This Friday, an additional gameplay video, “Reception,” is slated for release, promising to dive deeper into the game’s distinctive battle mechanics. This follows the initial unveiling and aims to give players a clearer view of what to expect in terms of gameplay dynamics.
Voices from the Ruins: Star-Studded Voice Cast
The upcoming console iteration of Library of Ruina not only brings the game to new platforms but does so with the added allure of a full Japanese voice cast. Esteemed voice actors such as Ikumi Hasegawa and Shunsuke Takeuchi lend their voices to pivotal characters Angela and Roland, respectively. The release also includes digital bonuses like a soundtrack and a comprehensive 600-page artbook, alongside developer commentary, mirroring the PC version’s offerings.
The Saga Continues: From Lobotomy Corporation to Library of Ruina
Library of Ruina builds on the narrative and world established in Project Moon’s earlier title, Lobotomy Corporation. Players step into the shoes of Roland, a Fixer with unique talents, who finds himself in the Library, working alongside the director Angela. Their quest for the “One Absolute Book” unfolds through a series of encounters with Guests, who, upon their demise within the library’s confines, are transformed into books themselves. This macabre process is central to the game’s storyline and mechanics.
Engaging Gameplay and Strategic Depth
The game distinguishes itself with a blend of compelling dialogue, strategic battle stage selections, and intense battles where fate is often decided by the roll of a dice. This mix of elements aims to deliver an engaging and immersive gameplay experience.
Library of Ruina is slated for a digital release on PlayStation 4 and Nintendo Switch at a suggested retail price of $39.99. The game has been rated M by the ESRB, reflecting its mature themes and content.
