Modes: Single player

Releases: Apr 27, 2021 (Nintendo Switch), May 16, 2019 (PC (Microsoft Windows)), Feb 19, 2019 (PlayStation 4)

Death end re;Quest takes the classic turn-based RPG and flips it upside-down. Switch between the RPG action of the game world and the visual novel segments of the real world. In the realm of game development, it may seem all fun and games until the lines between fantasy and reality begin to blur.
