“Since I first started helping out Sekai Project 4 years ago, my main goal and focus has always been to bring Sekai Project’s output to the console space and communicate with the fans around the world how they experience the wonderful characters and stories from Japan’s finest storytellers.
For me, Sekai Games has been many years in the making, and the support from the fans, as well as the console manufacturers, has been an incredible experience. I am extremely excited to see some of the reactions to the surprises we have in store for the fans.”
The first game launched as part of the initiative is A Magical High School Girl for Switch, which released yesterday. The next will be Alice in Dissonance’s fault launching in November 2018 for PS4 and Switch.
“The story of a princess named Selphine and her Royal Guard Ritona as they make an escape from a brutal assault that’s devastated their homeland of Rughzenhaide comes to the Nintendo Switch!
As the two mysteriously teleport to an unknown forest, surrounded by vegetation not native to the surroundings of Rughzenhaide. The 2 must venture into an unknown land. The atmosphere is thick and heavy and no sign of life can be found, which is particularly unusual for such a lush forest. Sign of life isn’t the only thing missing though. Something is odd about this land – something is amiss – but Selphine and Ritona are too startled to notice the obvious.
Heralded as one of the greatest visual novels of recent times, the fault series has seen incredible success around the world thanks to the incredibly strong cast of female characters and world-building with an incredible attention to detail. Fantasy, science fiction, horror and humor all comes together to form one of the most thrilling stories you’ll ever experience!
With the strong narrative provided by writer munisix and the incredible artwork of artist Konatsu Hare, fault will be one of the most beautiful looking adventures to ever grace the Nintendo Switch and Playstation 4.”
