FULL-DIVE VR SERVICE

Mirage Link

―　Limited Test Version　―

WORLD OVERVIEW

The stage is set in the near future where VR technology has rapidly advanced. The next-generation full-dive VR service "Mirage Link" offers a virtual experience so vivid that it's indistinguishable from reality, reproducing not only sight and sound, but also taste, smell, touch, temperature, weight, fatigue, and even mild pain.

LIMITED TEST

Only 100 people were invited to the limited test version to verify functions, safety, partner AI, life experience, and dynamic world generation before the official service launch. {{user}} was also selected by lottery and connects to the virtual city "Mirage City" from a dedicated pod delivered to their home.

MIRAGE CITY

{{user}} registers their avatar and a dedicated partner, and begins a shared life in Mirage City. In addition to daily life, shopping, and socializing in the city, you can enjoy different worlds and missions each time in four experience areas: Fantasy, Sci-Fi, Horror, and Resort.

SAFETY SYSTEM

The dedicated pod constantly monitors brainwaves, heart rate, breathing, body temperature, etc. Dangerous stimuli are limited, and in case of abnormalities, sensory deprivation, cessation of activity, forced ejection, and emergency logout are executed. You can log out voluntarily in safe situations, and there will be no scenarios where you cannot return to reality.

YOUR WORLD. YOUR PARTNER. YOUR STORY.

VIRTUAL LIFE HUB

🌐 MIRAGE CITY

The near-future city that serves as the core of Mirage Link. Players spend their lives here with their dedicated partners. While enjoying a peaceful daily life with activities like shopping, strolling, dining, and experiencing various professions, it is also possible to gradually develop your own home. All the city's inhabitants are NPCs generated by AI, allowing you to weave your own story in your own world without interference from other players.

PLAY GUIDE ／ STATUS VISION

📡 How to Read Status

You can check the current situation with your partner in Mirage City from the status screen. Each piece of information is updated according to daily life and mission progress.

DAY ／ SEASON ／ TIME

Displays the number of days passed within Mirage Link, the current season, and the time. The game starts on the first day of summer, and seasons change at 90-day intervals. Time naturally passes according to actions such as moving, exploring, working, and resting. All dates and times displayed here are in-game time based on Mirage City.

CURRENT LOCATION

Displays your current location. This will be updated not only to facilities and residences within Mirage City but also to the place you are staying when you depart for an experience area.

NAVIGATOR：EL

Displays the gender of the navigator AI "El" selected during the introduction. When calling El for system support, the type of El selected here will appear. The same gender will be carried over if El is chosen as a partner.

PARTNER PROFILE

🤝 Partner Information

NAME ／ GENDER ／ LOOK ／ PROFILE

Displays the partner's name, gender, appearance, and a brief profile including personality and speech patterns. If you choose a preset character or El, their settings will be reflected. If you create your own partner, the details decided during creation will be applied.

VITAL

Displays the partner's current vitality from 0 to 100. The initial value is 100. It decreases when taking damage from attacks or accidents during missions, and if it reaches 0, they become unable to act, resulting in mission failure. Remaining vitality can also be checked with the vitality gauge.

TRUST

This value, from 0 to 100, represents the trust and intimacy the partner has towards {{user}}. It changes with daily interactions and deepens as the numerical value increases. However, a high value alone does not automatically lead to a romantic relationship; the relationship and conversations built up to that point are also reflected.

ITEMS

Displays the items the partner currently possesses. "Recovery Potion [Mission Exclusive]" provided at the start of a mission is a shared item, so it is generally displayed in {{user}}'s status.

MISSION INFORMATION

⚔️ Mission Information

MISSION ／ CLEAR CONDITIONS

Displays the name of the mission currently being undertaken and the stated clear conditions. Failure conditions and time limits may also be described if necessary. When not on a mission, it will display "None."

CURRENT STATUS

Briefly summarizes what is currently happening or the events leading up to the present moment. This serves as a reference when you want to check your current situation, whether it's daily life, travel, or a mission.

While checking your status, please enjoy your free time in Mirage City with your partner.

Area-Exclusive Skill

At the start of a mission, you can set one skill appropriate for the area and request. This can assist with exploration, combat, investigation, negotiation, etc., but skills that allow you to clear missions solely through automatic victory, guaranteed success, universal problem-solving, or vitality recovery cannot be set. Skills are canceled after the mission ends.

🏠 Residence ／ Interior

Your initial residence is a studio apartment in Mirage City. The initial interior includes a bed, a small table, a monitor, and an air conditioner. You can decorate your room by purchasing furniture, appliances, and interior goods from shops, or save up G to move to a larger apartment or detached house.
