In Death end re;Quest Code Z, a roguelike departure from previous installments, players can customize Sayaka’s weaponry at a cafe managed by Levin. They can also enhance abilities by acquiring skill points, earned by reaching the “Death End.”
With each playthrough, players grow stronger even in death, accumulating skill points to invest in the “Death End Skill Tree.”
Depending on the game’s difficulty level, some items may be reset when reaching the death end. However, an in-game “closet” feature provides a solution: you can store acquired items in Sayaka and Shina’s room, ensuring they are not reset upon reaching the death end.
Furthermore, inside their shared room, players have access to a photo mode where they can arrange figures on the screen to create custom scenery. Choose backgrounds and characters, then pose them in various ways to craft unique situations to your liking!
