Overview:

Kamikaze Lassplanes is a genre-busting action visual novel from Inky Dreams, a small indie studio from Poland dedicated to creating projects that break the mold. The game is a mix of hand-drawn anime VN and story-driven arcade shoot-'em-up gameplay with crucial story-branching decisions that lead to different gameplay and story outcomes, both for war, romance, and the protagonists’ fate.

Meet and fall for Alba Trossé and Hannah Brandenburg - charismatic Lassplanes who transform into deadly war planes you pilot. Face the Imperial fleet together in challenging arcade shoot-'em-up encounters and discover the secret behind the mysterious “Light” technology developed in the Kingdom’s laboratories.

Behind the silly facade, Kamikaze Lassplanes is an engaging, dark story about exploring humanity in a world where every rose has its thorn, and every tool can become a weapon. When nothing is as it seems, your beliefs are shattered as you uncover the truth—and perhaps you’ll pay the ultimate price for it.

The title has already received a warm welcome from players on PC and stole the hearts of attendees of GDC 2024 in San Francisco.
