PQube has announced the release date and all available physical goodies for the upcoming Kotodama: The 7 Mysteries of Fujisawa, a high school visual novel that serves as the publisher's first original IP.
The game is set to launch in Europe on 31st May, with the North American release coming just days after on 4th June. All physical editions of the game are set to include a set of art cards and a collection of stickers featuring chibi versions of the main cast.
In addition to these extras, some selected retailers will also be giving away a keyring of the demon fox Mon-chan, a character who makes a pact with players at the beginning of the game and lets you wield the power of the titular Kotodama. A list of these specific stores hasn't been shared at this time.
We'll leave you with a quick description of the game included in a recent press release:
Welcome to Fujisawa Academy - an educational institution where nothing is as it seems and every pupil hides a secret. Having enrolled as a transfer student, everything feels pleasantly familiar. The pupils are friendly, the staff attentive. All the ingredients for a successful academic career. But you’re not here for a quiet life.
Having made a pact with Mon-chan, a sarcastic demon fox, you wield the power of Kotodama – a means of coercing the truth from those who seek to lie to you. It’s not a power to be used lightly. Tasked with infiltrating the secretive Fujisawa Academy it soon becomes apparent that uncovering the sinister goings-on behind the seemingly normal facade may give you more than you bargained for...

Just waiting for shop4megastore to open preorders.
It'll probably be censored to some extent on PS4; rule of thumb with these sort of games is to only get them on Switch/PC.
Looks ok. Will pick it up.
Hard to believe we can get a physical release for the likes of this, but not Ace Attorney.
More weeb garbage
@LUIGITORNADO at least it's not [removed] garbage like the Mortal Kombat ghetto rap trailer.
Please refrain from using that term, it's considered racist.
@SlowPokemon - there's a physical release for the Ace Attorney in Japan. It's all in English as well.
Inb4 "It's sexually explicit perv garbage and the people who made it and play it are trash".
I like the use of the word "novel" here.
@Baart I don't play those games, so whatever.
@LUIGITORNADO yeah whatever bruv
I'm really not so sure about this genre... I mean... are they adult oriented or are they just lighthearted fun type of games?
@Scollurio Visual Novels can be both adult oriented or lighthearted fun, etc.
And this game seems to be both.
Whenever I get the chance, I will get this, but that probably won't happen anytime soon.
is this an interactive visual novel where you can make choices or is it pure story?
Been loving the steady release of visual novel games on the Switch lately. Keep making them and I'll keep buying and playing every one.
If this was VR wow.... lol
I got it pre-ordered-No NA options.
I've recently been getting more and more into Visual Novels because of how much I also like anime. But one trend I think has been done to absolute death are the high school dramas...
But I also have no shame, I mean I happily played Nekopara volumes 1 and 2 and My Girlfriend is a Mermaid so... Nekopara volume 3 when?
I might give it a shot regardless, just because I want to encourage more and more VNs to get western releases.
Shamelessness aside, Planetarium was a legit excellent story.
sighs
So many Steam games I would love to see show up on Switch, yet we keep getting this.......stuff.
big heckin anime t t
@Joeynator3000 All you have to do is BEG at the developers for whatever Steam games you want on the Switch.
You can't stop developers/publishers who want to bring their game to the Switch though.
Is R Kelly a playable character?
Good to see more of these coming to the west, though I wish we got more like Danganronpa and Zero Escape with full english voice acting and more 'game' between the novel parts. I'm down for 2 hours of straight dialogue if the story is interesting, but I've been burned out by the likes of Root Letter, Steins Gate and to a lesser extent Utawarerumono which did have decent bits of gameplay between the 3 hours of Japanese voice acting.
I know it's expensive and time consuming, but if we got Zero Escape and Danganronpa, it can certainly be done.
