Overview
A world collapsed by Peccatomania—the Original Sindrome—that leads to harming self and others. To save his little sister, Kristin, who has developed Peccatomania, Rust logs into the full-dive online game “Archetype Arcadia” which is the only means to suppress the symptoms. Hope, lamentation, joy, betrayal, and inevitable death exist in the game where people fight by changing their memories into Avatars. A voluminous visual novel that weaves a gruesome story guided by lost memories.
About the World of Archetype Arcadia
The name of the full-dive online game left in Rust’s world. By logging in, it is possible to suppress the progression of Peccatomania which is known as an incurable disease. In the game, players engage in battles using Memory Cards, and those who Game Overed lose their rationality in the real world. Even in the collapsed world, energy is somehow supplied, and the service continues.
Peccatomania (Original Sindrome) in the World of Archetype Arcadia
A mysterious disease that spread worldwide a few centuries ago. Initial symptoms are nightmares, and as it progresses, patients suffer auditory and optical illusions even during day time. In the terminal stage, they develop intense aggression and harm others. This resulted in the collapse of human civilization.
About Memory Cards
What players’ memories have turned into cards. Players manifest unique Avatars based on these memories and fight each other. If a Memory Card is damaged, the player actually loses that memory. If all the Memory Cards are damaged, it will be Game Over.
