Believe it or not, it's been five years since we released Murder on the Marine Express. Not that we've been awfully prolific during that time, we know; however, we've managed to bring the game to every console on the market, released a side story (The Seven Bad Apples), and presented the direct sequel (The Girl Who Wasn't There) through a demo. Considering that our day jobs don't allow us to devote much time to creating video games, that's not a bad track record at all!
We want to take this opportunity—the fifth anniversary of the The Mysteries of Ranko Togawa series—to thank everyone who has given our adventures a chance. They are simple games with plenty of room for improvement, but we’ve poured all our love for the mystery genre and the visual novels that inspired us to pursue this path into them. We hope that, at the very least, that has come through in our humble stories.
Although many of you have shown us your support during this time, we’re sure there are still people yet to discover the cases of Ranko and Astrid. So we’re making it really easy: today, our games will be on sale so you can buy them (or gift them!) for just small change. If you like mystery, slapstick humor, surprises, random trivia, and pixel art, we think you’ll have a pleasant reading time with them.
Once again, thank you so much for your kindness. We hope you’ll stick with us for the next five years too!
