Type-NOISE: Shonen Shojo explores the lives of traumatized youths trapped in the enigmatic ‘Noise Scramble City,’ a maze crafted from their deepest fears. As amnesiac teens, players will navigate multi-ending escape adventures, where solving puzzles and confronting past traumas is the key to liberation. Here, ‘Noise’ represents painful memories and events colored by doubt, jealousy, and more. The game challenges players to face these memories in order to find a way out.
You’ll meet compelling characters like Zena Yugamizora, an icy superhero enthusiast, and Itsuki Hozuki, a young man battling jealousy. Then there’s Honoka Kirishima, a skeptical girl, and Kaito Shimizu, who struggles with self-doubt. Hiyori Endo brings her streaming prowess and a knack for fibbing to the mix, while Soto Ochibana offers support with honesty. And let’s not forget Specter, the whimsical city watcher, ready to lend a hand whenever ‘noise’ becomes overwhelming.
The game mechanics involve escaping locked rooms using your Noise as a guide. As these teens explore, they’ll uncover items and clues linked to their pasts, which will aid in their escape. From twisted rooms that reflect each character’s inner turmoil to puzzle pieces that trigger memory ‘Shards of Noise,’ players are in for an immersive investigative experience. By piecing together these Shards, players unlock past memories, offering crucial insights to solve the mysteries that shroud ‘Noise Scramble City.’
As you dig into these past events, you’ll decipher each character’s Noise, using these revelations to unravel the game’s central mysteries. Additionally, analyzing Noise will open up new pathways and interactions with previously inaccessible objects, expanding the depth of exploration.
