Atlus launched a new trailer for the FuRyu developed RPG The Caligula Effect, coming digitally to PlayStation Vita on May 2 in North America and Europe.

The gameplay shows off the game's unique turn based battle system that requires planning and skill to execute some pretty awesome scenes.

Additionally, the publisher has updated the official website detailing the game's systems and characters. This includes the game's approach to handling the 500+ characters that players can have in their party of 4. With each having a preassigned class, they'll be able to provide support and offensive assistance throughout the game.

The publisher details the game's premise:

Experience a dark story as the Go-Home Club does whatever it takes to escape the digital prison known as Mobius. The crew must defeat a group of evil music producers (known as the Ostinato Musicians) who have been working with μ, and come face-to-face with their own black secrets/desires. Written by Persona series veteran Tadashi Satomi (Persona, Persona 2: Innocent Sin, and Persona 2: Eternal Punishment), players will fight towards freedom as they examine the ugly psychological issues that plague the various characters in the game.

In case you missed it, digital goods are provided to those who purchase the game early, which include DLC and themes.
