Usotsuki Hime to Moumoku Ouji, or Liar Princess and the Blind Prince, is a project conceived by a female web designer and selected to become a game as part of a yearly contest held within Nippon Ichi Software. It is characterized by its hand-drawn picture book-style visuals, and tells a heartrending love story of the interactions between a monster that takes the form of a princess, and a blind prince. Platforms, genre, and release window were not announced.

Project Nightmare

Project Nightmare, which is still without an official title, is a horror adventure game that uses live-action video. Platforms and release window were not announced.

Disgaea Remake
