GAME OVERVIEW
Lux-Pain is set in historical Kisaragi City, a town plagued by mysteries from small mishaps to murders - with no logical explanation as to why these events occur. It seems “Silent”, a worm born through hate and sadness, has infected humans and forced them to commit atrocious crimes. The hero’s parents, Atsuki, are victims of such crimes. To avenge his parents, Atsuki goes through a dangerous operation to acquire Lux-Pain in his left arm, a power so strong that his left eye turns golden when using it to seek and destroy Silent for good.

QUICK IMPRESSION
Looks to be an investigation game with heavy stylus use. If you like this sort of game (and don't mind the gruesome content) this may be right up your alley. I'll post a full review once I acquire a copy of the game.
If you like the Phoenix Wright series of games this will likely be on your short list of DS games for 2009.
