I think this game looks really interesting. It looks like a cute game but really dark at the same time.
I hope the game will get localized.

You little bitch-nigga, Stylish-End. I was going to make this thread. And yeah, I'm interested in this one as well. Also, change the title to htoL #NiQ: Hotaru no Nikki. How could you leave out the glorious "htoL #NiQ" part which makes no sense at all?

This game is just another reason why I need a Vita.

Looks like this game is getting a CERO D rating and is going to be more gruesome. It should be interesting to see how this turns out.

Some gameplay

More information/specifics.

Set in the far distant future, htoL#NiQ or Firefly’s Diary follows Mion, an amnesiac girl that wakes up on December 31, 9999. Mion doesn’t know why she’s in some kind of ruins populated with shadowy creatures. You help her escape by controlling a firefly that guides her.

There are two fireflies in Firefly’s Diary one for light and one for shadow, each one has different abilities. The light firefly can make plants grow to open new paths for Mion. The shadow firefly can move through the shadows and use shadow link to move objects.

Mion can interact with objects like this umbrella and other gimmicks in the ruins. However, it looks like many of the areas are literally death traps like this room with spinning blades. The key to moving forward here is going into the shadow world.

Shadows are dangerous and Mion has no usual way to defend herself against them. Controlling the firefly, you can protect Mion by activating different objects in the world. Mion is able to escape a giant shadow when the light firefly leads her and the shadow firefly triggers a gate that stops the shadow.

While exploring the ruins you may find memory fragments that give you a glimpse of someone’s memories. These may give you an idea of what happened in the past and the truth about the Corpse. This elliptical horror is a swirl of plants and children’s corpses. Memory fragments can be found in hard to reach places.

With the game coming in about a week in Japan.
They gave us a little flash game.

The objective is to reach the end.
What happens is that Mion is shot out of a cannon and will constantly roll. Left click will let her jump and holding it will let her float with her umbrella. Avoid the monsters and gaps and reach the end.

edit: 14 tries to beat. So bad.

How the fuck am I supposed to go over that giant shadow at the end? O.O

Edit: Ok, I saw it now. Fk... I was confused because it does something weird when you "land on the borders". xD

Took me a while to do the last 150 meters. :

NISA will bring this game to the west. However as download only.
The release date is somewhere in the fall.

Not liking that download only. Getting this game, probably would make it my 2nd? digital only game.

Digital only huh. I guess I don't mind but I don't like not having the option to buy it physically. Freedom Wars has already been announced as a digital only download in europe smh.
