Storyline and Setting

Leben Distel dies during a modern plague and awakens in Eden, where machines attempt to manufacture ‘Real Humans' after humanity's extinction. Android Enoa guides Leben, Mikoto Sengiku and Ami Shido through a conflict about memory, family and whether synthetic beings can become genuinely human.

Gameplay and Core Systems

Combat uses quick attacks, launches, aerial strings, finishers, and defensive timing, with three playable E.V.E. characters offering different weapons and strengths. Between missions, gear, abilities, and conversations aboard Eden deepen both builds and relationships.

Fast action-RPG battles use ground strings, launches, aerial attacks, finishers and defensive timing across three playable E.V.E. characters. Eden's combat zones alternate with the Imitation Garden hub, where conversations develop relationships and weapons can be customized. The PC version supports keyboard and mouse, controllers, 4K, high frame rates, ultrawide and Steam Deck-friendly aspect ratios. DLC entries include equipment, costumes and other optional packs.

Art, Audio, and Atmosphere

Glossy mechanical bodies, ruined futuristic spaces, and expressive anime portraits reinforce the tension between artificial life and human memory. Fast effects make launches, counters, and finishers readable during busy fights, while quieter Eden scenes use music and close character framing to support the philosophical story. The contrast between immaculate heroines and a dead world is the game's defining image.

Campaign, Progression, and Replayability

Missions feed materials and equipment back into the Eden hub, where the three E.V.E. characters can be tuned with weapons, auxiliary gear, and abilities. Combat ranks reward cleaner execution, while conversations and records explain the world's terminology and deepen the cast. The campaign is linear and single-player, with optional challenges, collectibles, achievements, and build experimentation supporting completionist play after the central story has been cleared.
