Who will enjoy it

This is suited to players looking for an action- and fantasy-themed RPG with a futuristic setting, a focused single-player structure, and a third-person perspective.

Storyline

In a near-future world, a substance found in the human brain grants people extrasensory powers. Society relies on the Other Suppression Force (OSF) to protect the city of New Himuka from the Others: grotesque, mindless mutants that descend from the orbiting Extinction Belt to devour human brains. The story follows two new OSF recruits, Yuito Sumeragi and Kasane Randall. Both wield powerful psychokinesis and offer their own perspective on the unfolding events. As they fight the Others alongside a squad of gifted comrades, they uncover dark secrets behind the invaders and the society created to oppose them.
