428: Shibuya Scramble is a live action visual novel that originally saw a Japanese release back in 2008. A decade in video game years is practically an eternity, and even the most holy of classics can lose some of their magic with age.

Luckily, that’s not really the case here. The story is positively brimming with kinetic energy, and it never feels tame or dated. We meet the main cast of characters in the moments just before a young woman, Hitomi, is about to make contact with her sister’s kidnappers and hand off a hefty ransom in the hopes of seeing her released.
