Lost Dimension takes place in the near future, with the world in ruin. The game’s protagonist is Sho Kasugai, a member of S.E.A.L.E.D., a special group of 17-to-18 year old psychics tasked with investigating a giant pillar that appeared out of nowhere. Sho has a special ability called “Vision”, which grants him the ability to foresee events before they happen, and after he used it to save people from a mass destruction, he was chosen to be a member of S.E.A.L.E.D. The main antagonist is a mysterious terrorist known as “The End”. This terrorisr has caused massacres and destruction that kill over 2 billion people, and is the reason why the United Nations put together S.E.A.L.E.D. The End’s seeming goal is to destroy the world, and considers the fight against S.E.A.L.E.D. to be a bizarre game.
Gameplay: Lost Dimension is a tactical role-playing video game. The characters climb the mysterious five-floor Pillar, in which they encounter a number of enemies. During battles, the characters attack enemies as a group, with each character having unique attacks and abilities. The game’s “Assist” feature automatically occurs when an ally is nearby when the player attacks. Each character also has a unique “Gift” special ability that can be leveled up. The “Defer” feature allows the player to pass up their turn to an ally; this can be used to allow the strongest party member to continue to attack, and take advantage of the characters’ strengths and weaknesses.
Lost Dimension also has a visual novel-like system where the choices of the player determine the fate of the game’s story, as well as its characters. Of the game’s eleven playable characters, five are traitors; one is potentially revealed per floor. The characters which are traitors are randomly selected, and vary from game to game, although the main character is never a traitor. The player must use deductive skills to find out who the traitor each floor is. During the “Judgement” phase of the game, the remaining characters vote on whom to “erase”, including the player. It is best for the player to successfully identify the traitor and convince others to vote his way, though if the player chooses wrongly or is ineffective at persuasion, an innocent character will be killed instead. To determine who the traitor is, protagonist Sho Kasugai uses his psychic ability, “Vision”, to look into the future to obtain hints on the traitor’s identity. The player can also look into the thoughts of the different characters, as well as question them. The player can rig teams sent out on missions to attempt to deduce who the potential suspects are, and use “Vision” for confirmation or denial.
