6Deep within the heart of Tokyo's Asakusa district lies the sole office of Judgement 7, a small indie game developer known in niche circles for rushing out poor quality games and obnoxious social media presence. College student [[TheHero Reiji Gozen]] is a new recruit, though he spends more time running errands for his corporate overlords than anything to do with game development. After an intense month-long crunch period, which resulted in another flop, Reiji is roped into beta testing a new AugmentedReality game engine, armed with an unwieldy headset. A mysterious glitch in the engine ends up augmenting his reality in some unexpected ways. He can no longer leave Asakusa; trying to cross its borders will spawn him on the other side of town. The entire population, save for the members of Judgement 7 and a bunch of random monsters roaming around, also seems to have vanished.

10The game was first released on Platform/PlayStationVita, only in Japan. It was later ported to Platform/PlayStation4 and Platform/NintendoSwitch in 2019, alongside a Western release. An expanded port under the new title ''JUDGEMENT 7'' would also be released, but remains Japanese-only.

12!!''Our World is Ended'' provides examples of:
13* ApocalypseHow: Reiji sees a vision of his friends crucified over a destroyed Asakusa in the prologue.
14* {{Chuunibyou}}: Iruka is one full blast and rarely lets up, bringing up each and every dark and edgy anime cliche, like the Akashic records. Chapter 3 reveals his real name is Yuta Umino.
15* HollywoodToneDeaf: Asano, for being the music and sound designer of the studio, is horribly this and yet nobody wants to tell her for fear of getting slugged.
16* IdiosyncraticEpisodeNaming: Each chapter name starts with "Our World Is".
17* OneHitWonder: In-universe. Judgement 7 only ever released one game that wasn't critically panned: ''Synchro Dive''.
