Soft Source Publishing, along with developer Arrowiz, has revealed that they’re working on a visual novel titled “Mato Fragments” for PC (Steam). This release serves as a prequel to the previously published game, “Mato Anomalies.” The expected launch date is in 2025.
Here is an overview of the game, via its Steam page:
About
Kickstarting the narrative of the Mato series, we delve into the beginnings of Neo City, an urban hub characterized by diverse cultures, epochs, and technologies. But beneath its sleek façade, a sinister plot simmers in the shadows of the city, with the potential to disrupt the delicate tranquility it has maintained.
In the backdrop of an ominous threat looming ever closer to Neo City, it falls upon me to skillfully deploy intel I’ve amassed and set off a strategic chain reaction. The ultimate goal? The rescue of Neo City.
Key Features
- Social Butterfly – An expert in socializing and getting information, you can enter Detective Mode to observe characters to deduce their true intentions. Trade information wisely to impact their behavior and choices.
- Ticking Clock – Or rather, not at all. Trapped in a five-day time loop, you have to tread carefully, as any wrong decision can set you back to the start of the loop. Study the diverse cast of characters as you collect information from them and help them avoid disastrous consequences.
- Retro Futurism – Illustrated beautifully in a unique, stylized art style, Mato Fragments immerses players in a dark, retro-futuristic world that integrates both traditional and modern-day Asian influences in the art style, architecture, and character designs.
