Back in June 2005 we reported the announcement for the PS2 version of Utawareru Mono, one of Aquaplus' most unique RPGs. But news of the project has been pretty quiet til now. The official site is finally up, with not much other than a nice story section and the confirmation of the excellent (Brandon's opinion) Flight Plan as the co-developer. Don't expect it to be released before this summer.

<Brandon's notes:> The Story section should give you an idea of why we're so obsessed with whatever Aquaplus does - they're also responsible for the To Heart series that's inspired so much excellent doujin work. Though you'll only hear music and see a few static images, there's a decidedly timeless oldschool flavor which you'll no doubt pick up on. As a side note, utawareru mono loosely means 'an object of admiration'.
