Publisher FuRyu and developer Aquria have announced the release of Varlet, their new high-school Japanese RPG.

Varlet is an all-new RPG centered around overcoming the nefarious social app that’s been consuming attention-hungry students into an otherworldly dimension though “Glitches”.

Varlet is finally available on Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 5 and PC (via Steam).

The title is now available for purchase digitally on all storefronts in a Standard Edition for $59.99 and Digital Deluxe Edition, including an 80-page digital artbook, digital album, and the “Monark & The Caligula Effect 2 School Uniform DLC”, for $79.99.

Here’s the rundown on the game, plus a trailer:

Welcome within the halls of Kousei Academy, the first school to implement the cross-reality, virtual reality network known as “Johari”, which is used for everything from finding basic information and making purchases to serving as a social networking and messaging app.

The app has resulted in a marked increase in users’ desire for approval and attention amongst peers, and soon an urban legend begins circulating about users disappearing into otherworldly “Glitches” if those desires grow too strong. And worse yet, monsters inhabiting the “Glitches” are said to replace users in the real world leaving everyone none the wiser.

The protagonist soon discovers that this urban legend is very real and some students have already been replaced by monsters, forcing them to take a stand.

As a member of the Student Support Services (SSS), a guild dedicated to solving the academy’s troubles, players must guide their friends, strengthen bonds, and fight to protect the school from impending doom.

However, navigating these relationships comes with its own challenges – getting too close to multiple people may lead to unexpected consequences.
