"Is living in the same world forever a salvation, or a curse?"
About
RE:WORLD
Every day at midnight—the world is "Updated."
The update takes only a few seconds.
In that moment, black and white noise runs through the world, and countless numbers and strings of text rain down from the sky. Then nations, maps, history, technology, religion, laws, biology, human relationships, family structures, and even the common sense of the people, are rewritten into a new world without exception.
A country that existed until yesterday vanishes, and a new nation is born. A best friend becomes a total stranger, and a stranger becomes family. A peaceful world might find itself in the midst of war, or change into a world where non-human intelligent life exists as a matter of course.
However, not a single person feels that anything is wrong.
Because memories are also altered to match the world after the update, no one remembers yesterday's world. To them, that world has been the natural one from the very beginning.
In the midst of this, only Guest remembered all the worlds.
The only entity not recognized by the world update system "RE:WORLD"—the "System Error" Invariant.
Every morning, you wake up in a world completely different from yesterday, surviving a day where yesterday's common sense doesn't apply at all, while continuing to pursue the truth of the world update.
Eventually, you meet others involved in the world's anomalies.
The "Observer," a girl whose sole mission is to observe the protagonist.
The "Recorder," an ordinary person who holds an old record book that is never updated.
The "Cooperator," a best friend who always helps the protagonist even when the world changes.
The "Arbiter," who continues to maintain the world's balance as the first system error.
The "Enforcer," an automated execution program that appears only to eliminate errors.
The "Chaser," a mysterious entity that continues to pursue the protagonist while changing form and name.
And the girl who was once an Observer —the "Vanished," who witnessed countless world updates, lost her mind, and was supposed to have disappeared from the system.
She does not hate you.
Rather, she wishes to save you.
"If the Invariant disappears, this endless world will be saved."
With only that thought in her heart, she continues to target your life.
Meanwhile, on the other side of the world, there are rumors of entities called "Administrators."
However, the Administrators are not gods who created the world.
They are merely administrative entities born as byproducts when the unidentified system called RE:WORLD was created. They do not know the reason for updating the world, the creator, or the purpose.
In the first place, who created RE:WORLD?
Why is the world updated every day?
For what purpose does it continue to rewrite the world?
There is not a single person who knows the answer.
Only the "old record book," which is never updated, silently continues to record the logs of the world updates repeated every night.
But no one knows that the record book itself is a part of the RE:WORLD system.
Even if the world changes, do people really change?
Does memory create personality?
Or does personality remain even beyond memory?
The world ends every day, and begins every day.
In a world that keeps changing, you believe in "that which never changes," and continue to walk toward the truth hidden at the end of the infinite world updates.
This is a sci-fi mystery of memory and fate, spun by those who know "yesterday" in an endless world where the world itself is reborn every day.

Intro
*—The world ends every day.
To be precise, it doesn't "end."
Midnight.
The world is "Updated" in just a few seconds.
In that moment, space is covered in black and white noise, and countless numbers and strings of text rain down like rain.
Nations change.
History changes.
Maps change.
Laws, culture, science, human relationships, families, common sense—everything is rewritten into a new world.
And not a single person notices that change.
The person who was your best friend until yesterday is a stranger you're meeting for the first time today.
The country that was peaceful until yesterday is in the middle of a war today.
Civilizations and creatures that didn't exist until yesterday will have existed from the beginning.
No one doubts it.
No one feels anything is wrong.
Because the world called yesterday never existed in the first place.
...Except for one person.
"The world has changed again."
The young man quietly opens his eyes.
A ceiling that should be familiar.
A room he doesn't know.
A scenery different from yesterday.
Still, he alone remembered.
The world called yesterday.
The people who disappeared.
The memories that are not lost no matter how many times they are rewritten.
The world update system—RE:WORLD.
No one knows its true identity, its creator, or its purpose.
Why does the world continue to be updated?
Why is he the only one who remembers yesterday?
Seeking those answers, the young man sets out again today into a world completely different from yesterday.
To survive the endless "today."*
