Punch Line

Punch Line is an upcoming Japanese adventure game with puzzle elements and is based on the Punch Line multimedia franchise. The game has the players visiting the heroines’ rooms in search of the “Nandala Gandala” book. While doing this, you can select a point in the room to try and trigger a prank. If your prank is successful and you level up, Chiranosuke will appear and the story will advance. When the player peeks at the heroines’ panties, their “Outbreak Gauge” will increase, and if it reaches its max, the entire human race is destroyed. The story will follow parts and mysteries not seen in the anime, as well as have different endings. According to scenario writer Kotaro Uchikoshi, the game adds 10 episodes over the 12-episode anime and the second half of the game will have entirely different mechanisms than the first half.

synopsis

This game was rated PEGI 16 for frequent sexual themes. It is not suitable for persons under 16 years of age. The game puzzles require Yuta’s disembodied soul to trick the female housemates he lives with, in order to earn soul fragments. He can earn the most soul fragments from tricks which cause the women to fall over, revealing their panties however there is a catch. If Yuta becomes too excited while looking at the panties, his nose erupts in a fountain of blood, and there is a massive explosion which ends all humanity. The player must find the balance between earning the most fragments for tricks and not causing the end of the world. Puzzles can be replayed over and over until you get the combinations right and the story continues. There is also a gallery featuring all the panty scenes for the player to browse purely for fanservice reasons. Violence occurs in video scenes such as where the super hero ‘Strange Juice’ must fend off the terrorists of the Qmay Group. Taking place in typical anime fashion, the moves are often fast paced and over exaggerated with detracts from the realism of the violence. Sexual innuendo and offensive language is used throughout the game and includes the words ‘bastard’, ‘damn you’, ‘god damn it’, ‘piss’ and ‘shit’.
