Archief - [PC/PS4/SWITCH] Disaster Report 4: Summer Memories

Disaster Report 4 places players in a July 201X metropolis struck by a devastating earthquake. The protagonist, a person visiting the town for an job interview, is stuck dead in the center of this disaster. The protagonist is customizable to the player’s will, allowing the player to choose their gender, facial style, hair style and more. Throughout the game, players will find over one-hundred items they could use to further customize their character.

During the game, players will meet and receive aid from over sixty characters, which is the largest amount of characters in Disaster Report history. Players will enter collapsed buildings, find new routes and survivors, find items, and more in an attempt to escape the fallen city. Players will have to keep clean in doing so with the game’s new “cleanliness” feature, forcing stress onto players if they get too dirty. To clean yourself up, you’ll need to use the toilet.

The game is set in a certain metropolis. The protagonist has come to the big city in search of a job. The player can choose whether the protagonist is a man or a woman, as well as their goal, at the start of the game. The game depicts a one-week survival story and features the concepts of hunger, expired foods, and even toilets.

Details from interview with Kazuma Kujo:

• The main reason the game was originally cancelled was because they couldn’t get it to come together.
• Over the years since the game was cancelled, time has been devoted to upping the quality of the game system.
• Granzella’s new company Gz Studio is developing the game. It’s made up of staff from the Irem days.
• The “Plus” in the title signifies that the game is being rebuilt. The original version of the game is being used as a base, but everything is being completely revised from zero.
• It’s not that you escape a week after the earthquake, sometimes you go back to the same place two or three days later.
• Situations at the same locations will change as time progresses. (For example, when cranes begin reconstruction.)
• The degree of how the protagonist’s decisions influences post-development has greatly increased.
• If you eat expired foods or don’t use the toilet, it will impact your performance.
• Since it’s being developed for PlayStation 4, Kujo wants to put in an element that lets players feel like they’re connected somehow.
