The adventure game brand Lorebard released Pain Pain Go Away! on Steam on May 20. Players take the role of an underground psychotherapist who uses a device called the P2GA to counsel girls carrying deep psychological wounds. When a girl's emotions surge, the game enters Dive Mode, where players must type to cancel trauma words and eventually reach the Final Word that causes the root trauma.
The game features three girls: Fufuka, voiced by Akina Hogen; Kokoromi, voiced by Xueli An; and Rio, voiced by Ai Kohana. All three actresses perform in both Japanese and Chinese, which have full voice acting. English and Simplified Chinese are also supported as text languages. A launch sale offers the game at 960 yen, 20% off the regular 1,200 yen price, for two weeks through June 3.
Lorebard will exhibit Pain Pain Go Away! at BitSummit PUNCH in Kyoto from May 22 to 24. Attendees who try the demo will receive a pocket tissue that unlocks an ARG called Ghost Girl Search Tissue, which connects to the game's world.
