Mugen Souls Z (PC)

Ghostlight have announced that they will be porting Mugen Souls Z to PC, for release on Steam. It's an RPG by Compile Heart.


It's going to be based on the Western PS3 version of the game, so people who were asking whether this release will not contain the censorship in that version... no, it's going to be directly based on that PS3 version.

Supipara - Chapter 1 Spring Has Come! (PC)

This is the first part of "Supipara - Alice The Magical Conductor", by minori - who developed "ef - a fairy tale of the two", "Wind ~ A Breath of Heart", and eden*.

It will be released in chapters - standalone episodes, the first of which comes out on 30th July 2016.


According to this page on the website of publisher MangaGamer, the popularity of sales of this title and eden* combined will dictate whether later episodes are released. As it states they are standalone, don't let that uncertainty put you off getting the first one.
