While it is possible to question just how scary “Scary Girl” will be, we shall soon find out when Square Enix releases Scary Girl to the American gaming market. Based on Nathan Jurevicius’ critically acclaimed graphic novel under the same name and developed by the folks at TikGames, Scarygirl is being released on the 18th January through the XBox Live Arcade and the 24th January on the Playstation Network with a PC release to be made at a later date.
So just what is the game above? The series follows the main character Scarygirl who is an abandoned child, has a tentacle arm and dresses like a pirate. After having some bad dreams involving a strange man, she sets out on a quest to discover the meaning of them. They will also be bringing back a number of characters from the graphic novel series including Blister the giant octopus and Bunniguru the kung-fu rabbit, each with their own arsenal of moves to aid Scarygirl on her quest. The world is described by Square Enix as “a wondrous adventure into a distinctive and beautifully bizarre world“.
Personally I have not really followed the graphic novel series before, so I am not very familiar with the series but I am curious to see how this game turns out.
