escapeVektor, which recently won Digitally Downloaded’s Australian Game of the Year by reader vote, is finally releasing in Japan.

So it is a big deal for this game to pick up a localisation and publishing deal for the market; hopefully it’s a big success for Nnooo.
The Japanese trailer is also pretty funky, we think:
