πŸŽ† Happy New Year from CASCHA GAMES πŸŽ†

As 2026 begins,
We just want to say thank you
To everyone who spent time with The Parallel (θ―‘ι—»ζ–‹).

If you enjoy story-heavy visual novels,
slow-burn characters,
and choices that actually matter,
Then you probably understand what we focused on in 2025.

This past year wasn’t about chasing trends.
It was about refining what already existedβ€”
rewriting, restructuring, and polishing
until each story felt closer to what it was meant to be.

Ghost in the Pool, Concealed, and Weirdo
are very different games,
but they share the same core ideas:

  • Choices are not decoration

  • Characters are not disposable

  • Endings don’t always give clear answers

In 2025, we also completed the full release of the trilogy
across Steam and Nintendo Switch,
carefully adapting the experience for handheld reading.

In 2026, we’ll continue expanding the world of Di Yingling High.
Characters will return.
Connections will deepen.
The bigger picture will slowly come into focus.

If you’ve played our gamesβ€”
whether you loved them or had mixed feelingsβ€”
We truly welcome your thoughts.

Your feedback shapes what The Parallel will become.

Happy New Year.
We hope to meet you again in the next story.
