Release platforms for the game are still undecided, but it will include Japanese and English languages.

Here’s a brief rundown on the game:

There was an endless tower at the end of the world

There are people who live in the tower, they are all children

I lived powerfully with my shoulders on the tower

I actually believe that there is a “paradise” on the ground
