Anonymous;Code is a visual novel that dives headfirst into the rabbit hole of simulated realities, with a narrative that constantly challenges the player's grasp on what's real. Its core gameplay revolves around "hacking" the world, allowing the player to rewind time, alter probabilities, and rewrite the very fabric of the story. The constant twists and turns, coupled with a dense web of complex concepts, make for a uniquely mind-bending experience that sticks with you long after the credits roll.

About Anonymous;Code

Details
The game takes place in 2037. The story starts on February 6, 2036, when an accident involving computers going berserk destroys many large cities around the world. The massive disaster is named the "2036 Problem", but there's a prediction that there will be a similar incident in 2038. So a group of scientists use the Gaia Supercomputer to create an "Earth Simulator" to prevent it from happening, but fail because human birth potential has dropped dramatically. The scientists then introduce the "Arecibo Message" formula to the Earth Simulator, successfully bringing mankind into another world. They are excited at first, until they realize that human beings in the Earth Simulator themselves created another Earth Simulator. The scientists begin to suspect that they are actually only the product of an Earth Simulator from creatures whose position is above them. The story centers around Takaoka Pollon, a hacker who has the ability to "Save and Load" like in a video game. Using his Hacking Trigger System, he can intervene with the world line around him.
