Worthplaying: NDS Review – ‘Lux-Pain’
The title starts out promisingly enough, with a backstory that sets the stage for mystery and intrigue. Players take on the role of Atsuki Saijo, a member of the secret task force known as FORT. It is Saijo and his companions’ sworn mission to rid the world of Silent, a mental parasite that feeds on negative energy and then drives its hosts to acts of extreme violence or suicide. FORT’s latest investigation has led them to Kisaragi City, Japan, where a Silent outbreak has already led to a mass suicide and fears that a serial killer may be on the loose. FORT sends in Saijo to infiltrate the town and pose as a high school student in order to gather info.
