Idea Factory is teasing a new otome game announcement… and it might be the Birushana fandisc after all this time?!
Two days ago, Idea Factory International tweeted a short video along with the caption “Soon…” and an emoji of a leaf blowing on the wind, as well as otome tags.
It was clear they were teasing an otome game announcement, and the video suggested a Japanese setting, so all of us who have been waiting for the Birushana fandisc to be localized got hopeful again, even knowing there are other games they could be teasing instead.
Today, they followed up with another tweet, this time with a longer message: “Down the path you go, the winds guiding you. See you on 11/12”
Not only does this let us know when we’ll get this announcement (November 12), but it also feels like an even stronger hint toward Birushana. The Birushana fandisc has the subtitle “Ichiju no Kaze,” which involves the wind. The apparent Japanese setting plus the message about the wind feels like a hint toward this being their announcement.
I played Birushana back in 2022 and loved it, and I’ve been waiting for the fandisc ever since. At first I thought they were just waiting to release the Cupid Parasite fandisc first, but the more time has passed without the Birushana fandisc being localized, the more I worried we might not get it after all.
But now it looks like we’ve got a real chance! I’ve got my fingers crossed, but whatever IFI’s announcement is next week, I’ll be excited to find out. What do you think they’re teasing?
