Vita's Blue Reflection reflects back on PS4 with sequel Second Light

Gust's Blue Reflection never got a Vita release outside of Japan, but you can play it on the PS4 if dealing with the troubles of a bunch of amnesiac students and their travels between realities sounds like fun. The gameplay clip shows what we missed out on, and, yes, while Gust's engine was struggling on the Vita toward the end as they ramped up the fidelity on other formats - it would have been good to have the choice to play it portably in English. 

Or, if the first one passed you by, the sequel is on its way on both PS4 and Switch, coming November thanks to Tecmo Koei, with new characters and more secrets to unravel and no such limitations on processing power. 

Blue Reflection: Second Light introduces new students to the mysterious floating academy, searching for clues to find their way back home, with only their names as memories. 

The tormented Uta Komagawa is the first new character, originally seen in the anime Blue Reflection Ray, Uta is quiet and insecure, but upon entering the academy there’s an immediate sense that the other students are wary of her for unknown reasons. 

Joining Uta at the academy is the prophetic Kirara Kuno. While Kirara has indeed lost her memories, she seems to possess an otherworldly ability to predict the future. Will Kirara’s words about the future help reveal the truth behind her past?

The two new students join a cast of characters who look to deepen their bonds while exploring this beautiful yet bizarre new world. While at the academy, the characters can craft tools, cook, go on dates, and develop the school by building new facilities. Once outside the floating academy, the students enter Heartscape, a dangerous place where they search for clues about their past, look for items to craft, and battle monsters as they attempt to discover fragments of lost memories.
