G-MODE and Plus81 announced visual novel Shinjuku Soumei has been delayed to April 2024 for PC via Steam. Originally, the game was supposed to release in February 2024.
G-MODE revealed Shinjuku Soumei this past August after a tease about a new joint project. Just three months later in November, a February 2024 release window was decided without a specific date. With February now underway, G-MODE seemingly determined that more quality improvements were necessary.
