Story
One month after Subaru’s new life in another world began, an emissary sent by the Royal Castle suddenly appears with news that the Royal Selection has been postponed, but offers no reason as to why. The postponement of this grand event that decides the next ruler of the Kingdom of Lugnica stirs Subaru and his friends into action. They return to the Royal Capital only to find that a sixth candidate has claimed their stake for the throne. But the Dragon Stone prophesizes that only five candidates would be chosen. With one candidate being an impostor, suspicions are immediately cast toward one woman in particular: Emilia. What answers lie beyond the mysterious web of assassination, betrayal, and conspiracies…?

Gameplay
The player plays the role of Subaru, who finds himself transported to another world. You can explore the Kingdom of Lugnica and interact with both new and familiar characters from the anime. Subaru's "Return by Death", as in the original, is an important element in terms of gameplay.
