That's right, at long last, the store page for our next murder mystery visual novel is finally live! You can check out the trailer, a bunch of new screenshots and an updated feature list which now more closely reflects what you can expect in the final product.
Currently, we're still busy wrapping up the penultimate chapter, so we don't feel confident enough to throw out an exact release date yet (even though we do have something in mind), but as you can see on its store page, we are definitely intending to release GENBA no Kizuna later this year, so be sure to add it to your wishlists to get informed when it becomes available!
For more details on our plans, you can check out this blog post on our website. We also keep posting weekly updates over there regarding the development process.
It's honestly been an unexpectedly long development journey and we're truly sorry for the wait. There are many reasons as to why it's been taking so long, from private life shenanigans to this project becoming a whole lot bigger than it was initially intended to be (it's waaay longer than SHINRAI now).
We will delve into the specifics once it's finally released. In the meantime, we'd like to thank you for your patience as well as your continued support and ask you to hold out just a little longer! Hopefully, you're still as excited to tackle this new murder case as we are to finally present it to you!
Now, since we've just finished this as well, we're gonna share our New Year's artwork with you guys here too, featuring none other than Shiku Jura, one of GENBA's four suspects:
We hope you've had an enjoyable and promising start into 2023 thus far and wish you only the best for the months ahead! Let's all work real hard to make this a very productive and successful year!

On October 30, 2010, a group of ten friends gathers at a secluded mountain resort to spend the night of All Hallows' Eve together. However...
What was originally intended to be a fun little Halloween party quickly turns into an actual night of horrors. When one of the attendees is found dead, fear and uncertainty spread among the group as the friends realize they are trapped with a murderer.
As they try to unveil the identity of the killer, they slowly begin to learn to what atrocities despair can drive a human being... once its trust has been broken.
