Publisher Prototype and developer LIFE0 have announced that their romance visual novel “Seven Days” will be released in Japan on June 6th, 2024, for the Nintendo Switch with English support. A new trailer was released, which you can check above.
Seven Days originally launched for PC in 2017 but then jumped over to PS Vita in 2018. An English-localized version made its way to Steam in 2019, but nothing has been heard from the game until today. This updated Switch release will include touchscreen controls, one-hand Joy-Con support, and both the extra chapter “The Purple Envelope” and the extra CG added in the PS Vita release.
About the game:
A couple of days before the summer holiday starts… Kanzaki Shuuichi receives a “cursed Blu-ray disc” from one of his friends.
Playing it at home, a female ghost emerges and possesses him. Sairenji Murasaki, Shuuichi’s childhood friend, expels the evil spirit with the exorcism skills taught by her father, who runs a time-honored Japanese Buddhist shrine. The ritual, however, is only partially successful, somehow behind leaving the physical human form of the female specter.
She identifies herself as Mikanagi Chiyako, seemingly the girl who was murdered in the video recorded on the Blu-ray disc, and tells Shuuichi and Murasaki about her situation.
“There are six other girls inside me.”
Murasaki explains that a ghost is only allowed to exist for forty-nine days in this world, meaning the seven girls can each have seven days. Shuuichi then makes up his mind to assist all of them in spending their remaining days without any regrets and passing away in happiness.
Shuuichi, however, does not realize what will happen to him later. He does not realize that he will have to see each of the seven girls depart from him.

These supplemental art pieces will be released on random dates, but they’ll continue to showcase Hatsune Miku and Pokémon together. Along with that, the art will spotlight some other Vocaloid idols as well.
Today’s art is titled “Cherry Blossom Assist”, drawn by Yuu.

Furthermore, The Legend of Heroes: Kuro no Kiseki II -CRIMSON SiN- is loaded with unique content, including a variety of new challenges throughout the Republic of Calvard.
Prologue
S.1209. After the threat of the mafia organization Armata was gone, the Republic of Calvard regained its former peace. But one day, in a corner of Edith City, a bizarre incident occurs in which a CID (Central Intelligence Department) special operations squad was found slaughtered.
The Calvard Police and Bracer Guild begin investigating the matter. But sensing that a new time of chaos may come, underground factions also start making moves.
Meanwhile, Spriggan Van Arkride also begins his investigation, kickstarted by a visit from an unexpected someone.
Who is the culprit behind the massacre? Why did they do it? And what will happen to Agnes, who is searching for the Eighth Genesis, the last legacy of her great grandfather?
The brutish roar of a crimson beast, and an encounter with a young boy and girl seeking “something” will lead them down a “Trail” that they cannot escape.
