NekoMiko developer Qureate announced Prison Princess earlier today, a game that they're called a “new sensation escape adventure game with beautiful girls, puzzle solving, and a bit of eroticism.” We originally posted about the game's launch date (January 30, 2020 in Japan for 1,800 yen), but now we have details on what the game is actually about. Check out the info round-up below.

Characters

Arisa (voiced by Mao Amatsuka) – Princess of the Aria Lara Kingdom. Since she led a sheltered life growing up, she has seen little in the ways of the world. Although mild-mannered, she has a passionate desire for world peace. And while spontaneous, she is intelligent and well-versed in magic. Occasionally, she surprises those around her with her sound and to-the-point statements.

Zena (voiced by Fumiko Uchimura) – Princess of the Zanji Tzard Kingdom. She is a typical tsundere with a big ego and inability to be straight with people. Since she is fears no one and never holds back, she tends to be abusive towards and quip at the hero. Her ability with a sword is first-class.
