Counter-Strike Neo: White Memories - Episode 9: Cast Away

Counter-Strike Neo: White Memories - Episode 9: Cast Away is the ninth instalment of the Counter-Strike Neo: White Memories series of episodic visual novels. The series was created to promote and expand upon the setting of the Japanese arcade game Counter-Strike Neo, an instalment in the Counter-Strike series of first-person shooter games.

The White Memories series are classified as kinetic novels; visual novels which feature a linear storyline with extremely limited player choice or interactivity. However, half of the White Memories novels feature interactivity in the form of playable segments that loosely resemble typical Counter-Strike gameplay instead of branching story paths. In Episode 9: Cast Away, the interactive portion tasks the player with shooting incoming enemy soldiers with an equipped AK-47. The enemies shoot back and will kill the player if they are not killed first, resetting the scenario until the player is successful.

White Memories is set in the same futuristic setting as Counter-Strike Neo. War has broken out between two major powers: the megacorporation NEO, whose wealth and unethical command of nanotechnology has allowed them to grow beyond the control of the government and seize entire cities by force, and the Cosmopolitan Special Forces (CSF), a global task force formed by the United Nations to topple NEO and restore democracy. In Episode 9: Cast Away, the protagonist, a CSF soldier named Shou, participates in an attack on a NEO location.
