Death end re;Quest 2

Death end re;Quest 2 (デス エンド リクエスト2) is a role-playing game developed by Compile Heart and Idea Factory. It is the sequel to Death end re;Quest and the seventh game of Compile Heart's "Galapagos RPG" line of games.

The game takes place within the continuity of the first Death end re;Quest and follows protagonist Mai Toyama as she investigates the strange phenomena surrounding the European town of Le Choara.

Gameplay
Death end re;Quest 2 features similar RPG gameplay to that of the first Death end re;Quest. All of the "Hacking" mechanics from the first game have been removed, and characters no longer die when their corruption reaches 100%.

The story is split into "day" and "night" segments. Day segments feature everyday life around Le Choara, and feature optional conversations with fellow dormmates. Night segments see players controlling Mai and her friends as they explore Le Choara and engage in standard turn-based battles.

Prologue
Mai Toyama has an abusive relationship with her father. The only things that keep her going are the occasional text messages from her sister Sanae and a desire to visit Enigma Games after hacking into World's Odyssey long ago. Her drunken father decides to kill her on a whim, but she grabs his hatchet and kills him.

Chapter 1
Mai's discovers that her mother is dead, and decides to go looking for Sanae. At the advice of Julietta, she travels to the Wordsworth Dormitory in Le Choara. She encounters the bully Vina Miles. She learns that her roommate-to-be is Rotten Dollhart, daughter to Headmistress Midra.

Vina has to make a late night trip to the restroom, violating curfew. Suddenly, she encounters a monster, with Mai hearing her screams. Mai decides to break curfew herself and follow Vina. Le Choara appears to be a dark, monster-infested hell at night, with Mai somehow being able to battle them. The shadowy creature continued to pursue and torture Vina, with Mai decided to head back to the dorm in fear of the monster.

Vina survived the encounter, but was hysterical. The next night, Mai is dressed for sleep when she sees a hallucination of Vina being slammed against her window. She sneaks downstairs to see assistant maid Shizu Melonis dragging Vina off. She also finds a mysterious maid wielding a knife.

Mai heads outside the Dorm and, after battling monsters, finds Vina's corpse. Suddenly, she has a vision of having killed Vina with her bare hands.

Chapter 2
Mai is looking for more information, so she and Rottie travel to the old publisher district. She arrives at a seemingly-abandoned building where Rottie discovers a dusty laptop. They are suddenly ambushed by a monster, but the laptop activates and vaporizes it. The maid that Mai saw with the knife, Shina Ninomiya, arrives and tells her that the laptop is cursed. Shina takes the laptop with her.

The next night, Mai and Rottie decide to investigate the cursed laptop, traveling to Shina's house. When they arrive, the laptop activates. Mai deactivates the security by using an item precious to her: a USB drive with a tiny bit of data, used during a hack into Enigma Games' servers. She feels changes within her, one of which allows her to detect a monster lying in wait to ambush her. After disposing of the creature, Shina emerges and allows Mai to keep the laptop.
