From Obscurity to Crowdfunding Success in Four Minutes—This Mobile-Game-Derived Galgame Did It!

In 2019, Visual Arts released an idle game called "False Alice: Idle World and the Immature Girl" (『偽りのアリス -放置世界と未熟な少女-』).

But when the game was on the verge of dying in 2023, it pulled off a bold move: as long as players paid enough to cover the server costs, the game would keep running even without updates.

Unexpectedly, these otaku literally brought the game back from the dead—good grief, they kept such a tiny game alive for two whole years!

VA was perhaps moved by this. And just a couple of days ago, it announced a crowdfunding project to turn this title into an ADV.

The crowdfunding campaign for 『偽りのアリス-Retold Tale-』 reached its 5-million-yen goal just four minutes after launch, and it has now raked in nearly 30 million yen. It seems this game's fans truly love it!

Still, with an initial goal of 5 million yen, one can't help feeling this title won't be very large in scale~

The crowdfunding campaign still has nearly two months to go, and VA is already busy preparing new stretch goals. Whether this mobile-game-derived galgame can keep up the momentum and soar, interested friends can go follow it~
