Comment from Laura Ripoll Galán, CEO of Endflame
Nexting Official WebsiteWe at Endflame are thrilled to bring Instants to Japanese players, delivering an emotional story that transcends time.
This game was developed with the theme of connecting family moments through the memories captured in photographs.
We hope that each player resonates with the memories and emotions embedded in the game, creating a touching experience.
We are truly honored to partner with Nexting to bring this title to Japan.
Additionally, Japanese culture and its beautiful storytelling traditions have been a major inspiration for us.
Our first project, Ikai, was a horror game set in Japan's Sengoku era, and we were deeply moved by the warm reception from Japanese players.
With that same sense of gratitude, we are excited to share the world of Instants with our Japanese audience.
We sincerely hope that Japanese players will enjoy this heartfelt experience with us.
Comment from CHAPATA, Japanese Producer
Nexting Official WebsiteThe market is seeing a growing demand for casual and relaxing games, with titles like Unpacking, Stardew Valley, and Animal Crossing being prime examples.
Instants offers a similar cozy experience where players decorate a photo album while uncovering a heartwarming family story.
When I first saw this game, I was convinced that it would be something people would want to revisit time and time again.
It’s a game that can be played on the bed, sofa, or even during a commute, and it’s also fun to share albums and experiences with other players.
I believe Instants will bring smiles to many people across Japan.
