Zettai Zetsumei Toshi

I never knew Earthquakes were this much fun!

Zettai Zetsumei Toshi is set to release a day after my birthday in Japan!  (4/2)


Here\'s the story/gameplay:

The story then focuses on Masayuki Sudo, a young journalist and the game\'s main character. Sudo has been recently transferred to the Capital Island branch of the newspaper for which he works.

    Arriving at Capital Island\'s new airport, Sudo hops the nearest train and heads to his new post. The train takes him all the way across the massive bridge, and before long, the car begins shaking. An immense earthquake rumbles through Capital Island, completely collapsing the bridge and sending Sudo\'s train crashing into the city. Sudo miraculously survives, but is now surrounded by the demolished shadow of what was once a prosperous town. Now he must find a way off the island and back to the safety of the mainland.

   Gameplay will have players guiding Sudo among the wreckage of the city, often performing death-defying acts such as walking across a flimsy beam or navigating a flooded neighborhood in order to make his way through. Sudo also has to stay alive by keeping hydrated, keeping his eyes peeled for drinking fountains and empty bottles to fill. However, many water sources will be non-functional due to plumbing damage sustained by the quake, so rationing water becomes an important factor for living through the disaster. As if this weren\'t enough, the city will continue to experience aftershocks as Sudo makes his way through, drastically altering the environment and presenting new challenges to overcome.

   Along with this, Sudo will have to rescue other distressed individuals. . .  Vehicles like a bicycle can be acquired in order to move faster through the city, as well.

   The game will take place over many days, even during the night and daytime, and naturally, there will be a fair amount of puzzles to solve in order to succeed, even featuring eerie Silent Hill-esque situations such as a dark subway station illuminated only by the glow of your flashlight. Although there are no biological terrors that will jump at you, the game will still offer plenty of tension through the ongoing disaster. The aftershocks and unstable ground are common throughout the island, continually rearranging the landscape and sending tall buildings toppling.
