With no build-up or marketing, World’s End Club is available to play on PS5 today.
The ex-Apple Arcade title had been touted for Sony’s system after its PS Store page suddenly appeared late last month. But two weeks later, the title has launched for £19.99/$24.99.
For those who don’t know, this puzzle adventure game was directed by Danganronpa creator Kazutaka Kodaka, and was one of the first titles created by Too Kyo Games, which has since made Master Detective Archives: Rain Code and The Hundred Line: Last Defense Academy.

Here’s the blurb:
“In an elementary school in Tokyo, there’s a group called the Go-Getters Club, made up from oddball kids from all over Japan. Reycho and the other members are somehow different than the other kids around them. Then, one day, during the summer. While on the bus for their class trip, they get into an accident. When they wake up, they’re in a theme park under the sea. Reycho and the others are trapped inside this strange, long-abandoned place. Suddenly, from out of nowhere, a mysterious clown appears and orders them to play a Fate Game! Before any of them can figure out what’s happening, they’re fighting for their very lives. Will they be able to survive and make it out of this weird place?”
Our colleagues at Nintendo Life didn’t love this one, awarding it a 5/10 and describing it as “monotonous”, but are you willing to give it a go on PS5? Let us know below.
