SINoALICE[a] is a role-playing video game developed by Pokelabo for Android and iOS.[1] The game is directed by Yoko Taro, better known for his work in the NieR and Drakengard series. The game was released in Japan by Square Enix in June 2017, and worldwide by Pokelabo in July 2020.[2][3][4]

Plot[]

In a world called Library filled with countless stories, the Characters within each story wish to revive their author for their desired future. To do so, they work together to gather inochi and fight the Nightmares that devour stories, knowing they will inevitably have to kill each other to get their wish.

Development[]

The game was originally supposed to be published by Nexon outside of Japan but was delayed indefinitely due to localisation reasons.[5] The game's publishing was then handed over to Pokelabo.[6] The game's soundtrack was scored by Keiichi Okabe, Keigo Hoashi, and Shotaro Seo.[7]

Reception[]

The game received a "mixed or average" rating according to review aggregator Metacritic.[8]

Manga adaptation[]

A manga adaptation, illustrated by himiko, started serialization on the MangaUp! service in 2019. In July 2021, Square Enix announced they licensed the manga for English publication.[9]
