Thank you for your continued support of Tokyo Afterschool Summoners.
Starting at the end of 2016, this title will finally reach its 8th anniversary milestone in December 2024.
This project began with a simple wish: "We wanted entertainment content like this when we were kids".
A content where ‘any character can love any other character,’ ‘players can naturally role-play their own choices within the game,’ and ‘it offers the widest range of character traits in the world, including gender identity, species, body type, and more.’ A content where you can share discussions like, ‘Will there be a new character like this one? Will my favorite characters make an appearance?’
And above all, a content that continues to walk alongside its users, growing and evolving together over time.
With the goal of realizing such a vision, we’ve come this far thanks to the warm support and assistance of many users and creators. On behalf of all our development, management, and operations staff, we would like to take this opportunity to express our deepest gratitude.
Starting in its 8th year, HOUSAMO will bring you the climactic Chapter 16 of the long-awaited second part of the main story!
As a symbol of this milestone, we’re featuring ‘Kyoma Mononobe,’ the protagonist’s homeroom teacher who has appeared since the game’s first year of operation. Alongside him, we will introduce the prodigies deeply tied to him, including the executor of ‘Plan C,’ the third of these geniuses.
Appearing in the prologue of Chapter 16 and taking a significant role in the story are the duo of a young girl and a giant robot, ‘Curren & MS-C1.’ To commemorate this 8th anniversary, they will debut as playable characters!
With the Guild New Member system that we’ve built so far, and the new systems we plan to implement, we would be delighted if you could welcome these characters into your world and enjoy playing with them. We will continue to aim for content that allows for unique possibilities and relationships between characters—something that cannot be found in other games. Additionally, even after the final release of Chapter 16, we will continue operating HOUSAMO into 2025. Please stay tuned for further updates
As we enter the 9th year, we hope to continue expanding and evolving the world of HOUSAMO together with all of you, enjoying this journey side by side. Thank you for your continued support of Tokyo Afterschool Summoners.
■ Main Chapter 16 Prologue: ‘生存圏外’ Released
The prologue scenario of Chapter 16 will be implemented as part of the 8th Anniversary Campaign.
This story begins with a certain individual rescued at the end of Chapter 15, revealing the origins of Tokyo’s ‘Game.’
Why was this survival game between myths initiated?
Why does Tokyo in this world have to be surrounded by ‘walls’?
The core of the grand narrative that has unfolded since the launch of Tokyo Afterschool Summoners will finally come into view for the protagonists.
The release of Main Quest Chapter 16 is targeted for the first half of 2025
