In a far distant future, a psionic hormone was discovered in the human brain, granting people extra-sensory powers and changing the world as we know it. Just as humanity was entering this new era, deranged mutants known as Others began to descend from the sky with a thirst for human brains. Highly resistant to conventional attack methods, extreme measures needed to be taken to battle the overwhelming threat and preserve humanity. Those with acute extra-sensory abilities, known as psionics, were our chance to fight the onslaught from above. To this day, psionics have been scouted for their talents and recruited to the Other Suppression Force (OSF), humanity’s last line of defense. Take on the role of Yuito Sumeragi, a new recruit to the OSF aiming to become an elite psionic like the one who saved him as a child. Armed with a talent in psycho-kinesis, explore the futuristic city of New Himuka and uncover the mysteries of a Brain Punk future caught between technology and psychic abilities in SCARLET NEXUS. In a near-future world where a substance found in the human brain grants people extrasensory powers, society depends on the Other Suppression Force to defend the city of New Himuka. Their enemy is the Others: grotesque, mindless mutants that descend from an orbiting Extinction Belt to devour human brains. The story unfolds through two new OSF recruits, Yuito Sumeragi and Kasane Randall, each wielding powerful psychokinesis and offering their own perspective on events. As they battle the Others alongside a squad of gifted comrades, the pair are drawn into the dark secrets behind the invaders and the society built to fight them.
