ANONYMOUS;CODE for Nintendo Switch

The sixth entry for Science Adventure

ANONYMOUS;CODE is a pay-to-play visual novel game developed by MAGES Inc. It’s the sixth installment of the Science Adventure series, which consists of other entries that span several different mediums. This single-player game seeks to provide answers to the unresolved questions from the other parts of the multi-entry series. 

In ANONYMOUS;CODE, the player will meet the protagonists Pollon Takaoka and Cross Yumikawa who are so-called professional hackers, currently trying to make ends meet in a futuristic Tokyo — or, rather the parts of the city untouched by the “Sad Morning” disaster that transpired on February 6, 2036.

Hacking the moment

ANONYMOUS;CODE is based on the concept of infinitely expanding vertical “world layers” and is themed around hacking. It follows the story of a young hacker named Pollon, who acquires the special ability to save and load a moment in person — much like the features found in video games. He gains this ability when he encounters a mysterious girl named Momo.

Meeting Momo sets off a chain of events that thrust him into a world riddled with danger and mystery, and he gains the mysterious ability while he’s escaping the assailants who are in pursuit of Momo. The game presents an interesting premise and will take you on an exciting adventure as Pollon hacks the myriad branches of reality, pausing, saving, and loading until he stumbles upon the pivotal event that could reshape the world. 

The visual novel style of this adventure necessitates cooperation between the player and Pollon plus the strategic use of the Save and Load function. Using the Hacking Trigger, an interactive scenario-branching system, the player makes real-time decisions that directly shape the course of the story. However, note that this game has rather steep system requirements that need to be met in order to ensure smooth gameplay.

An immersive and world-altering experience

ANONYMOUS;CODE offers a thrilling gaming experience as you follow Pollon on his world-altering adventure and resolve the unanswered questions of the Science Adventure series. The heart of the game lies in its Hacking Trigger system, which enables real-time decisions affecting the storyline. However, keep in mind that it has specific system requirements. Meeting these requirements can help you better enjoy playing the game and gain a more immersive experience.
