Denfaminicogamer sat down with four scenario writers from Another Eden: Time Travel Cat-Hisashi Fujishiro, Tsumu, Yuichiro Honda, and Nana Shichisaki-along with producer Shinnosuke Hirasawa. The interview was meant to explore how the team crafts the game's acclaimed stories. Instead, the writers revealed a shared creative impulse: they love breaking their characters.
Asked about their favorite story beats, the team offered answers like "liberation from a gloomy world," "clouding over" the characters, "writing nothing but stories about past regrets," and "a tendency to want to shatter their hearts." The writers described a process that starts with despair and builds toward redemption, a pattern visible in recent storylines like the new Outer History "The Soul of Nostalgia and the Traveler of the Retrograde Star."
The team also discussed their approach to protagonist Aldo, who has topped fan popularity polls for nine years. They emphasized keeping his fundamental goodness intact while allowing subtle differences in how each writer portrays him.
