Hello friends! We are very proud to announce that a release date for Kuroi Tsubasa has finally been set: April 4th, 10AM GMT. It is completely surreal to finally publish this game. Over the last two years so many incredible things have happened. I found new friends online, learned so many new skills, powered through hardships... and the result is finally here. Each and every one of us worked tirelessly to release the very best thing we could do. And quite honestly, this game has turned out better than any of us could ever imagine. And we hope that you all can enjoy our creation as well. To advertise our launch, we have created a website with more infos regarding the story, setting, characters, art and music. If you want to know more, check out our new and fancy site: Kuroi Tsubasa. Aside from that I want to take a moment and talk about the available bonus content. There is a DLC, which includes an in-game Character and model viewer. also a screenshot mode, as well as 4k desktop wallpapers, and finally a special, otherwise unreleased song. The other part is the OST which includes over 60 songs from the game in high quality. If you purchase the OST, you will be allowed to use the songs in your own streams and video production!* Both pieces of DLC are $4.99 each, or $7.99 for a bundle. If you like the game, consider supporting us via the DLC so we can make more cool, fancy, bigger games! Thank you! See you all in two weeks! - BattleProgrammer, lead dev * as long as proper attribution is given

The story

I Just Wanted to Laze Around In the Sun...
Man, why did it come to this? Name's Blackwing, by the way. I'm not exactly sure how I got this name, but hey, it's something, right?
Anyway. I just left... the underground recently. Even as a devil it's all fire and brimstone down there, really not my style. Up here with all the earthlings it's so much nicer.
Just gotta keep the evil inside in check, right? Can't be that hard.
It would be unimaginable if that part of me splits up, manifests as shadow, and causes havoc all over town. Can't happen. Nuh-uh.
...
It happened. Oh dear. Now I have to find someone with enough positive emotions, that can contain my glorious self, and help me defeat the shadow, so I can go back to my dreams of lazyness.
This plain office lady over there... Kureha, was it? She and her newfound friends will help me. Let's play pretend magical girl, kukuku.

The Game

Kuroi Tsubasa is a linear Visual novel with different paths to take. The game features over 120.000 words of dialogue and a whole town to explore! Meet Kureha and her friends on this charming adventure.
A full original soundtrack of over 50 songs, dozens of high quality art pieces, a unique cast, and a heartwarming story await you!

The Cast

Kureha Kurono
The main character of this game. She recently moved to this small town, got a new job at an insurance company and is trying her best to survive in mediocrity. Her big secret is that she is a fan of VTubers and Idols - a fact that she keeps secret, in fear of losing face. Good natured, well mannered, and has a big heart.

Blackwing
The narrator of this game. Originally a devil from "down there", he succeeded in escaping to the human world. However, because he is kind of arrogant, and also a bit... dim, he neglected to keep his evil side in check, which split off of him and is now wreaking havoc. His big dream is to laze around in the sun, on a patch of soft grass.

Puka Amamato
The spunky office lady, with a slightly mischivous streak. Puka loves all things retro, be it old manga or video games. SHe usually can be seen slacking off instead of working properly.

Onizuka Takeshi
This huge and intimidating man has a heart of gold. Recently he managed to fail his college entry exams and now has to get by with some oddjobs. Not many people can see past his rough exterior, but those who do will find a lifelong friend.

Uehasu Minarai
A high school girl. Always ready to play some sports, or buy some snacks at the local supermarket. Always happy and cheerful, she brightens up the day of everybody that meets her. Can usually be seen around the local city park with her friends.

Yamamii
This odd street musician always marches to the beat of his own drum. He recently arrived in town, to follow his dream: making good music, and open the hearts of his listeners. However... he seems to have some troubles connecting with the people of this city.

Rurika Asatsuki
A cool beauty. Her aura practically secretes "High society", but her background is unknown. Currently she's visiting a relative in town, but everything - aside from her slightly goofy streak - is shrouded in mystery.

Tsuyuhito Tanaka
The team leader and "senpai" of Kureha and Puka. Egocentrical and abusive. Do not engage!

Alize
The totes kewl trendy gal from the local supermarket. Besides her weird speech pattern she dreams of leaving this small town to be something great. However, she is surprisngly smart, as is evident by her job as local branch manager at the Kazoku Mart.
