Qureate has announced the release of Prison Princess: Trapped Allure, a puzzle-solving adventure game for the Nintendo Switch and PC via Steam and serves as a sequel to 2020’s Prison Princess.
The new game is set to release on November 21 and will cost $20 (2,780 yen) and feature support for English, Japanese, and Chinese.
Qureate, a small Japanese game developer, has found success by focusing on fanservice-heavy games aimed at a “gentlemen” demographic, with titles like Maid of the Dead and Bunny Garden driving their growth.
Their approach of targeting a clear, niche audience has allowed them to expand steadily, setting them apart from other companies that face financial struggles and closures fixating upon progressive radical ideologies.
