Aksys Games has announced that Mafia-themed otome visual novel Piofiore: Episodio 1926 will be coming West on September 22nd. It’s also shared the contents of the standard and limited editions up for preorder, so scroll below after watching the Japanese trailer and reading the synopsis. The video’s largely in English, so don’t worry about missing anything if you don’t already read the language.

The year is 1926. The port city of Burlone, known as the “backdoor of Europe,” is home to three powerful mafia families vying for control. Liliana Adornato is a church orphan with a hidden past that is inexorably tied to fate of the city and the unique marking on her chest. But when a new threat looms over both Burlone and Liliana, the leaders of the Falzone, Visconti, and Lao-Shu families must come together in a temporary truce to retrieve a stolen relic and restore the balance of power.

Experience the continuation of each character’s story from Piofiore: Fated Memories in five all-new episodes, a thrilling tale of mystery and murder, and an alternative what-if scenario that sheds new light on a familiar face.
