It has been nearly a year since PQube Games announced that they had acquired the publishing rights to KEMCO’s horror themed visual novel Death Match Love Comedy, but today its western release date was announced alongside availability on platforms.
Death Match Love Comedy will launch on the 19th February 2026 for Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S and Windows PC via Steam. A physical version will also be released for the Nintendo Switch and PlayStation 5, with physical pre-orders becoming available at retailers in the coming weeks. Death Match Love Comedy can be considered a romantic comedy visual novel with horror themed elements that features multiple endings and different routes to take, thus offering plenty of replayability.
About: In this strange world a curse can have disastrous effects, and our main protagonist Kei has been afflicted with just that – a curse which causes him to explode if confessed to. Now he must uncover who cursed him and why, and with the help of his friends, he navigates a whole unfamiliar realm of the unknown.
As a fresh-faced high schooler there’s nothing worse than not being able to receive confessions of love, but no matter what happens Kei will always have his trusty sense of humour at his side, and with it any horrific situation can be overcome.
Key Features:
Map It Out: Multiple routes and endings can be navigated easily through the chart system which allows you to pick up from various points along any route you’ve travelled.
Confession Time: A special confession warning light appears when the time for love confessions looms near, helping you avoid destruction (or accept it to collect all the bad endings!).
The Popular Kid: With all sorts of strange happenings and encounters with curious characters, at least Kei isn’t alone in this rollercoaster ride. From girls fighting over him, to classmates fighting alongside him, Kei’s making some unforgettable high school memories.
Sister Universe: Loved “Raging Loop”? Then you’ll love this. At first glance it may seem like completely different works, but these visual novels are deeply connected sister works by scenario writer amphibian.
