Psycho-Pass: Mandatory Happiness for PC launches April 27
Psycho-Pass: Mandatory Happiness will launch for PC via Steam on April 27, NIS America announced at its 2017 press event.
Here’s an overview of the game, via NIS America:
In the new future, everyone’s mental state and disposition can now be quantified.
Everything from emotional tendencies to criminal behavior are recorded and utilized as a guideline to lead everyone to the good life: not only pursuing happiness, but attaining it. Needless to say, the public was excited to begin quantifying their everyday lives. The general term for this value, which determines the morality of an individual’s heart and soul, is commonly known as the Psycho-Pass.
One component of this value is the Crime Coefficient, which is ultimately a number that represents an individual’s potential to commit crime. In order to combat those who attempt to disrupt the status quo, detectives work in tandem to maintain peace and order, composed of Enforcers and Inspectors. The former is tasked with apprehending suspects, while the latter oversees and commands their subordinate colleagues. After all, Enforcers possess high Crime Coefficients. However, because of their criminal nature, they can better understand what makes other criminals tick, allowing them to sniff out suspects and arrest the true perpetrators. But because of their criminal background, Inspectors are needed to provide a calm and sound judgement to each case. Ultimately, all members of the MWPSB have to walk a fine line, maintaining their own mental health while facing the worst that society has to offer.
With justice in their hearts, the detectives of Division 1 tackle each case, confronting humanity’s ugly truths.
But, what lies ahead?
Psycho-Pass: Mandatory Happiness is available now for PlayStation 4 and PS Vita

Story
Our story begins in the mysterious halls of an ancient library...
The Grand Library holds the history of the world within its shelves. Legend says that if one was to tamper with the books kept there, the past itself could be completely rewritten...
A daring adventurer known as IF discovered the location of this revered library and finally crossed its threshold. Little did she know, a disaster of historical proportions was about to occur before her very eyes. Books began to vanish from the library's shelves; the history of the world was disappearing before her and the reasons for this occurrence were shrouded in mystery.
IF sets out on a journey across time to uncover the truth! Will she be able to work together with both the Sega Hard Girls and Goddesses to recover the lost history? Will they really be able to save the world?
Key Features
• A History of SEGA to Love! Introducing Sega Hatsumi, Dreamcast, Sega Saturn, Game Gear, Mega Drive! Familiar faces Neptune, IF, Nepgear, Plutia, and Uzume return as playable characters, all with a wondrous 1080p graphical sheen!

• IF is Her Own Stuntman! Maneuver through treacherous dungeon terrains with various actions like jump, dash, climb, crawl, to reach items or special rewards, and even destroy objects to clear the path ahead!
• Fever Time! Jump to obtain the rainbow gem and unleash Fever Time! This reduces enemy turns during battle, enables HDD form, and raises stats by 10% to give you the advantage!
One of the features of the game is the "Challenge Mode" where you are given a set amount of years and special conditions to accomplish a challenging task, like creating and capturing a plesiosaurus or the infamous tyrannosaurus rex.
In Birthdays the Beginning, you accumulate dozens of items throughout the game to alter the topography, temperature, and moisture - but one of the more interesting items is the Mysterious Glass Jar. This item saves the genetic information of an organism and let's you decide when and where to convert it back into an organism. What will happen when you force a creature into a habitat it's not accustomed to?
With almost 300 unique creatures to capture, you will find yourself constantly reshaping your world and creating new environments and conditions for life, even if it means eliminating an entire species to do so.
Birthdays the Beginning will arrive on the PS4 on May 9, 2017 in North America and May 12, 2017 in Europe. The game will also be available digitally on Steam (Windows) on May 9, 2017. All versions of the game will contain in-game text in English, French, Italian, German, and Spanish.
