Break a clan's curse in painterly JRPG Oreshika: Tainted Bloodlines, out on PS Vita in March

Sony has announced that Alfa System's JRPG Oreshika: Tainted Bloodlines will be out for PS Vita in March.

Europe will get it on March 4th while the US can pick it up the day before on March 3rd.

Oreshika has you trying to break the curse of a clan in ancient Japan that means they rapidly age. Most of them live no longer than two years.

In-game, this means that you're always fighting against the clock as you explore labyrinths, fight demons and loot treasure.

The clan is also cursed with the inability to procreate. However, they can call upon the gods with the Rite of Divine Union to create offspring.

But you have to choose which two gods out of the 100 or so available to use in this process as their different attributes will be passed down to the child.

Two of these gods, Kiri no Mashu and Tonkararin, will only be available to those who purchase Oreshika in the first two weeks of the game's launch.

The last thing to note about the game is that it has a beautiful art style based on traditional brush paintings of the Heian era.

Plus, it retains the voice acting from the original Japanese version of the game released last year.
