'Echoes of Aincrad' Announcement Trailer-YouTube
'Sword Art Online' is the story of a player who is unable to log out of the world's first full-dive MMORPG, 'Sword Art Online,' and must attempt to survive a death game in which death in the game means death in the real world. 'Echoes of Aincrad' is an RPG set on the first and second floors of the floating castle called 'Aincrad,' the setting for this death game.
The protagonist controlled by the player is an original character that can be freely customized. Other characters announced include the game's original character 'Iori,' as well as Argo, the information broker who frequently appears in the original work, as well as the original protagonist Kirito and heroine Asuna.
The game has four difficulty settings: Story, Normal, Hard, and Very Hard. After clearing the main story, players will be able to unlock a 'Death Game Mode' in which game over will immediately delete all saved data. Players will be able to take on dungeons with the same tense atmosphere as in the original game.
⚠Game Over = Instantly delete saved data⚠

You might not believe it, but I once put my parasol in the umbrella stand at a cafe, and two ladies in their 60s took my umbrella and said, 'Oh, this umbrella is cute, let's take it home.'

The reason why women are so averse to confessions from introverted men is that, unlike men who gain confidence when a woman confesses her feelings to them, when a woman is liked by a man she considers inferior to her, she feels like 'they think she can do it,' and her self-esteem is actually hurt.
