The Grimm Reapress and the Drearytale Monster first launched for PlayStation 5, Switch 2, and Switch on April 30 in Japan. It is from the team behind The Liar Princess and the Blind Prince and The Cruel King and the Great Hero.
Here is an overview of the game, via NIS America:
Step into a hand-drawn fairytale, one book at a time in The Grimm Reapress and the Drearytale Monster. In this world, a magical disease known as Paper Mortis turns people into picture books, and picture books into monsters.
Featuring stunning art and a poignant, tragic tale, The Grimm Reapress and the Drearytale Monster follows Mono, a young girl whose sister contracts this horrible malady. She’ll do whatever it takes to save her sister from an incurable illness—including working with Mär, a monster hell-bent on vengeance. It’ll take nothing less for her to traverse the Libratarium where her sister is kept.
Dive into different storybooks to learn the tales of the girls who became them. You’ll solve puzzles, fight bosses, and do whatever it takes to track down your sister and save her from this incurable disease. Drawn by hand to look just like a picture book, The Grimm Reapress and the Drearytale Monster is one fairytale you won’t want to miss.
