The fifth of the Princess Maker games by Studio Gainax.
Unlike all the rest, this one takes place in modern Japan, albeit a Japan in a world where there are demons and fairies.
Also in other series firsts, the player is not automatically a father. If they so choose, they can be a mother. Lastly, this daughter has no Canon Name.
First released in Japan, in 2007, and Playstation 2 and Playstation Portable in 2008. An English release occurred on Steam translated by CFK Co., Ltd. in 2018.
