Before diving into GNOSIA, let me first explain what a 'Werewolf Game' is! (To put it simply,) it’s a party game where you deduce who the impostor is through conversation. The roles are divided into villagers and werewolves. The werewolves disguise themselves as villagers while aiming for total annihilation, and the villagers must identify and eliminate all werewolves before being wiped out (or before the werewolves outnumber the villagers). The exciting part is that the werewolves can blend in with the villagers during discussions, creating thrilling tension as players figure out who’s telling the truth and what their real identity is!

And GNOSIA is a simulation game that lets you enjoy this typically multiplayer werewolf game alone! Released in June 2019 as a downloadable software exclusively for PS Vita, it later became available on various platforms and established its popularity as a game that lets you experience the excitement of werewolf-style deduction and strategy!

The story is set aboard a spaceship.
The crew discovers that among them is a member infected by an unknown enemy called “GNOSIA,” which preys on humans.
In this situation, where no one knows who the enemy is, the crew must avert total annihilation by selecting the most suspicious person to put into cold sleep, rendering the GNOSIA inactive.
Through repeated discussions, the crew debates to uncover what exactly “GNOSIA” is, but......?

What makes this game GNOSIA so fascinating? Well, its charm is directly tied to spoilers, so I can't explain it in detail, but...... it’s amazing! It’s well-crafted as a game, and above all, the story is absolutely incredible! I truly hope you experience the ending without knowing anything beforehand! If possible, play the game yourself and uncover the truth of GNOSIA before learning the conclusion through the anime!”}

Additionally, regarding this anime adaptation, the production team commented, 'We aim to deliver awe and excitement in every episode with expressions and visuals that were unattainable in the game. While the game offers countless dramas depending on the number of players, the anime introduces a protagonist with their own will within its world. Out of infinite possibilities, we weave a single narrative, and we hope viewers will follow the protagonist’s journey through the world of GNOSIA to the very end.' This suggests a high level of passion and a distinctly different approach from the game version......!

So, if you’re looking for something fun to play during the holidays, I highly recommend giving GNOSIA a try! It’s thrilling, and with the anime just around the corner, the sense of accomplishment you’ll feel upon reaching the ending is absolutely phenomenal!
