Spike's Rain Code drips onto the Switch

Spike are looking for new hits after the apparent drying up of the Danganronpa well. Classed as a lucid-noir adventure game by the Danganronpa team, this sleuth-em-up will arrive with next spring's showers. In Rain Code, we play Yuma, an amnesiac detective-in-training, and Shinigami, the spirit haunting him, who tackle mysteries in a city plagued by unceasing rain.

To take on the mega corporation behind the mysteries, detectives from around the world, each possessing unique powers, must rise to the challenge of uncovering the truth. With Shinigami by his side, Yuma joins the investigation as a trainee of the detective agency. 

Not riffing off Persona at all (I love the look of the city above, but the "realm" below screams so many other parallel universe JRPGs), players get to enter a realm known as the Mystery Labyrinth, creating a path toward the truth. Once inside, however, the mysteries shrouding the case materialize as gimmicks and traps, lying in wait to consume Yuma. The rules of reality don't apply here: delve into the ever-changing Mystery Labyrinth and get to the heart of the case.

Anyway, we'll see if Spike Chunsoft has another hit on its hands early next year.
