The culprit? A strain of parasites that affect mental health called SILENT.
There's a secret organization which combats these SILENTs called FORT.
Now, it's up to Atsuki, a psychic with the ability to read minds and change thoughts, to infiltrate Kisaragi High School in order to stop SILENT from wreaking havoc.
Lux-Pain is a visual novel for the Nintendo DS.
The game is centered around a number of different phases.
The first one is the investigation phase, where you can travel around the city, investigate, and talk to people.
The second phase is The Sigma System, where you have to capture worms that hover around people.
You can also imprint different words onto people to change what they're thinking to try and get new information.
The third phase is Mental World Combat, where you have to tap the SILENT right when they turn from blue to red, in order to finally get rid of them from a person.
About Nintendo DS
The dual-screen, touch-enabled Nintendo DS (2004) became the best-selling handheld of all time, helped by its huge and genre-diverse library. Cartridge-based DS games have held up well physically over 20 years, and complete-in-box copies of the system's biggest sellers (Nintendogs, Pokémon, Mario Kart) remain very accessible for new collectors starting out.
Gamevaro tracks Lux-Pain for Nintendo DS with separate market values for loose, complete-in-box (CIB) and factory-sealed copies, sourced from real eBay sales. Prices also vary by region — PAL, NTSC-U and NTSC-J releases of the same game often sell for different amounts due to print run sizes and regional collector demand.
Adding Lux-Pain to a Gamevaro collection takes seconds — search by title or scan the box barcode, and the app fills in cover art, release details and current pricing automatically. This NDS release dates back to 2009.

Market insights
Rarity & condition

Complete-in-box (CIB) copies typically command a premium over loose cartridges/discs because the original box and manual are more fragile and get discarded or damaged over time — fewer complete sets survive.
