Spanish developer 1564 Studio is pleased to officially present the demo of their new game, the visual novel The Mysteries of Ranko Togawa Vol. 2: The Girl Who Wasn’t There, and confirm its launch on PC via Steam and Itch.io in 2025.
In this demo, you'll be able to read the prologue of the story with the actual assets from the game. You'll see that there are many changes with respect to the previous entry in the series, Murder on the Marine Express, including the possibility of making decisions, a feature that seemed long awaited by everyone. It's just on Itch-io for now, but it will be up on Steam pretty soon, so you can wishlist the game for the time being. We hope you enjoy this first glimpse of Ranko and Astrid's new adventure and that you continue to support us during the development.
Regarding this, we just started a crowdfunding on Kickstarter to face the production of the game. For such a challenge, we looked for three of the most capable artists there exist (Izucchi, our character designer; Frogapples, our background creator; and Saria Lemes, our composer), so we'll invest that money in making sure that we produce the best possible version of The Girl Who Wasn't There. We hope you can support us in this fundraising campaign, but even if you can't, we'll be happy enough if you help us spreading the word. Here's the link to the campaign: Kickstarter.com
