The event runs from September 17 to September 21 at Makuhari Messe. The game is scheduled for release in 2026 for PC via Steam and Nintendo Switch, with support for Japanese, Simplified Chinese, and English. Acacia is known for 'Mahou Shoujo no Maho Saiban,' and Umemaro, who worked on that title, handles character design. The story follows the girls band Ragdrops after the reported death of vocalist Neon. A secret account called Poison Apple accuses the band of wrongdoing, and the members are dragged into the otherworld UraU. The game has a dungeon exploration segment and an adventure segment that ends in a public execution. The TGS demo is a roughly 10-minute novel segment edited from the start of the main story, with full voice acting and a special music video shown for the first time. A gameplay video of the demo is planned for later release. The G-MODE booth will also exhibit one more title, with details to be announced.","whyItMatters":"The demo's inclusion of a first-time music video and full voice acting signals G-MODE is treating this as a flagship showcase for its TGS2026 presence, pairing it with a second unannounced title at the same booth.","webCardHtml":"\u003cp\u003e\u003c/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHino Neon is voiced by Ariyo Nozomu Saike in the Denfaminicogamer press release; Game Spark lists the same character as Neon Touno, voiced by Mochi Aseka.
