PlayStation 4 Death Match Love Comedy!

A confession means an explosive death!

A school-set supernatural romantic comedy visual novel filled with laughter and madness.

Suddenly caught in this bizarre situation, you are thrown into a school life in which the charming heroines and death are never far apart.

Enjoy a crazy chase, deadly romantic approaches, mountains of nonsense and a school supernatural romantic comedy overflowing with malice and uncanny phenomena, all presented through a polished novel-adventure engine.

The protagonist has been struck by a terrifying curse: whenever someone confesses their love to him, he explodes and dies. Avoid the confessions of approaching heroines while confronting the curses and mysteries swirling through the school.

This popular smartphone title, originally boasting ratings of 4.5 on the App Store and Google Play, has been fully remade for PlayStation 4 with renewed graphics.

What is a novel adventure game?

Adventure games are a category primarily concerned with enjoying adventures and solving mysteries.

A novel game is one form of adventure game, creating its game experience through reading a story.

KEMCO calls its series of games in which the scenario is read approximately three lines at a time and choices change subsequent developments “novel adventure games.”

Sometimes mistakenly described as not really games or as illustrated story presentations, novel adventures have these wonderful qualities:

Even people who do not usually read books can progress through them with surprising ease.

CG illustrations and sound work together with the story to create an exciting experience distinct from novels or manga.

Their concentrated tales of adventure and mystery fully satisfy the desire to play a game.

Love and friendship, curses and darkness

A story game that confronts every aspect of youth.

Are you living an exciting school life—or did you once?

Days filled with laughter alongside your closest friends, boyfriend or girlfriend, and extraordinary moments coloured by small incidents or unreal adventures.

This game explores that page of youth that can be so difficult to obtain even when you long for it, with things turned up somewhat beyond the ordinary.

The protagonist, high-school student Kei Yagi, is suddenly cursed to explode and die if someone confesses love to him.

Can he evade the desperate confessions of heroines whose feelings have run out of control, along with further uncanny phenomena and attacks by monsters, and solve the mystery of the curse called the Three-Person Binding Angel?

The sister work to Raging Loop

The entire scenario was written by amphibian, the writer behind the acclaimed Raging Loop.

This is a hybrid of crazy, slapstick romantic comedy and dark, psychologically unsettling supernatural fiction.

A scenario roughly equivalent to six novels and numerous endings can be enjoyed at leisure on a large screen.

The full remake delivers renewed graphics and substantially enhanced sound for an unusual romantic comedy that amphibian wrote before Raging Loop.

The two works share their world, and some characters and settings carry over. Despite their very different apparent atmospheres, they are deeply connected and form a richly developed fictional world.

A light tone and a hard-edged supernatural school story

As its title suggests, Death Match Love Comedy! is a romantic comedy, and it maintains a comic touch throughout.

For someone cursed to explode at a confession, opportunities to receive one arrive in overwhelming waves. Choose incorrectly and the result is an immediate explosive death, but the light tone lets you enjoy these silly game overs and try again.

As the story advances, you confront difficult issues: serious troubles in relationships, threats to life, terrible curses, and the darkness within yourself and your friends.

Even so, the game continues to be a comedy. The meaning of that promise will surely become clear at its grand finale.

A roller-coaster drama of laughter and madness unfolds on a substantial scale.

Distinctive characters with hidden secrets

Everyone in class 1-B at Misasagi High School who becomes caught in the explosive-confession trouble is a strikingly eccentric individual.

The two principal heroines—a naturally cool girl and a whirlwind of violence—somehow attempt a double confession that begins the incident. Alongside them are a big-sister type, a gentle soul, an intellectual fool and a troublesome boy.

Every one has a strong personality and secrets or darkness hidden beneath it. The protagonist and his family are no exception.

Sometimes laughing together, sometimes meeting explosive deaths together, they weave the unique story of youth that is Death Match Love Comedy! You are sure to grow fond of them all.

TIPS organize the mysteries

What first appears to be a ridiculous incident is actually caused by intertwined conspiracies, personal relationships and supernatural phenomena.

Kei records the various incidents throughout the story in notes that can be read together as TIPS. Use them to organize information and check the story's progress.

A scenario chart for comfortable play

With text equivalent to roughly six novels and so many endings, the scenario chart is a powerful aid.

It accurately diagrams the story's branches so that you do not lose your way, and you can jump back to previously read scenarios whenever you wish.

The chart system praised in Raging Loop has been improved, allowing rereading and retrying choices with a single touch.

Returning from a game over is easy. There is no need to save before every choice or struggle with tables of story flags, removing the usual frustrations of navigating a branching novel adventure.

A connection to Raging Loop's world

Raging Loop tells the story of a young man caught in a murderous ritual in an isolated mountain village and a mysterious looping phenomenon.

Its dark, cruel story, exceptional psychological portrayal and carefully constructed world won high praise in Japan and overseas, with the work expanding from a novel adventure into novels.
