Seedsow Lullaby: Time-Bending Visual Novel Debuts

• Seedsow Lullaby is a time-bending visual novel where high schooler Misuzu partners with an unexpected duo: her mother, as a teenager, and her own future daughter.
• Together, the trio journeys through a mythical realm to complete the Seedsow Ceremony and catalyze the rebirth of the gods.
• This emotional adventure explores the ties that bind across generations.

Visual novels are surprisingly scarce on mobile, with notable exceptions like the Methods series. Whether due to a genre bias among western gamers or publishers' focus on PC, these story-rich games rarely get mobile ports. That's why Seedsow Lullaby stands out—it's launching for iOS and Android on May 1st.

At first glance, Seedsow Lullaby is puzzling. It's marketed as a visual novel with no choices or branching paths. You might ask, "Isn't that the essence of the genre?" In a way, yes. But the game's compelling narrative might just redefine expectations.

In the story, Misuzu lost her mother when she was young. On her sixteenth birthday, she's approached by a girl who claims to be her mother—also sixteen. Misuzu learns she must perform the Seedsow Ceremony to revive the gods. To succeed, she'll even need help from her own daughter, brought from the future.

Time travel is nothing new in visual novels. Steins;Gate, a genre classic, famously explores alternate timelines and branching storylines. Seedsow Lullaby, however, takes a more linear approach to time travel.

While some players might miss having choices, the game's deep themes—life, death, and destiny—promise a captivating story. Keep an eye out for Seedsow Lullaby's global release soon.
