The port will be released under the game brand 'dramatic create'. 'Ooe' is a mystery horror BL novel game set in 1955 on a remote island, featuring 9 criminals and 1 detective. The game was originally released for PC in 2024 by the indie game circle ADELTA, with a complete version following in April 2025. The scenario and original art are handled by Rinko Kurosawa, ADELTA's representative. The Switch port adds a character voice for 'Hinode', new alternate episodes, and multilingual subtitles in Japanese, English, Traditional Chinese, Simplified Chinese, and Korean.
