You soon learn that it was X (or Chi) that broke into Redo and she’s a VirtuaDoll too. You decide to go home to sleep this off, but upon boarding a train, which in retrospect looked too colorful to be the regular train, that mysterious something latches onto you. This is turn causes you to have a weird ass dream and your vision to glitch out (though the glitch involving people isn’t as scary here). That is until something strange breaks into Redo, causing things to glitch out. And you lived here, living out an ideal high school life (except tests… they didn’t get rid of tests).

After hearing one of Regret’s songs, you were pulled in due to having a deep regret and Redo is supposed to free you from it by having you forget your life before Redo. We’ll be missing the callbacks and why they’re important, but it does get a quick explanation and the majority of the characters have no idea either so it’s not like you get this outsider feeling when the past game’s events come up.Īfter picking out your character and getting a little meeting with a new VirtuaDoll named Regret, you’re put into a Metaverse-Es world dubbed as Redo. While Caligula Effect 2 does canonically takes place five years later and there are a few references, you can go in and still understand the story. Luckily enough for those of us that either didn’t pick up the first game or couldn’t get into it mainly due to the combat, you don’t have to play the first to get into the second.

Oh and worrying if this is the type of sequel you have to play the previous game(s) to understand what’s going on. Of course, it’s obvious I checked out the sequel despite that, which part of me hoped that the combat got improved on while simultaneously dreading the combat. I tried getting back into it when Caligula Effect 2 was announced, but then I dropped it again. Even after watching an official combat guide I was still confused when I tried to apply the tips myself. It may be because it isn’t explained that well, or because I grabbed the Switch port (which I found out later was a huge mistake), but the combat just didn’t click with me and I was so confused.

I heard great things about the story, but it was just the combat.

I wanted to, but I could never get that far in before I stopped and had no desire to return. To be honest, I never could get into Caligula Effect: Overdose.
