Root Film

This weekend, Kadokawa Games announced Root Film: their latest mystery Visual Novel, following Root Letter. And the good news is that players in Europe and North America will not have to wait very long before getting the confirmation it will be localised and released outside Japan. Indeed, PQube have just announced that the game will be released in Europe and North America, though no release window is provided.

Here’s the English version of the debut trailer:

And here’s some details about the game and its gameplay systems:

Root Film is about a TV series, called “Shimane Mystery Drama Project”, which was cancelled for an unknown reason 10 years ago. To reboot the project, three teams consisting of a director and an actress have been cast, including 23 year old Rintaro Yagumo, the main character of the game.

His excitement about this amazing opportunity is quickly curbed, when a horrible murder interrupts their location scouting process. Follow him and a cast of unique and memorable characters by character designer Taro Minaboshi as they are drawn deeper into the thrilling mystery of Root Film.

  • Intuition – The Intuition mechanic allows players to acquire keywords during conversations. Once activated, Intuition reveals words on screen that will be essential to investigations and confrontations. After collecting enough keywords, you can confront other characters in Max Mode to resolve a mystery. In this fighting-game like face-off, it is essential that enough evidence has been collected beforehand to choose the correct conversation options from a selection screen.
  • Zapping – The Zapping system is a puzzle solving mechanic that reveals the perspective of two characters at the same time. Experiencing events from two different viewpoints will be an exciting and essential tool to find out the truth about “Shimane Mystery Drama Project”!

Root Film (Switch) comes out in 2020 in Japan, and later in Europe and North America. The Upcoming Games page has been updated!

Asphalt 9: Legends

Asphalt 9: Legends was released as a Free 2 Play title on October 8th (October 9th in Japan), and it’s off to a great start it seems. Gameloft have sent a press release to announce that the game has already been installed over 1 million. This milestone was reached in just 7 days (so around October 15th), and does not cover any additional downloads from the second week.

Unfortunately, the publisher does not specify how many players ended up buying the Starting Racer Pack.
