Death and reQuest

Usually I'm not a big fan of Compile Heart/Idea Factory , but critics are saying their latest RPG, Death and reQuest actually has an interesting story and good battle system. It's about game programmers who created a virtual realm known as World's Odyssey. One day, Arata receives a message from Shina who is now stuck in their incomplete and (literally) bug-ridden video game world. The two learn that the only way she can escape is if she completes the game with the best ending. Along her journey, she'll meet plenty of characters who are presumably just AI although they remain mysteriously realistic so the lines between reality and fiction begin to blur.
