Our World Is Ended is a visual novel by Red Entertainment. We play as Reiji Gozena, who is a member of Judgement 7 group - a young video game developer team that, while working on a new game, unwittingly created a demonic program that can influence reality.
Our World Is Ended is the classic representative of the visual novel genre, created by Red Entertainment and published by PQube. The game's action takes place in a faithfully reproduced district of Tokyo - Asakusa. Story of Our World Is Ended revolves around a group called Judgement 7 - a young studio, which, while working on a new game, unwittingly creates a demonic program that can affect reality.
While working on a game using a new engine called W.O.R.L.D., of Judgement 7 unwittingly create a demonic program that blurs the boundaries between fiction and reality. As a result, elements of the studio's games begin to destroy Asakusa, one of Tokyo's districts. Reiji Gozen, a member of Judgement 7, makes a heroic attempt to save the world and decides to destroy the demonic program.
Our World Is Ended features classic visual novel solutions. Core of the gameplay are dialogues conducted by the main character with a number of NPCs. The decisions made during this time have a significant influence on the development of the plot, which may eventually lead to different endings. Additionally, a system called S.O.S (Selection Of Soul) has been implemented in the game. It works in moments when the hero has to make an important decision; then the screen shakes and a list of possible choices appears (its length depends on the strength of the hero's emotions - the stronger they are, the more options). However, the options resulting from this system are limited in time - if the decision is not taken quickly enough, the additional options will disappear.
Our World Is Ended uses 2D graphics in manga style. Particular attention should be paid to Asakusa - the district of Tokyo has been faithfully reproduced; even the names of individual streets and places are there.

NookGaming: 8 / 10 by Thomas Knight
I’d certainly recommend the game to any visual novel fans who enjoy comedy with a plot. While visual novels are a niche, people interested in virtual reality who enjoy anime might consider trying this out too, even if not usually a fan of visual novels.

If you want a visual novel with more focus on the actual story then you better look elsewhere.
Chalgyr's Game Room: 6.5 / 10 by Natasha Waldram
Overall, Our World is Ended is a game that's not quite there, but does have a sudden change in momentum that keeps you at the edge of your chair. With the strange dialogue arcing across the screen, to very lengthy moments of pure storytelling where half the conversation is nothing but boob jokes, and default Japanese controls. It does redeem itself with beautiful water painted scenarios and up to beat music. This game is definitely more for players that are looking for a visually entertaining adventure where their only worry is to press B.
