Little Anchor

Do you see that? Do you see the “SF” in the pic? Yes, this is the first EVER sci-fi otome game, being released next spring by D3 for the Playstation 2.

First things first – the characters!

Well, I guess the Americas are too boring to have astronauts on this ship *sniff*, but that’s ok.

Little Anchor – The first sci-fi otome game?

I finally got around to reading through D3′s site for its newest game, Little Anchor.

The story sounds very interesting – the main character is the captain of a spaceship! Awesome!

More about the setting: In the near future, the founding of a city on the moon allows science and our knowledge of space to improve rapidly. A worldwide organization, EUG, is founded to organize the new space activities, but like today, powerful countries decide things to their advantage. Another group forms in protest, the ICSEO, and war breaks out.

Several years (generations?) later, the EUG wants to make peace with ICSEO, and prepares to send a large spaceship as an olive branch. The main character, as the daughter of a hero, is chosen as captain, and a crew is chosen, all with their own peculiarities. However, as they’re preparing to launch, ICSEO starts a large attack on EUG, and the ship has to make an emergency take off.

Can the main character win the war and bring peace to the world, which is what her father wanted? That’s the object of Little Anchor, which is scheduled right now for Spring 2009.

I should be getting the December (really November but w/e) mags tomorrow, so maybe they’ll have some more info!
