About This Game

If all you want is adult CG, look for another game.

THE WAY HOME IS DANGEROUS is not a game made solely for viewing adult CG.

It was supposed to be the end of an ordinary day at work.

You, the player, must make your way home through a city in crisis alongside the heroine, Reika.

But this commute home is anything but ordinary.

The streets have been overrun by infected creatures and hostile enemies, while countless dangers and secrets await throughout the city—from an abandoned hospital and apartment complex to a laboratory, subway, derelict factory, and police station.

A Dangerous Commute with Reika

Explore the city with Reika and resolve the incidents you encounter.

This journey is about more than simply reaching your destination. Meet NPCs, complete quests, discover new locations, and uncover what happened to the city.

You have only one goal:

Make it home safely with Reika.

Varied Weapons and Stylish Combat

The streets are filled with enemies ready to attack you.

Find and upgrade swords and other weapons, then fight your way through in your own style.

As you discover more powerful weapons and learn new combat techniques, you will be able to take on enemies that once seemed overwhelming.

Parry, dodge, and unleash a range of sword skills as Reika grows stronger with every battle.

Exploration and Quests

People across the city are in need of help.

Take on their requests and explore dangerous locations to begin new quests.

Complete quests to uncover new items, weapons, story developments, and clues that lead to your next destination.

Sometimes, where you need to go and what you need to find may matter more than the fight directly in front of you.

Diverse Locations

Your journey home takes you through locations with distinct atmospheres and dangers.

Beginning in the downtown district, you will travel through an abandoned hospital, apartment complex, laboratory, subway, derelict factory, the streets of Tokyo at night, and a police station.

Every area features its own enemies, incidents, quests, and powerful bosses.

And at the end of every road...

The home Reika has longed to return to is waiting.

Your Relationship with Reika

As you and Reika overcome dangerous situations together, your relationship will gradually change.

Learn more about her through conversations and events, and grow closer along the way.

She may appear strong and composed in battle, but as the journey continues, you may discover a side of Reika you have never seen before.

And Adult Content

THE WAY HOME IS DANGEROUS contains content intended for adult players.

Progress through the game, fulfill certain conditions, and discover events to unlock adult scenes and CG featuring Reika and other characters.

But that is not all the game has to offer.

Fight.
Explore.
Complete quests.
Find new weapons and become stronger.
See the story through together with Reika.

Along the way, you will discover Reika in all her stylish and sensual charm.

Make It Home Safely Today, Too.

Share a special journey home with the captivating Reika, even in the face of danger.

The road home is long,
and the city is far more dangerous than it first appears.

Will you and Reika make it home safely?

Together with Reika, make it home safely today, too.

⚠ Survival Notice

THE WAY HOME IS DANGEROUS features a moderately challenging level of combat.

Charging straight ahead without a plan can quickly get you defeated. Study enemy attack patterns and make full use of parries, dodges, and the various weapons available to you.

In a moment of crisis, a Resurrection Scroll can be invaluable. Keep a sufficient supply and use them wisely to continue your dangerous journey home.
