Nippon Ichi Software’s cute yet tragic action-adventure title The Liar Princess and the Blind Prince is now available worldwide for PS4 and Nintendo Switch. Taking place from a side-scrolling perspective, the title features a beautiful 2D art style. Check it out in the video below, though be warned that there are a few sad bits.

The Liar Princess and the Blind Prince tells the story of a lonely wolf. One day, the wolf accidentally attacks a prince, who is rendered blind by the incident. To atone for its action, the wolf undertakes a curse to assume the form of a young princess. She then guides the blind prince through the forest in an attempt to restore his eyesight.

Akin to the escort-style puzzles of Dokuro, The Liar Princess and the Blind Prince has the player escorting the prince through dangerous paths. To combat some of the wild beasts in the forest, the princess can turn into her wolf form. Of course, how things will end up remains to be seen, given the princess’ true nature.

Nippon Ichi Software’s The Liar Princess and The Blind Prince was quite the unorthodox title when we first saw it in January. However, we have now finally got some more gameplay footage, along with story set-up for what’s going on. And it’s all tied together in a fairy-tale-esque art-style that’s both whimsical and kind of sad. Check it out below.

The story sees two “lonely hearts”, a prince who’s blind and a princess who can turn into a wolf, working together. The princess guides the prince through many dangers in order to restore his sight. Along with moving past traps and solving puzzles, the princess must protect the prince from savage wildlife.

What’s interesting is that unlike Game Arts’ Dokuro, the player must transform back into a princess to guide the prince. That’s an interesting bit of nuance, especially when deciding the right time to shift between princess and wolf form. The Liar Princess and The Blind Prince will release on February 12th, 2019 for Nintendo Switch and PS4 in the West.
