Amata Games Sets September 30 Launch For Shinjuku Anomaly On Steam
Amata Games is shipping a small Steam visual novel while it also builds an officially licensed Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney - Dual Destinies VR project for Meta headsets, so the September 30 date is a near-term release from a studio whose larger licensed work is still a year out.
Reporting from 1 source: Anime News Network.
Amata Games said Monday that Shinjuku Anomaly, its horror visual novel, launches for PC via Steam on September 30. A trailer went out with the date. On Steam, the game casts the player as a part-time photographer sent to capture anomalies in Shinjuku at night under four rules, including staying close enough for a clear shot but not too close, and returning to the agency when the film runs out. It supports English, Japanese, Traditional Chinese, and Simplified Chinese.
The Steam listing frames the game around a fixed set of rules. You photograph anomalies in Shinjuku at night, get close enough for a clear image but not too close, and head back to the agency once the film is gone. That structure, a job with instructions rather than an open investigation, is the sales pitch.
The release is PC via Steam on September 30, with English, Japanese, Traditional Chinese, and Simplified Chinese text.
Amata Games is also developing an officially licensed VR version of CAPCOM's Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney - Dual Destinies for Meta Quest headsets and Meta VR Glasses, slated for next year.
