Rock N' LSD

「One day, you open your eyes to agonizing pain and find another you beside you—no, not another you, but your other half!

You have split. Split into a person identical to yourself. Yet beyond that, you are completely different—in style, personality, interests...

So, who am I? What kind of existence was the "me" of the past? How should the "me" of the future carry on?

There is only one thing you know for sure: you hate her. You loathe her with every fiber of your being...」

I like to call this an "anime series-style game." The gameplay primarily features visual novel and text adventure mechanics, combined with stunning art and music. Through long-term updates, it delivers a serialized, binge-worthy anime experience. The overall aesthetic is decadent yet cute, with a rock 'n' roll vibe. It's perfect for story lovers, plot-driven players, and those who aren't fans of complex controls.

「The enigmatic underground band "Shock & Awe"—the ones who birthed the "!" concept. With no announcements, no previews, and no ticket sales, they always descended like ghosts at midnight.

Known for their inflammatory, subversive, and mesmerizing lyrics, they were unmatched in their prime. Yet, overnight, they fell apart—members went mad, disappeared, or died one after another.

Some say it's the curse of rock bands; others say it's the price of giving birth to a "Concept."

What exactly happened to the band? Opinions vary widely.

But undoubtedly, what everyone cares about most is this: Where on earth did Arthur Charlet—the lead singer of the band, the mastermind behind the "!" concept, and the self-proclaimed "Poet of Transgression"—go?」

「It all begins with a bizarre disappearance case from 20 years ago. You will step into a world known as "the Alliance" and uncover the hidden story behind the band "Shock & Awe."

You will encounter bizarre creatures, eccentric humans, strange tales, and entities known as "Concepts"... and most importantly—

Know thyself.」

CHARACTER INTRODUCTION

(Left) Jiyano
A fashionable, flamboyant, and unruly youth who dreams of becoming the greatest rock star in history.
Humorous yet easygoing; impulsive yet irritable; cold yet heartless; sensitive yet fragile. Almost everyone who knows her will say she is so contradictory, so crazy, and so capricious.
But if you truly get to know her, you’ll find that everything about her makes sense—one might even call her "innocent."

(Right) Shizenri
A low-key, calm, rational, and pragmatic youth. She is always impeccably polite and embraces living in the moment.
She doesn't want anyone to get hurt, which naturally includes herself. She should be popular; she is undeniably, utterly candid. Yet, in reality, she isn’t.
Her emotions, her thoughts, her wishes—it seems as if they never existed at all.

  「The research on Nousium may seem complex, but its most important function is just one—to generate 'self-awareness.」

• 【Concept】-To suspend the heavy weight of life upon a single point, to squander one's fleeting time in a single place. Even if on the verge of collapse and unknown to all, they never look back. Such individuals transform into the purest "Concepts" within the Alliance, branded with a special mark and granted power beyond the reach of ordinary beings.

  「Just keep running forward, until you are crushed by fate.」
