John Pickett, PR Director of MangaGamer, expressed excitement over the opportunity to self-publish titles on Epic Games Store:
We at MangaGamer were incredibly pleased when we learned that Epic Games had started to allow more developers and publishers to self-publish titles on their storefront to share with the vast audience of EGS users.
As the same company that once spearheaded the release of visual novels on Steam and cultivated the still-growing market for visual novels there, our company takes great pride in once again paving the way for visual novels on another mainstream storefront.
Koropokkur is just the beginning of our efforts to see more visual novels made available on EGS, and we plan to continue expanding our offerings there as this year goes on.
About Koropokkur in Love ~ A Little Fairy’s Tale~
Somewhere in Hokkaido lies a small village of fairies, once known to the locals as ‘Koropokkur.’ As times changed, their village prohibited its residents from interacting with the human world and the Koropokkur were long forgotten.
However, a few of these young Koropokkur became fascinated with the human world and gazed upon it through a magic viewing pool. Asirrera, in particular, was enamored with an ancient Koropokkur legend of a young girl who ventured out into the human world, became human through the grace of Kanda’s Kamuy, the local deity, and found love with a human man.
Asirrera summons up her courage to break the village laws and see the human word for herself, using her magic to transform from the size of an apple to human-sized!
Unfortunately, her clumsiness quickly gets the better of her and ruins Satoru’s last ditch efforts to save the maid cafe he runs in Akihabara. Plagued with guilt, she offers to help make amends by staying and working with Satoru to help revive the cafe.
After seeing her plight through the viewing pool, her friends, Cirta and Haruante, leave the village to help. While they’re both supportive of Asirrera, they also seem worried by her lack of urgency in fulfilling her true goal…
