3 articles · Updated · AUTOMATON WEST · Aug 24

Summary

  • FAREIDOLIA is Nexon’s newly named 3D anime bishoujo game, replacing the Project RX codename and adding story and character details ahead of a public showcase.
  • Anima City anchors the game’s parallel-world setting, where players run a restoration center and Twilight Hall while living with superpowered “Mates” and handling citywide problems.
  • 4 revealed characters—Minieh, Ohana, Shami and Elevator Girl—frame the game around everyday life and relationship-building rather than only combat or exploration.
  • October 2024 marked the project’s first tease as an “immersive 3D anime game”; it is led by former Blue Archive producer Min-seo Cha with art direction by Blue Archive designer YutokaMizu.
  • Tokyo Game Show 2026 will host a playable build at Nexon’s booth, with FAREIDOLIA still in development for PC, mobile and consoles.
