Sekai Project to Release Widenyo, Onii-chan Continue!, Sunrider Legends Tactics, Nandomeka no Hajimemashite Visual Novels in West

Sekai Project announced during its panel at Anime Expo on Saturday that it has licensed Alicesoft's Widenyo, Panmimi Soft's Onii-chan Continue!, Purple Software's Nandome kano Hajimemashite, and Love in Space's Sunrider Legends Tactics visual novels for release on PC via Steam. The company also announced new plushies of characters from Nekopara and a vinyl for the Clannad original soundtrack.

The company describes Alicesoft's Widenyo game:

The continent of Folland was a land plagued by decades of war, waged between countries utilizing enormous mobile fortresses. One of these countries was the tiny kingdom of Mamatoto, a nation so small that it consisted of only a single mobile fortress. What it lacked in size though it more than made up for in speed. That speed allowed Mamatoto to survive flame of war by outrunning the larger but slower fortresses controlled by the other countries.

To the continent's northeast lay the Monster Realm, a land of danger and death. And within that realm was an unusual cave, known as the Othergrotto. Legends claimed that a powerful rift to worlds beyond could be found there.

“There's gotta be something amazing at the end of it…”

Rumors of treasure drove many to try to explore its depths. Entire armies tried to assault the cave as well. But for every legend of the wondrous power within lay an even bleaker one: that not a single soul who entered the Othergrotto ever returned. King Kakaro of Mamatoto, formally a powerful warrior in his own right, has intentions to conquer the Othergrotto. General Nanas, his son and a brilliant tactician, has invented a magical tool capable of summoning powerful heroes from other worlds. With the confidence of his device to grant his father's wish, Nanas summons his father to witness the mighty champion that will come forth!

...At least, that's what was supposed to happen. Instead, a tiny girl stepped out from the machine...

The visual novel debuted in 2009 and is an updated version of the original game, Mamanyonyo, which came out in Japan in 2003.

Sekai Project describes the story of Panmimi Soft's Onii-chan Continue!:

"Let's have a battle, Onii-chan!"

Shirayuki Hayato is a working adult who lives together with his younger sister, Yuri. While he works, he spends his days taking care of his younger sister in place of their parents who aren't around.

In public, Yuri is the perfect girl. Kind to everyone around her, she is well-respected and an honors student but when it comes to chores she leaves that to her big brother. Seeing how she lazes about while being laser-focused on video games, Hayato wishes that she could be a bit more like a normal girl. In the end, he just ends up spoiling her anyway.

Yuri's good friend, Arisugawa Ruru often visits the Shirayuki household and he often spends his days with the two of them.

Should he watch over Ruru and Yuri as an older brother, or act towards them as a man? As he accepts Yuri's challenge, Hayato's trouble-filled days continue...

The game is in development for Q3 2025.

Sekai Project describes the story of Nandome kano Hajimemashite:

Kinou Yumeto lives a hollow existence. He went to a mediocre university, got a job at a mediocre company, and realizes that there's something missing in his mediocre life.

Then one day he crosses paths with a demon named "Laplace" when everything disappears and he suddenly finds himself 13 years in the past. Before him are familiar friends, a familiar school and a familiar life.

"If I can rewrite the world, perhaps I can change my life as well...?"

Yumeto spends his days enjoying these nostalgic and fun times. But there's also a girl intertwined with his memories that he does not remember...

Purple Software is currently developing the game with art by Pan for a Q3 release.

The company describes Love in Space's Sunrider Legends Tactics game:

The Sunrider series returns in a new fantasy universe! Both new and returning players can embark on this adventure on the high seas. Become a naval captain in the age of sail and command your fleet in tactical turn-based battles.

The game is scheduled for release for PC via Steam on August 1.

The company is launching a crowdfunding campaign to fund the production of Maple and Cinnamon plushies from Nekopara. Sekai Project has not announced a date for the release of the Clannad original soundtrack vinyl.
