Updated from its original release for a new generation, AKIBA’S TRIP: Undead and Undressed Director’s Cut places players in the role of Nanashi, an otaku mysteriously transformed into a vampire and thrust into a conspiracy of “Synthisters” plaguing the electronics mecca. Alongside a colorful cast of allies known as the “Akiba Freedom Fighters,” Nanashi must defend his fellow otaku from vampire predators, discovering that the best strategy to defeat them is to strip them to their bare essentials and expose them to the cleansing power of the sun! Featuring an all new “true ending” route fully voiced in English and Japanese starring lovable maid Kati, original side quests introducing more offbeat otaku denizens of Akihabara, and an arsenal of new weapons and armor, AKIBA’S TRIP: Undead and Undressed Director’s Cut brings modern supernatural action and adventure for the Japanophile of discerning tastes.
