Psychokinesis Action
The two main protagonists use their psychic ability, Psychokinesis, to manipulate objects and fight. You can manipulate objects with your psychokinesis - everything becomes a weapon. Utilize your environment to build your combos to decimate your enemies.
Struggle Arms System
It's a system that allows you to temporarily borrow the psychic abilities of your party members by connecting your brain to theirs via a virtual cable.
DRIVE System
By attacking or destroying enemies, your concentration increases, and you enter a state of brain drive. In this state, your attack speed and movement speed will increase, the Psychokinesis power will increase, cooldown times will decrease, and your overall speed goes up.
Brain Field
The power of the brain to affect the outside world is increased to the utmost limit, and a special space is developed in which the user's psychic ability is most advantageous.
While the brain field is activated, the user cannot attack with weapons but you can go crazy with the psychokinetic powers. However, because the power goes beyond the user's limit, there's a great risk involved in its continuous use.
Bond System
You form bonds with each character. You can send "brain messages," which are essentially brain texts. Conversations in the hideout will trigger episodes for each character. By doing those episodes, your bond will grow. The bond level increases when the bond value exceeds a certain level, and the SAS connection abilities will be enhanced, supporting the player in various ways in battle.
You can also increase your bond value by gifting items that are available during gameplay. Give items that match your character's preferences.
