About AKIBA LOST

“AKIBA LOST” is a new feature-length live-action ensemble multi-angle suspense game, created when IzanagiGames — known for its cinematic, movie-like game “Death Come True” and its work across the game and film industries — joined forces with Nippon Television, one of Japan’s leading terrestrial broadcasters, and drama production company AX-ON.
It is a zapping adventure (ADV) in which players switch between Shinjo and six female characters to close in on the truth of the story.

The stage is “Akihabara,” Japan’s proud subculture town. The cast that game creator Shinjo gathers is six distinctive performers who each embody that “Akihabara.”

In January 2026, a drama — made on Nippon Television to raise the quality of the game — began airing on terrestrial TV.
Winner of the Future Division at the Japan Game Awards 2025.
