At PAX West 2026, Nippon Ichi Software unveiled The Grimm Reapress and the Drearytale Monster, a hand-drawn storybook adventure rooted in the oldest of human fears — illness, abandonment, and the desperate love between siblings. The studio, long known for crafting worlds where narrative and landscape are one, now turns its attention to a girl named Mono who ventures into a quarantine of transformed souls to reclaim the only person who ever saw her. It is a story about what we risk when love is the only thing we have left to lose.
