THE WORLD ENDS WITH YOU
This story focuses on Neku Sakuraba: a boy who has lost his memories and awoken to find himself a participant in the "Reapers' Game". The prize? A chance to live again. Failure to do so will result in erasure.
The World Ends with You (or Subarashiki Kono Sekai / It's a Wonderful World) is an ARPG released in 2007 on the NDS with ports to both mobile + Switch.
The combat made full use of the NDS' dual screens, giving players the ability to control both Neku (bottom screen) and his partner (top screen).
The game also received an anime adaptation.
NEO: THE WORLD ENDS WITH YOU
A sequel to the original game, the story follows Rindo Kanade and his friend Fret who end up as players in the "Reapers' Game". In order to return to their reality they have to win the game and avoid erasure.
NEO: The World Ends with you (or Shin Subarashiki Kono Sekai / NEO: It's a Wonderful World) is an ARPG released in 2021 on PS4/Switch.
The story takes place three years after the original and features quite a handful of the original cast. While you can play NEO without playing the original, there's a lot of stuff that makes more sense if you do...at the very least play NEO then the og.
so....why twewy anyway?
well to be honest it's a little silly...twewy was the first T rated game i ever purchased. i remember asking my mom if it was okay to get cause she was pretty strict with media.
actually! i worked really hard to beat the game too. i was struggling with it a lot cause i didnt play any games like it. i remember where i was when i beat twewy for the first time even. (i was on a ferry lol)
my favorite characters are sho, rhyme and rindo
(tho i've got a soft spot for koki and uzuki)
