AKUDAMAX has been a unique challenge. With so many areas for investigation, opportunities for player plots, and general knick-knacks, we moderators found ourselves overwhelmed at first, and many comments were overlooked or delayed. (This included the Black Market. Criticism of the mechanic has been noted, and it will not return anywhere in future.) Sadly, it was necessary to shorten the game from the planned six weeks to four weeks, with a heavily modified endgame. We truly thank our players for their patience and compassion in cooperating with us to bring the game to a conclusion.

While there will be no "AKUDAMAX R2", we welcome your comments as moderators who may run games in the future, and will gladly address any remaining matters or questions concerning the current game. Comments are initially screened to allow anyone to voice confidential concerns. Feel free to write "please unscreen" anywhere in your comment and we will promptly do so.

A screen on your podium lights up. Thankfully nobody else can see what title and picture you'll select. Your choice will lead the city of Kansai to point the finger at someone and close the case without further inquiry. Your voice has the power here, so go ahead and answer:

Who is the culprit of this week's murder?

Enormous holographic billboards fill the city, showing your faces along with detailed personal information. )

Note: Due to the differences between media, there is no standardized format for images. However, in-character, these all appear to be full-color photographs (that you don't remember having taken, and haven't seen as a preexisting photo) showing the character alone over the smooth digital black background.

Murdergames - they're all the rage! The temptation of the motive, leading to a clash between the innocent and the guilty... trust tested daily by each of the unwilling participants.

But what if your character found themselves in a world where their guilty verdict was decided on arrival? Dystopian authorities judging them based on some crime in their past, then the killing game made a televised spectacle for all the citizens under state control. Would they remain innocent and righteous above it all? Or would they, perhaps, raise some hell and mayhem?

AKUDAMAX is planned to be a murder game based on the Cyberpunk anime Akudama Drive (no previous canon knowledge required to play!) Set in a futuristic, crime-ridden version of Kansai, Japan, characters will join the feared ranks of the Akudama, a special classification of people labeled criminals who often have Suicide Squad supervillain-style larger than life abilities, and live among the general populace who are, shall we say, easily influenced.

Game Features



Scapegoat-style Murder Mysteries! This will be a short-term game in the murdergame genre, planned to run from 5-7 weeks with a cast size of 15-25 characters, depending on the level of interest!

Criminal Record Gimmick! AKUDAMAX will have a theme of characters who are considered criminals, be they actual thieves and murderers or the wrongfully accused.

POWER ON!!! We will be running this game with MINIMAL to NO nerfing on the character's powers and abilities, as well as allowing items from the get-go! Play your characters to their MAX! (By the way, characters who are completely normal may be given a cool gift to help them stand toe to toe!)

Variable endings! It is our intention for the ending to go in many possible directions based on how characters react to the setting... or perhaps, how it reacts to them! You damn Akudama!

And more! Our FAQ is here to show off all these features and provide more details about character/power eligibility!

Then thank you very much! Please fill out this form to help us plan for the future of the game. There are a few topics we'd like to hear an opinion on, such as the ideal time frame to run our game - we are considering a start date between July and September, and would love to hear your feedback. To create a welcoming environment for newcomers to the murdergame genre, we are also considering making a small portion of reserve slots that grant priority to those who have never played in one before.

EDIT: Thank you so much for all the interest! We have decided to start the game in August, with reserves August 7th and starting date August 14th. In light of this, the "when do you want to play?" part of the form has been removed See our FAQ for details. Everyone is still welcome to answer this interest post to share your character choices and ask any questions.
