Xenotoun Co., Ltd. (Shibuya-ku, Tokyo, CEO, Koichi Kawase) will launch a new brand of short animation and games “Anibit”. In addition to animation as video content, the emotional expressions, storytelling, and directing powers that are unique to anime have been expanded into the interactive field of games. We aim to create new anime experiences that are not just watching.

The fateful encounter is at the end of the run! ? “Pixel Dash: Toast of Destiny” Story

The main character, Haruka Run, is an ordinary high school girl who longs for a fateful encounter.
Her mornings are always the same—with a loaf of bread in her mouth, a fierce dash!
And today is the long-awaited day of the school trip.
“Maybe, you may have met your destined person while traveling…?”
That moment when I had such a faint hope in my heart…
“I’m not good! I’m late!”
With a loaf of bread in my mouth, the run starts running again today!

<Characteristics of the game>

・Exhilarating orchid action with simple operation!

Timing is the key while it is easy to operate jump and dash.
The speed and good tempo are addictive!

・The story unfolding in the anime

This game is not just an action game.
The story progresses with animations that are inserted everywhere, and the daily life of Ran is drawn.
Is it a destined person, or is it…?
All the truth is beyond your run–

・Various items and obstacles

Stamina management by skillfully using items that help run!
Avoid obstacles such as barricades, clouds, and dogs by jumping brilliantly.

・Backgrounds and mechanisms that change for each stage

Even the familiar school road, Kyoto, a school trip destination, and even a date spot with a beautiful night view!
Each area is full of gimmicks and traps.

■ What is “Anibit”?

Until now, TV and distribution have been the mainstream of “means of viewing anime”, but in recent years, short animations that can be easily viewed on smartphones have gained popularity on SNS, and the opportunities to enjoy anime more easily have increased. In “Anibit”, we aim to expand the fun of experiencing anime not only on distribution platforms and SNS, but also on the platform of “games” as a new medium for enjoying short animations.
In addition to consumer games and social games in the game industry, the indie game market centered on Steam is booming. Among indie games, there are many casual games with a total play time of about 1 hour, and it is attracting attention as a game that can be easily enjoyed like a short animation.
By developing in the interactive area of games instead of short animations that are consumed in an instant on social media with the concept of “a little bit of animation”, we aim to create opportunities to watch anime and create new IPs through short animations.
