Get the details below.

■ Story

A story in which various “parallel worlds” exist.

Iris was born in “DE-1 World,” which is the spitting image of Earth in the 2000s. The “spiral” of tragedy that continues to loop created by Iris’ birth is gradually unraveling thanks to the activities of Arata Mizunashi and company.

And so Iris, who regained good will, created “DE-1.5 World,” a replica of “DE-1 World.” This was an ideal world where those expected to fight were kind to one another, and where everything was in sync. However, a new crisis drew near even in this world.

A mysterious man appears, and the heroines are in danger. And so new protagonist Sayaka Hiwatari must face against a chaotic scene of friends and foes alike.

The battle against the upper world is about to enter a new phase…

I own both games.

I remember recently reading that there's going to be a spin-off and sequel to the series. So it's good to finally see the news.

So I'm guessing this is the spin-off and not the sequel? Because I heard they're doing both a spin-off and a sequel.
