14/04/2020 Leave a comment
In a rather surprising, and almost miss able, announcement Degica Games have announced that Yumeutsutsu Re:Master and its sequel Yumeutsutsu Re:After will be released digitally onto the Nintendo Switch and STEAM later this month.
Specifically on the 23rd April 2020 the Windows PC versions of Yumeutsutsu Re:Master and Yumeutsutsu Re:After will be updated to support English (and Chinese) text localisation while the Nintendo Switch versions of both games will be released digitally and available to purchase from the Nintendo eShop on the 23rd April 2020.
Synopsis: Yumeutsutsu Re:Master is a girls-love adventure game set in a small japanese game studio.
The story is set in the town of Koenji, not far from the imperial capital of Tokyo, where a small game studio called Eureka Soft has set up shop.
The heroine Ai, a country girl, joins her sister Kokoro who works there, after receiving a mysterious email from studio head.
There she meets the quirky all-girl (and a dog) cast: the big sisterly head of the studio, her sister, giving her a cold shoulder, the maid/voice talent, the “tiny dinosaur” scenarist, the uniformed artist, and Banako, the dog and vice-president. Ai starts learning about game making as she slowly pieces together the mysteries of her colleagues.
Ai’s world will expand bit by bit, as the game production begins.
Although this is surprising and great news, especially for visual novel fans, the current digital pricing is concerning; with Yumeutsutsu Re:Master currently priced at £58.49 / €64.99 – thus making it the most expensive visual novel released on the console – with its sequel Yumeutsutsu Re:Life being priced at £44.99 / €49,99. The Steam version of Yumeutsutsu Re:Master is also priced rather exceptionally at £51.49.
Regardless of the pricing structure Yumeutsutsu Re:Master and Yumeutsutsu Re:Life will be available to play in English from the 23rd April 2020 on STEAM and Nintendo Switch within Europe; with all editions of the game being digitally only from the relevant storefronts.
