The game is planned for release on Nintendo Switch and is built around crime suspense, with the official X account using an icon modeled on a police badge emblem. On October 9, the project's X account posted a message styled as an email from an unknown sender carrying the line \"What is worth betraying justice for?\" in Japanese and English. The teaser site issues a mission for users to complete by October 19 at 12:00, when materials for the game will be released; the character designer will be named at the same time. Aika Kuboshima is producer and director, Ren Mikado is the main scenario writer, Ryoko Seki and Ao no Nui are sub scenario writers, and Shimadamaru-me handles chibi character illustrations. MintLip+ was established by Edia in October 2025, when the brand announced two new otome games.","whyItMatters":"MintLip+ is opening its first title through a staged, alternate-reality-style rollout rather than a standard reveal, and the October 19 date is when the brand's actual game (character design, cast) has to arrive.","webCardHtml":"\u003cp\u003eDenfaminicogamer and Automaton both describe PROJECT SIGN: Astraea as the first of the two otome games Edia announced when it established MintLip+ in October 2025, with the second project carrying the name Invisible.
