A new frontier in live-action suspense games, combining a multi-perspective visual novel where you switch between characters, high-quality live-action cinematics, and immersive 360° camera direction.

The stage is Akihabara, Japan’s iconic subculture town. Game creator Shinjo has gathered six unique actresses who each embody the spirit of Akihabara.
Winner of the 2025 Japan Game Awards – Future Division.

Story
Thirteen years ago, six girls mysteriously disappeared in Akihabara — a series of unsolved cases known as "The Akiba Vanishing".

At the annual Tokyo Game Expo, Daiki Shinjo (played by Hiromitsu Kitayama), once hailed as a "genius creator," boldly announces the development of a new game inspired by this very incident: AKIBA LOST.
But soon thereafter, the strange disappearances begin again.

The cast of the game includes his sister Aoi Shinjo, who works at a maid cafe, underground idol Kokone Nagato, food writer Moe Kurosu, shrine maiden Chihiro Jimbo, cosplayer Wakana Yusa, and game streamer Yukimi Kurahashi — each a colorful icon of Akihabara’s vibrant subculture.

The story they were supposed to perform soon begins to bleed into reality.
It all starts with a threatening phone call — and the sudden disappearance of Aoi.

"Stop developing the game now. Or else...the tragedy will repeat again."

Can Shinjo finish developing the game? Can he protect everyone? Who is behind it all? And what really happened 13 years ago?
The choices determining how the story ends are now in your hands.
