Released last year in the US, The World Ends With You brought action role-playing to the real-world setting of Shibuya reimagined by Square-Enix.
In the game, Neku Sakuraba searches the alternate plane of Shibuya’s “underground” for predatory “noise”. Since we were hanging out in the fashionable Shibuya area much of today, we thought it would be fun to have Totilo reenact some of the scenes from one of his favourite games.

I was surprised just how much of Shibuya I recognised from that game. I think it even lead me to look at the district in a slightly different way to my mate.
