The relationships are sometimes messy, just like in real life, because we like to explore those kinds of topics.
During the festival you can get Truer than You at a 25 % discount. Let’s see where Rin ends up when you play❣️

Rin as a main character has the power to choose over many things - they can for instance end relationships that doesn’t work, but they can’t control everything, and sometimes characters in the game do things that Rin didn’t wish for.

We are super happy to be selected, and we think that this theme fits Truer than You perfectly. We put a lot of effort into the diversity of the relationships in the game, having them end in everything from mutual love, to heartbreak, or somethng in-between...

I think we’ll see a shift going forward as to where those events take place, where Europe hopefully will have a place, I also think Asia will become more active and visible… let’s see ☺️
