Visual Novel ‘Liminal Border Part I’ Launches in the West on PC; Free Patch Available

Shirvune announced that the Purple Software-developed visual novel Liminal Border Part I is available now in the West on PC via Steam and Johren. The Steam release contains all-ages content, while Johren hosts the free patch to unlock the adult scenes, or you can purchase from Johren for the adult version.

Liminal Border tells the story of Itsuki Ninomae, an otaku who likes to make AMVs but never had much of a following. One day, he makes a special kind of video that arouses the viewers by mixing together famous anime scenes, creating something akin to an electronic drug. Though he’s initially frightened by the idea, he now craves more, becoming a full member of the underworld.

With the help of his childhood friend, Rin Akinashi, who hides a cunning demeanor behind her good manners and excellent grades, Itsuki starts getting involved in multiple illegal activities. He also ends up getting more intimate with the girls, whose voice actresses include Sazanami Suzu, Cyclamen Kaori, Alice Nene, and Momoyama Ion.

The story is written by Fumi Kazuki (9-nine-, Nanairo Reincarnation, Kimagure Temptation) with illustrations by Same Manma. The series is still ongoing in Japan, with the final two volumes, “3rd Offense” and “Life Sentence,” coming on an unannounced date.
