About

Hailing from the minds behind cherished cult-favorite video games such as Moon: Remix RPG Adventure, Chulip, and Rule of Rose, emerges Stray Children: a poignant fairy tale journey that will redefine your perspectives on both “children” and “adults”.

Story

What would you do if all the adults you know suddenly started attacking you?

These kids face daily challenges as they strive to live and grow in a world much like ours.

hidden somewhere on Earth, there lies a covert chamber stocked from floor to ceiling with antiquated technological artifacts.

As a young lad turns on an ancient gaming console out of curiosity, he is mysteriously transported, right through the monitor, into a totally bizarre world that appears to be an abandoned role-playing game landscape.

Blinking awake in this peculiar new place, they find themselves in a land of children.

Beyond the fortress, one may encounter the Elders: towering figures burdened by their personal shortcomings, self-questioning, and the weight of accumulated adult troubles they carry with them.

It’s been said that these beings are famished for something, and that everywhere and no one is potentially threatened by them.

Can you survive in this world where half-crazed adults lurk around every corner?

It’s here—in this funny, mysterious, and wildly dangerous domain—that your story begins.

Gameplay

In the realm of Stray Children, you’ll engage in combat with peculiar elders using a turn-based system. Instead of relying solely on physical strength, you have the option to bravely fight or use your words as potent weapons. A carefully chosen phrase can deliver a powerful blow, even with a soft whisper.

Skilfully navigate through the persistent outpouring of their hidden feelings, and uncover the origin of their peculiar narratives. With compassionate language, you may find the key to helping them find redemption.

As I step into this bizarre, unknown realm, I can’t help but wonder what else lies hidden within its depths. Unravel the enigmas that await in the intriguing saga of Stray Children. This strange new land seems eerily familiar, yet it’s filled with troubles that I thought I’d left behind.
