Kamitsubaki City Regenerate: Dark sci-fi fantasy VN coming in February is a good entry point to the series
Kamitsubaki Studio and Orange have announced that they will be releasing Kamitsubaki City Regenerate on PC and Nintendo Switch on February 20, 2025. The standalone visual novel is part of the studio’s series of “Kamitsubaki City Under Construction” games and projects that explore a dark fantasy, sci-fi world. It will be playable in English and Japanese.
In the game, the player is transported to Kamitsubaki City, a place that exists in a parallel world. Surviving your isekai experience, you meet a girl named Kafu, and together you must save the city from the doomed fate that awaits it.
The game works like a fully-voiced text adventure, with bold anime-style characters and background illustrations to draw you into the mysterious world. Your choices will influence what happens to the city and its inhabitants, and the game promises multiple endings.
Kamitsubaki Studios has been developing the “Kamitsubaki City Under Construction” IP since 2019. Projects have included a novel, TRPG and an in-development VR title called Kamitsubaki City Virtual Reality. The studio also published the well-received coming-of-age isekai VN Moonless Moon, which launched on Steam last month.
Their upcoming release, Kamitsubaki City Regenerate, is being marketed as a good entry point for those who are unfamiliar with the Kamitsubaki City series. Kamitsubaki Studios is known for its singers, and the game will feature numerous popular songs from the studio that link to the plot and expand the world’s lore.
Kamitsubaki City Regenerate is scheduled to be released for Nintendo Switch and PC (Steam) on February 20, 2025. It will have physical releases in Japan, including a special edition bundled with a tapestry, badge set, postcard set, original soundtrack etc.
