Kadokawa Games announced over the weekend The Lost Child, the new turn-based dungeon crawler from El Shaddai director Takeyasu Sawaki, is set to be released in Japan on August 24 for the PlayStation 4 and PlayStation Vita. No details of a Western localization have been announced.
From the website, we can get some details about the overall story. Hayato Ibuki is a magazine writer who, after investigating a story about someone who killed themselves in front of a train, is shoved onto the train tracks himself. Before he can be killed, a woman named Barcia saves him at the very last moment. He is then presented with Pandora's Box that contains a demon gun that can capture and manipulate demons called Astrals - fallen angels, demons, and fallen angels that are forced to perform the owner's bidding.
Hayato will soon meet a girl named Rua who calls herself an angel as they investigate other matters as they look to reunite with Barcia.
Among other details, the gameplay will feature exploration, information gathering, turn-based combat, and much more.
