AKIBA'S TRIP: Undead ＆ Undressed
Released May 2015
In Tokyo’s popular ”Electric Town” district, Akihabara, vampires called “Synthisters” walk among us. You must identify and dispose of them the only way you know how – by engaging them in hand-to-hand combat in order to strip them of their clothes so their bodies melt away in the sunlight.

Evaluation
AKIBA'S TRIP: Undead & Undressed originally launched in May 2015. For several years the game ran without post-launch content, then received a notable batch of DLC on August 1, 2023: "Kati's Route," described as the "true ending" to the game, along with a Complete Outfit Set featuring costumes from the related title AKIBA'S TRIP: Hellbound & Debriefed. All seven DLC items listed on the store are marked as released, and all share the same August 1, 2023 release date. A minor bug-fix patch followed on September 11, 2023, and there have been no further announcements, content releases, or developer communications since then. The developer has not announced any additional content, and the August 2023 batch — framed as the game's true ending — reads as a complete content package. The game appears to have shipped as a finished product with this final DLC wave serving as its content conclusion.
Evidence
Kati's Route DLC launched, described as the 'true ending' to the game, alongside a Complete Outfit Set and individual costume DLCs from AKIBA'S TRIP: Hellbound & Debriefed.
All 7 DLC items — including the Kati's Route story upgrade, bundle, and costume packs — are released with no unreleased items remaining.

About this game
Akihabara. "Akiba," for short.
This suburban Tokyo ward's seen it all, from Japan's post-war reconstruction to the economic bubblegum crisis of the '80s. Always on the cutting edge of progress, with a little something to offer even the most fetishistic of appetites, it was almost inevitable that this singular technocracy of indulgence would give birth to a whole new kind of appetite altogether.
Enter, the “Synthisters” – vampires who prey upon the life energy of the town’s unsuspecting figurine-chasers, maid café connoisseurs and cosplayers. Those victimized by Synthisters take on the properties of their attackers while also withdrawing from society and becoming veritable shut-ins due to their newfound fatal weakness to sunlight.
AKIBA’S TRIP tells the story of one such unfortunate soul: a young man named Nanashi who was lured into a trap by the promise of rare character goods and transformed into one of the walking undead. He, however, was spared the worst of his fate by the bloody kiss of a mysterious Synthister hunter named Shizuku. Together with the rest of his companions in an organization unofficially dubbed the “Akiba Freedom Fighters,” Nanashi and Shizuku must uncover the truth behind the Synthister plague and save Akiba from being overrun by violent, antisocial energy vampires.
And of course, the best way to fight vampires is to strip them down to their skivvies so they melt in the noonday sun…
Like a virtual tour of Tokyo’s Akihabara district, all major outdoor locations from the town have been painfully recreated, with over 130 real-life shops accurately represented.
Unique and Customizable Brawler-Style Combat
Anything can be a weapon, from baseball bats to comics to motherboards, and individual clothing items may be targeted, stripped and added to the player’s own inventory.
Satirical Story with Divergent Paths and Multiple Endings
Playing off common anime and video game tropes for social satire, the player’s choices determine how the story progresses, leading to one of many unique endings.
Modern Day Setting Enhances Gameplay Options and Adds Pop Culture Feel
The in-game smartphone is used to check email, read comments on “Pitter,” take side quests, catalog ad flyers, launch apps to identify the undead and much, much more.
*Please note that the buildings and monuments depicted in the game AKIBA'S TRIP are based on the Akihabara town area from the fall of 2012 through the summer of 2013.*
