Today NIS America revealed at Anime Expo that they are planning on releasing htoL#NiQ: The Firefly Diary in North America and Europe this fall as a digital download. This title is one that many people thought would be picked up, but it is a bit of a surprise they are keeping the name the original name.
For those who haven’t been following the game, htoL#NiQ: The Firefly Diary gives players the task of using the Vita’s touch screen and touch pad to help a girl named Mion travel through dangerous ruins and recover her lost memories. NIS America describes the game as follows:
In the depths of a labyrinthine ruin, a young girl named Mion rises from a deep sleep. Lost, alone, and with no memory of how she got here or where her parents are, she is greeted by two fireflies—one composed entirely of light, and another who lurks among the shadows. By shifting between a world of light and a world of shadows, these two fireflies must work together to recover Mion’s memories and lead her out of the ruins, where voracious shadow beasts, ancient machines, and treacherous traps lie in wait to bar her path. But what secrets do Mion’s lost memories contain? What is the connection between her, the ruins, and the fireflies lighting her escape? The answers may reveal a deeper darkness—one that must be faced from within…
