posted on by Rafael Antonio Pineda
Sol Press announced on August 7 that it will release Laplacian's bishōjo visual novel Newton and the Apple Tree (Newton to Ringo no Ki) on Steam on Wednesday, August 15.
MiKandi Japan and Sol Press ran a successful Kickstarter campaign for the game from December to January. The campaign raised US$88,095 out of its initial goal of US$31,200.
Newton and the Apple Tree debuted for Windows in Japan in May 2017. The game is rated R-18. MiKandi Japan confirmed with ANN that Sol Press will also make an all-ages version of the game available.
The game has more than five endings. MiKandi Japan describes the story:
Newton and the Apple Tree centers around protagonist, Syuji Asanaga, and his childhood pal Yotsuko Utakane. They are on a mission to find Syuji's grandfather who has mysteriously vanished. The two somehow end up hurtling through the fabric of time and ultimately crash land into a tree. "Standing" there before the mishap is a cute blonde girl with twintails. Believe it or not, this petite girl turns out to be the famed Sir Isaac Newton! Unfortunately, through Syuji's foolish conduct, the great scientific discoveries of the past have now been altered. The two must find a way to correct this and get back to their own time.
The game is fully voiced in Japanese and will have English subtitles. The localization will also have a toggling system for honorifics.
