Square Enix ended service of the game for Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Macau in November 2022 with a unique ending that forced players to log out forever after they cleared it.
Square Enix released the SINoALICE smartphone action role-playing game for iOS and Android in Japan in June 2017. Pokelabo Inc. launched an English global version in July 2020. The English version is available worldwide except in Japan, China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, and Macau.
Nexon Korea Corporation, who was the global developer for the game previously, describes SINoALICE:
SINoALICE is a chilling retelling of classic fairy tale within an unsettling dark fantasy world inspired by the game's creative director, Yokō Tarō (NieR: Automata). The game follows several popular fairy tale heroes as they work together to navigate perilous lands, battle menacing enemies and solve mind-bending puzzles to resurrect the storytellers that created them.
Yokō Tarō, Takuto Aoki, himiko, and Jino adapted the game into the SINoALICE (manga) starting in 2019. Volume 5 shipped in October 2022. Square Enix Manga & Books publishes the series in English.
