INTRODUCTION:

What do a young loose-cannon police detective, a former street gang leader, a tenacious tabloid journalist, an introverted pharmaceutical researcher and a mysterious girl in a cat costume have in common? They're all part of 428: Shibuya Scramble (aka 428 ?????????? / 428: Fusa Sareta Shibuya de / 428: In a Blockaded Shibuya), a Japanese visual novel by Spike Chunsoft, best known outside Japan for the Danganronpa and Zero Escape series. 428 was originally only available on the Japanese Wii (where it was published by SEGA) but was later ported to the PSP and PS3 in Japan, and at long last an English localization has arrived for PS4.

Unlike most visual novels, in which you play a single protagonist and are shown static images of the anime characters you interact with, in 428 you will decide the actions of multiple characters whose stories are interconnected in surprising ways and conveyed through live-action video clips and photographs. By ensuring that everyone does the right things and ends up in the right place at the right time, you will unfold an incredibly intricate narrative involving kidnapping, tense races against the clock, surprise plot twists and an all-encompassing threat to Shibuya itself. Not to mention a whole slew of bad endings for all of the characters.

This game is highly recommended to anyone who has ever enjoyed a visual novel and if you've never tried one before it's hard to imagine a better place to start. Be aware, however, that the gameplay consists entirely of reading text, switching between characters and making occasional choices. There are no exploration or puzzle-solving elements.


WALKTHROUGH:

Step 1: Complete the story

Play through the game and enjoy the story. This is not particularly difficult as the game offers optional hints every time you reach a bad ending. Each hour of the story operates as a stand-alone block and when all of the characters survive to the end of that hour, you will be able to proceed to the next.

At any time you can bring up the overall timeline by pressing . This will allow you to easily switch between characters and try different actions. Occasionally an outcome will be affected by the actions of multiple characters. At certain times the game will restrict further progress on one character until one or more of the others are caught up. When this happens you will be shown a "Keep Out" screen and the game will force you to pick someone else. Using the "jump" feature from another character's timeline will break the "Keep Out" and allow the story to advance. Don't forget to "jump" to another character every time the game offers you the chance and be sure to check all of the Tips highlighted in blue text (using then ) as character jumps will sometimes be hidden within them.

If you don't care about the story, you can press the and then use to set the text to auto-play, however it still scrolls a bit slowly and there is no option to speed it up further. The auto-play will pause at any choices and resume afterwards, however it will not pause for optional jumps to other characters.

I've avoided giving away any specific plot elements but refer to the notes under the story-based trophies if you have trouble progressing. This guide offers two walkthrough options: A step-by-step for players who just want to get through the game quickly and a list of correct choices organized by each character's path for players who want to go through the story on their own but would like an easy reference if they get stuck. After completing the tutorial in the 10:00 - 11:00 time block, you can start with any character you like and switch between them at any time. You can check the current time in your selected character's path by pressing to bring up the timeline, then to go back to the story.

You will earn these trophies from a normal playthrough of the story:

Welcome to Shibuya
Cat's Out of the Bag
Who Can You Trust?
Deadly Preposition
Infection
Choice and Sacrifice
Running Out of Time
Shibuya Scramble
The End?


Step 2: View the remaining Bad Endings

Each chapter (hour) of the story has a multitude of bad endings for each of the playable characters, 85 in all. If you're not using a walkthrough you'll almost certainly run into quite a few of them just by playing through the game normally. After finishing you can go back to the individual chapters and try to find any endings you haven't seen. The game keeps track of every ending you've reached and which ones you haven't. You can access this list by pressing the button on your controller while you're in the story (but not from the character selection screen) and selecting "Bad Ending List".

The game makes it easy to jump around the story and experiment with the outcomes of all the different character choices. At any time you can press to bring up the timeline and switch to any character at any moment in time that you've reached. You will be able to bring up specific choices and quickly select a different action, then press to go back to the timeline and see if your changes made any difference. Make sure you try out every possible choice for every character. Choices you have not yet made will be colored green, the current active choice will be red and any choices you have previously made that are not active will be shown as gray.

Refer to the individual trophies below for any endings you aren't able to find. I've listed the choices you need to make at the appropriate times for each character, as well as which character's path you need to be following to get the actual ending. This is designed to be as easy as possible to go back after playing through the story and pick up any endings you may have missed. I recommend this method rather than trying to get them all during your initial playthrough.

You will earn these trophies for reaching all of the Bad Endings:

Bad Times, 10:00 Block
Bad Times, 11:00 Block
Bad Times, 12:00 Block
Bad Times, 13:00 Block

Bad Times, 15:00 Block
Bad Times, 16:00 Block
Bad Times, 17:00 Block
Bad Times, 18:00 Block
The Worst is Over


Step 3: Complete the post-game content

  • "Suzune" scenario - Unlocked by reaching the normal ending and getting at least 50 bad endings.
  • Shibuya side stories - Unlocked by answering the quiz questions and finding the hidden controller inputs in the main story.
  • "Canaan" scenario - Unlocked by reaching the true ending.
  • "Mean Clean" scenario - Available after seeing all 85 bad endings, reaching the true ending and completing "Suzune" and "Canaan".
  • Conspiracy scenario - Available after completing the "Mean Clean" scenario.

You will earn these trophies for completing all of the post-game content:

Secret trophies

  • Finish the "Canaan" scenario.

    The "Canaan" scenario is unlocked by completing the main story and reaching the true ending. Refer to the trophies above for instructions on how to do all of that. Once unlocked it can be accessed by pressing from the character screen and selecting the character of Canaan. If you aren't at the character screen you can press within the story (but not the timeline) and select "Return to Main Menu", then reload your game. Simply read through the scenario and you will earn the trophy. There are no choices to make.
  • View the true ending.

    The True Ending is a slightly different version of the normal Epilogue with an extra scene. To access it, bring up the timeline using and make the following choices:
    Achi's path - 19:00 - Option C
    Kano's path - 19:05 - 2nd Choice - Option A
    Tateno's path - 19:10 - Option B
    Jack's path - 19:20 - Option C
    A new version of the Epilogue will now be accessible. Play through it and when you need to make a choice, select Option A. Watch the remainder of the Epilogue, the game credits and the post-game scene, then the trophy will unlock. This will also unlock the Black Bookmark which gives you access to the "Canaan" scenario.
  • Finish the "Mean Clean" scenario.

    The "Mean Clean" scenario is available after seeing all 85 bad endings in the main story, reaching the true end and completing both "Suzune" and "Canaan". Refer to the trophies above for information on how to do all that.

    It may also be necessary to do both Jumps in the true end Epilogue: Near the end of Canaan's story there will be a Jump back to Maria and in Suzune's story there will be a Jump to Achi. Be sure to advance the text in both of those a bit and press to bring up the main timeline and ensure that the Epilogue is complete and leads to "End".

    Once you have done this, a few new Jumps will appear inside the blue text Tips at certain points in the story. Each of these will take you to a chapter of a strange but amusing side story. You will need to read through them in order:
    Achi's path - 15:30
    Read through the scene until after the van explodes and Canaan warns Achi about Alphard. Don't use to read ahead or the new Tip won't appear. When you see the word "shirt" in blue text, open the Tip to access the new Jump. You'll get a mysterious "Keep Out".

    Maria's path - 16:00
    You should see "scene of the explosion" in blue text immediately. Open the Tip to access the new Jump. Watch the new scene until you get a "Keep Out".

    Kano's path - 16:40
    You should see "South Hill" in blue text immediately. Open the Tip to access the new Jump. Watch the new scene until you get a "Keep Out". At one point there will be a jump back to Kano but you can ignore it.

    Osawa's path - 16:40
    Read through the scene until you see Osawa facing the camera with Kajiwara behind him. At one point there will be a choice but it doesn't matter which option you take. You will see the word "mystery" in blue text. Open the Tip to access the new Jump. Watch the new scene until you get a "Keep Out".

    Achi's path - 17:05
    Read through the scene until you see "side of the road" in blue text, open the Tip to access the new Jump. Watch the new scene and at the end there will be a different credit sequence featuring some behind-the-scenes footage from making the game. At the end of this you will receive the Golden Bookmark and the trophy will unlock.
  • Finish the "Conspiracy" scenario.

    After completing the "Mean Clean" scenario (refer to "The Three R's" for instructions on this), bring up the timeline and select Minorikawa at 17:35. Start at the second choice ("A Common Name 2") and choose Option B, "Nakamura". Wait a few seconds without advancing the text and you will hear a Japanese voice with subtitles at the bottom of the screen. When you are told to "turn the dial", repeatedly rotate the right analog stick and the on-screen image will periodically become distorted. The input recognition can be a little finicky here. I've had the best luck if I start by pressing to the left and then turning it clockwise at the rate of about one rotation per second.

    When done correctly, you will bring up a black screen with several pages of text. Once you read through this, the trophy will unlock.

    If you're playing the Japanese PS3 version, instead of rotating you will need to shake the SixAxis controller really hard.
  • Finish the "True Conspiracy" scenario.

    After completing the Conspiracy scenario (refer to "Cry for Help" for instructions on this), bring up the timeline and select Achi at 17:05. Use to skip through the text until you see the "side of the road" Tip, which contains the Jump to the final chapter of the "Mean Clean" scenario. From there, use again to skip to the last page and then scroll back up until the " Reread" option lights up. The text on screen should start with "Big Joe and Flaps tumbled to the ground." (Thanks to loc182 for pointing out this shortcut.)
    From there you can press the and use to set the text to auto-advance and let the remainder of the chapter play out. At the very end, there will be a different final message with some directional words in all CAPS. Press those directions on the D-pad in order: (right, left, up, down). You will need to do this before the screen fades to black.

    When done correctly, you will bring up a black screen with several pages of text. Once you read through this, the trophy will unlock. You will also receive the Prismatic Bookmark along with the Platinum trophy.

    If you're playing the Japanese PS3 version, when you reach the final page of the last "Mean Clean" chapter, the game will auto-save. Wait a moment until the save indicator disappears, then press the power button to turn off the PS3. You will need to do this before the screen fades to black. Then when you turn the console back on and relaunch the game, you will get the True Conspiracy ending.
