Numskull Games has revealed that it will be teaming up with Japanese developer and publisher Spike Chunsoft once more to release YU-NO: A Girl Who Chants Love at the Bound of this World on Nintendo Switch in Europe and Australia.
Earlier this year, a North American release date was revealed with no mention of a European or Australian launch. Thankfully, that announcement has now arrived - it'll be arriving in both regions on 4th October, just three days after the planned NA launch.
If you're not clued up on this one, make sure to check out the official info and trailer down below:
During his vacation from Sakaimachi Academy, Takuya Arima receives a package from his supposedly deceased father. It contains the mysterious Reflector Device, which allows the user to travel between parallel worlds. With help from his friends, teachers, and lovers, Takuya must unearth the mystery of his father's legacy to prevent a calamity threatening to envelop reality itself.
- The Power of the Reflector - Explore multiple timelines and revisit events through the unique gaming mechanic of the Reflector Device. This allows you to explore every timeline in detail. Activate the Reflector Device’s Auto Divergence Map System to return to an event with more knowledge and new items.
-Your Father's Clues - Solve all the mysteries of Sakaimachi to uncover the real secrets lying beneath Sword Cape. Collect items from one timeline and use them in the next to unlock Sword Cape's hidden truth.
-Love Beyond Worlds - Can you find the hidden world waiting beyond Sakaimachi? Fall in love with every character to reach the true ending to this 40+ hour visual novel.
That 4th October release will see the game arrive both physically and digitally, which is very nice to hear indeed.
What do you think? Does this look like it could be your type of game? Tell us in the usual place.

Something is catching my eye at least, but its not the story ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
What a catchy name for a game. Straight translate through google yes?
I'm quite interested in getting the european retail edition, wonder when pre-orders will go live.
It reminds me of "Time Hollow" on the DS.
Good to know. Should be cheaper than importing from the US. Definitely grabbing this one, looking forward to it.
i actually started watching the dub of this anime a month or so ago,..save yourself the money, watch the show online lol.
Interesting. Heard to American release is censored, so this will probally be too, but will pick it up if I find it cheap later.
A mature visual novel? Sweet, now to wait for people to whine and complain in the replies
It's been almost 3 hours, I don't think too many people care, I guess.
This game is originally from the 90s. It's great, a cut above the usual VN, but this article makes it sounds like it's new. This is also the censored version with sex scenes removed that's been released on consoles before, also in the 90s IIRC.
@tobibra The full VN, not the heavily censored, child-friendly version, came out on PC about 25 years ago. You can get it easily online with the fan translation.
I’m not sure I’ll be getting this .... because... YOU KNOW.
@Matroska I'm talking about the remake. Atleast one picture has been censored by an added sunbeam compared to the Japanese Switch version.
Not really sure if I would also consider the changed cursor as censorship, but the sunbeam is bad.

Solve the mystery by falling in love? Imagine if that statement was super literal to how mysteries had to be solved!
Nancy Drew: “UGH, I gotta solve this case about a serial killer, and my budding relationship is LATE to dinner!!”
Been watching the anime - which is airing right now - and I can say its... good but not great. It plays with some cool ideas and has some interesting scenes but it also has some serious plot holes at times.
Also it's less about time travel and more about parallel universes.
@Bunkerneath
In case you're interested, the game's name is based on the name of an American sci-fi short story, "The Beast that Shouted Love at the Heart of the World", which seems to have been popular in Japan.
