Live-Action Visual Novel 428: Shibuya Scramble Heads West on PS4 and PC

Spike Chunsoft has announced a western release for 428: Shibuya Scramble.

The game is a popular live-action visual novel, and its coming to both PC and PlayStation 4 sometime in spring of 2018.


Originally released for the Nintendo Wii in 2008 for Japanese users, the game was later ported to PlayStation 3, PSP, and mobile devices.

Here’s a rundown on the game, via Spike Chunsoft:

A kidnapping on the streets of Shibuya brings together a hot-blooded detective, hard-hitting journalist, former gang leader, the head researcher of a big pharma manufacturer and a part-timer stuck in cat costume for a series of events each more unexpected and outrageous than the last. Can they—or the city itself—make it through the day?

Key Features

  • Real Actors and Locations: 428: Shibuya Scramble uses a mix of still photography and live action footage for a cinematic gaming experience that pulls you on a whirlwind tour of downtown Tokyo.
  • Tangled Fates: An innocent choice by one character can have disastrous consequences for another. Unravel the narrative threads, discover how they tie together and use the JUMP system to move between scenarios as five stories run in parallel.
  • Easter Egg Hunt: Sometimes the wrong decision can lead to the right outcome, or at least an amusing game over. With over 50 endings, multiple bonus modes and extra scenarios, there’s more to the city than there seems.
