D1AL-ogue+ is in production at CherryPicker with no release window announced. The studio continues to post development diaries and individual repair animations, and a planned crowdfunding campaign has not appeared in any diary.
D1AL-ogue is a free narrative puzzle game from the South Korean indie team CherryPicker, built around conversations with girl-type androids called Electronic Life Forms (E.V.E) in the cyberpunk city of Chroma City, with merge-puzzle repair scenes. The original launched free in February 2026 on Steam and holds an Overwhelmingly Positive rating from over 4,300 user reviews, 97 percent of them positive.
The sequel, D1AL-ogue+, is a full story set six months after the events of the original, not an epilogue or expansion. Players again manage a repair clinic, and protagonist Chris and his sister Michelle become involved in an incident that must be resolved within one month, with the story focused on the choices they make and the truths they uncover in that time. In May, the studio said initial planning and the content schedule were finalized with roughly 20 characters planned, and announced a crowdfunding campaign around summer 2026 after reporting budget shortages and living difficulties caused by the free release model. Kickstarter is unavailable in South Korea, so the studio had been exploring other crowdfunding options.
Development progress has been reported through monthly diaries. By July, additional work on individual character stories was nearly complete, new characters were still in production, and controller support was being implemented with player feedback, alongside story organization and localization preparation. The August diary confirmed Orca's repair animation was complete, added an animation for Michelle in new content, and introduced a new SNS feature to the news and community functions. The series' first merchandise, a Frey plushie by Good Smile Company, was up for preorder until October 7. The diary did not mention the planned crowdfunding.
Since then, CherryPicker has released repair animations one at a time: an earlier clip of the killer whale girl android Orca drew attention, a late-September Steam development diary reported added animations for Maya and others, and the newest clip shows the hatch access sequence for Frey, an android from the previous game. The studio also met with a publisher pursuing a similar direction. The sequel remains unfinished.
