This FMV Mystery Set in Akihabara Now Has a Demo, PS5 Pre-Orders Come with PS Plus Discount

A new FMV mystery game titled Akiba Lost has been announced from the Japanese studio behind the acclaimed Death Come True. The game is set in Akihabara, Tokyo’s famous electronics district, and combines full-motion video storytelling with mystery gameplay elements.

A playable demo for Akiba Lost is now available, allowing interested players to experience the game’s FMV-based mechanics and narrative before committing to a purchase. The demo provides a sample of what the full game will offer.

PlayStation 5 pre-orders of Akiba Lost come bundled with a discount on PlayStation Plus subscription, giving players an incentive to pre-order on Sony’s console. This promotional strategy reflects the platform’s push to drive both game sales and subscription adoption simultaneously.

The announcement highlights the growing presence of FMV games on PS5, with titles increasingly coming from studios across Asia—particularly from China and Korea—alongside Japanese developers. Akiba Lost represents another entry in this expanding library of narrative-driven, cinematic gaming experiences on the PlayStation 5.
