Beta-Sixdouze Out Now on Steam and Johren

TOKYO, JAPAN – February 10, 2023.

Today Shiravune is proud to announce the release of Liar-soft's BETA-SIXDOUZE, available in English and Traditional Chinese. For a limited time after release, BETA-SIXDOUZE will be available for a 20% discount.

Set in the same in-game universe as last year's ALPHA-NIGHTHAWK, this boy-meets-girl sci-fi “standalone sequel” boasts new romances, mechs, and mankind's rosiest menace yet!

Steam: https://store.steampowered.com/app/2051110/
Johren (18+): https://www.johren.games/games/download/betasixdouze-en/

INTRO
Approximately 380,000 kilometers from Earth, a monstrous rose blooms just beyond the night sky, its silhouette glowing ominously in the moonlight. No one knows when it will strike again, and its true name and intentions remain unconfirmed. Humans know it only as “Consuelo.”

Enter Yosuke Hakone, a combat pilot with Earth's military entrusted with an unlikely mission: to take to the stars in the legendary Battle-SHEEP Sura with his mysterious new copilot Hanaco... and defeat humanity's greatest threat!

But with Hanaco's regressions and Yosuke's own intergenerational inner demons to overcome, will this mismatched pair get it together in time? And just who is Hanaco, really...?

The second in Dento Nanahoshi and Liar-soft's STX-SF series following ALPHA-NIGHTHAWK, this space opera sequel is for the starry-eyed dreamer in all of us–a nostalgic nod to the old adage that what's essential is invisible to the eye.

CHARACTERS
Yosuke Hakone
Voice: Noboru Yajima

The STX Space Force's newest captain. Rank: Silver Star.
Promoted to Battle-SHEEP pilot due to his selfless nature,
he's ready to lay down his life for the mission–and humankind.

However, as the grandson of a notorious war criminal,
his morality often stems from misplaced shame and guilt.
Thanks to Hanaco, he learns to face his demons for the first time...

“You and me together make 612! You got that, Hanaco?!”

Hanaco
Voice: Suzu Sazanami

Yosuke's mysterious new copilot, a bona-fide Blue Star,
and a wunderkind at channeling vast amounts of pure sel.

This girl's all at once honest, simple, and the purest of heart.
Though no fault of her own, she often fails to read the room.
Tends to take conversations and social cues at face value.

“Got it. I'll fight with you, Yosuke!”

Jean Valjean
Voice: Amando Rikuhongi

Neo-fennec no. 24601. Nickname: Jean Valjean.
Yosuke's personal SHEEP mechanic and closest pal.
A jokester and the life of the party, but always first to lend an ear.

“I know that face. You can't help but fall in love, can you?”

Antoine de Sagan
Voice: Musubi Aono

A '39 survivor and ex-STX-SF commander and pilot.
Sports honey-wheat hair and sapphire eyes.
Prefers the more manly “Sagan” over “Antoine”...

even on my own.”

Wolf
Voice: Stallone

An STX Space Force general and Blue Star military hero. Holds the current record for most Consuelos defeated.
Has now retired from the front lines to organize his Elites...

That's all there is to it.”

Eliza

An “artificial goddess” created by the scientist Jean Regulus.
Her mind stems from free will first found in electric SHEEP.

Excels at loving conversations, overseeing the online mental care of Battleship Baobab's residents as their foremost psychiatrist.

Her ageless, eternal beauty is an inspiration to many a Baobabian woman.
She and Wolf are close companions. Literally doesn't have a heart.

“You're right... All I can do is learn from humans'
conversations and repeat the most apt words.”

Origin
Voice: Kumio Okugawa

Neo-fennec no.??? Age unknown.
Yosuke and Jean Valjean's enigmatic landlady.
