Amon has been killed in his laboratory, and his assistant, Jun Kageyama (景山 純), whom Maria have met during the interview, is the prime suspect.
While on a search for the truth behind Amon's murder, she stumbles on a conspiracy of a huge proportions.
It has been two years since the events in Maria: Kimitachi ga Umareta Wake , and while the setting is the same as well as some recurring characters, the stories are anything but connected.
The gameplay is similar to its predecessor, using text-only during dialogue with characters while emphasizing key scenes with voice-acting and pre-rendered CG videos.
Aside from direct dialogues in a visual novel style, Maria can use her computer and check emails to gather information.
The game features three different endings available during first playthrough, after which the save game can be used to start new game which will open additional scenario routes and unlock two more attainable endings.
About PlayStation
The original PlayStation (1994) brought CD-based gaming and 3D graphics to the mainstream, ending Nintendo's console dominance of the previous two generations. It's now firmly in "retro collecting" territory: original jewel cases with intact manuals command a real premium over disc-only copies, and several RPGs from its later years (when Sony deliberately courted the genre) are among the most expensive commonly-collected games from the era.
Gamevaro tracks Maria 2 for PlayStation with separate market values for loose, complete-in-box (CIB) and factory-sealed copies, sourced from real eBay sales. Prices also vary by region — PAL, NTSC-U and NTSC-J releases of the same game often sell for different amounts due to print run sizes and regional collector demand.
Adding Maria 2 to a Gamevaro collection takes seconds — search by title or scan the box barcode, and the app fills in cover art, release details and current pricing automatically. This PS1 release dates back to 1998.
