In the grim darkness of the not-so-far future, the gaming market is filled with very bad games, and Zatch is very, very bored. He eventually finds an unlikely dark horse in the form of a new VR game known as "Gacha Doorkickers", a tactical shooter/strategy game hybrid with a cast full of unique characters and bolstered by a groundbreaking new form of "Interactive AI" which makes said characters act like living, breathing humans with persistent memories, potentially alterable personalities, and room to build a personal relationship with each and every operator you acquire. Truly, a gift from the gods for wannabe mall ninjas across the globe!
