▍About Akiba’s Trip Undead and Undressed
Akiba’s Trip: Undead & Undressed or Akiba’s Trip 2 as it’s known in Japan, is a sequel to the original released on PSP. The director’s cut adds a brand new story route featuring Kati, a local maid, and member of the Akiba Freedom Fighters MOGRA, though she mostly played a supporting role in the original.
Akiba’s Trip takes place appropriately in Akihabara, the otaku mecca of Japan, but with a twist! In this district, there are beings called Synthisters, vampires that prey on those that visit Akihabara, draining their social energy and will to live. The only way to stop these creatures is by exposing them to sunlight, but just like everyone else, they wear clothes.
So how do you stop them? By ripping off their clothes of course! Battle enemies in real-time action gameplay to strip these monsters of their clothing in broad daylight, and talk to your friends and NPCs in a visual-novel style dialogue chain to progress the story, become more intimate with them, and unlock several endings!
