FURYU Corporation has announced it will be bringing high school RPG Varlet to PlayStation 5 and Nintendo Switch on August 27. Come check it out!
Welcome within the halls of Kousei Academy, the first school to implement the cross-reality, virtual reality network known as “Johari”, which is used for everything from finding basic information and making purchases to serving as a social networking and messaging app. The app has resulted in a marked increase in users desire for approval and attention amongst peers, and soon an urban legend begins circulating about users disappearing into otherworldly “Glitches” if those desires grow too strong. And worse yet, monsters inhabiting the “Glitches” are said to replace users in the real world leaving everyone none the wiser.
The protagonist soon discovers that this urban legend is very real and some students have already been replaced by monsters, forcing them to take a stand. As a member of the Student Support Services (SSS), a guild dedicated to solving the academy’s troubles, players must guide their friends, strengthen bonds, and fight to protect the school from impending doom. However, navigating these relationships comes with its own challenges – getting too close to multiple people may lead to unexpected consequences.
