Lost Dimension

Game Overview

Lost Dimension on the PlayStation Vita is a unique tactical role-playing game developed by Lancarse and published by Atlus. Set in a near-future world threatened by a terrorist known as "The End," players take on the role of seals commander Sho Kasugai, a member of a special UN task force called S.E.A.L.S. Each operative possesses extraordinary psychic abilities, but a sinister twist hangs over the mission: a random group of traitors has infiltrated your squad, and they must be rooted out and erased before you can reach the final floor of the mysterious monolith.

The gameplay is divided into two distinct phases. First, you engage in tactical, turn-based squad combat using strategic positioning and psychic gifts. Second, between missions, you use your character's "Vision" ability and gather clues during psychological investigations to deduce which squad members are harboring traitorous intent. At the end of major stages, you must choose someone to eliminate—risking the loss of a trusted teammate or accidentally executing an innocent ally.
