PSYCHO-PASS: Mandatory Happiness Now Available on Steam

Today, NIS America, released PSYCHO-PASS: Mandatory Happiness on Windows PCs via Steam.

The game was previously released for the PlayStation 4, and PS Vita last September, and has finally gotten the PC treatment.

The story’s backdrop is a dystopian future Tokyo where people can be preemptively imprisoned for their propensity to commit crimes, based on a technology-enabled personality scan called a Psycho-Pass. The game takes place in a timeline within the anime’s first 12 episodes.

The player controls one of two characters; Inspector Nadeshiko Kugatachi, who is missing memories of her past, or Enforcer Takuma Tsurugi, whose lover is missing. The antagonist is a rogue artificial intelligence named Alpha, whose objective of bringing happiness to individuals through unsanctioned means brings him into conflict with the government. Alpha attempts to provide happiness through chemical control, mass manipulation, and eventually by reducing the human population. The three characters do not appear in the anime series; the story runs parallel to the TV show’s.

The PSYCHO-PASS: Mandatory Happiness Digital Alpha Edition bundle is also now available, which includes the game and a comprehensive digital art book.
