A kidnapping on the streets of Shibuya brings together a hot-blooded detective, hard-hitting journalist, former gang leader, the head researcher of a big pharma manufacturer and a part-timer stuck in cat costume for a series of events each more unexpected and outrageous than the last.
Our story begins in the capital, where Shiren the Wanderer and his sidekick Koppa encounter an old friend. Known as "Sensei" he is both Shiren's uncle and his master, having taught him the way of the blade. Sensei offers Shiren a key that is said to unlock the legendary Karakuri Mansion, a labyrinth of dangerous traps, fell beasts, and treasure untold.
Shiren excepts the key, the wanderlust inside him striking his heart like lightning as he holds it in his hand. But this is only the calm before the storm...

Zero Escape: Virtue's Last Reward is a mystery/thriller visual novel. It is story focused with multiple endings that use player choices and puzzle rooms to progress.
Additions to the game include an 'auto-advance text' mode, so players can listen to the voice acting without clicking through dialog, a memo function that allows players to note anything they feel is useful, and a flow chart that shows how alternate choices unfold. The in-game calculator has been removed.
