In The Caligula Effect 2 a virtuadoll named Regret has created the world of Redo in order to save people from their past regrets by unknowingly imprisoning them in a simulation. However, this "paradise" is shaken to the core when a virtual idol named X breaks into Regret's virtual reality and restores a high school student's memories of the real world. In order to escape Redo, they re-establish the Go-Home Club, a resistance group that seeks to fight against Regret and her enforcers, the Obbligato Musicians.

Critic Reviews
RPG Fan
By Audra BowlingThe Caligula Effect 2 is a standout sequel.
Everyeye.it
By Antonello "Kirito" BelloCompared to the PlayStation 4 version that landed in stores only two years ago, the port does not have any significant additions and both the technical and graphic sectors are almost unchanged. If you already own the previous edition, which these days is offered at much more reasonable prices, there is no valid reason why you should prefer the very lazy port proposed by NIS America.
PlayStation Universe
By Timothy NunesCaligula Effect 2 tries to mix up the RPG formula with combat previews and expanded social elements. However, much of those ideas get buried under their over complicated presentation and execution. There is something new here that RPG fans may be curious about, but not many others will take a chance on it.
Game Lodge
By Pedro LadinoThe Caligula Effect 2 takes all the good ideas of its predecessor and improves on them considerably. It's a game that will go unnoticed by 90% of the public, but those who play it will experience one of the most well-crafted and explored stories in the niche.
Hey Poor Player
By Andrew ThorntonThe Caligula Effect 2 is far from unique. It wears its influences front and center and isn’t quite on the same level as any of the modern Persona titles. There are only a few of those, though, and if you’ve played them and want something more, then The Caligula Effect 2 is absolutely worth checking out. With an interesting battle system, appealing characters, and a killer soundtrack, I consistently had a good time until the credits rolled.
