Characters
Kuranari Takeshi
One of the game's protagonists, he is a 20 year old college student who came to LeMU with his friends. After getting trapped in LeMU (by being locked in an elevator with Tsugumi), he becomes part of the group. He is somewhat foolish at times, but is very headstrong and has many leadership qualities.
Voiced by: Soichiro Hoshi
- Determinator: Particularly towards the end. Despite all the shit he's put through, no matter how badly his body is injured, he keeps going no matter what the risks.
- Hand Behind Head: On Kid's routes, Takeshi always has his hand behind his head, with the exception of a few CGs.
- Human Popsicle
- Idiot Hero: Even he calls himself "The biggest idiot in the world" at one point.
- Luke, You Are My Father: Gets put through this when Hokuto talks to him. His reaction is to assume he's either gone nuts or is dreaming.
- Our Hero Is Dead: Every single one of his routes ends with him dying. Justified, as his death is what kicks off the second half of the plot, and is eventually subverted in the end.
- You Gotta Have Blue Hair
The Kid
The game's other protagonist. Presumed to be about 14-15 years old, he mysteriously lost his memories, and has no idea why he was in LeMU. He is a bit timid and unsure, but always seems to maintain a kind disposition.
Voiced by: Soichiro Hoshi
Komachi Tsugumi
A mysterious 17 year old girl. Very antisocial, she dislikes talking to people and is often distrustful of them. Her personality is cold, often either ignoring others or speaking harshly to them.
Voiced by: Yuu Asakawa
- Absurdly Youthful Mother
- Action Mom/Mama Bear: In "After You've Gone".
- Hot Mom
- Luke, You Are My Father: Subverted in that she already knew.
- Broken Bird/Break the Cutie: Happens to her twice
- Death Seeker
- Defrosting Ice Queen: She refrosts after Takeshi's "death", defrosts again when she discovers she's pregnant, refrosts AGAIN after she's forced to give up Hokuto and Sara, and finally defrosts permanently in the True Ending.
- First Girl Wins: Though it's not obvious that she's the First Girl.
- Healing Factor
- Meaningful Name: "Tsugumi" is homonymous to an archaic word that means "phoenix", i.e. immortal. The actual spelling of her name, "moon and sea", is a nod to "Lullaby of moon and sea" that features in the story.
- Nietzsche Wannabe: Not always, but she has her moments.
- Official Couple: With Takeshi.
- Older Than She Looks: She's actually older than Takeshi and 23 at the beginning of the story.

- Tsundere: By the end of her route, and permanently by the Epilogue.
Akanegasaki Sora
A 24 year old woman who seems to work at LeMU, Sora is actually a holographic AI programmed to act as a guide to LeMU. She is calm and collected at all times, and is very helpful in explaining the inner workings of the park.
Voiced by: Hiroko Kasahara
- Brain Uploading: How she escapes LeMU in 2017.
- Projected Woman
- Rapunzel Hair
- Robot Girl: She gains an android body sometime before 2034.
- Literal Split Personality: Briefly during Kid's route, when her "emotional" and "cold" sides collide.
- Valley Girl: Played for laughs in her route: when Takeshi is trying to teach her how to act more "human", he teaches her to talk this way. However, when it ends up making Coco cry, they agree she should just talk like she normally does.
- What Is This Thing You Call Love?
- Yamato Nadeshiko
- Yandere: Has a brief streak of this in her route after seeing Takeshi and Tsugumi having sex.
- Younger Than She Looks: She was activated only 6 years ago.
Tanaka You
A 19 year old employee at LeMU, You is a very energetic girl who often acts as the mood maker of the group, trying to keep everyone's spirits up. Her full name is actually Yuubiseiharukana (due to her father wanting to give her a unique name to contrast with her common last name), but she shortens it to You. Is a good friend of Sara's, who calls her "Nakkyu".
Voiced by: Noriko Shitaya
- Genki Girl
- In-Series Nickname: Sara and Coco call her "Nakkyu".
- Overly Long Name
- Who's on First?
Matsunaga Sara
A 16 year old girl who was on a field trip to LeMU, Sara is also an energetic girl. She is very intelligent for her age, already being an accomplished hacker, but she has an obsession with ninjas. She is You's friend and old schoolmate, having gone to the same high school. For some reason, she only appears in the Kid's routes.
Voiced by: Kana Ueda
- Genki Girl
- Girlish Pigtails
- Ill Girl- in "After You've Gone".
- Long Lost Sibling
- Morality Chain: She, along with her brother, are this for Tsugumi.

Yagami Coco
A 14 year old girl who was visiting LeMU, Coco is a very childish but upbeat girl who is always smiling despite the dangers. She is accompanied by her robot dog Pipi. For some reason, she only appears in Takeshi's routes.

Spoiler Characters
Kaburaki Ryogo
The Kid from the 2017 incident. During the incident, a brief possession by Blick Winkel causes him to lose his memory. After escaping LeMU, he joins You'haru in the "Third Eye Project", a plan to save Takeshi and Coco.
During the time between the two incidents, Kaburaki graduates from school and joins Leiblich, like You'haru.
Voiced by: Soichiro Hoshi
- Broken Bird: Is much more cynical as an adult due to the events of the last 17 years.
- Dead Person Impersonation: He impersonates Takeshi, although "dead" part is subverted later.
- Determinator: In "2035", where he keeps struggling to save Sora despite the fact that he is increasingly endangering his own existence in the process.
- Did Not Get the Girl
- Laser-Guided Amnesia: In an odd twist, he never regains his memories.
- Pair the Spares: He is paired with Sora in the Drama CDs.
- Talking to Himself: Averted most of the time (due to Takeshi and Hokuto not being voiced for most of the game). The main reason he is almost never on screen with Takeshi after growing up is because Soichiro Hoshi's voice for Takeshi and adult Kaburaki is exactly the same.
- The Mole: During 2034 incident.
Kuranari Hokuto
The Kid from the 2034 incident, and the game's other protagonist. He is the twin brother of Sara, and the son of Takeshi and Tsugumi, and a Cure-Human hybrid. Like Sara, he was placed in an orphanage by Tsugumi in order to hide the two of them from Leiblich. Despite that, they were both found and captured by Leiblich, who left him with a foster family and kept surveillance on him.
His Cure-Human status allows him to see infrared light, and also gives him enhanced strength.

- Half-Human Hybrid: Technically. He is Cure-Human.

Tanaka Yuubiseiharukana
The Tanaka You from the 2017 incident. She is the original You Tanaka, whose father disappeared when she was one year old. During her teenage years, she had a fatal heart condition that would kill her in a matter of years, and agreed to clone herself, giving birth to Yuubiseiakikana. Shortly after, she became an employee at LeMU in hopes of finding out what happened to her father.

Blick Winkel observes the events of the 2017 incident (through Takeshi's eyes) and the 2034 incident (through Hokuto's eyes) almost simultaneously, to the point that he believes that the two are the same incident.
