The entire contest has been set in the world of Metropolis, where the nights are endless, and so are the drinks. But behind all these lights, is a dark secret. An enigmatic creature called the Colour Out of Space hides within the brightness, attracting and then alienating all those who have been blinded by the beauty of Metropolis. Will you be able to see through the lies and deception?

You can register for COA5 through the dedicated site. There are also numerous costumes and rewards already available in-game. Gather your friends and visit Metropolis by downloading Identity V for free on the App Store and Google Play.
