Akiba Lost

What it is

Akiba Lost is a live-action suspense adventure from IzanagiGames, set in Akihabara. Thirteen years ago, six girls disappeared there in an unsolved case called the Akiba Vanishing. Game creator Daiki Shinjo sets out to make a game based on that incident, bringing together six women who represent the city’s subculture. As production begins, the story starts to cross into reality, raising the question of whether AKIBA LOST can be completed. The game combines live-action cinematics with a visual novel that shifts between characters and uses 360° camera direction. It is a single-player game for Windows, with full controller support, DualShock and DualSense support, custom volume controls, a keyboard-only option, and the ability to save at any time. Players can also play without timed input. Its genres are adventure and visual novel.

Who it suits

It suits players looking for a single-player, live-action suspense story set in Akihabara. Its no-timed-input option and controller support may also suit players who prefer those ways to play.

Akiba Lost builds its suspense around an unsolved disappearance and a game production that begins to mirror it. It pairs that premise with live-action scenes and flexible input options.
