YU-NO: A Girl Who Chants Love at the Bound of This World

Game Overview

YU-NO: A Girl Who Chants Love at the Bound of This World brings one of the most celebrated sci-fi visual novels in gaming history to the PlayStation Vita with fully modernized presentation and streamlined mechanics. The narrative follows Takuya Arima, whose scholar father mysteriously disappears during an expedition.
