Compile Heart has a countdown page going. There’s one day and 22 hours left on the countdown. At first I had no idea what that thing in the picture is. It looked like an ’80s version of a Bang & Olufsen on-wall CD player. Now I know. More on that later.

The URL has “np_countdown” in it, so we’re guessing this is for upcoming PS3 role-playing game Neptune.

What’s Neptune? It’s from the makers of Record of Agarest Heart, and it’s coming to the PlayStation 3 this summer. It’s about a videogame console named Neptune. (Is that a nod to the Sega Saturn?) Believe it or not, that thing above is the console, and it transforms into a girl. The game is set in the videogame industry, says the latest issue of Famitsu. Nice.

No word yet on a U.S. release.

[Update: Hit the jump to see more details on the game’s world. There’s worlds inspired by the Wii and Xbox 360!]

Takes place in the fictional world called Geimugyokai (Game industry)

Geimugyokai is split into 4 different worlds with 4 different goddesses

The four worlds are Platetume, Rinbox (360), Lasdition (PS3?), Ruwii (Wii)

The four goddesses are Purple Heart (Neptune), Green Heart, Black Heart, White Heart

Battles are in 3D

Game companies are represented by characters in the game too (Gust, Nippon ichi etc)

Able to summon guardian angels from actual games or from pictures in the PS3 photo album

Neptune and others work together to beat the evil goddess “Majekonnu” (Majikon is the term used to refer to DS flash carts like R4 etc)
