FuRyu has announced that a new project is in the works from Team Noir, the developer behind the turn-based RPG Monark.
The team said the following via their official Twitter account, translated by Gematsu:
“We are Team Noir, a game team dedicated to creating school RPGs that explore the charms of those who shine the brightest through the darkness of the human heart.
While Monark centered on desire and ego, we have begun work on a new project with a different theme. We hope you will all continue to give FuRyu’s Team Noir your support.”
We will keep you all updated on this mystery project.

If you missed it, check out our review of the game.
Monark takes place in Shin Mikado Academy, where the player character has just awoken. The academy lies beyond a barrier separate from the real world and is plagued by a Mist that can mentally overwhelm humans. Luckily, Daemonic powers reside in this world that can allow humans to survive, and you’ve just acquired the Authority of Vanity. From here, the player character and four others create the True Studen Council and fight against the darkness.
The gameplay features a balancing act between Authority and Madness, where using Authority will raise your MAD Gauge. When at max, you will attack enemies and allies. Further, players will utilize six characters with a free-movement battle system. The academy grounds can be explored to connect to the Otherworld, which leads to solving mysteries.
