About the Game

Trapped in an Evolving Death Game, he chooses to rebel.

You awaken in a mysterious luxury bar, the Golden Jack, alongside nine strangers, and are forced to play a game by The Owner. Each player represents one of the game's rules. You can disobey your own rule, and that rule will disappear if you die. Only three players can survive...unless you find another way.

Beyond R: Rule Ripper is a visual novel with some light gameplay elements, inspired by series such as Zero Escape, Danganronpa, and Ace Attorney, as well as anime like Death Parade and Kaiji. Mixing suspense, drama, and mystery, with a seasoning of comedy.

Defy the death game by gaining the trust of its players and confronting them in the game's Councils, a face-off between all players where anyone can kill through a vote. Can you tame this wild variety of players before it's too late or will the pressure of death drown you?

Make your voice heard and prevent the discussion from falling into chaos through an imagined game of pool. When do you strike and who?
