Irotoridori no Sekai Visual Novel Kickstarter Ends Successfully

Sol Press' Kickstarter campaign for Favorite's Irotoridori no Sekai visual novel series ended successfully on Wednesday, raising US$85,359 from 873 backers, above the US$85,000 goal to localize the first titular game in the series.

The campaign had stretch goals of US$170,000 for the second game Irotoridori no Hikari, and US$215,000 for the third game Akai Hitomi ni Utsuru Sekai. In an update, Sol Press stated that the funding for these titles will be determined as work on the first game finishes.

Sol Press' initial scheduled timeline for the release includes the release of the last game in the series by 2021. Sol Press plans to publish the games on PC via Steam and Hyourin. The company describes the series:

Kanoue Yuuma is a magician.

A magician with the ability to heal a person's wounds, no matter what they may be, at the cost of his own memories. This story takes place in the remote seaside town of Kazatsugahama, in a weird, wonderful student dorm known as the Arashiyama Manor. Down in the basement is a link to another world. A vibrant, multicolored world…

For all the oddities surrounding this young man, he spends his life peacefully, almost as if it were a dream.

Until one day, it all changed. Under a full, glistening orange moon, a girl came down from the sky.

"Please, Mr. Magician. Won't you help me?"

The first game in the series debuted in Japan in 2011, followed by the sequel in 2012, and the third game in 2015.
