unENDing Bloody Call

[Bern-san]

The first otome game made by icingCandy (a branch of Wil), Bloody Call, is getting a PSP version called unENDing Bloody Call due to demand from fans. It was originally a PC game. A new branch of Asgard, Blue Moon, is the one making the PSP version.

Plot:

Spoiler for :

The game takes place in Gladsheim, a city specifically created to make humans live alongside hanki (半綺 / half beauty) — a species which possess better looks and are stronger than humans (they only die with bugais, a special weapon that some hanki are able to use). Hijiri Futaba is only a normal high school student, until one day she came home to find her mother kidnapped. When she was attacked by some hankis later, the twins Reimei and Shirou suddenly saved her and asked her to become their boss.
The twins are the top members of a hanki organization in the city, Freikorps. The night before, their boss had just passed away. His last order was for the twins to get Futaba and her mother to a safe place out of town. Naturally, the twins thought that Futaba is their boss’s daughter. But while their boss is a hanki, Futaba is clearly a human — which they could easily see since hankis have catlike irises, different from humans.
A new boss was needed in order to keep the organization from falling apart, and so the twins wanted Futaba to fill in that role. In order to search for her kidnapped mother, Futaba had to agree to be the new boss. To keep her safe, they brought her to Freikorps’s mansion.
Soon Futaba found out that her mother’s kidnapper was the other hanki organization in the city, NEDE. Different from the peaceful Freikorps, NEDE is involved in human experiments and even murders. After seeing what NEDE does to the people in Gladsheim, Futaba decided that she wanted to do something to stop them while saving her mother at the same time.

I enjoyed the PC game, especially the dark atmosphere. It also had good art (well a couple of CGs needed to be improved), an interesting story where you HAVE to play all the routes to really understand the story (except Wataru's route, he's just a tsundere) and I didn't dislike the heroine (in most of the routes she does something!).
Anyway, new things for the PSP version:
- After story with the conquerable characters
- Parallel story
- Their civilian clothes will have new designs for the after story

I'm glad that Bloody Call had a lot of popularity between otome gamers. It would be cool if someday it gets released in English.
