Haiyore! Nyaruko-San: Nafushigatai Game no You na Mono Kagayaku Trapezohedron Limited Box

Nyaruko-san already mashes together Lovecraftian horror and romantic comedy, so naturally the Haiyore! Nyaruko-San: Nafushigatai Game no You na Mono Kagayaku Trapezohedron Limited Box for PlayStation Vita goes just as hard with its extras. This Japanese limited edition includes an original game soundtrack, a Night Gaunt pet bottle cover, and a special card for the companion mobile app.

P. Lovecraft's mythology, tells you exactly how deep this franchise's commitment to cosmic horror comedy runs. The Night Gaunt bottle cover is the kind of merchandise that shouldn't work but absolutely does.

Taking a creature from Lovecraft's fiction and turning it into a functional beverage accessory captures Nyaruko-san's entire identity in a single collectible. The original soundtrack preserves the game's audio in physical form, and for a series known for its energetic opening themes and comedic timing, that's music worth owning. The special card for the companion Chaos app connects this physical release to the broader Nyaruko-san ecosystem in a way that felt forward-thinking for 2013.

This limited box is a niche within a niche. A collector's edition for a game based on a comedy anime that parodies Lovecraft, released exclusively in Japan for a handheld that was already fighting for market share. That layered obscurity is precisely what makes it interesting to collectors.

Finding one in the wild means you've reached a level of collecting that most people don't even know exists.
