Shall We Date? Eternal Vows (mobile)


The otome game "Nise No Chigiri" from Otomate is out in English on mobile under the name of "Shall We Date? Eternal Vows". It's a "free to start, pay per route" story.

The heroine is an ordinary student. One day, she finds herself got thrown back in time to an old era, about 500 years before, known as the “Warring States” period. She meets ninjas who are fighting and risking their lives in major battles. A bitter-sweet story of love beyond time found between the heroine and the ninjas is now about to begin!!

Yomawari: Night Alone (PC)


This Nippon Ichi horror game was previously only announced for Vita, but has turned up with an ESRB rating (of Teen) for PC as well, leading people to believe it'll get a PC release too.

Rating Summary: This is an adventure game in which players assume the role of a young heroine looking for her missing sister and dog in a haunted town. From a 3/4 overhead perspective, players can explore the town, avoid evil spirits, and collect items to put spirits to rest. The game contains dark thematic elements (e.g., bloody corpses, references to suicide and murder) and depictions of violence: a dog hit by a truck; a girl run down by a train; a girl attacked and killed by ghostly apparitions. Stylized blood- splatter effects occur when players are killed; some areas depict blood stains on the ground.

Phantom Brave (PC)


Nippon Ichi are releasing Phantom Brave on PC. This version will be  Release window: July 2016.

Steam: http://store.steampowered.com/app/409870/

Personally I think they should port some of their games which haven't already been re-released several times, for example (read: especially) Makai Kingdom.

Attack On Titan Wings of Freedom (PS3, PS Vita, PS4)

A.O.T. Wings of Freedom (PS3, PS Vita, PS4)

Release: 26th August 2016. 

The upcoming Attack On Titan game is going to be called "A.O.T" when it comes out in Europe due to things getting messy concerning ownership of the name "Attack On Titan".

Yeah, the PS3 is still getting one or two games! There's a special edition for the PS4 version, comes with, OST, art book, DLC, a bunch of stuff, and a towel, because when titans attack, eat your neighbours and drop a house on your mum, you need to... know where your towel is? :)

The Orchard of Stray Sheep (PC - Steam Greenlight)


I don't know why Sekai Project bother with Greenlight, maybe it's just to flood the place with VNs. I mean, they already have tons of games up, if they want to put a new game on Steam, they don't need to go through Greenlight at all. I think they're misusing it for self-promotion purposes.

Anyway, this was originally known as Mayoi Hitsuji no Kajuen, and is an all-ages VN from 2014.
