Varlet Launches on Nintendo Switch: FuRyu’s High School RPG Debuts with New Trailer

Varlet, the latest high school RPG from renowned developer FuRyu, has officially launched and is now available on the Nintendo Switch via the Nintendo eShop.

In celebration of the game's release, FuRyu has unveiled a brand new launch trailer, offering fans and newcomers an expanded look at the game's intriguing narrative and innovative gameplay mechanics. Set in the immersive halls of Kousei Academy, Varlet centers around the groundbreaking "Johari" network—a cross-reality, virtual reality system seamlessly integrated into school life.

The Johari app serves as a comprehensive digital tool for students, facilitating everything from routine information searches and online purchases to acting as a platform for social networking and real-time communication with peers.

This advanced technology, however, brings unintended consequences as it fuels a growing desire among students for social approval and attention. As the story unfolds, a chilling urban legend spreads across campus: users who become too obsessed with Johari reportedly vanish, consumed by mysterious occurrences known as "Glitches." According to these rumors, malevolent monsters hidden within Glitches take the place of their victims, navigating the real world undetected.

The protagonist, finding the legend to be all too real, discovers the threat posed by these entities and that several students have already fallen victim. To confront this crisis, players join the Student Support Services (SSS)—a dedicated guild tasked with tackling the academy's enigmatic troubles.

The core gameplay centers on strengthening relationships, guiding friends through adversity, and battling otherworldly monsters to restore peace to Kousei Academy.

However, as players nurture various bonds, they must also navigate complex social dynamics, with choices and closeness to multiple individuals potentially leading to unforeseen consequences. The new launch trailer provides a compelling glimpse at Varlet’s unique blend of narrative-driven gameplay, strategic mechanics, and its atmospheric school setting influenced by the virtual Johari network.

FuRyu, known for its acclaimed works in the RPG genre, continues its tradition of delivering engaging stories with memorable characters and thematic depth. Varlet is now available digitally on the Nintendo eShop for Nintendo Switch.

With its thought-provoking premise, rich character interaction, and distinctive mechanics, the title is poised to capture the attention of RPG fans and Nintendo Switch owners alike.

Stay tuned to official Nintendo news channels for further updates regarding FuRyu’s ongoing support and future announcements surrounding the platform.
