“MAMIYA is a captivating, dark mystery visual novel in which a group of young men struggle against existential dread before the end of the world.”
Steam
If that description sounds right up your alley, MAMIYA (Kenkou Land; Fruitbat Factory) might just be the game for you.
The first two parts of the story –”FallDown” and “DownFall”— initially released seperately at Comiket C91 and C93 in April 2021. A global release of both parts called MAMIYA – A Shared Illusion of the World’s End later hit Steam, itch.io, JAST USA and fruitbat factory’s store page.
Now, two years later, the story is set to conclude with the third part called DoomsDay Dreams, a simultaneous global release in Japanese and English. The English translation is headed by Andrew “Steiner” Hodgson, whose previous translation works most famously include the Science Adventure titles Steins;Gate and Anonymous;Code.
DoomsDay Dreams released on Steam as a DLC for MAMIYA and as part of a MAMIYA Complete Collection this past November 21st. The DLC is priced at $19.99 and the collection at $34.79. A special demo is now available on Steam and itch.io.
Story
Tokyo, during the year in which the world was prophesied to end.
As we clung to reality, too spineless to throw our lives away together, we met Mamiya.
At a friend’s funeral, the entire crowd was weeping and mourning, while we thought to ourselves that the death of a single person had no meaningful impact on the world at large.
We slept, woke up, and went through the same daily grind as ever. At least, that’s how it was supposed to be.
Then Mamiya appeared…
Before we even knew it, the mysterious child named Mamiya had wormed their way into our daily lives. They slowly, but surely, became something of an emotional support. They’d brought us down a new path.
A path that would surely lead us to our deaths…
