This is the Director’s Cut! – Akiba’s Trip: Undead & Undressed, which was originally released for PlayStation 3 and PS Vita in 2013, returns with new content and its first appearance on Switch.

Kati Route Story

The “true ending of the story” not told 10 years ago, where the protagonist turns his back on Shizuku to save Kati’s life. The story takes a new turn with the appearance of a new force!

Kati is involved in an incident that causes her “special gene” to awaken. The jokes of her “becoming a real magical girl!?” are short-lived, but Kati learns that if her enormous power is fully awakened, she will die.

There is only one way to save her—to go along with a certain someone and betray Shizuku and the Akihabara Freedom Fighters.

We have a trailer for the game below.
