It's hard to not to poke fun at the trope-laden worlds of JRPG storytellers. And smack bang in the middle of most narratives throughout the JRPG landscape is drama. Soul Hackers 2, from Atlus and SEGA, fits this mold perfectly and is now available for PlayStation and Xbox.



Here's the hack report:

Existing in the secret sea of humanity’s data, a digital hivemind has evolved into sentience: Aion. Observing humankind from afar, Aion calculates that a world-ending disaster is imminent and creates two agents to combat against it: Ringo and Figue.

Together, these agents of Aion must investigate and prevent a butterfly effect that will lead to the end of the world.
