Sekai Project have continued to raise their profile in the growing international visual novel market these past few years, not only enabling western-developed titles to shine but also presenting some high profile Japanese works which might have otherwise remained unavailable to fans. During Sakura-Con this weekend, Sekai Project announced three new visual novel acquisitions and one new manga serialisation.

I am sure you are interested in what Sekai Project have to offer over the coming months, so keep reading below for more information:

Announcement #1
Maitetsu by Lose

Quite possibly the biggest surprise in Sekai Project’s list is this newest title from Lose, a studio who are most known for their loli-oriented visual novel Monobeno. This title was released just yesterday in Japan, and is only available in an 18+ eroge format.

That being said, their previous works have been adaptable into all-ages friendly experiences. Their first title Gothic Delusion had absolutely no erotic content in its main storyline, with such content confined to optional side-episodes. Monobeno also received an all-ages adaptation known as Monobeno: Pure Smile, which is available in Japan on the PlayStation Vita. It is currently unknown if Maitetsu will be available as an 18+ or All-Ages release, and the studio don’t seem to have yet provided further information on this. According to Twitter user @Fred_the_Barber:

Maitetsu takes place in an alternate reality in Japan, where railroads were the most popular form of travel and transportation. But the difference with these railways is that the trains were paired up with humanoid modules called “Railords.” Due to a popular new form of travel, the railroads were practically forgotten about and eventually, railways were discontinued.

Players will assume the role of Sotetsu, a recent high school graduate who, shortly after entering University, decides to return to his adoptive hometown to save it from water pollution caused by the proliferation of factories. By chance, Sotetsu reawakens “Hachiroku,” a recently decommissioned Railord. He becomes her owner and decides to assist her in finding her missing locomotive, the “8620,” while attempting to save his hometown in the process.

Announcement #2
COMPANION by Narrator

The Companion Star Project is a term from the distant past. With the planet’s population rate spiraling out of control and showing no sign of slowing down a small planet was painfully relocated to orbit around the Earth for pioneers to terraform and emigrate to.

Those who stayed behind eventually lost control over the companion star after bloody wars and devastating plagues broke out. Many years have passed and the companion star, now no longer in orbit, will soon bring about the inevitable destruction of Earth. Those who know about Earth’s impending doom attempted to build shelters, but they did not want the surface world to descend into chaos, so they selfishly took their secret with them underground.
 
One man who knows about the end decides to live lavishly…and a girl who will turn his life upside down…their story begins when she steps underneath his umbrella.

Announcement #3
Still, I Miss Her by Applemind

Still, I Miss Her is a dramatic visual novel about boy who has to overcome the odds to save the love of his life.
