A visual novel created by the writer of the world renowned Spice and Wolf light novel series was greenlit for an English release on Steam yesterday. The game’s English release was fully backed by the Sekai Project, a young American localization company that focuses its efforts on giving greater exposure to doujins (indie Japanese works) by working with the creators and using the power of crowdfunding and social media to bring these works to English audiences overseas.
WORLD END ECONOMiCA will be a three part visual novel gradually released one episode at a time. As a big fan of Japanese indie games I am greatly looking forward to this release and the release of the other episodes as well. For now I believe this game will receive a warm welcome on Steam, and with this bit of news I gladly welcome the Sekai Project to the video game scene.
