There's been a few announcements within the latest Weekly Famitsu. Following news that RPG Astoria Ascending is coming to Switch later this year, this week's issue also revealed that mystery visual novel Fatal Twelve is now receiving a Switch port.
Developed by Aiueo Kompany, Fatal Twelve originally launched for PC back in 2018, and publishers Prototype brought it to PS4 the following year. Prototype is also handling this Switch release, and it has previously offered this brief overview via the game's PlayStation Store page:
Shishimai Rinka thought her life was over... Until she woke up and continued her everyday routine as if her fatal accident had never happened.
Day by day, her sense of unease grew. Until a mysterious girl spoke to her in her dreams. 'A game is about to begin. This is your chance to truly be reborn.'
Presenting a new suspense adventure game! Featuring full HD graphics and text available in English or Japanese (fully voiced in Japanese only).
Unsurprisingly, Famitsu didn't provide details on a potential Western release, only confirming a Spring launch in Japan. Considering Fatal Twelve was previously localised on both PC and PS4, we'd say there's a good chance this Switch edition will follow.
Plan on picking up Fatal Twelve? Tell us in the comments below.

My backlog of visual novel games is starting to run a little low as I've played so many last year, so this is welcome news. If it gets a physical release in Japan like most of the games published by Prototype have, I'll be importing it for sure otherwise if it's eShop only I'll download day one.
another one for the list
Good news.. but I hope we will get more visual novel like World End Syndrome in the future..
I have so many VNs to catch up on. Can't have too many, though. Looking forward to the review!
@Miu i'm playing world end syndrome right now
that's good. i love VN
I enjoyed world end syndrome so I shall give this a try
@Miu I bought this game late 2019, played through the Rei, Saya and Maimi routes, then something distracted me and I haven't played it since but I don't seem to have the motivation to go back. I enjoyed my time with it, but how much better does it get, am I missing out on the best part of the game? Do you recommend i go back and finish it?
I like how it looks.if story is good I'm getting this
@Auenegheps Niceee hope you will like it シ
@TsukiDeity I definitely recommend you to finish it to know the true ending/the truth of Mihate Town.. you were already playing it in recommended route order too
Saya -> Hanako -> Maimi -> Yukino -> Miu -> Truth
If you don't have much time to play it, just follow a walkthrough to finish this mysterious VN シ
ps - I love Miu's route.. hence my username lol
Seems interesting, I’m currently playing Root Film for my VN fix.
@shonenjump86 Same with me xD
Finished Root Letter - Last Answer not long before
Ah another VN to put on my list.
Can't wait for Island and Clannad Side Stories too (english imports)
I played this on PC and really enjoyed. The art and music are great. The story is pretty good, especially with the initial mystery. The story is more about love and acceptance of death
@Miu yes, i'm enjoying it but still don't understand when to save it and if in the same or different save data. i'm on first route in august. then i don't know if i can repeat in other routes failed missions and if i can see the dates of missions
Need more JPN VN to come over....
@Auenegheps From my experience I saved at the end of July (probably 27th) because on August 1 we need to choose which route that we want.
I recommend you to follow a walkthrough unless you want to explore every place/scene on each day.. honestly I can't complete certain mission/route without a walkthrough. Very easy to miss dates/specific place in our mission so create save regularly.
If you just want to finish every route and unlock the truth, you don't need to complete any mission at all. You can repeat failed missions on other routes but I feel it's better to finish the story first.
From this walkthrough
"every witnessed event is recorded into the game's save data, even though you reload a previous save file or go back to the title screen right after"
@Miu I'm still waiting on that update for WorldEnd Phenomenon. (Sequel to WorldEnd Syndrome)
@Miu wow, thanks for the guide. it's so difficult to have all routes on VN. i always go for a guide after i complete it for first time. thank you
Are they really games? runs and ducks for cover
@Miu it’s pretty good I gotta say. Haven’t gotten far but the story definitely has me interested.
Thought this might've been related to the Fatal Frame series for some reason
@tseliot I mean they are, but they're probably in the genre "interactive movie" more than a meta game genre.
Interactive movies/books etc are still games, as you can control what happens to a certain extent.
The same holds true for most games. The level or method of control is all that differs. A visual novel with branching stories is no different from an action game with branching stories. You're actively deciding how to progress. The gameplay portion still revolves around these choices - whatever the game decides to force you to spend the rest of your time doing ultimately doesn't make it any less of a game, even if one game is pretty much just a movie where you make choices here and there, and the other is a button mashing hack and slash hypertempo game
@Miu I just finished your route last night!
@Nekko_Playz I really hope they will port it to Switch too.. can't wait for it xD
@Auenegheps I'd love to finish it first too but I'm stuck on that missions lol. It's my pleasure and good luck for you x)
@shonenjump86 Take it slowly and you will enjoy the truth behind that mysterious town x)
@Doghairdontcare xD That ending for Miu's route was really unexpected for me.. and the truth at the end oh my
@Miu Thanks for the recommendation, I'll definitely get around to it at some point. The kids, wife and Monster Hunter keep me very busy though... haha
@Miu sorry, can you tell me where the aura meter is?
@BananaMetallurgica Checking aura status right? It's in the handbook if I'm not wrong. Don't worry you can raise it quickly just by interacting with everyone.
@Miu but I don't see any handbook😁
@BananaMetallurgica On title screen, select Menu -> Handbook, or press X while on the map, on top right. I think maybe it's only accessible after we reach August hmm.
@Miu oh good, thank you. I'm on 3rd route. I'll try it this night
@BananaMetallurgica It's my pleasure. Take your time and enjoy it シ
@Miu i've just finished it. beautiful VN. i really loved it
@BananaMetallurgica So glad you loved it xD I feel it's not for everyone but I really loved it too.
I plan to buy Fata Morgana visual novel soon.. heard so many good reviews for this game and a very wonderful one.
@Miu yees, i want the house in fata morgana too. looks wonderful. now i'm playing yu-no a girl who chants love at the bound of this world.... one of a longest title ever😅
