About the Game

[There are real friends in the online world!]
Doomed Otaku is a story-driven adventure game where a wandering 20-something Otaku travels between two worlds—reality and the internet—experiencing various incidents along the way.
The protagonist, Jin Da-yeon, is a die-hard fan of the Japanese idol game, "Idol☆Star."
Upon hearing that limited-edition character perfumes are launching in Japan,
she ends up leading a group purchase for the merchandise.
However, being terrible with money, she impulsively spends all the collected funds on personal expenses.
Only 14 days left until the order deadline...
Can she scrape together $5,000 in time to place the order?
Face reality and reform... or escape to the internet and face doom?

Live faithfully in both reality and the internet to pay back the $5,000!
In Doomed Otaku, reality is a dull and colorless world.
