Why it matters
Cybird's first partnership with Aniplex pairs the studio behind the Ikemen Series with a publisher that rarely backs original otome-adjacent ADV projects, and the simultaneous worldwide release with Chinese and English support puts the title outside the usual Japan-first rollout.
Key Facts

The release date and price are undecided. Cybird handles planning and production, Aniplex handles sales, and the two companies are working together for the first time. The game is billed as an ADV of the fate that awaits at the end of revenge, with a catch copy about a witch who becomes a devil. Hiroto Kuramasu of Cybird is producer, director, and original concept. Tomomi Nakayama, whose credits include Virche Evermore -ErroR:salvation- and CRAZY CHA!N -Elpis no Kusari-, writes the scenario with Ichiha of C-Garden. Ugonba, who designed Clark Stella and Lutar Stella in Fragaria Memories, handles character design. A teaser visual, teaser PV, teaser site, and Japanese and English social accounts opened with the announcement.
The teaser visual shows a woman with flowing silver hair under a large full moon, a devil-like man reaching his hand toward her, and tarot cards floating around the pair. The press release says the tarot cards "seem to hint at the strange fate that will be woven from here on."
The full catch copy reads: "This is a revenge tale of how I, who was a witch, ended up becoming a demon. What awaits after a foolish life falls: heaven or hell?" The product listing adds a player count of one and lists CERO rating as undecided.
