Maitetsu Pure Station Releases
January 17, in the year of our Lord 2020 – Maitetsu- Pure Station is out on January 16th. Players on PlayStation and Nintendo Switch can get a digital copy online. A Collectors Edition is also available at Wonder.Co and Bahamut.
Maitetsu- Pure Station is developed by Lose and published by Circle Entertainment. This adventurous visual novel will have a full Japanese voice-over with English, Chinese, and Japanese subtitles.
In Maitetsu, the main story revolves around the fight over water pollution of the river. The protagonist, Migita Sotetsu returns home to change the minds of those in charge of the factory proposal after hearing that an industrial factory is to possibly be built along a landmark river in his hometown of Ohitoyo. Although half of the town's citizens support the building of such a mill, the other half fear the potential for pollution and contamination of their beloved river.
It's during this time that Sotetsu comes across an android-like being--a "Raillord" named Hachiroku--while looking through his late adoptive father's belongings. Although inanimate, Hachiroku and Sotetsu forge a deep, unlikely connection, and from this bond, work together in hopes of restoring Ohitoyo to its former glory.
Despite being a game, Maitetsu- Pure Station provides a detailed Japanese railroad culture. Players can learn about these bits of knowledge while being entertained by the fascinating characters and storyline.
Alone with the digital copy, the Collectors Edition includes a deluxe artbook, physical copy for Nintendo Switch, 3D mouse pad, and summer hanging scroll from Maitetsu- Pure Station.
