Dramatical Murder Overview

Story

Dramatical Murder is set in the near future of Japan on the fictional island of Midorijima. At some point in the game's recent history, the island was privatized by the powerful Tōe Company (Tōe Zaibatsu) and turned into a resort called Platinum Jail (Purachina Jeiru), with the island's original residents forced to live in the Former Residents' District (Kyū-Jūmin-ku). Protagonist Aoba Seragaki lives on the island and works at a store named Junk Shop Heibon (lit. "mediocre"), hoping to live a simple life. However, he is drawn into the popular cyber game Rhyme (Raimu) with its virtual world and its All Mates (Ōru Meito), mobile devices that appear as if they are the owner's pets, as well as the hand-to-hand combat Ribstiez (Ribusutīzu) game, ending all semblance of a peaceful life for Aoba.
