Shinrai - Broken Beyond Despair ($14.99/$19.99: Friday) Hermitage: Strange Case Files ($19.99/$26.59: Tuesday)
Voice of Cards: The Isle Dragon Roars ($29.99/$39.99) In Japan, there's a few major exclusive franchises with Super Robot Wars 30 and Tokimeki Memorial 4, along with no less than five different yuri romance novels. There's also a remake of Atari's Black Widow, and from the Caveat Emptor department there's two more Cotton games coming out. Smaller titles include the remastered horror FPS Dusk, the bizarrely named Happy End (former Indie World game), and the NIS America-published horror title Shadow Corridor.
And speaking of Square Enix, we also get Dave Bautista's Guardians of the Galaxy (you may recall it from the demo at a Square presentation in June that I believe went on until August). He claims it's not related to Nier or Drakengard, to which I say "Sure, Jan". Other major releases of note this week: Fatal Frame/Project Zero V coming out on Switch means we actually don't have an announced Wii U remake now so hopefully it's Xenoblade X time, Aksys goes to the dungeon crawler with Undernauts, and Direct veteran Voice of Cards: The Isle Dragon Roars comes out with creative direction from Yoko Taro. And yes, they DID include some of the original's stick-destroying "rotate the stick" games, so look forward to another round of Joy-Con drift discourse. The most important things in a narratively focused game are the writing and story, and Kathy Rain Director’s Cut perfectly executes both.Nintendo's second first party release of this month, and the one that will inevitably be the better seller because there is no God and the cage isn't thirty feet. The script is compelling, original, and well-written. Both storylines are immensely intriguing, engrossing, and rewarding to experience. Kathy’s increasingly supernaturally-leaning investigation is at once a general mystery about the Conwell Springs community and an intensely personal and human investigation of Kathy’s life and past. No one really knows what the heck caused him to be that way, so Kathy, as a journalism student, takes it upon herself to solve the mystery of her grandfather’s condition. Kathy decides to head over and see her grandpa buried, whereupon she discovers that he had been catatonic for the last decade and a half of his life. The story begins (and ends, I guess) in 1995, when Kathy Rain’s roommate, Eileen, finds an obituary for one Joseph Rain on this new-fangled thing called “the internet.” Turns out, that’s Kathy’s estranged grandfather, and the funeral is the next day.
