Sekai Project today shared a final release date for A light in the dark, a dramatic visual novel. It will be ready to leave on April 5, 2023.
The title had already been announced for Switch last June. Initially, it was planned for last fall.
A Light in the Dark on Switch includes the addition of Japanese language and voice acting, featuring the voice talents of Yurika Kubo (Hanayo Koizumi, Love Live!; Kikyo Kushida, Classroom of the Elite; Margaret Farom, The Legendary Hero Is Dead!) and Kana Ichinose (Ichigo, DARLING in the FRANXX; Yuzuriha Ogawa, Dr. Stone; Maki Shijou, Kaguya-sama: Love is War; Suletta Mercury, Mobile Suit Gundam: The Witch of Mercury).
A Light in the Dark puts you in the shoes of Hao-Chen Jiang, a young man who wakes up and finds himself tied to a chair in a dark, dreary room he doesn’t recognize. Before him stands a young woman with a knife who informs him that he has been kidnapped and is being held for ransom.
With more questions than answers, Hao-Chen must find a way to escape, but maybe there’s more to it than money…
The rich boy trapped in his everyday life that never changes… The fierce girl who fights to survive… Two people with completely opposite positions in life.
During their days of imprisonment, they will experience a world they have never known that will crumble before their deep-seated prejudices. Faced with the confusion and the choices available to them, what will they find…?
