You play as a nameless protagonist, assisted by Aria, leading what is known as the Go-Home Club, whose members want to, you guessed it: go home. Mobius serves as an escape from suffering in the real world, but now μ is preventing people from returning back to reality, and thus two opposing factions are born. The Caligula Effect is set in a virtual simulation, a metaverse of sorts, named Mobius that was built by 2 virtual pop stars named μ and Aria. You don’t get much of an introduction to the premise of the narrative before you’re dropped straight into the thick of it. But how’s the actual game itself? Let’s find out. The Caligula Effect: Overdose originally released back in 2019 on PC, PS4, and Nintendo Switch but is now getting a Western native PS5 version in 2023! Sadly it is yet another lazy port being re-released at full price with a lack of an upgrade path or a save transfer. Everyone knows the powerhouse character-driven JRPGs Persona and the Shin Megami Tensei series, but have you ever heard of The Caligula Effect: Overdose? The FuRyu developed game sets an interesting premise along with a wide cast of diverse characters to present an experience that attempts to reach the heights of its inspirations.
