If it’s a graphic or visual novel you are after, then you’ll probably want it to be pretty polished visually. That’s most certainly the case for Kuroi Tsubasa on Xbox, PlayStation and Switch.

Available right this minute for download and play, Kuroi Tsubasa on Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5 and Nintendo Switch is another addition to the visual novel genre.

It comes about via Ratalaika Games (we can’t go a week without a release from them), and Blackwing Gaming.

The main selling point of Kuroi Tsubasa is tat this one has been put together and created by a team of gamers who just happen to have a shared love. That love focuses on the graphic novel scene, with contributing skilled artists and musicians involved.

What to expect in Kuroi Tsubasa on Xbox, PlayStation and Switch?

Kuroi Tsubasa comes with a huge cast of characters, each of whom come with different issues. Designed to be relatable, covering hard hitting issues like fears, trauma, bullying, poverty and more, you’ll probably need to be aware of what this one delivers.

It focuses on Blackwing, the central character, a literal devil, who has escaped from hell because his grandpa told him that the mortal realm is much nicer. However, because he is not that bright (but thinks he is), he neglected to keep his evil powers in check, which manifest as “shadow”, that possesses people and causes havoc.

This shadow can only possess people with emotional problems by promising to fulfil their wishes – which then get twisted and turned dark. To keep further accidents from happening, Blackwing needs a vessel with strong positive emotions, which he finds in the form of a plushie belonging to the office worker Kureha.

From there, Blackwing and her band together on their quest to defeat the shadow and help the people in need (or so Kureha thinks, Blackwing just wants to laze around). During the story the shadow possesses various people, all of whom Kureha and Blackwing need to help.

The solutions are strictly non-combat, as the shadow can only possess people with traumas and deep-seated emotional issues, so by working these out Kureha and Blackwing can cast the shadow out.
