Why it matters
The campaign's rapid success has already expanded the release plan beyond the initial PC version, adding a Switch 2 version and an Xbox port as stretch goals.
Developer Classi5ed revealed stretch goals that include a Nintendo Switch 2 version alongside the initial PC release on Steam and GOG, with an Xbox port planned as a future stretch goal. The campaign had raised about 9.6 million yen at the time of writing and runs until September 30, 2026.
The game is a sequel to Lie of Caelum, a free JRPG on Steam, but is designed to be playable without the earlier title. It uses a turn-based battle system with an input combo mechanic, mecha combat, exploration, and mini-games. Lead developer Stark said his prediction that the campaign would take at least a week was blown away, and called the project a challenge to exceed the limits of RPG Maker MZ.
Reached stretch goals include New Game+, an expanded player support robot, card game elements, a digital art book for backers, and a Nintendo Switch 2 version alongside the initial PC release on Steam and GOG. An Xbox port is planned as a future stretch goal. The campaign, planned to support Japanese, runs until September 30, 2026, with full release scheduled for the third quarter of 2027.
