A few weeks ago, Arc System Works announced that World End Syndrome will be released in North America, but there was a catch: that release will be digital-only, via the Nintendo eShop. But European players interested in a physical copy of the game have nothing to worry about: PQube has announced that the game will get a retail release in Europe (making import a valid option for North American players who prefer a physical copy of the game).

Here’s a short trailer for World End Syndrome:

And here’s some more details about the game, and more precisely its story:

Developed by the studio famous for not only exceptional fighting games, but also a variety of outstanding indies, WORLDEND SYNDROME combines the thrills of love and mystery. Meet the beautiful characters designed by Yuki Kato, lead artist of the BLAZBLUE franchise, explore the picturesque seaside town and discover a nightmare that seems to recur every 100 years.

“The smell of the sea, the sound of the waves – Mihate-chou is a gorgeous town!”, the new transfer student thought as he walked to his new home for the first time. The years at his former school had not been particularily pleasant, so he was happy to find a scenery that seemed to be colorful and bright – almost inviting.

A rope tightens around a neck.

As the first weeks passed, the exchange student grew more and more sceptical, as life has taught him that every rose has its thorn. What could this town’s “thorn” be? He found friends in class, joined a club, enjoyed coming home after school and some girls even seemed to be interested in him. This place was too perfect to be true and he started to become scared of what was hiding below its surface.

A knife slowly cuts into skin.

Disappearance incidents and corpses coming back to life every 100 years? What. A. Joke.

100.
