428: Shibuya Scramble is a PC-based adventure in the visual novel category. The story is about the kidnapping of a young woman; we follow the story from the perspective of five different characters, and decisions taken in the body of one of them affect the situation of the others.
428: Shibuya Scramble is a visual novel adventure game. The title was developed by Spike Chunsoft, known for such series as Zero Escape or Danganronpa.
The action takes place in Shibuya, one of the districts of Tokyo, which is famous as an entertainment and shopping center. The plot revolves around the abduction of a young girl named Maria. What at first seems to be a simple kidnapping for a ransom, soon turns out in to a much more complicated matter,
We follow the story from the perspective of five characters - a former member of the street gang, a policeman, a virologist who is the father of the kidnapped girl, a journalist and a young woman dressed up as a mascot of a local shop, who collects money to buy an item she has seen before.
428: Shibuya Scramble is a visual novel adventure game, but quite an unusual representative of the genre. Traditionally, the game is mainly about following the narrative text and making decisions that shape the development of the story. However, the way in which the game implements the classic formula is non-standard, and so is the way in which the story is presented.
The plot jumps between characters every now and then, and the decisions made in the body of one of them influence the fate of the others. The player must, therefore, deduce the links between the characters' actions and find a sequence of events that will lead everyone to a happy end.
428: Shibuya Scramble distinguishes itself from most visual novels in terms of execution. Visuals does not use drawings typical for this genre. Instead, the story is told by means of text, photos and live-action video sequences.

Wccftech: 9 / 10 by Kai Powell
Never before have I played an interactive novel that kept me so compelled to the very end, and once it was wrapped up all neatly, 428: Shibuya Scramble continued to surprise me with more and more story than I could've ever asked for.
Hardcore Gamer: 4.5 / 5 by Marcus Estrada
428: Shibuya Scramble is clearly the child of Spike Chunsoft as it brings together some of the best features from Zero Escape and Danganronpa into a new title.
Digitally Downloaded: 4.5 / 5
428: Shibuya Scramble is storytelling via video games at its finest. The multiple parallel stories, the twists and turns, the characters, each is reason enough to pick up this title despite the initial release being a decade ago. It plays with ease, allowing you to completely lose yourself if the story of Maria's abduction and the ten most important hours spent trying to save her.
