Death End Request (stylized Death end re;Quest) is a role-playing video game developed by Compile Heart and published by Idea Factory. It was released for the PlayStation 4 in Japan in April 2018 and worldwide in February 2019 for Windows in May 2019 and for Nintendo Switch in April 2021. A sequel Death End Request 2 was released in the same regions and platforms across 2021 and 2022. The game is played from two separate character's perspectives; Arata Mizunashi and Shina Ninomiya. Both characters had previously worked together as video game programmers a year prior for a virtual reality MMORPG called "World's Odyssey" until development was halted due to an unexplained disappearance of Shina. After a year passes Arata stumbles upon access to the game and is shocked to find that the game's servers are still on and Shina is trapped within the game with partial amnesia. The two learn that Shina is trapped in the virtual reality game until she finishes the game herself which is complicated by the fact that the game was unfinished and has been apparently hacked and altered by a third party as well.
