Aksys Games announced today that Collar X Malice, the suspense-filled otome game (interactive fiction) in which a young police officer investigates a brutal terrorist organization inciting fear and violence throughout the city, is now available. Called “a slick, stylish, and sexy thriller” by RPGFan, Collar X Malice features a beautiful set of collectible character cards in the case for the first run of the games. The equally gripping follow up, Collar X Malice -Unlimited-, will launch in August, the first time this title has been published outside of Japan.
A terrorist organization’s brutal attack has left you fitted with a deadly souvenir — a poisonous collar that could end your life at any moment. With the situation spiraling out of control and time running out, five mysterious strangers appear to aid you in your quest for the truth. Who can you trust? Will you be able to save yourself and the soul of Shinjuku from the clutches of oblivion? In a city bound by malice, you are the only hope for salvation!
