Sony describes the game:
The year is 2222. It has been years since Tears of the New Moon, a mysterious rain, poured and wiped out almost the entire human race. The poisonous rain gave birth to deformed creatures devouring for humans, and humanity fled from the danger. As means for survival, the humans then build an underground haven; Amasia. In this new built dystopian city, on a pursuit of maintaining their existence, they run into an Artificial Intelligence named Magus. Not knowing how things will work between them, the story of how Humans and AI coinciding and trying to find their truths begin.
The game is part of Bandai Namco Filmworks and Bandai Spirits' Synduality project, which includes the television anime Synduality: Noir. The anime's first cours premiered in July 2023. Disney+ streamed the anime exclusively worldwide as it aired in Japan. Hulu streamed the anime in the U.S. The second cours (quarter of a year) premiered on the TV Tokyo, TV Osaka, TV Aichi, TV Setouchi, TV Hokkaido, and TV Q Kyuushuu channels in January 2024. Disney+ exclusively streamed the second cours starting a day later in Japan.
While the game is set in the year 2222, the anime is set 20 years after in 2242.
The franchise also has a manga spinoff titled Synduality: Ellie, focusing on the titular character, which launched in Kadokawa's Monthly Comic Alive magazine in July 2023.
