"Please, allow me to lead the way..."

This page contains story spoilers for NOISZ re:||VERSE; proceed with caution.

Antiphon is a large company founded and run by Gaius Antiphon. The company's main output is technology, and it has stakes in many different markets, including, but not limited to: autocars, weapons, drones, wheelchairs, and mobile phones.

Due to this large range of products, it funds most of Neo-Metro police force's activities and provide most of its military equipment, meaning Antiphon effectively owns both Neo-Metro and its police force. The company's wealth and influence make it now powerful enough to rival the national military.

Antiphon's current focus is on the NOISZ and all variants of it. AI automation is prevalent in the company's decision-making, and can replace employees where needed.

Trivia

• The name "Antiphon" originates from the musical term "antiphon", which describes a chant melody sung before and after a psalm verse.
  • Originally, this was done by alternating choirs spread across a room, leading to the birth of a term to describe this phenomenon as "antiphonal singing" or "antiphony."
