Our Next Project Teaser

Our Next Project... What Could It Be?


As for a certain other unannounced project that our Esoteric Legacy Games studio has been working on as well… It’s not something we can tease too much of just yet, but if you enjoy compelling characters, a strong story, and classic RPG gameplay, stay tuned for future announcements!

New Character Outfits

Many of your favorite characters are getting brand-new cute and sexy outfits for all sorts of exciting new scenes and situations!

Himura Cheri (Swimsuit)


Himura Cheri (Swimsuit)


Cheri may be a smart girl, but even the most prodigious student needs time for fun in the sun. When not splashing about in the waves or enjoying some refreshing ice cream, Cheri likes to spend her time helping to clean the trash from the beach and keep it pristine.

Watanabe Kotone (Gothic Lolita Idol)

Watanabe Kotone (Gothic Lolita Idol)


Kotone’s desire to enter into the world of pop idols may not be as innocent as she lets on at first. A macabre appreciation for cemeteries, classic styles and gallows humor inspired by her late sister reveals more about who she really is behind the mask.

Hamasaki Michi (RPG Dark Elf)


Hamasaki Michi (RPG Dark Elf)


Michi takes the form of a dark elf slave in Tairana’s twisted fantasy role-playing world. Dark elves are known for their cruel, lewd and shameless acts, and Michi gets depicted as ready and willing for you to yank her chain as hard as you please. Is she more trouble than she’s worth?

Oshiro Renga (Underwear)


Oshiro Renga (Underwear)

Making it to Renga’s bedroom can be a bit of a messy adventure, but shows a great deal about how trusting and laid back she’s become with you around. Armed with nothing more than a tank top and striped panties, she’s ready to be your gamer girl waifu.

Hisakawa Tairana (RPG Evil Witch)

Hisakawa Tairana (RPG Evil Witch)


In Tairana’s fantasy world, she is the supreme top witch in this relationship. Your most trusted companion and worst nightmare. Where will your adventures together take you, and will she simply allow you to win? Rocks fall, everyone dies.

Tomi Turnip (Fancy Dress)

Tomi Turnip (Fancy Dress)


Back in America, Tomi is no stranger to elegant balls or politically intriguing events, rubbing shoulders with the elite of society. Pampered and dolled-up like a princess, it’s no surprise that Tomi has taken this look into everyday life where she expects much of the same attention.

Tsukada Tsuki (Lingerie)

Tsukada Tsuki (Lingerie)


By the time you’ve made it to Tsuki’s bedroom, you’re already more than aware of what you want. She’s pulling out all the stops and stopping you from pulling out. No shame here, dear reader… this game supports one-handed play.

Background Artwork Samples

Our new backgrounds have been carefully crafted to deliver an atmospheric experience worthy of Crimson Sunrise’s story and characters. Each location has its own story, as you’ll find out for yourself!

Arcade


Arcade


This downtown arcade features all the games and prizes that schoolkids dream of, and makes a hot date spot for friends and couples alike.



Downtown Shinku City (Night)


Downtown Shinku City (Night)


The nightlife in downtown Shinku City rivals even parts of Tokyo, as many businesses are open late to cater to any need of the citizenry.


Cocytus Convenience Store


Cocytus Convenience Store


Conveniently located in the heart of downtown Shinku City, Cocytus supposedly gets its name from all the delicious frozen treats it has on offer. It claims to ‘Never Betray Your Expectations!’


Hideki’s House Hallway (Day)


Hideki's House Hallway (Day)


Hideki’s house is similar to other student living accommodations in his neighborhood, and most of his neighbors are students as well. He’s not the best interior decorator, but his parents provided him with as many things as possible to make it feel like home.


Neighborhood (Night)


Neighborhood (Night)


Hideki’s neighborhood is rather quiet, which is just how he likes it. Most of the lights and noise come from studying students, not wild party animals.


Hinode Academy (Evening)


Hinode Academy (Evening)


The evenings at Hinode Academy are filled with extra-curricular after-school activities, club meetings, and students hanging out together.


Hinode Academy (Night)


Hinode Academy (Night)


Few school faculty remain at Hinode Academy late into the night, except for teachers grading a backlog of papers. Still, strange lights and figures moving across the school grounds have been reported…


Shinku Shrine Path


Shinku Shrine Path


The shrine atop Shinku Mountain was not originally built for casual tourists, but for devout religious priests and pilgrims. This is one such reason why many find it difficult to ascend its lengthy stairs, especially if they are lacking in faith.
