- Steam Achievements and an Update on the English Release - 27 September 2026
Hello everyone!I hope you're all doing well.I know many of you are looking forward to the English release, but I also have some news for everyone playing the Japanese version. First, for our English-speaking players:The English version of 【Journey of Reincarnation】 will be released on "November 17", when the Auto-Battle RPG Fest begins. In preparation for the English release, I have just released a patch adding support for "Steam Overlay screenshots and video recording", which has been requested for some time. Along with this, "9 Steam Achievements" have been added. The achievements are designed to serve as natural milestones as you play, rather than placing restrictions on how you play the game. Please note that the achievements do "not" sync with your existing save data. If you want to unlock the achievements, you will need to replay the relevant parts of the game. ≪Save Data Migratio…
- Notice regarding the postponement and timing of the English version release. - 12 June 2026
The English localization is progressing smoothly! I originally hoped to release the English version by the end of June. However, I've decided to target Steam's Auto Battler RPG Fest this November instead. I believe this event will be the best opportunity for the game to reach players who enjoy auto-battle RPGs. The additional time will also allow me to further polish the game and deliver the best possible experience to English-speaking players. Thank you for your patience and support.

- When will the English version be released? - 19 July 2025
This is an announcement about the release date of the English version.We are currently working on the English version with the goal of releasing it in January 2026.It's not a big project, but since it's a side job,it's progress is slow.Also, because I want to complete the work in my own words,rather than extracting files and translating them with a machine,I, the developer (although I'm not very good at English),scrutinize the nuances of the words one sentence at a time,so it takes a lot of time.However, I think it's very important to communicate in your own words, even if it takes time and is clumsy,so I hope you will understand that it will keep those who are looking forward to playing the game in English waiting.MSBgamedev: Masabokuri

- English support for the main game - 1 June 2025
In preparation for the release of the retail version on June 27, 2025, Japan time, we have submitted the build review for the retail version and are currently waiting for the review to pass. At the same time, we are working hard on the final sprint to further improve the completeness of the game by test playing, reviewing the text, adjusting the balance, etc. In addition, we have temporarily unchecked the "English Support" box for the retail version. The English version is scheduled to be released as scheduled, but after the release of the retail version, we will make further balance adjustments and fix bugs, and after the response after the release of the Japanese version has settled, we will create the English version, so we have changed the display to prevent English-speaking users from mistaking it for the new version and purchasing it. We hope that those in English-speaking countri…
- All the songs in the demo version are now original compositions! - 19 February 2025
Around 7pm on February 19th, 2025 Japan time As a common update for both the English and Japanese demo versions, we have updated all the music used in the game to original songs! Until now, we have prioritized completing the system and used free sound sources for the in-game music, but with this update, all 9 songs used in the demo are original songs! The music was composed by composer "Aomo Akane", who also works as a Mix Engineer and provides music for indie games. In the final version, we have asked him to provide us with over 20 songs to be used in the game, so we have been working hard to create them! In addition, we plan to release a collection of these songs as an original soundtrack at the same time as the release, so please look forward to it! MSBgamedev: Masabokuri
- Localization of the English version of the DEMO has been completed! - 21 December 2024
Around 16:00 on December 21, 2024, Japan time The localization data for the English version of the demo has been updated. As a result, all English versions of the demo have been translated into English. To all players who have been waiting for this update, please try playing it as a companion for the holiday season! In addition, we have included a fix for the freeze bug that some players have experienced in the patch, so that you can enjoy the game as comfortably as possible. If there are any missing translations in the English localization, please post in the thread in the store and we will respond as soon as possible after confirming it, so we would appreciate it if you could let us know. Again, I have had a lot of things happen to me this year, but thanks to the support of many people, I am recovering and I am able to continue my activities while aiming to return to society. Thank yo…
- Japanese and English DEMO common update [2024.12.7] - 7 December 2024
Around 13:00 on December 7th, Japan time We have updated the Japanese and English demo versions. If you downloaded and played the game before this, we apologize for the inconvenience, but please update from the store. In addition, if you continue playing from a backup save in the dungeon after this update, we recommend starting a new game, as there is a risk that the game will not load properly. - The prologue BGM has been updated with a new song, "Unpath" by composer Aomo Akane. - Some lines that do not need to be repeated during the replay have been modified so that they are cut after being displayed once. - Fixed so that items obtained when defeating the secret boss can be carried over between replays. - Lines for characters that can be recruited that were not translated into English have now been translated, so a patch has been applied so that they will be displayed in English. That…
- English and Japanese DEMO common update - 14 November 2024
At around 14:00 on November 14, 2024, Japan time An update patch was applied to the Japanese and English demo versions. If you downloaded and played the game before this, please update from the store. In addition, restarting from within a dungeon using the backup autosave may not start the game properly. We recommend that you start a new game. - Events where you encounter characters that can be recruited have been limited to the 1st floor. Until the previous build, the characters that could be encountered in the dungeon appeared separately on the 1st and 2nd floors. Because of this, if you were unable to encounter the desired companion on the 1st floor you had to go to the 2nd floor with fewer members. In addition, if you had a full team on the 1st floor, even if a character you wanted to recruit appeared on the 2nd floor, you could not discharge the character and have them join. With t…
- English DEMO localization update - 2 November 2024
November 2, 2024, Japan time We have updated the localization of the English version of the demo. This means that the localization of the names of in-game items, equipment, and skills, as well as the help text, has been completed. We are also currently working on localizing the in-game event text. Please wait a little longer. If you downloaded and played the game before this update, we recommend updating it from the store and starting a new game. (There is no update for the Japanese version of the demo) MSBgamedev : Masabokuri
- Thank you for SteamNEXTFest. - 21 October 2024
The October 2024 SteamNEXTFest has ended. This was my first time at an event, but the response was greater than I expected, making it a very meaningful event. I would like to take this opportunity to express my gratitude. Thank you very much. We will continue to work diligently towards the final version. Now, starting today, we will continue localizing the English DEMO version, and our immediate goal is to complete it 100%. We expect to complete the localization by the end of November. As the translation is all done manually, we check it multiple times, but there may be typos. (Some words have been omitted due to character limit) If you have any concerns, please let us know on the forum. For those who wishlisted at SteamNEXTFest, it will take a while to complete, but we hope you will look forward to it. MSBgamedev: Masabokuri
- English DEMO localization progress report - 14 October 2024
We would like to announce that a localization translation patch for the English demo will be added around noon on October 14, 2024, Japan time. If you downloaded and played the game before this, please update it from the store. Also, if you are playing with save data from before this, the translation may not be reflected, so we recommend starting a new game. With this update, about 50% of the text in the trial version has been localized. We have been working on updating the game in line with SteamNEXTfest, but we are sorry that we were unable to reach 100%. However, we believe that the atmosphere of the game is enjoyable, so we hope that anyone who is interested will download it. Also, we do not plan to apply any correction patches during this festival event unless it is a serious bug. (To avoid new bugs such as progress data) Therefore, we plan to add a new localization patch as soon a…
- Tutorial update for Japanese DEMO version - 7 October 2024
Around 13:00 on October 7, 2024, Japan time The tutorial for the Japanese demo version has been updated. If you have downloaded and played the game before this date, please update it from the store and play it. In addition, the autosave data for dungeon data downloaded before this date may not be loaded properly, so we recommend that you select New Game. As for the changes to the tutorial, in the previous version, the fonts were not unified and the design was visually difficult to see, so we unified the design and divided up the information that was too crowded on one page to make it easier to understand. In addition, we have improved the text to be easier to read by using a font that can use kanji only for the tutorial (We have intentionally limited the use of kanji in the main game) so that the atmosphere of the game is not spoiled as much as possible. We have also prepared help text…
- Bug where the English version of the DEMO could not be downloaded - 7 October 2024
We changed the settings around 13:00 on October 7th, 2024 Japan time. Until now, we had been able to upload the English demo, but we discovered a bug where the settings were incorrect and the English demo was not being downloaded correctly from English-speaking countries. We have also conducted a download test and confirmed that it can be downloaded properly. We apologize for the inconvenience caused to English-speaking players. We will also be updating text that has not yet been localized from time to time, so please wait a little longer. MSBgamedev: Masabokuri
- Announcement regarding participation in SteamNextFest - 7 October 2024

In conjunction with this, we are working to update the tutorial for the previously released Japanese demo version to its final version. This will make the tutorial easier to read and provide more detailed information. The tutorial will also include rescue measures for those who get stuck. We are working to make the game available to a wider range of people, so please wait for the update. Although a build of the English version has been released, it is not 100% complete. We apologize for releasing the demo version in an incomplete state, as we wanted to have it ready for the event. We apologize for the inconvenience to those who wish to play the game in English-speaking countries. MSBgamedev: Masa…
