New Firefly’s Diary Video Reveals How Nippon Ichi’s "Indie Game" Plays

Firefly’s Diary or htoL#NiQ is a curious title from strategy RPG developer Nippon Ichi Software. Designed by a member of the Disgaea team, Firefly’s Diary is an adventure game where you help Mion, a girl that wakes up alone in the year 9999. Instead of controlling Mion you play as fireflies that guide her through the world.

While the game has a cutesy look too it, it’s filled with traps and shadowy monsters. Mion can’t directly attack monsters either so you’ll have to use objects from the stage to eliminate enemies. Levels also have different gimmicks including using light and shadow elements.

Firefly’s Diary is scheduled to come out on June 19, 2014 for PlayStation Vita.
