Legendary Visual Novel Tsukihime: A Piece of Blue Glass Moon Is Coming West for the First Time in 2024 | Push Square
Fans of the Melty Blood fighting game series may be familiar with Tsukihime, the adult visual novel that kickstarted the franchise — complete with an anime adaptation and other media — back in 2000.

However, the remake is still rated 'Z' in Japan — the country's equivalent of 18 or Mature here in the West — due to violent imagery and adult themes. It'll be interesting to see what age ratings it receives overseas.
In terms of gameplay, Tsukihime is very heavy on player choice, with the plot branching out in different ways depending on your actions. Much like visual novels that push romance, your 'route' is often determined by which character you're cosying up with.
