Wishlist Stray Children On Steam Right Now!

Attention all Onion Games fans outside Japan… the time has actually come! You can now…

GO WISHLIST STRAY CHILDREN ON STEAM!

Over the past many months, we’ve not only been preparing an English version of the game for the rest of the world to play, we’ve also been preparing it for your desktop or Steam Deck! And it’s coming along great!

If this is the first you’ve hearing of it, a quick recap: Stray Children is a bittersweet fairytale RPG, created by many of the same people behind beloved cult-classics like Chulip, Little King’s Story, Rule of Rose, Super Mario RPG, and, of course, Moon: Remix RPG Adventure, the game we re-released in English in 2021.

Here’s a little teaser from the Steam page description:

Somewhere, in our world, there’s a secret room, in a secret place, filled top to bottom with ancient technology.

When one young boy flips the switch on a curious old console, they’re suddenly whisked away, through the screen, into a very strange somewhere else: a long-since forgotten role playing game.

Blinking awake in this peculiar new place, they find themselves in a land of children.

Outside this stronghold’s walls lurk The Olders: monstrous adults, carrying the heavy load of their own inadequacies, self-doubt, and all of the grievances that grown-ups gather.

Rumor has it that these creatures are starving for something, and that — out there — no one and nowhere is safe.

Can you survive in this world where half-crazed adults lurk around every corner?

It’s here — in this funny, mysterious, and wildly dangerous domain — that your story begins.

We hope you’re intrigued enough to go wishlist the game on Steam right now!

There’s still some work to be done and future details to give, so to stay on top of the latest news, please:
