Development Log #6

Happy New Year!🎉🎉

We hope you’ll continue to support ROCOCO GAMES and The Perfect Prince this year as well!

Today, we’d like to share a little more about the game’s world, along with the introductory sequences we were working on toward the end of last year.

A boy from the real world wanders into a picture-book fairy tale

※Sorry, only the Japanese version is available at this time.

From a demo version currently in development. We’re planning to polish the presentation a bit more.

The original story—and the absence of its prince

And that’s how it all connects to our catchphrase:

“In the world of a picture book you wandered into, there was a prince who looked just like you...”

What kind of ending will the boy bring about…??

--

The characters themselves are aware that they live within a crafted story world, so you’ll encounter plenty of meta dialogue and moments along the way.

The protagonist boy is mostly silent—a neutral, colorless presence. Our goal is for “the protagonist’s story” to become the reader’s (the player’s) story, and we’ve put a lot of care into shaping the narrative with that experience in mind.

There’s so much more we’d love to talk about when it comes to the world and its lore, but since much of it is best experienced firsthand in the game, we’ll stop here for now.

As always, thank you for your continued support of ROCOCO GAMES and The Perfect Prince!

P.S.

We really should’ve embedded the news videos from YouTube sooner…

There was a 5MB limit, so every time we had to turn them into GIFs, trim the length,

and struggle to get decent compression.🫠
