Apparently the upcoming Omega Labyrinth Life is getting a worldwide release! Sadly, the English version is only coming in downloadable format, but that's definitely better than nothing — plus with things the way they are today, you should never say there'll never be a physical release, courtesy of one of the various limited-run boutique publishers these days.
What's quite interesting about this announcement is that D3 Publisher also confirmed the PS4 version will be significantly "toned down" from the Switch edition — to such a degree that it has a different title. The Switch version, which incorporates all the available content (including lewd happy funtimes) is Omega Labyrinth Life, while the PS4 version — which cuts out a lot of the illustrations, "touching" event scenes and something about a rock-paper-scissors minigame — is known as Labyrinth Life.
I'm quite surprised to see this seemingly coming West officially, given the amount of trouble its predecessor Omega Labyrinth Z had with bodies such as the Video Standards Council here in the UK. A cynic would say that this quiet download-only release is intended to bypass any potential outrage — and they may well be right — but it's still a pleasant surprise to see this series finally make it West in an official capacity.
For those unsure as to why you should care about this lewd RPG, note the pedigree behind it: it's developed by Matrix Software who, among other things, have previously given us rather marvellous experiences including The Adventures of Alundra on PS1, Dragon Quest spinoff Torneko: The Last Hope, the 3D remakes of Final Fantasy III, Groove Coaster and plenty more besides. The company was born from former members of Climax Entertainment (Shining in the Darkness, Shining Force, Landstalker, Runabout) and Telenet Japan (Valis, Cosmic Fantasy) so they very much know what they are doing… both in terms of RPGs in general and with cheeky, lewd games!
I believe Play-Asia has an Asian English version of Omega Labyrinth Life available, but there may well be a waiting list to get hold of a copy of that at this point — plus that'll be more expensive than the downloadable release. It's a series I'm interested in checking out, though, particularly as I spoke out strongly against the VSC's decision to ban Omega Labyrinth Z, so I'll have to have a more thorough investigation into my options come release day: August 1.
Regardless: happy boobs!
