Trails from Zero is one of my most-anticipated games of the year, so I was excited to see NISA teasing news for today.

That news turned out to be the reveal of the Limited Edition.

The Trails from Zero Limited Edition is available to pre-order from NISA’s store, and it contains an artbook, 10-track soundtrack selection, a poster, and an acrylic stand, along with the steelbook and collector’s box (and the game, of course).

That sounds pretty good to me for a Limited Edition, so I might go for it. There’s also a plushie and puzzle available to order, too.

I was hoping for a release date so I’ll know how long I have to catch up by finish the Trails in the Sky games, but “Fall 2022” is still all we have. I’d better not wait too long, or I’ll run out of time…

What do you think of the Trails from Zero Limited Edition? When do you think we’ll get a release date?

You might recall that after its initial Early Access launch, the full version of Eternal Radiance came out in December 2020 for PC.

Eternal Radiance is an action RPG about a squire named Celeste who sets out on a journey to reclaim a stolen artifact and prove herself worthy of becoming a knight.

I wrote the story and dialogue, making this one of the biggest game projects I’ve worked on.

Well, now the console version are on their way! Eternal Radiance will be out for the Switch and PS4 tomorrow, January 13.

(The Switch version is also available as a physical copy from 1Print Games with a manual, soundtrack, and keychain.)

It’s exciting to see a game I worked on available on consoles!

So, if you’re interested in Eternal Radiance but have been holding out for the console release, it’s out physically now for the Switch and will hit the digital stores tomorrow.

The Haunted Island, a Frog Detective Game is Silly and Cute

Near the end of 2021, I ended up playing a couple of short games to meet my goal for the year.

One of these was The Haunted Island, a Frog Detective Game, which I got along with its sequel in a bundle.

The Haunted Island is very short. It took me 37 minutes to beat.

It’s also very silly. This is not the sort of game that takes itself seriously at all.

You play a frog detective who is called in to investigate an island that might be haunted. Several animals are on the island, and you’ll need to talk to them to get more information and the items you need to continue. It has a fairly simple adventure game structure – you need an item from a character who wants a different item, so you help someone else to get that item and give it to them.

Most of this revolves around the four items you need to make explosives: toothpaste, wool, gold, and pasta.

Yes, that is the level of ridiculousness you’ll find here. The dialogue is wacky, and it generally just has an absurd atmosphere throughout its entire short run.

It might not have a deep mystery to solve or any serious levels of drama, but I went into The Haunted Island, a Frog Detective Game looking for something silly and funny, and that’s exactly what I got.
