Primula, the developers behind Taisho x Alice, have announced their new otome project, Navigatore of the Ruined World. The game will be fully voiced (excluding the protagonist).
According to their X/Twitter announcement, the game is slated for release in 2026 on the PC platform and will be available in three languages: Japanese, Simplified Chinese and English.
ABOUT THE GAME
The story takes place in a post-apocalyptic world where only two humans have survived: the protagonist and the hero. You will assume the role of the protagonist as she fights to survive alongside Harunashi Mika, the game’s hero.
The game itself is a visual novel where the player will be frequently required to make tough choices in order to guide the characters through the harsh and unforgiving world they find themselves in. Your choices will cause their relationship to develop and determine the conclusion of the story.
There are a wide variety of different endings. The protagonist and Mika might simply work together to survive; they might develop romantic feelings for one another and become a new Adam and Eve; they might be unable to find common ground and go their separate ways. Perhaps there are even endings where they choose to give up on life entirely… Everything is determined by your choices!
STORY
The year is 2685 A.D. Technology has developed to the point where humans can control even the weather! Virtual reality tech is also highly advanced, allowing people to fully immerse themselves in virtual worlds offering unprecedented experiences.
~A post-apocalyptic world where humanity is nearly extinct.
How would the survivors think and act in such an environment?~
The protagonist decides to participate in Navigatore, a new VR project produced by a popular internet program. There she meets with Harunashi Mika and decides to partner up with him.
When the two awaken and step outside, they find themselves in a barren, deserted landscape… one seemingly far too realistic to be the product of virtual reality.
As they get their bearings, they hear the voice of the program’s announcer:
“A man and a woman placed in extreme conditions… can they survive? How will they survive?
The audience is dying to find out!
We’re hoping for plenty of human drama and maybe a bit of romance!”
“The guided part of the tour is over. Your life in the wasteland begins now!
We shall await the conclusion of your story with bated breath!”

Otome Kitten 
I wonder if the heroine’s eyes sprite look weird on purpose to have player turn her sprite off. I might maybe turn it off for the first time ever in a game because they weird me out a bit. And I am someone who really wants all heroines in otome to have in game sprites always visible ;_;
That being said, I am really, really excited about this game seeing the writer’s credits. I loved all of the games they wrote for.
