If he’s truly been sent back in time, then he’s the only one who knows of the impending doom that awaits this world. But then it hits him: this is a second chance. This was no dream this was a recurring nightmare.
Not in his own world, mind you - but back where he was first spat out into this hellscape three years prior. All of which begs the question: just who is Meiya? And do his feelings for Sumika run deeper than he thought? In the end, he’ll need to decide between the girl who’s been with him through thick and thin. This comes much to the chagrin of his childhood friend Sumika, the girl next door who’s always had feelings for him, who realizes that if she doesn’t act fast, she might just lose him forever. She calls herself Meiya, and – despite never having met him before – she insists that the two of them are destined for one another.
Takeru is your average unassuming high school senior whose entire world gets turned upside down one morning when he awakens to find himself in bed with the heiress to one of the world’s largest international conglomerates. But it seems the hand of fate has bigger plans for Takeru, because it’s at this point that he wakes up to find himself back in his childhood bedroom once again. Takeru and his comrades-in-arms were among those left behind, condemned to death by their fellow man. This was humanity’s last resort - a plan that utilized all of their remaining resources to build a migrant fleet of interstellar craft, allowing a tiny fraction of the population to abandon the Earth in the hopes of finding life anew in another star system. With tensions rising, and pressure to shift gears from governments all across the world, the UN delegation opted to scrap the project in favor of its successor: Alternative V. Professor Kouzuki, hit a wall in her research due to technological constraints. Unfortunately, however, development screeched to a halt when the project’s chief executive. But unbeknownst to Takeru, he and his squadmates were being trained to participate in a top-secret UN contingency plan known as Alternative IV - a last-ditch effort to take back the Earth via experimental technology. In that time, he’s been through an awful lot - enlisting in the military, meeting parallel-universe versions of his old friends, and even falling in love. Three years have passed since the day Takeru, an unsuspecting Japanese high-schooler, suddenly awoke in a world not his own - a war-torn alternate reality in which mankind was on the brink of extinction, locked in a decades-long struggle against the ruthless extra-terrestrial invaders known only as the BETA. This definitive release comes complete with a brand new translation, all-new CGs, additional voice acting, and dual language/ tablet support, so if you think you’re ready to take the dive, there’s never been a better time to strap in and see for yourself why so many readers consider this the greatest story ever told. Fair warning, though: common side effects include feelings of emptiness, PTSD, and unrealistic expectations for any and all other visual novels. It’ll test your limits, challenge your worldview, and by the time it’s all over, you’ll be so emotionally spent that it’ll be weeks before you can fully process the implications of what you’ve just witnessed. Gluttons for punishment, rejoice, because once it gets rolling, there are no brakes on this pain train.
