Idea Factory International announced that the otome visual novel My Next Life As a Villainess: All Routes Lead to Doom! -Pirates of the Disturbance- will make its debut in the West this winter. Set to be released on Nintendo Switch in both physical and digital formats, the game will feature Japanese voices along with English subtitles.
Both the Standard and Limited Edition versions of the game are now available for wishlist. The standard edition is priced at USD $49.99, while details regarding the price and included the content of the Limited Edition are yet to be disclosed.
Initially launched in Japan on December 23, 2021, My Next Life As a Villainess: All Routes Lead to Doom! -Pirates of the Disturbance- presents a unique blend of romantic comedy and adventure. The game revolves around the main character Catarina Claes, a young noblewoman with memories of her previous life as a high school student.
Upon reincarnation into the world of the otome game Fortune Lover, she finds herself cast in the role of the villainess, with the only foreseeable outcomes being exile or death. Nonetheless, Catarina successfully averts these doom flags and progresses to spring break.
The game’s story takes an unexpected turn when Catarina and her adopted brother, Keith, board the state-of-the-art luxury liner Vinculum on their maiden voyage during their Academy break. A surprise reunion with friends aboard the ship soon turns sour when pirates seize control of the liner, holding all its passengers hostage.
Catarina finds this plot twist eerily familiar, and it gradually dawns on her that she might be living out a scrapped doom ending from a Fortune Lover fanbook. As the tension mounts, the pressing question becomes whether Catarina and her friends will successfully navigate this perilous situation and safely return to Sorcier.
