Taking the role of a young man named Nanashi who was transformed into one of the walking undead himself, players must identify which of
the outwardly human men and women of Akiba are Synthisters with the help of a handy in - game smartphone app, then free them of their clothes, exposing them to sunlight and sending them to the netherworld.
Whereas Frankenstein's creature was a figure of revulsion, an eight - foot grisly caricature of a
man, HAL is the extreme opposite — a machine with no
outwardly human appearance, quiet, genteel, and soft - spoken — making his transformation into a monster all the more chilling.
