New releases of the popular gothic steampunk adventure series feature premium collectibles.
Two special editions of the popular otome (or interactive fiction) series Code: Realize for the PlayStation®4 system and the PlayStation®Vita system hit retailers in North America today, each featuring a variety of exclusive collectibles and content. Developed by Idea Factory, the Code: Realize games let players explore the story of Cardia and her adventures in a steampunk version of Victorian England, where she encounters a cast of intriguing gentlemen based on characters from history and literature.
The edition for the PS Vita system includes the Code Realize: ~Future Blessings~ game, a full-color 17×24 printed cloth banner featuring the gentlemen of Code: Realize, set of nine 1.5″ metal buttons with chibi character art, eight exclusive 4×6 bromide character cards, and a custom slipcase to unite your ~Future Blessings~ game with your ~Guardian of Rebirth~ game (sold separately). The PS4™ system edition entitled Code: Realize ~Bouquet of Rainbows~ includes both ~Future Blessings~ and ~Guardian of Rebirth~ on a single disc, plus the full-color banner, metal character pins and character cards.
The story begins with the main character, Cardia, isolated and alone in a mansion on the outskirts of a 19th century steampunk version of London. A victim of a mysterious affliction that makes her blood a virulent poison and her touch instantly lethal, Cardia is shunned as a monster. Through a number of events both grand and seemingly insignificant, Cardia is pursued by the Royal Guard, kidnapped by the gentleman thief Arsène Lupin, and joined by a myriad of other handsome figures out of the best of western literature. With her new-found friends (and suitors) Cardia ventures out in the world to unravel the mysteries surrounding her very existence.
