Replay – Raw Danger!
In 2006, a Japanese studio called Irem developed a survival action game unlike any other. The game was called Zettai Zetsumei Toshi 2: Itetsuita Kiokutachi, which literally translates into The Desperate City 2: Frozen Memories, but since we didn’t get the first Desperate City, western players had to digest this danger raw. In Pulp Fiction style, players bounced between the perspectives of six different people living in New York as the city crumbled around them during a devastating flood.
Join editors Andrew Reiner, Jeff Cork, Ben Reeves, and Tim Turi as they explore the challenges of being a waiter, help a lady find a contact lens, and try to stay dry any way they can.
