Akiba's Trip Undead & Undressed - Nintendo Switch

This suburban Tokyo neighborhood has been through a lot, from Japan's post-war reconstruction to the economic crisis of the 1980s.

Always on the cutting edge of progress, with something to offer even the most fetishistic of appetites, it was almost inevitable that this singular technocracy of indulgence would give rise to an entirely new kind of appetite.

Enter the "Synthisters," vampires who feed off the life energy of the unsuspecting, the figurine-seeking, coffee-shop connoisseurs, and cosplayers.



AKIBA'S TRIP tells the story of one such unfortunate soul: a young man named Nanashi who was lured into a trap by the promise of rare goods and turned into a walking undead.

However, he was spared the worst of his fate by the bloody kiss of a mysterious Synthister hunter named Shizuku.

Together with the rest of his comrades in an organization unofficially called "Akiba Freedom Fighters", Nanashi and Shizuku must discover the truth behind the Synthister plague and save Akiba from being overrun by energy vampires.
