This game...

Words cannot describe how badly I want to play this. Just look at that art…and the CAST!!! Plus I find it interesting that there is more than one playable protagonist and each one has her own set of routes depending on which one you choose.

Scheduled release date : May 30, 2013

Official Site

Norn9 PV

Norn9 Demo 

Lovely art is done by Teiza, the same artist who did the art for Jyuuza Engi ~Engetsu Sangokuden~ 

OP/ED themes are going to be by Nagi Yanagi and Nobuo Uematsu will be one of the composers for the bgm. I APPROVE. 

More character details can be found here.

Prologue: A young boy, Suzuhara Sorata was on his way home from a school field trip when all of a sudden he hears strange music. Upon hearing that piece of music he suddenly finds himself standing in a completely different time period, where meets a strange girl with pink hair named Koharu. After hearing his story, she takes him by the hand and together they board this strange ship called the Norn. 

You begin the game from Sorata’s point of view, pick your heroine, and from there the POV changes from Sorata to either Koharu, Mikoto, or NanamiDue to some unique circumstances, you’re required to split up and work in groups of two, and as you go deeper into the route the romance begins.

Koharu is probably my least favorite as far as just her character design goes, however, considering the fact that she has Shimono Hiro and Kaji Yuuki as options in her story…yeah, I’m gonna have to do it 8C 

Available routes if you choose to play as Koharu:

Kakeru is a bright and friendly person who is able to think quickly on his feet. His hand at politics and manipulation as well as his skills in tracking and hunting people down make him a frightening person, especially when his sinister side comes out.

The onii-san type. Wise and gentle giant who cares for the younger members of the team, but also has a clumsy side. Tries to resolve things by alternate means other than violence when possible.

As far as looks go, Mikoto probably has the hottest set of guys to choose from. I mean, just LOOK AT THEM.

Blood Type: O

The impulsive, playboy type. It’s hard to really tell what he’s thinking or when he’s being serious or not because he is always running his mouth. Loves to make fun of the heroine. He gets along well with Nanami and Heishi.

No question that Nanami is my favorite protagonist (even her name is awesome!). I just love her design so much *A* and my favorite seiyuu EVER is paired with her JKDSLJLFKSJDLASKA!!!

Remind me again why they aren’t at least bonus routes or something? Especially that middle one HNNNGH I really wanna date him.

 

I haven’t been this excited about a game since Amnesia and I’m quite intrigued at how the story is going to be like. The art is just beautiful, the music is generous on the ears, and those SEIYUUS.

Spring just cannot come fast enough!
