Marks the first release in English for the novel series
Kodoani.com – Visual Arts/Key and Prototype announced on Friday that it will release a “novel” Planetarian ~the Reverie of a Little Planet & Snow Globe on Nintendo Switch on June 27. The release will feature Japanese text and audio in Japanese, English, French, Simplified Chinese, and Traditional Chinese.
Visual Arts/Key (Clannad, Rewrite, Angel Beats!) originally released the Planetarian “novel” in Japan on PC in 2004, before porting it to the PlayStation 2 and PlayStation Portable consoles. The story takes place 30 years after the world war caused space development to stagnate. The main character, simply called “The Junk Hunter”, tries to restore the planetarium's projector after meeting a robot.
Sekai Project licensed the PC version of the game and released it on Steam. Visual Arts has also released an English version for iOS. Game developer Prototype released a Nintendo Switch version of the game in January 2019.
