428is set in theShibuyaward ofTokyowhere the narrative is presented using a combination of scrolling text, live action stills and video sequences. The game shares many story and gameplay elements with Chunsoft's 1998 sound novel gameMachi,the most prominent being the locale, Shibuya. Although Chunsoft does not openly state428is a sequel, the game contains numerous references toMachi,and an early marketing slogan reads "Breaking a long silence, Shibuya gets going again."

The game has received high praise from critics, earning a perfect score inFamitsu Weekly,Japan's largest circulating video game magazine, as well as acclaim from international publications. The game also features a special scenario contributed byKinoko NasuandTakashi TakeuchiofType-Moonfame, who wrote and provided character designs for it respectively. This scenario by Type-Moon got a sequel as ananimetelevision series titledCanaan,which aired inJapanfrom July to September 2009.[4]A series of four novels based on the game were published byKodanshabetween the months of September and December 2009.[5]

Gameplay

edit
The game's Time Chart Mode, which allows players to change events by using the chart

428is avisual noveladventure game where players take part in events from the perspectives of multiple protagonists, all acting in parallel with no knowledge of each other. Set in the modern Japanese city of Shibuya, Tokyo, the characters are involved in a mystery that cannot be solved without their interactions, and the plot is advanced by following clues found within the game's text and accompanying video sequences and making decisions on which path each protagonist should follow. Depending on theplayer's choices,a number of new scenarios become available, which ultimately lead to differentoutcomes and endings.[6]The game has over a hundred alternate story pathways and 87 different possible endings.[7][8]

Parallel gameplay mechanic

edit

Players read through and switch between multiple stories that take place in the same timeframe, each seen from a different character's point of view. Decisions made in one character's story can inadvertently affect the story of another character in unforeseen ways. The format is similar to earliernon-linearvisual novels with multiple perspectives, such asMachi(1998)[9]andEve Burst Error(1995),[10]and can also be compared tonon-linearhyperlink filmssuch asPulp Fiction(1994),Magnolia(1999) orVantage Point(2008).

For instance, the game opens with a detective (protagonist #1) waiting for a kidnapper to pick up the ransom money, which is being carried by a girl. Another character, a young man out for a walk (protagonist #2), happens to encounter the scene. Protagonist #2 now has a choice to approach the ransom-carrying girl or not; If he approaches, his story reaches a dead end by being wrongfully arrested, but not only that, the detective's story also reaches a dead end bymakingthe wrongful arrest.[11]

The player's role is to figure out whose actions are affecting whom, and find the right choices to lead every protagonist to the conclusions of their storylines. The game offers a time chart screen where the events of all the protagonists' stories are listed in chronological order.

Blue-colored text is interspersed within the body text. The colored text, called Tips, can be selected like ahyperlink.Tips, when selected, provide a short page of explanatory text, much like atooltip.Tips can reveal the definition of a technical term, provide some insight on the topic, or just provide a short digression from the story at hand. Red-colored text, also selectable, marks the name of a different protagonist and allows the player to jump from one protagonist to another. Jumping from red text is often the only way to make a character's story move forward.

The game unfolds in a ten-hour period, which begins at 10:00AM of April 28 and ends at 8:00PM. The game is broken up into one-hour segments. Leading every protagonist to the end of the hour unlocks the next hour to be played.

Story

edit

A major event that could jolt the world has been triggered in the streets of Shibuya. Five main characters have 10 hours to come together and solve the mystery behind what originally seemed like an ordinary ransom kidnap case.

The game is acrime thriller,but has multiple scenarios that cover several different narrativegenres.For example, Shinya Kano's scenario is ahardboiledcopthriller,Tama's scenario is aslapstick comedy,and Osawa's scenario is apsychological horror.[12]

Main story

edit

On April 27, college student Maria Osawa was kidnapped on her way to a mixer, which included her twin sister, Hitomi, and her professor. The kidnappers contacted the Osawa residence and demanded for ¥50,000,000 to be delivered by Hitomi at theStatue of HachikōinShibuya.The police force, including Detective Shinya Kano, surrounded Hachiko the next morning to catch the kidnappers. Once contact was made and the kidnapper ran with the case, Kano chased after them. Meanwhile, former gang member Achi Endo witnesses a Man with a Cane and a gun approach Hitomi, and Achi attempts to intercept and take Hitomi to safety. She explains that the kidnappers told her to find and enter a blue van, and Achi agrees to take her there, all while avoiding the Man with the Cane.

At the Osawa residence, Maria and Hitomi’s father,virologistKenji Osawa, receives a threatening email with images of unauthorized clinical trials on anantiviral drughe had worked on for aviruscalled the Ua Virus. Elsewhere, freelance journalist Minoru Minorikawa offers his services to his former boss, Teuro Toyama, in filling 12 pages for his next issue of his magazine, with the proof deadlined for 8 PM, and enlists the help of novice Chiaki Iso as they search for stories to write.

That same day, an amnesiac girl nicknamed Tama applies for a job in a mascot costume at a sales demo, in order to buy a special necklace. However, her boss Jun’ichi Yanagashita appears to be a swindler, and her costume’s zipper is stuck. Minorikawa attends the sales demo, which ends catastrophically, but after a long morning of work, Tama is paid and Minorikawa gets his interview with Yanagashita. With the necklace purchased, she realizes her costume’s zipper has gone loose, taking it off and revealing the amnesiac Tama as Maria Osawa.

Kano pursues the kidnappers and eventually is assisted by an American from the US Embassy named Jack Stanley. They find the kidnappers dead in their hideout, attacked by someone named “Canaan.” As Achi and Hitomi are pursued by remaining kidnappers, a woman appears, naming herself Canaan and Maria’s close friend from overseas, and reveals it's her fault that Maria was kidnapped. They eventually approach the blue van, but it explodes with Achi, Hitomi, Canaan, Minorikawa, Chiaki, and Maria nearby. Maria is held hostage by the Man with the Cane and Minorikawa spies on Stanley and Kano. Stanley reveals he is aCIAagent hunting down a criminal named Alphard, who had infected Maria with the Ua virus, let her loose in the city, and seeks Hitomi to steal the antiviral hidden in her blood.

Achi and Hitomi head to the hospital to check on Achi’s sister, Suzune, who has been dying from a heart condition, and had collapsed earlier that day. When the doctor informs his that his father, Daisuke, stated a perfect donor would arrive soon, Achi discovers that Hitomi’s blood-type is the rareBombay blood,a perfect match for Suzune, revealing his father had hired the Man with the Cane to kill her. Kano meets up with Detective Tateno —the Man with the Cane— who holds Maria hostage and reveals that the Endos were his childhood friends, and he seeks Hitomi to cure Suzune. Maria remembers her past, and escapes when Canaan attacks Tateno. Maria, Hitomi, Achi, and Stanley arrive at the Endo residence, where Daisuke reveals that he worked with Alphard but mistakenly kidnapped the wrong twin. As Kano and Canaan arrive, Maria collapses as the virus activates, and Alphard makes contact, offering the password for the antiviral in exchange for a sample of Hitomi’s blood.

Achi seeks help from his former gang, the S.O.S., to apprehend Alphard, and with Minorikawa’s intervention they accept. Canaan and the reformed Tateno take Maria to the lab to rendezvous with Osawa, while Hitomi, Kano, Achi, and S.O.S. head to the Statue of Hachikō to meet with Alphard: the twins' college professor. They apprehend him, prevent a Ua outbreak in the public square, and obtain the password, but it is revealed that "Alphard" had been carrying a bomb. Stanley discovered the truth: “Canaan” is not the real Canaan, but the real Alphard, and her true target is the laboratory. Stanley rushes to the lab to apprehend Alphard with Tateno’s help, Osawa administers the cure to Maria, and Kano and Achi (with Minorikawa's help) stop the bomb usingdry ice.

Maria wakes up and realizes that if Alphard is pretending to be Canaan, then the real Canaan must already be dead. In the Normal Ending, Maria attempts to kill Alphard, but she retaliates and kills Osawa instead; the CIA arrive and arrest Alphard, only to reveal they were working with her as they head to the airport. In the True Ending, Maria doesn’t attempt to kill Alphard, and eventually receives a call from the real Canaan, alive and well; at the airport, Alphard confronts the real Canaan, and they draw their guns at each other as a gunshot is let loose.
