FURYU Corporation has some exciting news for RPG enthusiasts! On August 26, they’re launching their new high school RPG, Varlet, on PlayStation 5 and Nintendo Switch. You’ll definitely want to dive into this one!
Picture this: you’re stepping into Kousei Academy, where cutting-edge meets education. It’s the first school to roll out "Johari," a cross-reality, virtual reality network. This versatile app covers it all—from gathering information and shopping to social networking and messaging. But there’s a twist: it fuels a craving for approval among users, sparking an odd urban legend. Rumor has it that those who obsess over these desires might vanish into eerie "Glitches," and, even scarier, they’re replaced by monsters in the real world, leaving everyone none the wiser.
Our protagonist quickly finds out that these whispers hold truth. Students have already started being swapped with these otherworldly creatures, and it’s up to them to take action. As part of the Student Support Services (SSS)—a group devoted to handling the academy’s issues—players will need to support their teammates, forge strong friendships, and stand up to protect their school from looming disaster. But beware, getting too close to multiple friends might stir up unexpected drama.
Step into the world of Varlet and test your prowess in not just battling foes but also managing the intricacies of high school relationships in a virtual reality that feels all too real. This is one game you don’t want to miss!
