Revive… Sosei
Revive… Sosei is a follow-up to Dōkoku Soshite…, featuring a similar
story premise and gameplay. The protagonist of the game, a high-school
student, finds himself and other characters (mostly female high-school
students) trapped in a marine research facility. Exploring the abandoned
building, the hero discovers the research staff died under mysterious
circumstances. Was this a murder committed by a human being, or some sort of
an unknown evil force? The hero does not have much time to think, since
whatever took the lives of the scientists also threatens to murder them…
Like its predecessor, the game is a hybrid of Japanese and Western adventure
styles. The player navigates the protagonist around the facility over an
isometric map, entering rooms and exploring them. In many places there are
traps that should be avoided, and puzzles to solve. Most puzzles involves
finding and manipulating inventory items. Some puzzles have multiple
solutions, and sometimes the solutions the player chooses lead to different
endings. Like in many other Japanese adventures, multiple endings also depend
on the protagonist’s behavior towards the girls who are trapped with him.
Added to Revive… Sosei are timed sequences, during which the player’s
inability to act quickly might lead to a premature end.
