To ensure a release for the West, changes were made to comply with the Western market. These content changes will also be included in the localized PlayStation®4 and Steam® (PC) versions. To reduce content which could be interpreted as sexualization of characters depicted as minors, the following changes have been made:
PlayStation®4 Packaging art
- In order to conform to public storefront display standards, images that can be interpreted as too sexually provocative must be modified.
Sachika Bedroom Scene CGIs
- In the Japanese release, Sachika’s panties are visible. In the Western release, Sachika is wearing pajama bottoms.
Sachika CGI in the Opening Scene
- In the Japanese release, Sachika’s panties are visible. In the Western release, the camera angle has been raised to not show Sachika’s panties.
Child Rinko Extend Machine CGI
- In the Japanese release, Child Rinko covers her chest with her arms. In the Western release, the position of her arms has been adjusted.
All “Child” bedtime event cutscenes removed

Game Overview
In a span of seven days, God has created a glorious world for mankind. But sadly, it only took one day for humanity to ruin everything in it. As days passed by, it seems like nature is seeking for its vengeance. Everyday life in the world above is slowly drifting apart. Modern civilization is a total wreck and from day to day, it just keeps getting worse.
Until one day, the most frightening disaster came rushing towards the whole globe and instantly killed most of the humanity in a single day. However, there are eight lucky people who survived the catastrophe. Each one labeled with their corresponding sin.
The game brings you into the post-apocalyptic world of Gareki Island leaving behind eight lucky survivors who you will take control of all throughout the game. However, these survivors are all clones. With that, they only have a lifespan of 13 days. And within those days, they will go back from being a child to a teen, adult, and elder.
Moreover, each chapter of the game will concentrate on a different character. The player will encounter battles with various foes throughout the game. In addition, most of the enemies are animals, which will reward the player with elements and ingredients upon defeat.
And now, let us meet the lucky eight survivors you’ll be working with all throughout your journey here in Zanki Zero!
You can watch the trailers for the game below.
