Bluepoch Games recently announced details for their upcoming version 1.4 update for Reverse: 1999, titled ‘The Prisoner in the Cave.’
Details regarding the upcoming update to Reverse: 1999 were unveiled, including a new main storyline, two new characters, three new gameplay modes, special musical performances, and plenty of rewards.
In case you missed it, here’s an overview of what you can expect from the new update.
New Main Storyline
After the events of Chapter 4, Timekeeper Vertin and arcanist companions Sonetto, Regulus, and Liliya travel to a mysterious island unaffected by the ‘Storm.’ Here. they will follow unreasonable rules to reveal the secret hidden on this island.
After completing the main storyline, a special chapter titled ‘The Star’ will also be available.
New Characters
In this update, two new characters will be joining the Reverse: 1999 roster, those being 37 and 6.
37
Influenced by her heritage and her school, 37 has been obsessed with mathematics since childhood. Because of her insight in the ‘abstract world’, she is able to perceive the world in numbers. Or rather, her perception of the world is only in numbers.
A clever but absent-minded girl, players can summon the 6-star Star-Type arcanist 37 with the banner ‘Beyond the World of Matters.’ in Phase 1 of the update.
6
6 seeks balance in all things. Like Pythagoras, he is a firm believer in moderation: “Excessive virtue is an evil in itself.” As such, he is a paradoxical embodiment of both hudgement and mercy.
Players will be able to summon the scholarly hermit 6, a 6-star Intelligence-type arcanist, with the banner “Seeker in the Cave’ in Phase 2 of the update.
Both arcanists will receive their own Character Story Event.

Reverse: 1999 is a 20th Century Time-Travel Strategic RPG developed by Bluepoch.
On the last day of 1999, the "Storm" fell upon the world. You witnessed an era reversed beneath the rising raindrops. Defying all reasons, what unfolds in front of you is the world of an era long past.
As the Timekeeper, observer of eras, you are free to travel through these eras after each "Storm." With the aid of Sonetto, a powerful Arcanist and ally from the Foundation, your mission is to travel through eras to where the "Storm" is most active, find other Arcanists who can sense the coming "Storm," and save them from being "sifted out" of the timeline.
