Dive into a reality-warping adventure from Persona scenario-writer Tadashi Satomi and Director Takuya Yamanaka!
A virtuadoll named Regret has created the world of Redo in order to save people from their past regrets by imprisoning them in a simulation. However, this “paradise” is shaken to the core when a virtual idol named χ breaks into Regret’s virtual reality and restores a high school student’s memories of the real world. In order to escape Redo, they reestablish the Go-Home Club, a resistance group that seeks to fight against Regret and her enforcers, the Obbligato Musicians.
