I’m not sure if a game as sad, sharp, and real-life-serious as the critically-acclaimed Actual Sunlight has ever been released on a major console, but I have no doubt that the PS Vita is exactly where it belongs. With strong and memorable writing, a classic Japanese RPG style, and full-screen CG artwork, I’m hopeful that Actual Sunlight will feel right at home.
I love PS Vita, and this was the platform that I wanted to bring it to more than anything.
Plus, with a tweaked interface that allows for greater clarity on interactions, as well as larger and much smoother text for an optimal reading experience on the go, this is the best version of Actual Sunlight yet!
Here are a few cool facts about the game:
- Fully set in Toronto, Canada, with environments modeled after real-life places. And references galore!
- Was originally made in RPG Maker VX ACE, and now reconstructed in Unity 5!
- Perhaps the first game to be for 18+ players — not because of sex or violence, but because of being about regular, unhappy adult life!
If you’re a fan of the dramatic, narrative-driven adventures and visual novels that have become a hallmark of PS Vita, I hope you’ll take a moment to check out this deeply personal and emotionally impactful game about love, depression, and the corporation.
I hope you will think it is something special.
Wow! Wanting to know about the story makes me feel pretty excited!
Looking forward to this definitly.
Vita FTW! =D
Alright, let’s get not too far off topic, but can we get a little Vita / PSP love going? Here’s my Top 5 Vita / PSP games of ALL TIME:
1. Valkyria Chronicles 2
2. VLR
3. P4 Golden
4. Jeanne d’Arc
5. Danganronpa
Oh, and Actual Sunlight. ;)
Jeanne d’Arc ,that’s a gem.
Will try the Valkyria chronicles 3…. the fansub is almost finishd and the best game of the series.
P4 Golden I got the game in the beginning of July I haven’t put down my Vita since.
Considering the first half of my username is Makai from the Makai Senki Disgaea series I won’t clutter up my list with Disgaea 1-4 but just mentioning them here. :P Or the game they released PSP only…. Or Makai Kingdoms… or the Operation Prinny games… Anyway getting on with it.
PSP:
1. Powerstone Collection
2. Patapon series… why not? Just great when you get into the zone.
3. Ys games
4. Hammering Hero
5. God of War games
Honorable mention to PS1 games and Shmups because… dang that system has so many games.
PS Vita
1. Pixel Junk games
2. Sound Shapes
3. Games made by Housemarque
4. PVZ (I mean I did platinum the game after playing it on Mobile and PC like crazy)
5. Tales of Hearts R
I’m sorry but dang it I had to cheat. There’s like 200 must have games between those 2 systems, so… I’m not gonna go off and list just a game, when there are companies and series with games worth buying. If I put Pixel Junk Monsters, is it fair to leave out Pixel Junk Shooter Ultimate? Then mini’s titles like Monsters “probably” stole my Princess, Where’s My Heart, Who’s That Flying…
I can’t make a definitive list!
