Theresia piles on the style

We remarked yesterday how Theresia isn't the first survival horror title on the DS, but it's definitely shaping up to be the most eye-catching. We find the occasional use of color (usually red, in Theresia's case) nicely accentuates the largely black-and-white surreal visuals, making for a striking combination. You can see more in our new gallery for the game.

If you haven't already heard, this Arc System Works/Workjam collaboration is getting localized for North America this October by Aksys. Hopefully we'll be seeing some English screens soon, because we're looking forward to sinking our teeth into what sounds like a fairly highbrow plot!

Horror, survival, and ... incest? Theresia localization announced

Aksys has announced that it will be localizing Theresia, a title jointly developed by Workjam and Arc System Works, for a U.S. release in October. Not to blow our own trumpet or anything, but we prophetic DS Fanboy blogger JC Fletcher totally called this move almost five months ago.

The game will join a small but growing group of DS survival horror titles played from the first-person perspective, and incorporates many staple features of the genre: corridor exploration, the collecting of clues, and deadly traps.

It also appears to have a fairly dark storyline, including ... unusual family relationships. Aksys Associate Marketing Manager Harry Chang notes that the female protagonist "loves her mom... a lot". Could this be a reference to something incestuous? We've consulted resident psychic JC for another prediction, and used our "incest" tag, just in case.

Saburo Jinguji creators bring another adventure franchise to DS

WorkJam, best known for the Detective Saburo Jinguji franchise, the DS iteration of which is being localized as Jake Hunter: Detective Chronicles, is back on the DS with another adventure series. This time, it's Theresia, a first-person series that has until now been exclusive to cell phones. The new DS game is called Theresia - Dear Emile and seems to involve an amnesiac woman who wakes up in a mysterious prison.

The game will contain a new story rather than being a port of a previous game, and uses an exclusive (of course!) touchscreen control system. Players will wander around a prison facility in full 3D and examine for clues in order to solve the mystery of who you are and what the creepy prison is about.

Being that this is an Arc System Works game, it's entirely possible that we could see a localized version of Theresia via Aksys.
