Sony’s PSP Detective Game Negotiates June Release

Does a game called Okage: Shadow King ring a bell? This PSP game is from the same developer, Zener Works.

First seen at Tokyo Game Show, Diamond and the Sound of a Gunshot is a visual novel where players negotiate tense situations. See how the portraits push each other? It’s more than a dramatic effect. This lets players know how close they are at pushing their negotiations.

Even though it hasn’t gotten much attention, Sony Computer Entertainment Japan will release Diamond and the Sound of a Gunshot in on June 18. There’s little chance that Sony will give this game a retail release, but if Patapon 2 can go digital why can’t this?
