The Caligula Effect 2

Mechanics

The Caligula Effect 2 makes use of the third-person perspective (TPP). The player traverses Redo, talks to its inhabitants and completes quests. During the game we also recruit new to the Go-Home Club, each having two identities - the virtual one shown in Redo, and the real one which we can only discover over time. To establish relationships with our allies we must complete their personal quests and talk to them in a special chatroom called WIRE; the closer our relationship, the more we'll learn about them.

During our journey we'll face numerous opponents. Combat is turn-based, and to succeed we must skillfully use our party's abilities. The game features a special system called the Imaginary Chain, letting us preview the effects of a successful move; this lets us chain attacks into deadly combos or protect weaker team in tough situations. By meeting certain conditions we can also activate X-Jack mode and call X for help, who, through song, provides us with various buffs.
