NieR Replicant is set in a desolate and broken recycled world built upon the lies of the previous generations. The sky is overcast constantly and whilst some of the locations are visually stunning there is a constant melancholy feeling lurking in its wake. The story is just as pessimistic. The main character is on a quest to save his dying younger sister from a disease. A mysterious black scrawl has started manifesting itself under her skin. No one has ever survived this disease before and there is not much information recorded about it. As this is happening the monsters of the world, The Shades, are growing more violent and the main character is working as a mercenary to help them get by.   Of course, in typical Yoko Taro fashion, there is a hell of a lot going on behind the scenes. There are practically two plots happening simultaneously, but for someone as dramatic and over the top as him, I was surprised by how basic and easy to follow the main plot is.
