Let's become a Hacker! Let's Play Digimon Story: Cyber Sleuth - Hacker's Memory

The Story
The story of DSCS: HM runs parallel to the one from the first game. In this story we follow our protagonist Keisuke Amazawa, whose Eden account is stolen in a hacking attack. After the identity theft leaves him accused of a crime he didn’t commit, he joins a group of hackers called “Hudie” and delves into the depths of Eden to find the real culprit. Along the way, he befriends a number of Digimon, digital lifeforms who inhabit the information world and are used as hacking tools. Characters from the original Cyber Sleuth such as Fei and her partner TigerVespamon from the hacker group Zaxon also appear, showing a previously unseen side of their story from the previous title.

Spoilers
While I have played the first Digimon Story game, I do not remember much, as well as I am going into this Let’s Play completely blind, so while you may correct/add connections to the first game, please do not spoil this game for me or other viewers.

Notes
In my updates I will list the digimon I will be using as well as characters that we are introduced to as the story goes along. Also I have already started this playthrough and I am quite a few episodes in but I just heard about this site recently and decided to post the first one on here.

The story picks up right where we left off after the first episode our Protagonist escapes Eden to meet up with the other members of Hudie. After that we get our first cases…but it is more like errands, and run into some familiar faces from the first game

New Characters


Erika Mishima: The only female of “Hudie” and the sister to Ryuji, Erika uses her special stuffed animal/keyboard Memetan to process all data that is sent her way. Oh also the stuffed animal on her shoulder is used for data output, and her slippers hold memory…somehow.


Chitose Imai: Or as my girlfriend likes to call him “Chi Chi”, Chitose is the last member of Hudie and comes off as a womanizer. He specializes in data collection specifically from maleware that he has installed all across EDEN.

We also meet up with some characters from the previous game who include; the police officer Goro Matayoshi, the members of the Inoden Occult Research Club, and of course the great detective Kyoko Kuremi (my mentor from the first game)

No new Digimon this episode

We continue our story by going back into EDEN to help maintain some malware Chitose installed, and in doing so we stumble upon rumors of a cat and a purple maned witch in EDEN. Investigating further, Erika opens the door to the digilab where our protagonist meets the mysterious Mirei Mikagura
