*PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS IS AN EARLY PREVIEW BUILD. ALL INTERFACE ELEMENTS ARE THE REN'PY DEFAULTS UNTIL CUSTOM UI CAN BE PROPERLY IMPLEMENTED.

WE ALSO STRONGLY RECOMMEND PLAYING ON PC OVER MOBILE IN THIS EARLY BUILD AS SOME CHOICE BOXES MAY BE DIFFICULT TO READ WITHOUT SCROLLING OVER.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR UNDERSTANDING!*

PLOT SYNOPSIS:

A bored third-year student in Japan’s Shinchoku High School is looking to change his ways after having accomplished nothing throughout his high school career. By chance, he meets a mysterious masked girl who introduces him to the world of professional wrestling, which begins a year of his life that turns out to be as exciting as the ones portrayed in the squared circle…

Full project DEEtails (including production credits and planned features/project status/etc.) are available at our main site!

I don't like visual novels but I like the style and it really tickles my nostalgia for wrestling!

This game fits my life right at this moment High school starts soon and it seems so different i can't wait to try new things.
