I put some of Nippon Ichi's VNs from a few years ago on here in the off chance that, after bringing Process of Elimination over, they'd be willing to bring more over, too.
It's nice to see a bunch that were on last year's list actually got brought over or are in the process of coming over.
...seriously, KT, please bring Ciel Nosurge DX/Ar Nosurge DX over.

Nippon Ichi Software Reveals New Yuri Visual Novel
Tumblr media
  A new yuri visual novel is on the way from publisher Nippon Ichi Software and developer Daisyworld, and the first details have been revealed. Kochira, Haha Naru Hoshi Yori is on the way to PlayStation 4 and Switch in Japan, with a release date currently set for October 28.
  Naotaka Ueki is directing the yuri adventure, Gen Sugunuma is producing, and Yuu Akinashi is on character designs. The story follows Kanako and five other girls, who wake up one morning on a cruise ship. The catch is that there are no traces of others on board and the only memories they have is their names and the fact that they were on vacation together.
  Here's a look at the girls who will be exploring the empty ship, which suddenly makes the following announcement over its PA: “We are terribly sorry, but due to engine problems, this ship will seize sailing for a while. A rescue crew will arrive in one week.”
  However, after that first week, a rescue crew never arrives, so it's up to them to find a solution. When they reach a door that leads outside of the ship, what they discover is an Ikebukuro in ruins, completely reclaimed by nature, kicking off a struggle for survival and a natural deepening of bonds between the six girls. 
  In addition to Kanako Tokio, voiced by Ayaka Fujii, characters and cast members include Akira Kanasashi (VA: Asuka Kawakami), Saori Hiki (VA: Aitsuki Nakuru), Motoko Honda (VA: Masaki Mizuki), Natsuki Namiki (VA: Nanako Oomoto), and Harumi Azuchi (VA: Nanahira). 
Tumblr media
    Key visual:
Tumblr media
    Players will have to dive in to discover the mysteries behind this ruined Ikebukuro and help the girls survive along the way. There's currently no word on a western release.

“This is Mother Earth!” And we’re doing good today!
When We Woke Up, We Were on a Cruise Ship
One morning, Kanako and five other girls woke up on a cruise ship. The inside of the ship was silent, with no traces of any other people. The only memory they were able to recall were each other’s names and the fact that they were on vacation together. With nothing else they can do, they began to exploring the ship.

We’re the Only Ones on this Ship
While exploring inside the empty ship, a lifeless announcement rings through the PA. “We are terribly sorry, but due to engine problems, this ship will seize sailing for a while. A rescue crew will arrive in one week.” The ship is broken, but it doesn’t seem it will sink anytime soon, and rescue will arrive if they just be patient. Kanako and the girls wonder why there is no one else on board, but decide to enjoy their time on the ship.

Publisher Nippon Ichi Software and developer Daisyworld have released new information and screenshots for yuri visual novel Kochira, Haha Naru Hoshi Yori introducing survival life in Ikebukuro and the girls’ relationships.
Get the details below.
■ Explore the City of Ikebukuro
Where should we go today?
Living in an uninhabited Ikebukuro can be quite difficult. Not only do you need to eat, you also need a bed to sleep comfortably and a bath to wash yourself.
Kanako and company will improve the quality of their survival life by making beds from cut bamboo and running bath water into barrels.
—If you want bamboo, go to the bamboo thicket. Or if you need tools, go to the department store. Kanako and company will head to various locations to find the things they want.
Tumblr media
—Cut bamboo to make a bed!
Tumblr media
■ Girls Who Work Together
We’re not alone! If we stick together, we’ll be alright!
During their survival life, the girls will split up into groups to handle their work.
While it may feel a little lonely that everyone cannot stay together at all times, the girls will help each other out and pave the path forward.
—Akira and company split up into two groups: a dissection group to take care of the deer, and a preparation group to find food utensils.
Tumblr media
—A barricade blocks the girls from getting into a department store, which carries tools. When the physically-trained Akira and company get rid of the barricade…
Tumblr media
—…Kanako and company, who arrive later, can explore the department store with peace of mind!
Tumblr media
■ Time Spent with a Special Someone
Even when living together as a group, it’s just two of us at times!
Despite working and living together with everyone, sometimes the girls will find themselves alone with their special someone.
In these situations, it’s their chance to think either “I’m a little concerned about…” or “It’s fun to be with you,” and deepen their relationship.
—It’s a small space where you have to huddle together if you want to fish…
Tumblr media
—Which two girls out of the six will go fishing together?
Tumblr media
—This time, Kanako and Akira are going together. Since it is early in the morning, both girls are sleepy.
Tumblr media
■ Checking Out Your Relationships
I spend more time with her than anyone else…
Kanako and company will deepen their bonds through their survival life adventure. If they have a fun time together, they will want to spend even more time with each other.
Through the time spent together, the two girls who become closest to each other will make time for them alone to spend together.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
—Saori and Motoko, who spent time together during their survival life…
Tumblr media
—…can hold hands and laugh together now that they have become close.
■ Kanako and Akira
I can be my best me because of you.
Kanako and Akira care about each other as they live their lives together.
From the moment she woke up, Kanako chased after Akira when she realized she had something she had to tell her. Akira, on the other hand, is always pulling everyone along, but does not show her weaknesses and sometimes pushes herself too hard. Kanako, who is always watching Akira, sensed her anxiety and gently encouraged her. And Akira is drawn to the strong and gentle Kanako…
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Kanako and Akira walk about Ikebukuro at night. Akira, who is afraid of dark places, holds Kanako’s sleeves tightly.
Kanako: “Its pitch black in here, so might as well use the smartphone light. The battery should be fine if its only a short walk, right?”
Akira: ” R-right. It’s too dark… I can’t even see what’s around my feet.”
Kanako: “It’s a good thing I have a smartphone… the light really saved us… Huh?”
Akira: “What! What happened!?”
Kanako: “When I shined the light on that flower bed-looking place just now, something shone for a second. Did you see?”
Akira: “O-oh…”
Tumblr media
■ Saori and Motoko
Two opposites who influence each other more than anyone else.
Saori is calm and quiet, while Motoko is a cheerful and fearless mood maker. While these two opposites do not comprehend emotional distance, and oftentimes are unable to convey their emotions correctly, they both had the same desire to get along with each other. While they only pass by each other at first, they will gradually become closer. As time passes, the two will come to know each other.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Saori and Motoko chat on the cruise ship. At this point, they are still unsure how to interact with each other…
Saori: “H-hey… W-wait… Don’t get close all of a sudden like that… You startled me…”
Motoko: “Eh, what’s the problem?”
Saori: “Uh, uh… s-sorry… It’s not that I hate it… But it startles me when you come close so suddenly…”
Motoko: “…Ah. Got it. Sorry, Saorin. I’ll be more careful.”
Tumblr media
■ Natsuki and Harumi
While there is no real reason behind it, I’m happy being with you.
Natsumi and Harumi move at their own pace and can handle anything that comes their way. Cut from the same cloth, the pair naturally start to spend more and more time together. Natsumi, who was normally most comfortable on her own, is now always reaching out to Harumi during their survival life. And while Harumi is happy to be with her and tags along, Natsumi’s spontaneous words pull at her heart strings every time.
The pair, previously fine on their own, now spend each day with someone who makes them feel, “while there is no real reason behind it, I’m happy being with you.”
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Natsuki and Harumi came to the library in search of books. But in her hurry, Harumi fell…
Natsumi: “Gah… Azuchi, are you alright?”
Harumi: “I… I’m alright. I’m good, right? Ahh, uhh… yeah, I’m fine…!”
Natsumi: “Okay… Good. I’m surprised that you fell over like that. I guess you can be clumsy at times, too.”
Harumi: “Uh, uh… Nakki?”
Natsumi: “Yeah?”
Harumi: “…You’re face is a bit close…. the atmosphere’s become a bit daring…”
Natsumi: “… I-I see.”
