When I originally reviewed The Caligula Effect for the Vita I found it to be a dire RPG, with a half-baked story and combat that was held back by its abysmal technical performance. I questioned the merit of returning to it for a PS4 remake. Still, I was curious if any of the original game could be salvaged. So once again I found myself, like the game’s protagonists, stuck in an endless loop of high school life.

You’re about to give a speech to the incoming class when you suddenly begin to hallucinate, turning everyone around you into a grotesque, gltiched out mess. Welcome to “graduation”, where you’ve come to realize the nature of the world around you. None of it is real. In fact, as certain classmates of yours will inform you, the school and the entire world around you is a simulation, a product of a misguided digital idol named Mu. In her attempts to bring happiness to others she’s trapped hundreds of people in a virtual highschool, having them relive the same three years over and over. So far so anime.
