Kotodama: The 7 Mysteries of Fujisawa Gameplay Trailer Released

Earlier in the year PQube Games announced it had formed a partnership with Japanese development studio Art Co. Ltd to develop and publish a brand new type of visual novel game, known as Kotodama: The 7 Mysteries of Fujisawa, and that it would be PQube’s first IP. Well the UK based publisher have now released new details and a gameplay trailer highlight some aspects of the game.

Announced for a Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4 and Windows PC release Kotodama: The 7 Mysteries of Fujisawa will allow players to take control of the power of Kotodama in order to challenge your target to coerce the truth from them. Defeat them in battle by stripping them of their clothes – thereby exposing them, and their lies, to help drive your ongoing investigation of the Academy. Sounds fun doesn’t it; well additional gameplay details can be found below as described by PQube:

Kotodama: The 7 Mysteries of Fujisawa gameplay features a puzzle-battle system alongside a traditional visual novel experience, in order to confront the suspects of Fujisawa Academy.

• Gather clues by talking to the members of Fujisawa Academy. Collecting clues will enable you to challenge the students.
• The more clues you collect, the more you will level the elements in your puzzle battles.
• In battles, line up matches and combos to score against your opponent – filling their ‘Happy Gauge’.
• Fill the gauge completely before your moves are used up to defeat your opponent.
• Filling sections of the gauge will strip a layer of clothes from your opponent and replenish your moves!
• Score big combos to unlock more devastating powers!
• Earn Challenge Points by matching attributes that a character is more susceptible to.
• Spend your Challenge Points to Slime, Feather, Shock or Ice your opponent into giving you more moves!
• Challenge incorrectly and feel the wrath of Hindrance Attacks – a target’s signature move that will make your opponent tougher to beat.
• Strip your target completely naked to win the battle and expose their lies!

In addition to the challenges during the story, players can let the main character enter Fantasize Mode in his bedroom. This mode lets you practise your techniques and unlock alternative sets of underwear for the whole cast!

Kotodama: The 7 Mysteries of Fujisawa is planned to release onto the Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4 and Windows PC (via Steam) in the near future with additional release details to be confirmed at a later date.
