Move over, Puzzle Quest: there's a new ghost in town

We're trying (in vain) to keep early enthusiasm in check around here, but we may have seen the second coming in DS puzzle fusion. Joshikousei Nigeru! Shinrei Puzzle Gakuen (thanks to Siliconera for the title) blends Bejeweled-style puzzles with -- wait for it -- horror.

It's too much. Our poor, weak hearts can't take it.

This new blend appears to follow the story of three young girls (which Google helpfully autotranslates as a "highschool girl threesome") as they check out an old schoolhouse that's rumored to be haunted. Unfortunately for them, it is haunted, and Marie and her two friends are trapped inside with a bevy of angry (and creepy) ghosts. In order to escape, they must -- wait for it -- stack jewels.

This heavenly combo is set for release in Japan in January, and we can only pray that someone, anyone, picks it up for release outside that region. We may just have to import regardless. Famitsu has a few more screenshots, and we've tucked a couple away after the break.
