"From behind closed eyes, you'll die."

At long last, Yomawari 3 has released in Japan! (Technically yesterday if you're on the western end of the globe.) Congratulations to the developers! Fingers crossed for a smooth launch, and hopefully news of an English release soon. Here's the final few countdown images, as well as a few additional posts from the devs. As always: Yomawari is a horror series, so please click said links with care.

Two, one... and zero! )

And that's the round up for this week, running a little late! Anything catch your eye? This will be the first time the west has gotten La Pucelle: Ragnarok, as previously it was a Japan-only re-release for the PSP. Rhapsody has gotten re-released in the west before, but... perhaps we should politely look the other way on that one and hope this time will be better.
