Meteor World Actor

About

Meteor World Actor casts you as Hiryuu Ruka, a disgraced officer exiled to the 13th Division, a rogue police unit that ignores orders and helps those the system crushes. This visual novel mixes bureaucratic satire with light action as Ruka clashes with Claris, a naive elf recruit, while navigating a dystopian city where humans barely hold power over magical races. Your choices entangle you in a rescue mission that unravels years of political corruption and personal demons. The game stands out for its sharp dialogue and layered worldbuilding. The Seventh Republic’s authoritarian grip and the 13th Division’s rebellious antics create tension between humor and moral decay. With over 20 branching storylines, player decisions shape alliances and outcomes. Released in 2019, it runs on PC and Android, offering a brisk 15, 20 hour experience. The mix of farce and fantasy earns it a 78/100 on Metacritic.

Storyline

Elves are smart, long-lived, and attuned to the wind. Wips can manipulate flame. Segitts have incredible muscular strength. Somehow, humans have learned to survive. In the racially-diverse technopolis of the Seventh Republic, they even dominate. Out of all the strange and terrible corners of the world, in this one, at least, humans can feel safe. Here, there's strength in numbers. One human, though? Pitifully outclassed against a single member of almost any other race; it'd never be a fair fight—unless that human was a Keeper or carrying some serious Class A police tech. But tech can be stolen, and far from all Keepers are on the side of justice. So how's a nation supposed to keep the peace? Strict border checks. Pervasive, draconian surveillance, with camera eyes and a computerized spine running signals to the heart of the NPA, the National Police Agency. And the physical hands of this digital dragon? The police themselves. Sometimes the hands of justice grip too tight. Among the police, one division dares to stand against the current. One division dares to disobey orders, break regulations, refuse to work overtime, and generally make themselves useless to everyone, especially their bosses, but with the exception of people in need. The 13th Division of the NPA. The Sideliners.
