The Caligula Effect 2 coming west this fall

The Caligula Effect 2 was announced for Switch in Japan last week, and there’s now good news for fans in the west. NIS America has announced that it has picked up the game for localization. We’ll be seeing it in the west this fall with English text and Japanese voiceovers.

Here’s an overview of The Caligula Effect 2:

A virtuadoll named Regret has created the world of Redo in order to save people from their past regrets by unknowingly imprisoning them in a simulation. However, this “paradise” is shaken to the core when a virtual idol named χ breaks into Regret’s virtual reality and restores a high school student’s memories of the real world. In order to escape Redo, they re-establish the Go-Home Club, a resistance group that seeks to fight against Regret and her enforcers, the Obbligato Musicians.
