Set in the future year of 20XX, in the town of Akihabara, the once “the holy land of otaku”, otaku culture has declined. When viruses begin invading various fantastical worlds and stealing away people’s memories, a group of girls take a stand. With their otaku-related skills they gather at one of the few remaining otaku shops and battle against the virus.

Released in October 2017 as a Japanese role-playing video game developed by FuRyu, “Pastel Memories” has players placed into the role of a manager of one of the few remaining “otaku shops.” They “raise” various talented otaku girls, and together, players and the girls battle a "virus.”
