However, his meeting with Ruri, the class president doesn’t turn out the same way. After crossing paths with her, she appears before him the next day.

We then move on to Watamari – A Match Made in Heaven Part1 by creator of Ne no Kami: The Two Princess Knights of Kyoto Kuroirodoru Yomiji, coming to PC via Steam in 2022.
“Spring.
Hoshino Hikari is a new transfer student to the prestigious St. Leanne Girl’s Academy. But she’s no ordinary student, as she’s been sent there as an agent by the “Agency”, who are interested in the secrets hidden within the school. While her transferring in is quite extraordinary, everyone is more interested in the ritual that takes place before the opening ceremonies.
During this ritual, some students manifest signs of the zodiac, and then are given an angelic title and a blessing. These students are known as the Angels of the Zodiac, and are given the role of bringing fortune to the student body.
Hikari, who is trying to not stand out in order to root out the school’s secrets, is bestowed with the grace of Virgo during the ceremony and becomes known as “Exousia”.This is of no consequence to Hikari who simply wishes to make friends with the student body as soon as possible to not stand out like a sore thumb. Things don’t go according to plan as she feels a burning sensation on her cheek and is suddenly bestowed with the grace of Virgo and becomes known as Exousia.
“But… but… why me…?”
What is her connection to the other Zodiac? And what are the secrets hidden within the school?”
Parfait Remake
From Entergram and NekoNyan we get the announcement of Parait Remake, also coming to Steam soon.
“Brick Mall” is a huge shopping center that has been designed with a medieval European town motif.
With the grand opening set to take place in a few months, it’s beginning to be more aggressive in their attempts to lure in popular restaurants.“famille” is a European-style antique coffee shop run by our hero, and his older sister-in-law, Ema.
They lost their previous location due to a fire, and while they’ve been closed they receive an invitation from Brick Mall to open a location there.
Seeing this as a chance to revive their shop, Hitoshi begins to gather the currently scattered staff.
One, then a second returns, but some do not.
Even though things aren’t going exactly to plan, once they’ve gotten to the point where they’re ready to open the shop, they see a sign for the shop directly opposite of them go up.
The name written on the sign is “curio”. It’s a European-style antique coffee shop that has the exact same kind of concept as famille.This makes sense, as famille is sort of based on curio.
We don’t stand a chance against the real deal?
As he deals with friends who are against the idea, all Hitoshi can do is try his best, even though he has no real chance of winning, and is short-handed on top of that.
Suddenly, a young lady named Yui appears before him, clad in the shop’s uniform and wanting to work at famille.
Her smile and her heart-catching singing voice make Hitoshi feel like they just might have a fighting chance.
And so as they hold onto a sliver of hope, they finally open the doors to the shop.
For some reason, Hitoshi ends up making a bet against one of the staff at the opposing shop, Rea, about who will have the best profits.
Having done so, he turns to his staff and declares,“Let’s take down curio!”
