- Price Adjustment Announcement for Chicago Project - 22 May 2026
Hello everyone,It has been a year and a half since the release of Chicago Project.This was the first independent game I ever officially released. Looking back on it now, it is still rough and inexperienced, with many things I would approach differently today. But it was also where everything began.Because of that, I’ve decided to permanently lower the price of Chicago Project. I hope that anyone who discovers this game through my later works, worldbuilding, narrative, or atmosphere can more easily return to this original starting point.At the same time, the Chicago Project setting collection will be removed from the store within the next week.Much of its content belongs to a very early stage of the project, and after thinking about it for a long time, I feel it should remain as part of that period rather than continue forward with the later works.Thank you all for your continued support…
