A big thank you once again to everyone who joined us at Anime Expo this year! We hope you enjoy the rest of the convention! And now onto a recap of what we announced…
Pastel Chime 3 – Bind Seeker
Break free from the binds of fate!
A simulation RPG from Alicesoft! Eight years after the events of Pastel Chime Continue, a new adventure begins with a protagonist who holds a special secret… Swords and sorcery are a given, but this adventure allows you to unleash a new power—Binds—sealed abilities derived from other worlds. Take hold of others and make proper use of these Binds to carve your path through a gripping tale of twists and turns!
Pastel Chime is a simulation RPG set in a fantasy world. Multiple stories overlap as you progress through the events of the game, clearing key points to reach your desired ending. The game features five main heroines in total, each of whom can become the protagonist’s lover as the story progresses.
The game progresses through selected events, which vary by day and by character. By selecting certain events, you can increase your intimacy with certain characters and advance your relationship with them. During the daytime, you may fight as many battles as you like through the Guild, allowing you to level up while earning money and items. By clearing each chapter’s key events, you can progress to the next chapter.
You can modify character stats and skills by equipping them with Binds, special entities from other worlds. Each character has a Bind that cannot be removed, referred to as Master Binds. Lesser Binds which can be freely swapped out between characters are referred to as Slave Binds. The strength of your Binds increase with further combat.
Ooe
Ooe is the latest period psychological horror mystery from ADELTA, developers of Hashihime of the Old Book Town and UUUltraC. A classic closed-circle mystery set on a remote island in 1950s Japan——revel in the intrigue and perverse pleasure of being deceived by the people you trust the most!
A memorial service for the second anniversary of the actress Ann Ooe’s death is being held on Ooejima, a remote island even further from Tokyo than Hachijo-jima. Our protagonist, Osaki, is employed by a detective agency, and he receives a most curious request——to attend the service in the guise of his client.
Tension hangs between the mourners, and it turns out that none of them have so much as seen the event’s host. But things only go from bad to worse when the ferry set to return them to the mainland never shows up… and the guests discover the servant who had been attending them murdered.
Tormented by distrust and paranoia, the mourners search for the murderer only leading to further and further tragedy. The guests must unravel the mysteries of their shared pasts and the untimely death of Ann Ooe in this classic closed circle Showa horror mystery.
All nine mourners are guilty, and they’re all romancable (including the initial murder victim). Each route offers both mystery and romance, and more potential love interests and choices open up as you progress through the routes.
