We sincerely thank you for your continual support of our company's products.
The following is a notice regarding the system requirements for our PC game software (Windows version).

On October 14th, 2025 (JST), Microsoft will be ending support for the Windows 10 operating system.

Should you continue to use Windows 10, you will still be able to play our games for some time after support has ended.
