■ About Witch & Lilies
Witch & Lilies is a 3D dungeon crawler with the theme of “romance between girls.” Players form a party of five girls from 10 different job classes as they navigate dungeons to unravel the mysteries of the witch who created the world. While it maintains a classic dungeon crawler format, it also allows one to savor various types of romantic relationships between girls.
This game conducted crowdfunding in September 2022, attracting significant attention among gamers and surpassing its funding goal by over 2100%. It is slated for release in early 2024.
■ Music production by the anime song label Lantis!
An unconventional collaboration between the up-and-coming game company Stromatosoft and the established anime song label Lantis! They have enlisted the sound production unit AstroNoteS, who are known for their contributions to The Idolm@ster Million Live! and the TV anime Wandering Witch: The Journey of Elaina, to create a soundtrack that will enhance the girls’ romance and the dungeon crawling elements.
