The publisher announced the date on September 30 alongside a Switch version that had not previously been confirmed; the game was originally planned for Steam alone. Developer Denneko Yuugi, an indie circle led by representative Hosenka and operating with a team of about five people, built the game around Retra, a dual-wielding cat-eared protagonist who enters the Far Eastern country of Ouran, becomes trapped in a dreamlike tower, and fights to escape. Combat pairs normal and strong attacks with Arts specials, chained through button presses and a tension gauge that fills toward the ultimate Over Arts. Runs combine more than 50 enhancement items called Attributes with the Dream Depth system, which adds debuffs and strengthens enemies as the player goes deeper.","whyItMatters":"The Switch version arrives alongside Steam on the same day after the game had been announced only for Steam, and Shochiku Games is pairing the date with a CAMPFIRE crowdfunding campaign that sells early Steam keys and end-credit name listings.","webCardHtml":"\u003cp\u003eThe announcement arrived with a playable update.
