欠損失愛 News

It has been a while, but I am pleased to be able to provide further news to the victims of the “Limb-Severing Devil Case”!


I joined itch.io's game jam “Otome Jam” at the end of June.

The English translation, which was a machine translation, was proofread and I was able to renew the English version of the demo version!
English Proofreading: Leo BERTIN, Erin LAVAUX (Tawaci™️ Media)


I will also participate in the Steam feature page “East Asia Indie Games Celebration” starting on Tuesday, August 5!



A new system flowchart has also been added that allows you to resume from your favorite scene.
This feature makes it easier to collect scenes of the protagonist's death in game over.

The full voice demo version will be available in early August.
Please subscribe to our wish list and wait!

(I am also planning to replace the English screenshots and video on the store page, but it's a bit of work and will take a while longer!)




[h3]I will be opening a fan Discord server for “Severed Love” and “Romp of Dump”.[/h3]

I will provide the following support to the Association of Victims of the “Limb-Severing Devil Case”.

• Be the first to receive game updates and other information
  
• Development progress not yet posted on SNS
  
• Live streaming to see developing scenes in real time
  
• Daily reports on Steam wishlist (!?)
  
• Communicate with developers by asking questions
  
• Post feedback and fan art and interact with other fans
  

The main language of the server will be Japanese, but you can communicate with the developers via machine translation.

I welcome people who are not chatty!
There is no voice chat on the server. I will not force you to greet or communicate with anyone.

[h3]The official Discord server will be officially opened in early August, as well as the trial version on Steam![/h3]




[h3]I have been given the opportunity to exhibit the full-voice demo version of “Severed Love” at BitSummit the 13th, the largest indie game event in Japan![/h3]

It will be one of the 18 Japanese-born indie games on display at booth at Tokyo Indies, a developer exchange event.
Thank you very much to everyone involved with Tokyo Indies for this valuable opportunity!

The demo version of the new August version of Severed Love will include additional titles for the “In-Game Commercial Project”.

Unfortunately, save data from the previous version will not be carried over, but even those who have already played the game will find the content to be a novelty!
I hope that both newcomers and those who have already been victims will enjoy the game even more.

Have you noticed that there is always an image playing on the TV in the confinement room?
Actually, as part of the “Project for commercials in the game” to introduce Japanese indie games, I have obtained permission from the developers I am in contact with to incorporate this into the demo version!

You will also be able to watch a short PV in the panoramic exploration in the second half of the demo version. Please check out the TV!

Here are some of the participating works in the “Project for commercials in the game”!

[h3]『Romp of Dump』[/h3]
This is the previous work that is the spin-off source of the Severed Love.

[h3]『Animaloid Girl』[/h3]
The game is planned, Live2D, scenario, etc. by the developer, Zakurosuke.

[h3]『Counsel for the bestcution』[/h3]

https://store.steampowered.com/app/3461460/_/
I will consider adding game commercials in the future!


Crystal Game Works is participating in the Steam event page “Otome Games Celebration”!
This is a special page featuring only Otome games, mainly from English-speaking countries.
https://store.steampowered.com/sale/otomegamescelebration

This event is one of the reasons why I decided to extend the release of the trial version!
I would be happy if anyone could see “Severed Love” from here.

[h3]Listen to the stereophonic full voice of immorality!!![/h3]

I would like to thank all the victims of the “Limb-Severing Devil Case” who played the full-voice demo version!

[h3]As of 5/7/2025, the number of Steam wish list registrations has exceeded 3300, and the trial version has been able to reach 1500 downloads and 12 reviews![/h3]

The life-size “Limb-Severing Devil” is also pleased.
(This is a scene from the recent real event “Tokyo Game Dungeon 8”.)



Although I felt mentally and physically limited to release two consecutive days with the Chinese version of my previous work “Romp of Dump”, I am relieved to think that I have left something other than emptiness behind...!

https://store.steampowered.com/app/3412110/_/



[h3]“Severed Love” was displayed at the offline event as well as on the Steam event page of the “MGN Indie Game Carnival”.[/h3]


It seems that many people were also able to watch the live game streaming!
Seeing the cosplay customers and the Niconico Douga-style flowing comments made us happy to realize that we had been enjoyed by all the geeks in Greater China!

[h3]I am extending the distribution period of the full voice trial version until 【Tuesday, 2025/5/27】![/h3]
I feel it is permissible to use the words “Due to popular demand” now.

At the time of its release, there was little visible response, and I regretted that we “probably shouldn't have thoughtlessly released it to the public...” But perhaps it was not that, but rather the fact that the release period was too short was thoughtless.

I will be exhibiting at real events, online events, and posting on the Steam event page through the second half of May.

I am aiming to create not only a work that is honest about the fetishism of missing parts, but also a “female-oriented version of a good adventure game”, and we hope that the trial version will convey this to you!

I will continue to be active in the dark so that we can involve as many people as possible in the “Limb-Severing Devil Case”...

There are only four days left of the major holidays in Japan.
The release period for the full voice demo version of “Severed Love” will soon be halfway through.

Thank you to everyone who played the demo version and became a victim of the “Limb-Severing Devil Case”!
I am very happy to hear that the “stereophonic full voice” and “Live2D character customization,” which were officially implemented in the Steam version, have been well received.

[h3]At this point, it looks like I've been able to surpass 1000 downloads, and I've already received 8 highly positive reviews, which is more than I could have imagined![/h3]
I'm not sure if the “10 reviews” goal that indie game developers often have applies to the demo version as well... but it's tremendously encouraging, and I'd be very happy if you could submit a review.

↓ You can submit your review from the store page dedicated to the demo version here!

https://store.steampowered.com/app/3572980/_Demo/



The reason I decided to release the demo version was because I was given the opportunity to participate in two Steam event pages.

Some of you may have looked at this work from the event page. Thank you so much!

[h2]①MGN Indie Game Carnival[/h2]
https://store.steampowered.com/sale/mgn2025

Not only was I invited to the event, but to my surprise, the game was played live by MGN officials!

Many people watched and commented on ACFUN, especially in China, and the “too niche” response made me smile!

[h2]②Tokyo Game Dungeon 8[/h2]
https://store.steampowered.com/curator/44802688/sale/TokyoGameDungeon8

Here is the feature page for exhibits at Tokyo Game Dungeon 8, a Japanese indie game event.
I will also be exhibiting “Severed Love” tomorrow, Sunday, May 4!


Apparently this game is high on the “TOP DEMOS” list! (As of yesterday it was first place!)
This may just be a coincidence, but this game's full voice and missing limbs are inevitable.



Japanese gaming media Dengeki Online has published a review article of the demo version!

📰Click here to read the review article: https://dengekionline.com/article/202505/41257

They introduced in detail not only the story and game system, but also the Live2D character customization and the unique characteristics of the game, such as the rebellious, limb-missing protagonist!
There are also various screenshots that are not on the store page.

If you don't have time to play the demo version, this article will give you an idea of the atmosphere.

Don't worry, there are no spoilers that seem to be spoilers in the demo episodes. The main character is missing a limb, because it's an open secret!


I will plan to re-release the demo version, so there is no need to force yourself to play it now.
Instead, if you are at all interested in the game, I would be glad if you would add it to your wish list and keep it in a corner of your memory. Limb-Severing Devil, too.
(Steam wish list registration of 3000 is just around the corner!)
