help 428: Shibuya Scramble FAQ
Why is 428: Shibuya Scramble famous among visual novel fans?
It is one of the very few games to receive a perfect 40/40 score from Famitsu. Chunsoft first released it for Wii in Japan in 2008, then Spike Chunsoft brought it to PlayStation 4 and Windows internationally in 2018.
How does 428 use its five main characters in Shibuya?
The game follows several people across the same day in Tokyo's Shibuya district, including a detective, a former gang leader, and a girl in a cat costume. Choices in one character's timeline can block or unlock progress for another character.
Is 428 connected to Canaan?
Yes, the bonus Type-Moon scenario in 428 led to the anime Canaan. Kinoko Nasu and Takashi Takeuchi were involved with that scenario, while the main game itself was developed by Chunsoft.
Does 428: Shibuya Scramble use anime art or real actors?
It mainly uses live-action still photos and video rather than drawn character sprites. That gives it a different feel from Spike Chunsoft's later Danganronpa and Zero Escape games.
