The 3rd Birthday

Summary

The game is an action role-playing title that Square Enix refers to as a "cinematic action RPG." According to director Hajime Tabata, the gameplay and story are closely connected thanks to a new feature known as "Overdive," which allows players to swap control with a teammate, giving them the ability to take over friendly NPCs. Players can direct their allies to focus on specific foes or to take cover during battles. The ability to switch characters in real-time is seamlessly integrated with combat. The game uses a third-person over-the-shoulder perspective, similar to titles like Resident Evil 4, Dead Space, and the Mass Effect series. A variety of outfits will be available for Aya to wear as the game progresses, but they must first be unlocked by completing the game on different difficulty levels. In-game clothing can be damaged during combat, gradually exposing Aya's skin.

Storyline

Set in Manhattan, New York City a decade after the events of *Parasite Eve II*, the game follows Aya Brea as she battles enigmatic "Twisted" beings that pose a threat to the city.
