Description

In Kibō: Grand District, you lead The Bureau—at least, that is what you remember. One of the area’s central organizations, this French high-tech company built its fortune on a revolutionary technology called Immersion Total, or IT. Instead of keeping players behind a screen, IT sends their minds into an explorable synthetic quantum world, turning a game into their own lived story. A predefined universe and a few adjustments are enough to begin the journey. Nothing is predetermined: the Central Core, known as CC, simultaneously manages every possible evolution. Yet this extraordinary system has a flaw that The Bureau has never officially disclosed. Sometimes, for reasons that remain unknown, a player’s mind does not fully return from the game. With so many factors potentially influencing the outcome, the cause remains uncertain. Since returning from Slow Fall, the company’s first prototype, you have been suffering from this very problem—and can barely remember your life before IT. Now The Bureau is trying to replace you, held back only by the lack of an official excuse. You do not know why retaining control matters so much to you, but the determination to remain at the top persists. To hold on to your position, you will need to find people you can trust in the Grand District—an ocean of sharks where choosing your allies could be your greatest challenge.
