Today, during a panel at Anime Expo Lite, visual novel publisher Sekai Project introduced upcoming games within its lineup.
First of all, we take a look at Slobbish Dragon Princess 2 by Whirlpool, which will be released “soon” on Steam.
“It’s been a few weeks since Judgement Day — when dragons covered the world’s skies. Humankind has been trying to adapt to a new daily life. But far beyond the skies above, the situation in the sea of stars has grown intense.
The dragons were split in half in their opinion on how to deal with humankind and in the confusion, Iris, dragon queen of the Sea and Water factions, descends to Earth, claiming the seas and barring all humans from entering them. With summer resorts and fishing shut down and even people in some countries unable to travel outside their borders, things looked bleak.
Days later, the dragon girl Dorami convinces Takeru, Haru and Suzuya to go to the beach for a vacation. What awaits Haru and the others as they approach the territory of the sea dragons? But for now, they’ll just have a barbecue. Maybe even split a watermelon.”
Next is QUALIA ~The Path of Promise~ by Puresis, also coming soon to Steam. Translation and editing have already been completed.
“Machina” is the world’s first android to pass the Turing Test. She’s attracted worldwide attention for her human-like qualities though there’s still some part of her that is not fully complete which shows that she still has room to grow. Incidentally, she is also dressed like a maid.
At the suggestion of his colleague, Dr. Hiro Koshino ends up taking Machina home and has her work as a maid. As Machina continues to learn and grow through her interactions with Hiro, he also begins to develop certain feelings towards her…
An android heroine and the genius hermit. This is a story of pure love where the two learn to grow together, overcome fate and find happiness.”
Amairo Chocolate 2 by Cabbage Soft is also coming to Steam, with its translation in progress and more details coming soon.
“Yunagicho, a town lined with Western-style homes. The previous autumn was when Yuzuki came to this town and met the animal eared girls and started working with them at Cafe Setaria.
The day after Christmas, he meets a lost girl looking for a traditional sweets shop. He finds the shop, which is run by her sister and that’s when he realized that they sported magnificent rabbit ears!
Suddenly, Yuzuki finds himself working at both the cake shop, Sweet Tail and the newly opened sweet shop, Mochizuki and his days just keep getting busier. But he continues to do his best in the fun and lively days he spends with these animal eared girls.”
We also take a look at the super-challenging Tobari 2: Nightmare by desunoya, which, you guessed it, is working its way to Steam.
“Tobari 2: Nightmare takes all the stages from Tobari 2: Dream Ocean and ups the difficulty to 100! This is a gift from desunoya to those that cleared Tobari 2: Dream Ocean and were looking for more to challenge themselves with. Each level is filled to the brim with tricks and other deadly elements to reduce your lives to zero!
If you are a daredevil hero looking for a challenge, then this nightmare awaits you…

Then we hear about Re;lord 3 ~The Demon Lord of Groessen and the Final Witch~ by Escu:de, which mixes strategy JRPG and visual novel. It’s currently in translation and will come soon via Steam.
“A fantasy world where magic exists.
This is a story where demons lived among the denizens of the world. And it’s the demon realm that was about to face an unprecedented crisis when three “Witches of Ruin” suddenly appeared and invaded the demon country of Saarland.
Wilfried Heisenburg, son of the governor of Groessen and his army continue their quest to reclaim territories lost to the Witches and turns toward Greiz, the political center of Groessen. Once a thriving city with trains that run from there to the royal capital, it has all the appearances of an eerie ghost town. With Herford and Cologne liberated, only the Witch of Greiz remains.
As Wilfried’s forces march on Greiz, the fated hour also approaches as if to ridicule him. Thus begins his final battle.”
On top of that, we know that Re;lord 2 ~The Witch of Cologne and the Black Cat~ is coming this year, also to Steam.
Last, but not least, 2236 A.D. Secretary Stories by Chloro is waiting for its final approval by Valve in preparation for its release on Steam.
“This is a story about Masuko, the Personal A.I. Secretary System (PASS) for Smart Tools* and her owner, Yotsuba.
The day is January 1, 2236 A.D. and the start of the year hasn’t gone as well as it could have.
(*It’s a really awesome smartphone)This is a nonsensical story between man and AI that seems heartwarming but may not actually be heartwarming.
There are laughs but there aren’t really any tears but in any case, it is a visual novel about how Masuko is cute.”
