Evaluation

Maitetsu is a visual novel that launched on June 29, 2018. The only developer communication after launch was a minor bug-fix patch on August 1, 2018, which addressed memory leaks and a few missing lines of text — routine maintenance for a newly shipped title. There are no DLC listings, no announced expansions, no roadmaps, and no developer statements indicating future content. The store description presents this as a complete, self-contained story with no language suggesting ongoing updates or additional content planned. With no post-launch content cycle ever established and no outstanding commitments from the developer, the game launched and was complete as shipped.

About this game


After hearing that an industrial factory is to possibly be built along a landmark river in his hometown of Ohitoyo, Migita Sotetsu returns home to change the minds of those in charge of the factory proposal. Although half of the town's citizens support the building of such a mill, the other half fear the potential for pollution and contamination of their beloved river. Recognizing Ohitoyo's budgetary decline over the last few decades, Sotetsu believes that the town requires a system that allows it to be fiscally independent instead of reliant upon a factory to stimulate its economy, and sets out to identify an alternative method in achieving this goal. It's during this time that Sotetsu comes across an android-like being--a "Raillord" named Hachiroku--while looking through his late adoptive father's belongings. Although inanimate, Hachiroku and Sotetsu forge a deep, unlikely connection, and from this bond, work together in hopes of restoring Ohitoyo to its former glory.
