- Crime and cat mascots in 428 Shibuya Scramble - 13 October 2018
Apparently a lot of things can happen over the course of a single day in Tokyo's Shibuya ward. In 428 Shibuya Scramble there's kidnapping, unethical virology experiments, a hitman is on the loose, and also somebody's got themselves stuck in a cat costume.

- Live-action VN 428: Shibuya Scramble is bound for PC - 6 July 2018
Tell me if you’re heard this one before; a former gang leader, a detective, a scientist, a journalist and a fuzzy cat mascot walk into a bar… Okay, that one loses something in translation, but it’s a great set-up for an FMV thriller. Chunsoft’s visual novel 428: Shibuya Scramble made a splash when it launched in Japan in 2008, and it’s now headed westwards to PC this September, remastered by Abstraction Games. (more…)
