'Kowloon High-School Chronicle' Comes To PS4 Next Month - Screens & Trailer

by Rainier on Feb. 8, 2022 @ 2:43 p.m. PST

Kowloon High-School Chronicle is a classic PS2-era adventure RPG featuring remastered graphics, classic first-person dungeon exploration, and a unique conversation system.

Combining first person dungeon crawling with visual novel style storytelling, battle your way through hidden chambers and high-school life. Build your party by developing friendships with classmates by day and chase treasure through ancient ruins by night in Kowloon High-School Chronicle.

Playing as the mysterious and aloof Habaki, you must earn the trust and friendship of your classmates to team up, and with their help uncover the school’s mysterious secrets. In the evening, abandon your normal life as a student and take on the guise of treasure hunter. Explore complex ruins solving puzzles, battling creatures and avoiding traps as you search for ancient relics.

Utilising the unique, communication mechanic, choose from varying degrees of emotional intensity to engage with your fellow classmates and navigate life as high school student. Joy, love, anger, sadness and more will determine the tone of your conversations, influencing how other characters will respond to you throughout the game.

While exploring the ruins beneath the school, collect items to craft and solve puzzles that will allow you to clear each dungeon, venture deeper into their labyrinthine tunnels and uncover ancient artefacts. Facing a variety of creatures and puzzles that require a myriad of skills, develop your treasure seeking party by building relationships with your peers during the day.

PQube and Arc System Works are excited to announce that first-person dungeon crawling JRPG Kowloon High-School Chronicle is coming to PS4 on March 18, 2022!

Key Features

  • Deep, Challenging Gameplay: Choose from a myriad of different friends, classmates, and allies and brave the darkest of dungeons in search of adventure and untold wealth. Be sure to build your team with care; the enemies and dungeons will present a true challenge and the wrong teammates may lead you to certain doom.
  • Innovative Conversation System: Express yourself in the story through feelings and actions. Why choose a canned response when you can give a character an angry glare, loving touch, or a bizarre lick? How everyone views you depends on how straight (or insane) you present yourself.
  • Revamped Graphics: Bringing the game firmly into the modern era, the art and graphics have been redone in high definition and now match the beautiful character designs, challenging gameplay and compelling story.

Originally released as Kowloon Youma Gakuen Ki in Japan, Kowloon High-School Chronicle is available for Nintendo Switch, coming to PS4 on March 18, 2022.
