traditional visual novels, Root Double- Before Crime * After Days- Xtend Edition does not have clear cut “choices,” but rather, the game uses SSS to allow the player to manipulate the story based purely upon emotion. Your emotions projected upon the characters, particularly your trust in them, shape the progression of the story. Only with effective use of this system and completion of both protagonists’ stories can the player piece together the truth and hope to discover a way out of the facility.
They have also sent new screen shots.
Root Double- Before Crime * After Days- Xtend Edition will be headed to PC in 2016.
