JAST has announced that their next Nitro Origin visual novel, Mojika: Truth Rears It’s Ugly Head, will be launching in February 2025. The story of Mojika: Truth Rears It’s Ugly Head is about bullying, revenge, and the thoughts we hide deep inside. A very ugly boy who has the power to read minds is pushed too far by the girls who bully him, and decides to use his ability to enact revenge.
Here is more about the story from the press release:
Tanezaki Suteru is exceptionally unattractive; comparing him to an ugly duckling would insult ducks everywhere. Bullied and harassed, he has become an introvert. Yet, Tanezaki possesses a unique ability, “Wordsight”: by looking at someone’s face within 120 centimeters, he can see their thoughts as words around their head. This gift reveals abusive thoughts, dark secrets, and white lies, leading him to often avoid eye contact to escape the harsh thoughts of others.
His life takes a turn when his crush cruelly pranks him by feigning a confession of love, reinforcing his perception as an object of ridicule. This event drives Tanezaki to use his power against the five girls who tormented him. Each route in the story reveals the twisted personalities of these bullies, masked by their outward charm and deceit.
What revenge can one boy wreck with the power to peer into your mind, to see through your lies and drag your ugly truths to light?
You can pre-order the game in JAST Store for a mere $22.49, this includes a 10% discount. You can also wishlist the game on Steam if you would rather go that route.
