Kuroi Tsubasa

Kuroi Tsubasa is a linear visual novel with multiple paths, over 120,000 words of dialogue and a town to explore. You follow Kureha, a recently arrived office worker, and her new friends as they help Blackwing, a devil who escaped to the human world, deal with the shadow that split from his unchecked evil side and is causing trouble around town. Blackwing hopes to defeat the shadow and return to lazing in the sun.

The cast

Kureha is good-natured, well-mannered and loyal. She has recently moved to town for a job at an insurance company and keeps her fondness for MeTubers and idols secret. Blackwing narrates the story: arrogant and a little dim, he left the underground because its fire and brimstone did not suit him, but failed to keep his evil side in check.

Their companions include Puka, a mischievous office worker who loves retro manga and video games and often slacks off, and another anime-loving friend whose odd mannerisms make her a goofball. A large, intimidating man with a kind heart is getting by with odd jobs after failing his college entrance exams; Alize gave him part-time work at Kazoku Mart. The group also includes a cheerful high school student who enjoys sports and snacks, and is often at the city park with her friends.

Other figures in town include an unconventional street musician hoping to make good music and open listeners' hearts, though he has trouble connecting with the locals; Rurika, a mysterious, high-society beauty visiting a relative who knows a surprising amount about tea and hard liquor; and Kureha and Puka's egocentric, abusive team leader, who can also be diligent and proper. The local Kazoku Mart branch manager is a trendy young woman with an unusual way of speaking who hopes to leave town and make something of herself; she is also surprisingly smart. The main characters are based on actual VTubers.

Music and artwork

The game includes an original soundtrack of over 50 songs and dozens of high-quality art pieces.
