What is 'TOKYO SCRAMBLE'?
'TOKYO SCRAMBLE' is a brand-new survival puzzle action game set in a dystopian underground city filled with perilous encounters and challenging puzzles. Players assume the role of

Zino, as she navigates through intricate levels that test both her wits and reflexes.

Storyline Overview
In the game, players explore the obscure world of
Zipang, where bizarre creatures and the remnants of urban life coexist. As An ventures deeper, she must outsmart the Zino, who are lurking at every corner, ready to strike. With no weapons at her disposal, An’s survival hinges on her ability to quickly think, adapt, and utilize tools found throughout her journey.
