AKIBA LOST
Unravel the Akiba's Spirited Away mystery in this live-action suspense adventure.
What is AKIBA LOST?
Thirteen years ago, six girls vanished in Akihabara in the unsolved case known as “Akiba's Spirited Away”. Today, director Daiki Shinjo announces a live-action game based on the incident, gathering six women who each embody a facet of Akihabara subculture — and their story begins to move as reality and game interweave.
Developed by IzanagiGames with NTV and AX-ON, AKIBA LOST is a multi-angle ensemble suspense adventure built from live-action footage that you investigate rather than merely watch.
