Hatoful Boyfriend was a wonderful (although bizarre) text-primarily based visual novel exactly where you play as the only human attending an elite college for birds. Like I stated, quite strange. Luckily for fans of that game, character designer Hato Moa is back with one thing virtually as off-the-wall. Murder by Numbers is a murder mystery game exactly where your cop companion is a robot and you locate clues by solving picross puzzles. Verify it out beneath.
Murder by Numbers appears certainly bonkers. The art style strays away from the Hatoful Boyfriend style but is just as fantastic in its personal way. I’m a enormous sucker for picross games, so seeing it get mashed into a wacky murder mystery visual novel is a dream come accurate. This would be sufficient to sell me on its personal, but the group at Mediatonic shared even extra news these days.
Hatoful Boyfriend took some of its inspiration for Phoenix Wright: Ace Lawyer, 1 of the most effective visual novels ever released. Which tends to make it super cool that Masakazu Sugimori is carrying out the music for Murder by Numbers. Sugimori is the composer behind Ace Lawyer, Ghost Trick, and Viewtiful Joe. So, some of the most effective Capcom games from that era. It is a matchup that I didn’t know I required but I am really excited to see the two creators come with each other.
Murder by Numbers at present has a tentative release date of “Early 2020”. When it does release, it will come to Nintendo Switch and Computer. Do your self a favor and play Hatoful Boyfriend ahead of then. It is a wonderful game.
