Giraffe and Annika
Giraffe and Annika is the latest work from Saito Atsushi, founder of atelier mimina. He has previously worked on legendary titles such as the music battle action game Gitaroo Man and Osu! Tatakae! Ouendan before going independent. Giraffe and Annika is the product of four solid years of development. TOMZUIN H, renowned sound artist, led the work on sound design of the game and is responsible for the phenomenal soundtrack and even the environmental sound design of Giraffe and Annika.

A heartwarming world with 3D graphics and 2D comics
Spica Island is seamlessly rendered in 3D graphics by Unreal Engine 4, and the 2D comic-like scenes are fused together to create a cute world that can't help but make players feel warm and fuzzy on the inside. Please enjoy this relaxing adventure on a somewhat mysterious island that changes beautifully with the passage of time.
