Curate, connect, and discover
I found some articles and the video about the new game by NIS. I tried my best to translate it but please take it with a grain of salt, any text that I’m unsure of will be mark purple. And any orange is my own thoughts
First I will site my sources

I will now try to summarize the game from what I read
Like the previous games the main protagonists are a duo of a human and a strange monster (goat)
The character designer is Sayaka Oda like in the previous game. However the planning and scenario is Kento Johana who work on Process of elimination and Bar Stella abyss.
Sayaka Oda was the planning and scenario for CKGH and LPBP, so the writing will be a little different. It not a bad thing, I’m looking forward to bar Stella localization and process of elimination look interesting. It just something to keep in mind.
The girl who’s suffering from trauma is stuck in a strange picture book like world and a library that house those books
The game will be darker then the previous games
I’m willing to bet this will be a tearjerker, that or it might dive into more mature subjects or just have scary moments in the game. The illusion of the goat monster eating the book case look creepy (cool) so I can’t wait to see more scary monsters by Oda.
“絵本から人間に戻すためには “ “To turn a picture book back into a human”
I think that mean to get out of the book and back to a human body, so
In order to get out of the picture book, You must collect “memory fragments”
With a goat who eat and destroy the books world and the girl who power can change the background(scenery) of the books
The game will have action and story unique to the world of picture books
This could mean two things, it would have unique gameplay that ties to the picture book aesthetic or the gameplay would be different in the different book the protagonist would go to. Ether way I’m looking forward to seeing more of this game.
