■Message from the Planning/Development Team

【Main Scenario Writer: Takumi Miyajima】
I am Takumi Miyajima, the scenario writer for the "Devil Prince and the Puppet" that helped build the scenario and the world setting for this title.

It is an honor for me to be able to lend a hand in creating this rather dark and bewitching title. I will be careful not to taint this beautiful world of "Devil Prince and the Puppet" as it grows to walk on its own feet.

My mission is to deliver the shadows that both devils and angels possess, into the player's heart.

【Character Designs: Domino Ozaki】
I am Domino Ozaki, doing the character designs and art direction for "Devil Prince and the Puppet." I thank you all who supported me to make this happen.

The character designs of "Devil Prince and the Puppet" are specifically tailored for each character to reflect their characteristics both internally and externally.

The team and I strive to deliver the characters as lively as possible within the story written by Miyajima-san.

We will continue to work hard to deliver the world of "Devil Prince and the Puppet" around the globe in the best condition possible!

【Director Mikami (Liber Entertainment Inc.)】
We thank everyone supporting "Devil Prince and the Puppet", I am Mikami, the director of this title.

I thank you for this occasion allowing me to explain briefly about this title. When this project started, the first thing that came to my mind when I joined the team was to "deliver the best possible character experience with Devil Prince and the Puppet to the fans around the world." That goal is still held to this day, and the voices from fans are what keeps us driving to make that happen.

I understand there are many fans waiting for the release of "Devil Prince and the Puppet." We will do our best to bring the characters to you as soon as possible.

We thank you for supporting "Devil Prince and the Puppet"!

【Producer Ikeda (Drecom Co., Ltd.)】
I am Ikeda from Drecom, the producer of "Devil Prince and the Puppet."
We are glad to finally announce the dev team and the expected release period of the title.

We had to go through a very long way until finally being able to announce that the release will be in 2023. Since the initial announcement of this title, we went through many iterations and changes with the development due to the company lacking the experience with titles aimed for the female demographic. There were many obstacles and differences compared to ordinary gaming titles. Fortunately, we were able to form a partnership with Liber Entertainment, which boosted the project's progress with their extensive knowledge over the genre.

We greatly appreciate the patience that the fans of "Devil Prince and the Puppet" have shown us, and we will work harder to meet the expectations.
