Nippon Ichi–the studio most known for strategy games like Disgaea , and crazy Japanese RPGs like the Atelier Iris series–is trying their hand at horror. Only released in Japan, their flagship horror series called Hayarigami is kind of like a dark take on Professor Layton. It tasks you with using logic to solve puzzles in supernatural cases. If you remember Kogure, the downloadable character in Disgaea 3 , that is the protagonist of the Hayarigami series.
A new chapter in the series will be coing out soon. Called Shin Hayarigami , the game will come out for the PlayStation 3 and the PlayStation Vita in Japanese territories on August 7 th . Once again, anyone with a Japanese PSN points card can download the game in our region no problem… well provided that they can speak Japanese. Hopefully, we will finally see Hayarigami brought over for a western release, especially with the success of titles like Professor Layton, Phoenix Wright, Zero Escape, and Dangonronpa .
