Yotsuba Interactive, a newly formed publisher by marketing agency Neon Noroshi, has announced their first title I Write Games Not Tragedies, a narrative musical visual novel by developers Studio Wife and Cornmandog.
The game will be shown off at BitSummit in Kyoto next month, but players at home can check out the brand new trailer below.
About:
I Write Games Not Tragedies explores three eras of life and lessons through the eyes of protagonist Ash. Players will both adore and cringe over him during his “baby bat” years in the late 2000s, resonate with his anxieties and battles with alcoholism in the 2010s then join him on his quest for the meaning of life as an elder emo in the 2020s. Relish in his humor, encounters with romance and occasional discomfort through a visual novel meets rhythm game experience. True to the punkitude, players will not only be tasked with hitting lyrics to the beat at the right points but literally screaming out their frustrations in order to obtain a high score!
The name of the game itself is an homage to the 2005 song “I Write Sins Not Tragedies” by American pop rock band, Panic! At The Disco
About Yotsuba Interactive
Since the establishment of Neon Noroshi in 2018, the marketing and PR company has been focused on providing support to indie games, especially small studios who have taken the path of self-publishing.
“However with the rapidly growing number of indie games being released, the market trend has been moving towards larger-scale successes. We’re seeing many more studios looking for consultation support from us as publishers can’t support smaller games in their portfolio,” says founder, Tomoko Miya.
“Yotsuba Interactive will step into this role and bring indie games back to their original roots - games which showcase the rich and unique experiences of small development teams. We want to see stories that reflect their lives, no matter how small, as these are the kinds of passions that players thrive on.”
