Punch Line tells a fantastic story amidst all the chaos that takes place. It may seem pervy from its advertisements but there is a charming experience here that you will surely remember.
In "Punch Line," players assume the role of a friendly ghost, haunting a house full of ladies and solving puzzles. The poltergeist powers can be leveled-up, and players can cause mischief, but seeing too many panties may lead to humanity's destruction. The game features time travel, detective work, and the chance to prevent Earth's explosion and defeat terrorists, with a different ending from the anime series.

Critic Reviews
Punch Line Review
It's best to think of Punch Line the visual nove/puzzler as a sort of addendum and guidebook to the anime. Fans of the show get to revisit their favourite characters and scenes in a different format, but everyone else might have a little trouble understanding the appeal. The dirty jokes and fan-service are never in short supply. Still, as long as they have the tolerance for it, viewers might happen upon something special. It definitely helps that the characters and voice-work are fantastic. Both work in unison to make every scene work. Oh, and the puzzle elements are nice too. While not deep, they add just enough of a twist to maintain one's interest.
70%Punch Line review – Much more than a joke
Punch Line isn't for everybody, and this port has some issues, but it's a solid VN with a great story and an endearing cast of characters.

PUNCH LINE fails to engage the player in any way, its play and story lifeless.
