Our World Is Ended is a visual novel by Red Entertainment. We play as Reiji Gozena, who is a member of Judgement 7 group - a young video game developer team that, while working on a new game, unwittingly created a demonic program that can influence reality.
Our World Is Ended is the classic representative of the visual novel genre, created by Red Entertainment and published by PQube. The game's action takes place in a faithfully reproduced district of Tokyo - Asakusa. Story of Our World Is Ended revolves around a group called Judgement 7 - a young studio, which, while working on a new game, unwittingly creates a demonic program that can affect reality.
While working on a game using a new engine called W.O.R.L.D., of Judgement 7 unwittingly create a demonic program that blurs the boundaries between fiction and reality. As a result, elements of the studio's games begin to destroy Asakusa, one of Tokyo's districts. Reiji Gozen, a member of Judgement 7, makes a heroic attempt to save the world and decides to destroy the demonic program.
Our World Is Ended features classic visual novel solutions. Core of the gameplay are dialogues conducted by the main character with a number of NPCs. The decisions made during this time have a significant influence on the development of the plot, which may eventually lead to different endings. Additionally, a system called S.O.S (Selection Of Soul) has been implemented in the game. It works in moments when the hero has to make an important decision; then the screen shakes and a list of possible choices appears (its length depends on the strength of the hero's emotions - the stronger they are, the more options). However, the options resulting from this system are limited in time - if the decision is not taken quickly enough, the additional options will disappear.
Our World Is Ended uses 2D graphics in manga style. Particular attention should be paid to Asakusa - the district of Tokyo has been faithfully reproduced; even the names of individual streets and places are there.

NintendoWorldReport: 3.5 / 10 by Donald Theriault
Little things in the text set off my editor senses. The plot quickly derails and is so overbearing with the focus on fanservice that I wanted to scream. Maybe PQube should try again with the Judgment 7 version next year, but I'm not holding my breath for it.
RPG Site: 4 / 10 by James Galizio
Our World is Ended feels insecure in its own story, and seems at odds with itself. It's hard to take it seriously when it can't take itself seriously.

PQube Games have once again published an amazing Visual Novel with Our World is Ended. At times I felt like I was within Inception, as we connected to the new world in order to take down the new manifestation of one of our previous games, then it’s like we’ve taken the red pill and we’re being pulled out of the Matrix in order to return to real life. It’s all very exciting and each time you hook into the virtual world you’ll see new events and obstacles the team must overcome in order to survive and get out alive. Sure, there’s a lot of crude and toilet humour, mild small-boob body shaming, lolicon and shotacon questionable moments, and lots of perverted and borderline illegal-in-the-west moments, but it’s all in the name of comedy and fits in perfectly with the personalities of the characters.
