The year is 3080 and whilst humanity has evolved, two primal instincts remain: going fast and getting laid. Not always at the same time, though not always mutually exclusive either. Nirvana: Pilot Yume allows you to live both fantasies at once and it is out today on Xbox.
Nirvana: Pilot Yume combines the low-poly racing of classics like F-Zero and mixes in the more modern visual novel storytelling. Racing is a part of life for the universe and acts as a form of conflict resolution. Simply put: be the fastest to win the argument.
When not racing a blisteringly high speeds, you will uncover the lives of young pilot Yume and other Nirvana Pilots. This visual novel features five different endings depending on which decisions you make, and which girl you choose.
With a distinctive ‘80s look and feel, Nirvana: Pilot Yume is an ode to the classic racers of old as well as providing an engaging story to keep players hooked. How hooked I hear you ask? Well, our review will have all the answers coming soon.
