They announced this game a while back and then there has been just a complete dearth of information ever since, as if the announcement vanished away to another attractor field.
Interestingly the year 2025 is an important year in the Steins;Gate chronology due to timeline reasons and they already rebooted the series once with the Elite line of VNs so I really, really hope this is not just another cashgrab but actually ties into the overarching time-travel narrative. It would be cool if it was like a soft reboot in the sense that there are lots of callbacks but in actuality it's a divergent timeline influenced by the events of the VNs that succeeded S;G.
My hopes are not high because I can't name a single successful MAGES VN in the past decade so they are probably in deep financial trouble. Honestly I have lost faith in Chiyomaru because DaSH was a travesty and Anonymous;Code betrayed the overwhelming hype that I got from the trailer (they made it all mysterious with Amadeus in the trailer despite giving her like one tiny scene in the actual VN!!!). I think, like the rest of the VN producers, they have just gone wacko crazy in the face of AI and don't care about the games they make anymore. I'd like to be pleasantly surprised but for the time being I'm going to approach this one tentatively.
