Scream Fest & New Project Update — SHINRAI - Broken Beyond Despair News

With Steam's Scream Fest in full swing now and SHINRAI being featured in it, we wanted to take the opportunity to provide another quick update on our next murder mystery GENBA no Kizuna. In case you haven't seen it yet, the store page for it has already been published, so be sure to check it out in order to get a good idea what it's going to be about, and maybe even add it to your wishlist if you want to get notified the moment it's out!

Speaking of the moment it's out, the release is actually the primary topic we'd like to address here, so let's jump straight into it and get the bad news out of the way first:

If you've seen the previous news post or checked out the store page before, you'll notice that the release date has changed. There's still too much left to do to fully wrap up before the end of the year, so as unfortunate as it may be, the date had to be set to 2024 after all.

The good news is that we are getting closer and closer to the end of the project. Script-wise, we are currently tackling the final chapter, the soundtrack is fully composed, and even when it comes to the major art assets, the vast majority of them is taken care of now!

We're terribly sorry about yet another delay, but we obviously don't want to rush anything on the final stretch and risk the conclusion of the project not being satisfying, so yeah... a little while longer it is.

These aren't the kinda spooky horror news we wanted to share, but we hope you'll understand and grant us a little more of your patience (the amount of which you've shown up till now, we are already deeply grateful for). Believe us, no one's more eager to finally see this project up for sale than us!

Now, before we come to a close, there's one more thing I wanted to share with you. The guys over at Fuwanovel asked us for an interview recently (the first one we've ever given), so if you're curious to learn more about us, how we got started with VN development, our inspirations, some behind-the-scenes info on SHINRAI, some more tidbits about GENBA and much more, you can check it out here.

Well, that's about it! Remember, we're doing weekly updates on our website every Saturday, in case you want to stay up-to-date with development, but we'll also make another announcement post here, once we have something major to share.

Until next time, please take care and, of course, have a very spooky Halloween ~°w°~
