Osomatsu-san THE GAME: Hectic Employment Advice ~Dead or Work~
(おそ松さん THE GAME はちゃめちゃ就職アドバイス ~デッド オア ワーク~・Osomatsu-san THE GAME Hacha Mecha Shuushoku Adobaisu ~Deddo oa Waaku~)
Those sextuplets are back again?!
The legendary sextuplets who were famous over a whole generation have revived once again!
From the Showa era, long, long ago,
was an infamous gag manga that was known all over Japan,
‘Osomatsu-kun’,
and the original anime that was the perfect way to end the era.
Now that the streets have all changed, so have their lifestyles.
The sextuplets have also secretly grown in their own ways and have returned!
Living in the same house as before, Osomatsu-san and the others are still living in a my-pace way after becoming adults.
What are these characters, full of personality, like now…?!
To celebrate Akatsuka Fujio’s 80th birthday, the Osomatsu-san anime was made, reviving the once legendary work.
And now it’s back again!
As a game.

ひとりごと 
As you said, Otomate also announces many games outside of OtoPa, so I’m not worried…. I bet they’re also working on something else! They probably just realized that they still haven’t released games announced last year, Fortissimo for example, so they have to focus on those for now…. anyway, I’m really happy for Klap FD and Nihil admirari sequel, so i’m not complaining!

aaaaah I really hope so!!!!;v;;; lol a part of me is convinced that they’ve given up on fortissimo and are just waiting for everyone to hopefully forget about it wwwww it’s been so long since any info about it’s come out……..
I haven’t played any of the games getting FDs/sequels but I’m happy for you!!!!( ´ ▽ ` ＊)

i’m not that interested too… (´；ω；`) among these projects, I think I will be keeping an eye on Chouchou Jiken because I love Aya Shouoto (I read her mangas) and Variable Barricade also looks interesting

I’m with ya on uncomfortable vibes from chouchou jiken, not quite sure how to phrase it but these kinds of games are just not my thing www (also the smelling thing is creepy).
The osomatsu game is bizarre but I’m actually really tempted to get it for the heck of it, Variable barricade looks like it could be really fun, esp if they play up the amusing…ness of random proposals, and Sengoku Night Blood looked pretty fun… but then I noticed it was a mobile game rip. But I guess I’ll hang around and wait for more info on all of them ;0
(also I just discovered your blog a while ago, and your translations are great ! Seems like a lot of eng otome news blogs and sites are on hiatus rn, I would like to but rarely have the energy or time to translate news, so I’m really glad someone has picked up doing them…!)

You should check out some Shouoto Aya’s works, they are actually quite good lol. I have a feeling that the writing/plot for Chouchou Jiken will be lolz by the looks of how they introduce the game hahaha. As you had said, too much sengoku games this year. This just shows that they are running out of ideas or the writers that are actually decent all packed their bags and left so they had to throw out mobages and sequels to keep the company alive. Looking forward to your reviews and thoughts of the arriving games!
