Shochiku Co., Ltd.’s Game Division (Shochiku Games) will release a free trial version of its new PC visual novel game, Algorithm Prescription, at 6 PM JST on April 28, 2026.
This title is Shochiku’s first original romance visual novel for PC. The free trial version will depict the daily lives of the protagonist, Cocoro, and the love interests from a different perspective than the main game.
Additionally, alongside the free trial version announcement, a new trailer for the game has also been released. For more information about the game, including its cast, characters, and world setting, check out this article.
ABOUT THE FREE TRIAL
Unlike the full version, the free trial presents the story from a third-person perspective. This format was chosen in the hope that by objectively observing the relationships and atmosphere between the protagonist and the other characters, players will have the chance to think more carefully about “who to choose and what to choose” when taking on the protagonist’s role in the full version.
NEW TRAILER
The video was created by Emumelo. The trailer introduces key story elements and features Japanese voice acting for the characters, giving viewers a better sense of the game’s world.
