What is The Caligula Effect 2?

A single-player, turn-based RPG set in Redo, a virtual world where people live alternate lives shaped by regret. You gather a party that knows about the world outside Redo, uncover its members' pasts, and plan attacks by previewing selected actions as the group searches for a way home.

For you if...

  • +you enjoy planning turn-based attacks around predicted outcomes
  • +you want character stories about regret and alternate lives
  • +you value music as much as combat in a JRPG

Not for you if...

  • you prefer real-time combat to planning turn-based attacks
  • you dislike stories focused on party members' personal struggles
