About

Lost Days 0: Queen's Dream is a sci-fi role-playing game set in a fractured future where global conflicts and robotic warfare define the world. You play as Io, a double agent navigating political intrigue in post-war Europe. Tasked with investigating a rogue organization, your mission complicates when a deadly assassin enters the fray. The game blends visual novel storytelling with tactical decision-making, as choices shape alliances and outcomes. Set in a universe where former superpowers have restructured into militarized coalitions, the narrative weaves between espionage, rebellion, and the lingering scars of a war fought with humanoid machines. The game stands out for its layered worldbuilding and focus on systemic conflict. With factions like the Great Generals system and detailed base hierarchies, it offers a gritty take on post-apocalyptic governance. While the Sega Saturn platform is a surprise for a 2024 release, it leans into retro aesthetics that fans of strategy-heavy visual novels might appreciate. Early community feedback notes its dense lore and branching dialogue options, though pacing can feel slow. A niche pick for those craving political drama wrapped in sci-fi machinery.
