Anonymous;Code is a visual novel video game in development by 5pb. and Chiyomaru Studio. It is planned to be released for PlayStation 4, PlayStation Vita and Nintendo Switch in Japan.

Plot

In the year 2036, the "2036 Problem" occurs, where an incident involving computers leads to the destruction of major cities around the world. A similar event is expected to take place in 2038, so a supercomputer called Gaia is used to create an alternate Earth using an Earth Simulator in order to study the possible effects of the impending catastrophe. The experiment was initially inconclusive because of the possibility of low birth rates in the alternate Earth, so a message called the Arecibo Message was used to allow humans to live there. However, humanity in the alternate Earth then create their own Earth Simulator leads to questions about the original Earth's existence. The game takes place in 2037. The protagonist, a hacker named Poron Takaoka, has an ability which allows him to save and load moments, much like save features in video games.

Development and release

Anonymous;Code is written by Chiyomaru Shikura, and developed by 5pb. and his studio Chiyomaru Studio. It is the first stand-alone work developed by the studio,[1][2] and is part of a franchise referred to internally as Science Visual Novel, which also includes Occultic;Nine and is separate from the developers' Science Adventure series.[3][4] The game's theme is "hacking". In contrast with the concept of infinitely expanding horizontal "world lines" used in Shikura's Science Adventure game Steins;Gate, Anonymous;Code uses the concept of infinitely expanding vertical "world layers", with the main character being able to manipulate layers below his.[5]

The game is planned to be released by 5pb. for the PlayStation 4, PlayStation Vita and Nintendo Switch in Japan.[6]
