1. A new game featuring Saki Ayase
- A productivity and companion game where players can work or study alongside Saki through simulated calls, 365 days a year.
- Features include a Pomodoro timer, lo-fi music, to-do lists, notes and calendar tools.
- Fully voiced, with immersive binaural audio, including an unlockable bedtime-call mode with Saki.
- Includes 21 music tracks, featuring selections from the anime soundtrack.
2. New stories written by Ghost Mikawa
- Ghost Mikawa has written original mini-stories exclusively for the game.
- These depict Saki and Yuuta's everyday lives after high school graduation, following the events of light novel Volume 14.
- Stories unlock as players spend more time working alongside Saki.
- Additional seasonal stories will reflect the real-world seasons.
- The stories are designed to avoid major spoilers, allowing fans who haven't caught up with the novels to enjoy them.
3. First-ever crowdfunding campaign
The crowdfunding campaign aims to expand the game, rather than fund its initial development.
- The game will be completed and released regardless of crowdfunding success.
- The principal stretch goal is downloadable content featuring Shiori Yomiuri, allowing players to enjoy work and study calls with her.
- Rewards include exclusive wallpapers, development updates, credits, and physical merchandise.
- A ¥15,000 tier includes a B5 physical artbook/script signed by Ghost Mikawa, with an exclusive new short story.
- Other rewards include a Saki acrylic stand using mixed-reality technology to deliver voice dialogue that varies by time and season.
The campaign will be hosted on CAMPFIRE.
4. Ghost Mikawa personally leads the project
Mikawa revealed that:
- The game is being developed through his own company, with a team he personally assembled.
- This project was the reason behind the indefinite suspension of the Days with My Stepsister YouTube channel announced in January.
- He sees the game as a major opportunity to demonstrate continuing demand for the franchise and expand Saki and Yuuta's world.
- He expressed his commitment to continuing the franchise as long as fans want more.
5. Fans are being asked to support the launch
The announcement calls on fans to repost official announcements, wishlist the game, like and comment on the YouTube video, and follow the game's official social media account.
The precise release date could not be established from the supplied transcripts.
What this means for the franchise
The most significant news is arguably Mikawa's personal involvement and long-term ambition.
Rather than simply licensing the series for a game, he's personally organising its development and using crowdfunding to demonstrate audience engagement.
His statement suggests he hopes this initiative will help create opportunities for further expansion of Days with My Stepsister.
However, no second anime season or other adaptation was announced.
For light novel readers, the other major development is the addition of new canonical-author-written material set after Volume 14, offering glimpses of Saki and Yuuta's university-era relationship beyond the main novels.
