This new VN by the Grisaia devs has been already announced through Facebook as aiming for a release on Steam before a domestic Japanese release. 

It's got a crowdfunding campaign live from today, on IndieGogo:

Theme song by Momoi Halko! <3 So of course, I'm backing at the Digital OST tier. :)


Sharin no Kuni

The crowdfunding campaign for localising this one should launch in June 2016, according to the Prefundia.

Frontwing are involved with localising this as well. They must be very busy.

Yomawari: Night Alone (PS Vita, PC)


North America: October 25th 2016

The Vita version comes with a "free copy" of "htoL#NiQ: The Firefly Diary"... but it doesn't appear very free, since the Vita version seems to cost twice as much. :/

The PC version on Steam has a special "Yomawari: Night Alone Pitch Dark Edition" version available for pre-order, which is the same price but comes with digital art book and OST.
