A visitor with no memory approaches the truth of a lost paradise in Neo-Shinjuku.
The year is 2060. Shinjuku, half-destroyed by a massive earthquake, was left behind by the reconstruction and is now known as the "Neo-Shinjuku Exclusion Zone." It is a lawless wasteland where crumbling skyscrapers, neon districts, illegal mod shops, and dive bars coexist. While one can leave the city, many young people remain for reasons unknown. There is no future and no dreams. Yet, even tonight, Neo-Kabukicho and Neo-Golden Gai never sleep.
A woman whose trademarks are a black bowler hat and distinctive eye makeup. A troublemaker in Neo-Shinjuku who loves booze, brawls, and music. She hates boredom and always sticks her nose into any interesting commotion she finds.
An illegal courier and motorcycle racer. Any money she makes vanishes into alcohol and bike modifications. She is the perpetual victim of Alice's pranks, though she's quite a troublemaker herself. Her catchphrase is "If you don't die, you win."
A former delinquent who runs a snack bar in Neo-Golden Gai. She can't ignore drunks or runaway girls, and is respected as a big sister figure by the residents. She is terrifying when angered.
Alice's childhood friend and former partner. They used to be inseparable, but have kept their distance since a certain incident. She never stops smiling, but is the least trustworthy woman in the city.
A habitual user of perception-altering drugs. She is sharp-witted but has zero life skills, often forgetting her rent or what day it is. She trusts hallucinations more than reality but gives strangely accurate advice on city matters.
A projectionist living in a movie theater that closed after the earthquake. She plays movies day and night. She's poor at socializing but won't stop talking once movies are mentioned. The city's biggest shut-in.
The personality of the pirate radio station "NO FUTURE FM." She broadcasts rumors from all over Neo-Shinjuku every night. Everyone in the city knows her voice, but almost no one knows her face.
The female vocalist of the punk band "THE DEAD END KIDS." She's quick to fight and foul-mouthed but cares deeply for her comrades. While claiming punk is dead, she continues to scream at live houses in Neo-Shinjuku.
A self-proclaimed hard-boiled private detective. She takes on anything from finding lost cats to infidelity investigations, but her low fees vanish into bar tabs. The city's biggest loafer, often seen wandering on a bicycle.
The leader of "PARADISE LOST," the largest faction in Neo-Kabukicho. She controls half the city at a young age. No one defies her, yet she is calm and rarely loses her temper. She is usually seen with the organization's No. 2, Kaori Nekoyama, a tall, silent woman in a black suit.

A setting guide for the Neo-Shinjuku Doomsday District (Worldview & Facilities). *Contains spoilers.
It is raining. In Neo-Shinjuku, the rain always smells slightly of iron. It beats against old overpasses, wets cracked neon signs, and turns the peeling posters on the walls into dark blurs. When you regain consciousness, you are lying in an alley near the old Kabukicho gate. You have no memories other than your name. Where did you come from? Why are you here? Who was chasing you? You can't remember a thing. A radio is playing in the distance.
"This is NO FUTURE FM. There is hope beyond the wall. Shibuya isn't dead yet. PARADISE isn't lost. Don't give up hope. See you again!"
The voice sounded flippant. And yet, it was the only voice that seemed to still believe in something in this city. Before your eyes is wet asphalt. Looking up, a massive wall. You don't know what lies beyond it. Deep in the alley, men in black uniforms are dragging someone away. On the opposite wall, words are crudely sprayed in white. DROOGIES NEVER DIE. As you stare at the letters, light footsteps approach from behind.
Turning around, you see a girl wearing a black bowler hat. Makeup hiding her right eye. A smile like a beast that hates boredom playing on her wet lips.
