Namco Bandai’s Trusty Bell / Eternal Sonata screenies

The game Eternal Sonata (formerly know as Trusty Bell) from Namco Bandai has an interesting story to say the least. The story takes place in a dream world which centers around the piano composer Frederic Chopin.

Chopin succumbed to tuberculosis at the age of 39, and the game revolves around his last three hours of life. Chopin dreamed of a fairy-tale land, in which people with incurable diseases have great magical powers. Chopin meets a young girl named Polka. She has a terminal disease, and her boyfriend Allegretto is searching for ways to convert her magical power into a cure.

The game isn’t for everyone, though the graphics are looking pretty good. Japan will be getting it on June 14 this year with the US and European versions soon after (before the end of the year at the latest). Check out the screens and see if it’s for you.
