Our history in this city of Tokyo begins, when we are attributed a murder that we have not committed, but we are the most wanted by the authorities to appear in the video of the murder.

In order to cleanse our name in this murder, we must convince the powerful people of the city and therefore gain their trust. The confidence of these criminals is doing small jobs for them like killing certain people. Despite being innocent, it will be our entire path to kill other rival enemies of different bands or some people as a yoga teacher or Wally himself.

Tokyo 42 isn't only a game in which we must kill, since it also has other types of missions very different from each other and even the possibility of having motorcycle races in the city itself.
