    Story

    What tied me to this world…
    1998, winter.
    I was just a regular student until another world was born in me.
    Like softly falling snow, it blanketed and began to bury my everyday life.
    It was only then that I realized…
    That there were certain things in my life that never changed.
    The same familiar scenery.
    The warmth of the one I loved, who filled me with a joy I never noticed.

    Their existence tied me to this world.

    It was when I first started to want these bonds, to want that special someone, that time began to pass, and sunlight caused the season to really shine.
    When it did, which world was I standing in, and who was holding my hand?

    Tensei Game

    Any and developer ArtePiazza have announced Tensei Game, a new sugoroku-style game advised by Dragon Quest creator Yuji Horii and BLUELOCK creator Muneyuki Kaneshiro. Tensei Game will launch in 2026 for Nintendo Switch via the Nintendo eShop in Japan, and it will only be playable in Japan.

    Tensei Game focuses on the themes of reincarnation, karma, and fate. Players compete to “reincarnate” by sabotaging each other. As players repeatedly reincarnate, they will use karma to impede and betray other players. It’s a game designed to “ruin your friendships,” as the closer someone gets to victory, the more their friendships will be tested or even fall apart. The game’s setting is “Rinnekai,” a dark fantasy world in the afterlife where players encounter characters that will aid them in this realm. Currently, Any is considering a multimedia approach for Tensei Game, including anime, merchandise, and content on TikTok.

    The staff of the new project includes:

    • Planning and Production: Any
    • Advisor: Yuji Horii
    • Original Concept: Muneyuki Kaneshiro
    • Game Director: Ayaka Sato
    • Character Designer: Shintarou Majima
    • Project Director: Koyakky (YouTuber, Ikushimaru.com)
    • IP Commerce Strategy and Service Provider: SUPER STUDIO
    • Development and Publishing: ArtePiazza

    Kodansha initially began serializing BLUELOCK in 2018. Muneyuki Kaneshiro and Yūsuke Nomura’s series focuses on the Japanese Football (Soccer) Team trying to become the best in the world after finishing sixteenth in the 2018 World Cup. The anime adaptation is available on Crunchyroll, and the manga is available on Kodansha’s website.

    Yuki Onna

    NOROI KAGO the Grudged Domain Yuki Onna 1

    The “Yuki Onna” or snow woman moves quickly and glides with barely a sound. Make sure you listen carefully or she’ll appear when you least expect it! When Yuki Onna finds you, she spits out a blizzard which causes the player to be frozen in ice. Take care to watch the floors too, if they’re frozen by Yuki Onna, you’re likely to slip around and be caught more easily.

    Mine

    NOROI KAGO the Grudged Domain Mine 1
    NOROI KAGO the Grudged Domain Mine 2

    The mine was once a site where silver ore was excavated with vigour. Back in those days, silver was highly valued by those in power and it would take several hours to traverse through all of the tunnels.

    Many workers were employed to dig through this maze of large tunnels. It was also difficult to get to the mines from the nearest village due to its rugged surroundings coupled with heavy snowfall. It was common for workers of the mine to sleep in a bare bones rest area in the tunnels, forced to work everyday without getting enough sleep. As a result, it was common for people to lose their lives due to accidents caused by human error.

    The site grew to be revered as a mine that “once you enter, you never leave.”

    SAEKO Giantess Dating Sim

    HYPER REAL and SAFE HAVN STUDIO announced SAEKO: Giantess Dating Sim releases on May 29 for PC via DLsite, Steam, and Stove. The game will feature English, Japanese, Simplified Chinese, and Traditional Chinese language options at launch.

    Lastly, here’s an overview of SAEKO: Giantess Dating Sim, via the official Steam page:

    You opened your eyes to find a giant girl looking down at you…

    SAEKO: Giantess Dating Sim is an adventure game set in 2000s Japan about the lives of Saeko, a girl with mysterious abilities, and the little people she has shrunk to the size of her thumb. Experience Saeko’s and the little people’s fates in the day and at night, through two separate game systems with different art styles.

    You are Rin, the latest addition to the little people. Under Saeko’s protection, you spend your days in her desk drawer together with the other little people.

    But don’t let your guard down. Saeko has some…interesting hobbies, to say the least.

    Features 

        • Stunning and unique visuals drawn in two different styles of pixel art
        • A world filled with brutal allure inspired by many strange tales, beginning with Fueti Shizue’s work
        • An original game system which forces players to make difficult choices and live with the consequences
        • A soundtrack heavily influenced by future garage and breakcore, composed by the developer himself
        • The deepest journey into a developer’s proclivities in indie game history

    Game System

    Saeko has entrusted you with the role of supervisor.

    In the day, you distribute items to the little people and interact with them, keeping the group together. However, you are no ordinary supervisor.

    Each little person has two stats: Health and Appeal. These stats determine whether they will live or die. Give items to the little people in the drawer to manage their stats and make a certain…wish…of Saeko’s come true.

    At night, you come out of the drawer and become Saeko’s confidante. Listen to anything she has to say and reply with a “Yes” or “No” as appropriate.

    But be careful. Human life has much less weight to it when you are only the size of a thumb.

    If you give the wrong answer, you’ll soon find yourself meeting a bad end.

    How long can you keep up your role as the supervisor? How many more days can you survive? And when you find yourself in a position to sway their destinies, who will you decide to save?

    In Falsus

    Developer lowiro has revealed In Falsus, a new visual novel-style rhythm game releasing in early 2026 for PC via Steam. Players can expect a “tale of lies and truth within a familiar yet far away modern world” with music gameplay that players expect in rhythm games.

    In Falsus will feature more than 70 songs, including more than 40 originals arriving on release and produced by composers from Japan’s indie music scene. At launch, the game will feature English, Japanese, and Chinese language options.

    Lastly, here’s an overview of the the new game from lowiro:

    A new rhythm game title tying captivating music gameplay to a tale of lies and truth within a familiar yet far away modern world.

    In Falsus is a visual novel-styled rhythm game, bringing a youthful narrative shaped by questions of purpose and existence. The tale spans across five interconnected perspectives, told beside immersive music rhythm gameplay and an additional system that crystalizes emotion and memory.

    The Sound of In Falsus

    In Falsus has a complex and atmospheric soundscape, focusing predominantly on electronic music produced by composers at the forefront of Japan’s independent music scene.

    The game will release with over 70 songs. More than 40 of these are entirely original—composed by many artists, across many genres, including many not before seen in lowiro’s first title, Arcaea.

    World Setting

    In Falsus is set in a near-future world and follows the perspectives of multiple protagonists: 5 troubled high school girls born under bleak circumstances, and bound around their necks by mysterious collars. In their world, all people wear these devices for unspoken reasons, but they create a common ground for everyone: by displaying a person’s emotions, and their deceit. At the start of the tale, the 5 girls are each compelled to join a strange organization, but what seemed to be at most an unusual scheme quickly takes a stark turn.

    It is an adventure examining fate, the future, and the heart. Connection means everything, and in one’s will there is power. These themes are fully realized through the visual direction of In Falsus. A captivating blend of background, character, and scenario illustrations breathe life into this new world.

    Characters

    Through its visual novel-styled narrative design, In Falsus trails the paths of five protagonists. Each of them—harboring their own loves, fears, and desires—have individual paths that can be selected and played through freely, all of them intertwining to create a complex web of happiness, surprising turns, and deeply emotional moments.

    Additionally, In Falsus will feature full Japanese voice acting, marking a defining milestone for lowiro.

        • Mei Alder (voiced by Ran Haruka
        • Ayame Takatsuki (voiced by ???)
