Root Double (from the director of the Infinity series)
Today, Takumi Nakazawa (the director of games like Never7, Ever17, Remember11, I/O, and Myself;Yourself), posted on his blog the link to the new Visual Novel he's directing, √w (I have no clue what it means, BTW: "Square Root of W"?) There's no real information besides the fact that it will be a Sci-fi/Suspense VN, much like the Infinity series.

But the name "Square Root of W" compared to Takumi's previous work seems to be getting me curious what this is about.. Of course I'm not expecting it to actually talk about the Square Root of W... Or will it? Just really have nothing to say until more information is said about it

Depending on how things go, I might try translating this one too someday, but for now, I'll stick with doing Never7, 12Riven, and I/O. I wonder if this one will take place in the same timeline as the Infinity series too?

BTW, here's a picture of the sillouettes of the characters, taken from the video:
I can't really tell from the sillouettes, but they seem younger than most of Nakazawa's typical casts- with the exception of the man in the center. |

The title is quite interesting.
Its most definitely square root, but what does W mean? Perhaps Watts or Work (in physics). Tho, My first thought was 4th dimension (XYZW), which usually is referred to as space-time. So I guess business as usual for Infinity series. Also, something tells me that professor dude in the middle will die at the start of the game and you cant save him :S

Yeah, I figured that "W" was probably a physics term or something like that. On Nakazawa's blog, he says one of his interests is science (not that the Infinity series didn't make that obvious enough), so it's probably something like that.
As for the professor dude, I'm thinking one of three options for him. 1. He'll be a seemingly minor character who turns out to be the main villain in the end. 2. He'll be a Yomogi-esque, "Wise Old Man" character. 3. He'll have a supporting role with some major influence on the plot, but won't really do that much. |
