The work "Neil Artificial Life Ver.1.22474487139..." published at the 10th anniversary event of the "Neil" series was illustrated by Mr. Akihiko Yoshida, who also designed the cover and character of "Neil: Automatic Humanoid" released in 2017. Compared to the style of Mr. D.K., who was responsible for the character design of Neil Artificial Life, which was released in 2010, Yoshida's characters have a different flavor. First of all, I will introduce the characters related to this game, and in addition, Mr. Ryoyuki Ban, who is also responsible for the design of the characters in "Neil: Automatic Humanoid", is also responsible for the design of the characters in Diva La & Bobola.

<h3><b>Protagonist: (Voice Actor: Koji Yusa (youth) / Nobuhiko Okamoto (juvenile)).</b></h3>
The protagonist of this work can make people feel a little melancholy from the expression. She cherishes her sister Yuna as her only blood relative. He embarked on a journey to cure his sister's illness. In the case of being too worried about his sister, he occasionally shows very rough actions and remarks.
<h3><b>Book of White: (Voice Actor: Yoshiki Anmoto).</b></h3>
After a long time, I woke up from a deep sleep and could spit out books. He has the side of knowing everything in the world and being knowledgeable and strong, but he can often see him pretending to be stupid and annoying. There seems to be some memory missteps, but the specific reasons have not yet been figured out.
<h3><b>Kaining (Voice Actor: Atsuko Tanaka).</b></h3>
The female warrior whose left half is eroded by monsters, known as "monster possession". The bullying she received from an early age because of her intersex identity filled her heart with strong feelings of resistance. In addition, in order to prevent the monsters that are afraid of the sun from further eroding their bodies, they usually like to wear clothing with extremely high exposure. Contrary to her beautiful appearance, she is very rough in both speech and attitude, and is a very big grinning woman. In battle, she will use the two long knives in her hand to chop up all the monsters that come nearby.
<h3><b>Emile (Voice Actor: Munwaki Maiyi).</b></h3>
A teenager who lives in a western-style house under the care of a housekeeper. Gentle and steady, he has the ability to petrify everything he sees. Because of the strong sense of guilt about holding this ability, I fantasize that one day, I will no longer petrify the things around me and observe the world with my own eyes. There is a special affinity for the protagonist who accepts his own special ability, but there are also some sides that do not care much about the mood of others.
<h3><b>Yuna (Voice Actor: No nakaran).</b></h3>
Very concerned about her brother, a vibrant girl who has been working very hard. Born weak and sickly, she was infected with a strange disease that spread in the world [Heiwen disease]. But her cute appearance and vibrant personality also appealed to the people around her.
<h3><b>Diva La & Bobola (Voice Actor: Ryoko Shiraishi).</b></h3>
Twin sisters who live in the protagonist's village. I know the protagonist brothers and sisters very well. As the director of the Muranaka Library, Bobola has a calm and gentle personality. She also paid attention to the wording very carefully when she spoke, and I could feel her very strong side. Divala, on the other hand, has a lively personality and loves to sing. Singing is often performed by the fountain in the village.
At the same time, part of the battle screen of this game has also been made public for the first time, and instead of calling it a "high-definition reset" that makes the material high-definition, it can make the human body feel a new feeling described by "remake".
<h3><b>The protagonist's village</b></h3>
The vast world is invaded by the mysterious disease [Haven Disease] and the Monster Disease that spread from the world. At some point, a huge monster attacks the protagonist's village.
<h3><b>Temple of Sand</b></h3>
A huge monster that hovers in the depths of the temple and is built by the gathering of blocks. It was also very exciting to look forward to the strange performances that were different from other types of games at that time.
<h3><b>Cliff Village</b></h3>
Appearing in the village of the cliffs, there are eyeball-like monsters wrapped in a solid shell and tentacles. The barrage of bullets roared like fish roe.
<h3><b>Tokyo</b></h3>
Tokyo, where the story begins. The sense of ruin is further enhanced, and (obviously it is summer) looks colder.
Neil: Artificial Life ver.1.22474487139... will land on PS4/Xbox One on April 22, 2021, and the Steam edition will be unlocked on April 24, 2021.
