The game is set in the cyberpunk world of Soul City in the year 2070, which is ruled by a megacorp called Trinity Inc. The protagonist, B, is a private eye who lives a hikikomori lifestyle. After an \u201cunfortunate incident,\u201d B is employed as a subcontractor by the Soul City Police Department (SCPD). B investigates assigned crime scenes independently and arrests suspects.&nbsp;<br>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"562\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" src=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/20240418-29819-001.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-29823\" srcset=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/20240418-29819-001.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/20240418-29819-001-380x214.jpg 380w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/20240418-29819-001-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/20240418-29819-001-600x337.jpg 600w\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>As a hikikomori, B never leaves home and thus investigates crime scenes remotely using futuristic technology such as AI robots that look for clues left by culprits. Judging from the in-game screenshots that have been released so far, it appears that several filters can be used during the investigation of crime scenes. For example, by using the footprint filter, footprints left at the crime scene will become detectable, and B will use these filters to search for traces of the suspect at the crime scene. Once you find the culprit, you can talk to them to get more information and use the emergency arrest system to settle the case.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Additionally, There is No Plan B will feature unique partner characters who help B analyze evidence during investigations. The cast can be invited to dinner parties and interacted with. The cyberpunk environments of Soul City and the crime scenes are depicted in 3D, while character sprites are animated in 2D, making for a unique combination.&nbsp;<br>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"562\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" src=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/20240418-29819-004.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-29824\" srcset=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/20240418-29819-004.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/20240418-29819-004-380x214.jpg 380w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/20240418-29819-004-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/20240418-29819-004-600x337.jpg 600w\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>There is no Plan B is being produced by the South Korean indie developer SUPERWAVE Studio, who have previously released the mystery adventure game <a href=\"https:\/\/store.steampowered.com\/app\/941650\/The_Island_Into_The_Mist\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">The Island: Into the Mist<\/a>.
