Set in the year 2,206, players take on the role of an Earth entry inspector, tasked with discerning the true intentions of visiting aliens through dialogue. It is scheduled for a 2026 release on Steam.

Information was also released for the tile-based simulation RPG 'Demon's Knight Fever.' The game features a 'Minion Overwork System' as its core mechanic, where players sacrifice allies in battle, creating a progression structure where the legion grows stronger as more units perish. It is slated for a 2026 release on PS5, Nintendo Switch, and Steam.
