This game has recently reached over 450 players on Steam (as well as hundreds more on Itch), and it's seen a huge increase in profile in recent weeks due to the Kyoto ALT strike over some of the very same issues that this game discussed.
Conditions have been getting worse and worse for English teachers in Japan, but the Kyoto ALTs did manage to secure a raise, one of the first of its kind for private dispatch ALTs. This game sure isn't to thank, but I know we've received many kind words about it since its release, especially since the Japanese localization.
So, thank you very much for your support. This was not a large game by any means, but I hope it made at least a small impact on raising awareness. Thank you for playing and thank you for sharing.

Love is in the Airship is participating in this week's Choose Wisely Festival 2025, hosted by Studio Ephua. Please check the festival out and look at all the recently released and upcoming narrative games all over Steam. There's lots of LGBTQ+ games included, as well. Our first game is finally reaching a -30% off sale!
Our next game, Winter Heat, releases this Friday, 12/12! It's also set in Japan and goes into depth about daily life for foreigners living here. It's a romantic comedy, nowhere near as heavy as Life of a Dispatch English Teacher in Japan, but it deals with some of the same difficult topics, such as visa trouble, gay marriage, and making tough life choices about moving overseas.
