Here is an overview of the game, via XSEED Games:
Updated from its original release for a new generation, AKIBA’S TRIP: Undead & Undressed Director’s Cut places players in the role of Nanashi, an otaku mysteriously transformed into a vampire and thrust into a conspiracy of “Synthisters” plaguing the electronics mecca. Alongside a colorful cast of allies known as the “Akiba Freedom Fighters,” Nanashi must defend his fellow otaku from vampire predators, discovering that the best strategy to defeat them is to strip them of their bare essentials and expose them to the cleansing power of the sun! Featuring a fully voiced “true ending” route starring lovable maid Kati, original side quests introducing more offbeat otaku denizens of Akihabara, and an arsenal of new weapons and armor, AKIBA’S TRIP: Undead & Undressed Director’s Cut brings modern supernatural adventure for the Japanophile of discerning tastes.
