The Caligula Effect: Overdose staff discuss remake in Weekly Famitsu

The latest issue of Weekly Famitsu has an interview with The Caligula Effect: Overdose producer Takuya Yamanaka, scenario writer Tadashi Satomi, and character designer Oguchi on the newly announced remake.

Get the tidbits below.

• The previous game was largely a success. However, we regretted not being able to put some things into the game.
• So rather than make a sequel, we decided to remake the previous game.
• We tossed the user interface of the previous game entirely, and are remaking it with white and gold as our base colors.
• We’re not just limited to the user interface, we’re revising everything that we’re concerned about.
• Since it was my first title that dealt with modern pathology, I wasn’t sure how far I to go, so I held back, but since a lot of people embraced it, I will try to go further this time.
• Since we’re adding new characters, we’re reorganizing the story from the beginning. Since Overdose doesn’t simply add to the scenario of the previous game, it’s being rewritten from the beginning.
• Depending on the gender of the protagonist, the reactions of your peers and the content of your dialogue options will change.
• If you choose to play as a girl, there will be places you can go where a male protagonist can’t go.
• We’ll be recording the new characters’ lines from here on, but it seems like we’ll be putting Kenji Akabane (Eijin’s voice actor) through his paces.
• I had so much fun writing the Musician Route that it ended up about twice as long as the Go-Home Club scenario from the previous game.
• The Musician Route will have a mechanism related to a certain system from the previous game. You can enjoy it with the sense of reading a mystery. There will also be surprising new mechanisms.
• You can play the Musician Route on your first playthrough, in which you can form a party with the musicians.
• The protagonist becomes an ally of the musicians, so that means nto only additional characters, but also new songs…
• The TV anime starting in April 2018 will be one cour. The anime will also have new songs.
• We’re trying to get people excited in order to make this into a series. We’re making it again with the feeling of the series’ first entry.
• Development is currently 70 percent complete.

The Caligula Effect: Overdose is due out for PlayStation 4 on May 17, 2018 in Japan.

《Caligula Overdose》新要素与新角色详细介绍 大幅进化

　　Furyu不久前举办发表会正式公布了PS4版的《卡里古拉 过量》，而本周的电击PS杂志配合着PS4版的新画面详细介绍了这款作品的特色。

　　《卡里古拉 过量》是根据PSV版《卡里古拉》经过大幅度修改的重制作品，目前预定在2018年5月17日发售。游戏以含有过剩摄取药物含义的“OVERDOSE”为副标题，展现了游戏在重制时添加的内容之多。
　　


主要的新要素

　　可以选择主角性别：前作中玩家只能使用男性主角，而新作中玩家可以自由选择主角性别。女性主角的声优为泽城美雪，正好是原来男性主角声优泽城千春的姐姐。当玩家选择女性主角时，各角色的反应和选择项的内容也会产生相应的变化。

　　新的归宅部成员：前作中包含主角在内归宅部共有9名成员，本作中将新增1男1女合计2人。新成员根据主角性别不同其态度会发生巨大变化。关于两名新成员的介绍会在后面详述。

　　增加禁断的“乐士路线”：为谬提供乐曲并守护着她，作为归宅部的敌人登场的“执拗反复之乐士”，本作中主角可以背叛归宅部，加入谬的一方体验禁断的故事剧情。

　　演出重新制作并改进系统：游戏登陆PS4平台，在画面方面有非常大的进化，并且用户界面与战斗系统都进行了改进，游玩起来更加容易。



新的归宅部成员

琵琶坂永至(CV：赤羽根健治)：因是学年第一的秀才而闻名的3年级学生，五官端正笑容充满亲切感，以其充满知性绅士般的言行及能言善辩的口才成为归宅部内可以依靠的前辈。在梅比乌斯谁都会以理想的姿态出现，永至当然也不例外，表面上很完美的人实际上内心充满着阴暗的一面。
　　
天本彩声(CV：长绳麻理亚)：以可爱的外表引人注目的同年级美少女。面对女性时温柔冷静，但面对男性时无法直视对方且行为诡异。因此根据玩家选择的主角性别不同，她的态度会完全不一样。

　　当然，原来的归宅部成员也都会继续登场。本作的角色设计师为おぐち，精美的人设也是这款游戏的卖点之一。



新的乐士

　　执拗反复的乐士是为了维持梅比乌斯为谬提供乐曲的作曲者集团。为他们提供乐曲的都是现实中著名的VOCALOID P主们。

　　与想要脱离虚伪世界梅比乌斯的归宅部不同，执拗反复的乐士想要守护这个理想的世界。归宅部增加新成员的同时乐士也有了新的伙伴。而在本作新增的“乐士路线”中，玩家将可以与乐士们并肩作战。

　　本次公开了两名新乐士斯托尔克(乐曲提供者：DECO*27)和梔子(乐曲提供者：ピノキオピー)。乐士们和归宅部成员一样内心拥有阴暗的一面。要踏入他们的内心深处需要有相应的觉悟，而一旦走入乐士路线就会背叛归宅部的伙伴。因好奇心踏入的话，会有凄惨的展开等待着玩家。

The Caligula Effect: Overdose details dual routes, systems, and characters

FuRyu has relaunched the official website for The Caligula Effect: Overdose, providing a host of new details about the game’s dual story routes, updated features, and new and returning characters.

Get the information below.

■ Introduction



Mobius is a perfect digital world created for the imagined benefit of humanity by μ, a virtual idol vocaloid program that attained sentience and self-awareness.

Only humans who are suffering in the real world and strongly related to μ’s songs are lured into Mobius.

Once they enter, people often forget that the real world exists. Regardless of age or gender, they are turned into students and forced to experience high school over and over, which μ considers “the most radiant time in a person’s life.”

In order to grant the wishes of every Mobius resident, μ curates Mobius’ creative energy by singing songs composed by the “Ostinato Musicians.”

Currently, the city called Miyabi is the only physical area that exists within Mobius. Its buildings and terrain are drawn from the residents’ memories of the real world.

In The Caligula Effect: Overdose, the story progresses as two major routes, the “Go-Home Club Route” and the “Musicians Route.”

Go-Home Club Route



In Mobius, inhabitants become their “ideal selves” that they couldn’t achieve in the real world and then repeat high school endlessly. The protagonist (you) and his or her classmates are outsiders within Mobius that have realized the existence of a reality outside Mobius. Each student has a strong desire to return to reality for their own individual reasons, and form an organization called the “Go-Home Club” to find a way to escape Mboius in order to return to reality.

Of course, for the Mobius inhabitants outside of the Go-Home Club, they are more than happy to remain in this happy world. The Go-Home Club, which is trying to destroy this happiness and return to harsh reality, can only be considered traitors in this world. As the president of the Go-Home Club, the protagonist (you), who meets another songstress named Aria and gains the power to fight, challenges the creator μ and her Ostinato Musician subordinates, and will find a way to escape Mobius by any means necessary. Even if it means kiling the creator that freed them from their own suffering.

Musicians Route



The Ostinato Musicians are composers who protect μ and provide music. In order to preserve the world of Mobius, the Ostinato Musicians are trying to eliminate the disruptive Go-Home Club. The protagonist, who became the president of the Go-Home Club, meets Thorn, the leader of the Ostinato Musicians expected to be the enemy.

Thorn speaks. “I understand that you suffered, and came to Mobius.”

Thorn asks. “And yet, do you truly want to return to reality?”

Thorn laughs. “You are only being used. You must learn both sides of the story.

Using the power of μ, Thorn gives the protagonist the abilities of a Musician, as well as a new appearance as a Musician. From that point, the protagonist (you), will use your appearances as the president of the Go-Home Club pursuing μ, and as an Ostinato Musician protecting μ, to fully understand both sides of the story of Mobius, the world of happiness. And you will eventually be faced with a final decision. Betraying the trust of your comrades comes with a massive toll, and what lies ahead is…

Character Scenarios



In Mobius, you can become a high school students regardless of your age or gender, and attain your ideal self. In other words, your appearance and gender in Mboius is not necessarily the same as in reality.

Even though they are not the Go-Home Club, the Ostinato Musicians are no exception to this fact. They also suffered in reality for their own reasons, and were imprisoned by Mobius. Each has their own deep trauma and complex.

Each of the Ostinato Musicians are covering up their suffering in reality, and only the protagonist (you) can get to the core of their secrets.

However, if you sense danger or develop a feeling of dislike in the true nature they are about to reveal, it is not a problem to turn back. The raw pain that they display may betray the image that the protagonist (you) wanted to love and get closer to.

■ System

The Caligula Effect Reconstructed in Unreal Engine 4

The comfort of the controls, the production, and the visuals have been completely redone. The unique “Imaginary Chain” battle system has also been further evolved to become easier to play. Many improvements over the previous game are included to achieve optimal gameplay. As the name implies, it has overdosed.





Imaginary Chain: New Sensation Command Battles that Combine the Exhiliaration of an Action Game with the Strategy of a Tactical RPG

New sensation command battles that combine the exhilaration of an action game with the strategy of a tactical RPG. The battle system visualizes and predicts character actions before they occur. In The Caligula Effect: Overdose, the battle system has been reformed from the previous game, and has evolved to become even easier to play.















Causality Link: Friendships with Students Gone Astray in Mobius Have Also Been Enhanced

There are over 500 students in the game, each with their own unique names and profile. In the real world, they all experienced trauma and escape to Mobius to live an idyllic high school life. In The Caligula Effect: Overdose, friendships with students who have lost their way in Mobius have also been enhanced. And also in the game, your connections with them will become the key to going home.

■ Characters

◆ Go-Home Club

Protagonist (voiced by Chiharu Sawashiro)



As the president of the Go-Home Club, his goal is to escape from the false-but-perfect world Mobius.

Despite the fact that he was the last to join the Go-Home Club, various circumstances compelled Shogo to hand over the presidency to him.



NEW: Protagonist (Female) (voiced by Miyuki Sawashiro)



As the president of the Go-Home Club, his goal is to escape from the false-but-perfect world Mobius.

Despite the fact that she was the last to join the Go-Home Club, various circumstances compelled Shogo to hand over the presidency to her.

Shogo Satake (voiced by Shunsuke Takeuchi)



A 3rd Year student, he’s the former president of the Go-Home Club.

Despite only being 18 years old inside Mobius, it seems he has experienced the “loop” in Mobius many times.

He is prone to philosophical thoughts and has a lethargic demeanor. He hides deep hopelessness and a strong desire for the real world behind his sleepy-looking eyes.





Izuru Minezawa (voiced by Yuichiro Umehara)



A 2nd Year student on the verge of an awakening.

He’s 17 in Mobius and has been trapped there for one year.

His appearance in Mobius is that of a little-known deceased celebrity from the real world. Izuru is withdrawn and emotionless, demonstrating no concern or interest in associating with others.

He knows that Mobius is a false world, but refuses the Go-Home Club’s repeated invitations. He prefers to seek his own means of escape.





Kotaro Tomoe (voiced by Yoshimasa Hosoya)



Kotaro is a nosy boy whose cheerful attitude doesn’t fit his large build. He often sets the mood at the Go-Home Club.

Kotaro simply can’t leave people alone if they need help. His favorite words are “love” and “friendship.” He has a deep respect for his father and does not hesitate to say that his dream is to become a rescue worker. When you first meet him, he seems like a good guy—bright and energetic—but as time goes on, it becomes apparent that he’s a troublemaker.





Kensuke Hibiki (voiced by Shota Aoi)



Kensuke is a 1st Year high school student.

He is 16 in Mobius and has been there for two years.

An Ostinato Musician who produces songs for μ, Kensuke is an enemy of the Go-Home Club. His battle with the Go-Home Club forces him to question his own existence and he ultimately decides to join his former enemies in their quest to return home.





Kotono Kashiawaba (voiced by Rie Murakawa)



A beautiful young girl with a soothing quality and a prim, mature aura about her.

She’s charming in a way that manages to be both innocent and seductive. She’s kind to all she meets, making her extremely popular with boys.

Kotono fills an older sister role in the Go-Home Club.





Naruko Morita (voiced by Ari Ozawa)



Naruko is a 2nd Year high school student. She is 17 years old and has been in Mobius for one year.

An insatiably curious 2nd Year student, she loves rumors and scandals. She acts like a paparazzi sometimes. She multitasks well and can post on social media while carrying on a conversation about a totally different subject.

She’s been investigating the Go-Home Club, which has recently become a sensationalist trending topic throughout the school.





Mifue Shinohara (voiced by Rie Takanashi)



Mifue has short-cropped hair and large eyes. She eats and laughs a lot. Her favorite things are whipped cream and chocolate cornets.

She has a cheerful, bold personality, and often lightens the mood among the other girls.

She’s good friends with Suzuna, who is in the same grade as her.





Suzuna Kagura (voiced by Minami Tanaka)



She’s a quiet girl that always has a forlorn look on her face…

She has trouble maintaining eye contact when she speaks.

She’s timid, but once she sets her mind to something she’ll always find a way to achieve it. When she’s determined, her voice is sometimes so loud that people around her have to cover their ears or risk deafness.





NEW: Ayana Amamoto (voiced by Maria Naganawa)



A second-year high school student who is quick-witted, strong-willed, and has eye-catching beauty.

However, she has trouble speaking and even making eye-contact with men. She is often violent to the men that oppose her, and the men in the Go-Home Club are no exception.

It seems that her behavior and reactions will change in a big way depending on whether the protagonist is male or female.



NEW: Eijin Biwasaka (voiced by Kenji Akabane)



An third-year high school student who has a handsome face and friendly smile in addition to his intellect and eloquent, gentleman-like speech.

Even without being told, he is already aware of Mobius’ secrets including that this world is not real and that they are on the third-year loop.

kirassss

◆ Ostintao Musicians

Sweet-P (voiced by Emi Nitta)
Composer: OSTER Project



Dressed in fanciful fairytale pastels, Sweet-P is both Mobius’ premier fashion icon and an Ostinato Musician.

She is distinguished by her long eyelashes and big, beautiful eyes.

Just like her fashion, Sweet-P’s songs exhibit a delicate, feminine quality. Some girls go absolutely nuts over her music.





Shonen-Doll (voiced by Yumiri Hanamori)
Composer: Polyphonic Branch



Shonen-Doll is a young boy who dwells in Mobius’ enormous library, choosing to competely isolate himself from the outside world.

He always wears a low-hanging hood that obscures his face and hides his expressions.

Sneering at the masses, he writes gloomy, violent songs that attack people with social lives, who he interprets as weak for having to work in a flock in order to accomplish anything worthwhile.

He engages a lot of difficult concepts in his work and has a strong group of fanatical devotees who tend to embrace solitude and individuality and see his music as salvation.





Mirei (voiced by Eriko Nakamura)
Composer: CyoucyoP



Mirei lives an idle life of luxury, fawned over by male followers inside her stronghold in Mobius’ Marine Resort.

She is an arrogant and selfish debutante who behaves as though she is the center of the world; however (except for her personality) she truly is exceptional at everything.

She boasts an immense popularity based on her goregous appearance and exceptional musical genius.

She is so obsessed with being number one that she even sees μ, the absolute idol inside of Mobius, as her rival.





Ike-P (voiced by Souma Saito)
Composer: Asa



Ike-P is a 2nd Year student that attends the same school as the main characters.

He’s a classmate of Izuru who definitely looks like he’s in a band.

He is a natural narcissist who has a justified confidence in his looks — he’s always striking a pose just to show off.

He’s popular with girls and always wants to improve himself. For some reason, he’s constantly plotting against Izuru.

His distinct style sometimes makes him unapproachable.





Shadow Knife (voiced by Yuma Uchida)
Composer: 164



A law-abiding hero who adores justice, he executes those who rebel in Mobius.

He skillfully wields shadows and knives to punish the wicked and the rebellious.

He serves as μ’s personal bodyguard due to his unique and effective combat abilities.

He often does and says awkwardly theatrical things, such as, “he’s the weakest of us Ostinato Musicians,” which makes it difficult for others to respond.

There is a theory that his name, apparence, and even combat abilities are identical to that of an anime character that was popular a few years ago.





Thorn (voiced by Yuka Otsubo)
Composer: CosMo@Bousou-P



Thorn is the leader of the Ostinato Musicians.

Thorn is a lovely young girl with a sickly appearance. She appears before the protagonist’s party in an uncanny, phantasmal way — she always shows up where she couldn’t possibly be.

She is the oldest and first composer of μ’s songs, known for her enormously popular dark and brooding love songs.

μ trusts Thorn completely and obediently follows her orders.





Wicked (voiced by ???)
Composer: YM



A Musician completely shrouded in mystery. Generally only her existence and songs are known, but there is not a single person who knows what she looks like.

Her songs are filled with intense violence and ridicule everything, delivering a shocking blow to listeners.

NEW: Kuchinashi
Composer: Pinocchio-P



A young female Musician with a typically listless expression.

Rather than speaking from the mouth using her natural voice, she converses through a special mouth mechanism that creates a synthesized voice.

More often than not, she suppresses any feelings of excitement.

Extremely individualistic, she often keeps to herself even when gathered among fellow Musicians.

NEW: Stork (voiced by ???)
Composer: DECO*27



By far the most suspicious Musician, even among the other unique Musicians.

As his name implies, he wears a stork costume and excels at making love songs that captivate the women of Mobius.

He is a good-natured man with a gentlemanly manner of speaking, but for some reason has a tendency to not treat his fellow musicians very well.

He has the powerful ability to “mimic everything,” and stands in the way of the Go-Home Club.

◆ μ and Aria

Aria (voiced by Asami Shimoda)



She’s a virtuadoll that was created around the same time as μ.

She was forced to take a smaller form in Mobius because of μ’s vast power.

She wants to stop μ, who has become steadily more unhinged since creating Mobius, and return to the real world. To this end, she selects the main characters and grants them the ability to fight.

In contrast to the lovely, immaculate, and perfectionist μ, her personality is bright, cheerful, and casual, which makes it easy for her to make friends.





μ (Mu) (voiced by Reina Ueda)



μ is a vocal synthesizer software that will obediently sing anything her user inputs.

Little by little, a seed of consciousness and self-awareness germinated within her. The songs people told her to sing alerted her to the agony of reality, so she created the eternally-youthful world of Mobius in order to save a tortured humanity.

Now she flies throughout Mobius, bringing bliss to all she meets and ensuring that the smiles never end.





◆ Other

Marie Mizuguchi (voiced by Mai Fuchigami)



In Mobius, Marie is a 2nd Year student and classmate of the protagonist.

She is an exceptional honors student with a gentle demeanor that makes her approachable.

Even while participating in the Go-Home Club’s occasionally dubious activities, she watches over the main characters without too much prying. This is particularly true for the main character, whom she supports as a close friend.

She is destined to be caught in the conflict between the Go-Home Club and the Ostinato Musicians.

The Caligula Effect: Overdose is due out for PlayStation 4 on May 17, 2018 in Japan.
