After previously teasing a vague Summer 2018 release, PQube has announced the Punch Line release date is quite literally at Summer’s end. This truly unique visual novel will be released on August 31, 2018 in Europe. North American players will have to wait until September 25, 2018.
Based off the anime series of the same name, Punch Line centers around high schooler Yuta Iridatsu. He seems to be a normal guy, However, after being hit by a bus that was hijacked, Yuta becomes a ghost! Yes, it’s all pretty wild.
What soon presents itself as an opportunity for unlimited glances at women in various states of dress soon turns disastrous. Should Yuta get a peek at a woman’s underwear, he’ll faint, an asteroid will hit Earth, and life as we know it will end. Thankfully, he has the ability to travel back in time to the moments before his hopefully inadvertent peeping. He’ll have to avoid such scenes as he tries to get back to his body and aid the people he knows.
Some of the key features in Punch Line include:
- Be a friendly ghost – Haunt a house full of girls while you solve puzzles, play tricks and cause trouble
- An immersive adventure – Visual Novel elements mixed with 3D environments
- Beware your weakness – See too many panties and you will destroy humanity
- From the creators of Zero Escape – Written by Kotaro Uchikoshi, of the Zero Escape Trilogy
- Live the anime – Based on the critically acclaimed anime, now on Crunchyroll
In addition to the standard retail edition, there will also be a Punch Line limited edition. This includes a 128-page art book, in addition to unique packaging. But the best version may be the Cheermancy Edition, which comes with a glorious pigeon mask.
