Zettai Zetsumei Toshi 3: Kowareyuku Machi to Kanojo no Uta

Players can choose between playing as a boy (Naoki Ksaka) or a girl (Rina Makimura), who begins the game trapped in a bus or an underground tunnel following a large earthquake. Saki Honj, a nurse turned amateur musician, and Ayami Hazuki, a high school girl, are two survivors the player may encounter. The two player characters have slightly different characteristics that influence gameplay: Naoki is physically strong and self-assured, but she becomes stressed more quickly, whereas Rina is physically weak but has a calmer personality, so her stress levels rise more slowly. The thirst and body temperature meter has been replaced by a stress meter in Zettai Zetsumei Toshi 3. After having an angry conversation and witnessing/experiencing various traumatic incidents, the meter rises. During discussions, the player can select from multiple responses, allowing them to decide how to interact with other survivors. These responses allow the player to influence the character’s personality and occasionally affect the surface, such as lowering or raising their stress levels. The character’s movements will be affected by high stress, causing them to have difficulty walking. When the character comes into contact with fire or remains near a gas leak, his health meter will deplete. By consuming food and medicine, the character’s status bars can be replenished, reduced, or restored by resting on a bench, allowing the player to save the game. Throughout the game, you can collect various outfits and compasses. In contrast to the first two games, which were only single-player, 2-4 players could play cooperatively via ad hoc connection.
