From Press Release:
Tokyo, Japan – May 18th, 2026 – Shueisha Games is excited to announce that the heartfelt narrative adventure Schrödinger’s Call will launch on May 28th, 2026 for Nintendo Switch and PC via Steam. To celebrate, the publisher has revealed the game’s Chapter 1 preview trailer and confirmed that fans attending BitSummit PUNCH later this month will be able to experience an exclusive playable build of Chapter 3 for the very first time
Developed by Acrobatic Chirimenjako, Schrödinger’s Call is an emotional visual novel adventure that unfolds like an illustrated storybook, exploring grief, connection and the hope of being heard. Set in the final 21 nanoseconds before a moon crashes into Earth and ends all life, players follow Mary, a girl who awakens in a strange room with no memory of who she is or how she arrived there. Guided by a mysterious cat named Hamlet, Mary becomes the world’s final listener, answering calls from strangers caught between life and death through an old telephone.
Each call reveals personal stories of love, pain, solace and words left unsaid, while players slowly uncover the truth behind Mary herself. With theatrical presentation, intimate storytelling, and warm, picture book-inspired visuals, Schrödinger’s Call is a reflective experience about the pain and salvation of human connection, where every voice, memory, and regret carries weight in the final moments before the end.
A free Chapter 1 demo of Schrödinger’s Call is now available on Steam. The Nintendo Switch store page is now live, allowing Nintendo Switch players to add the game to their Wishlist ahead of the launch on May 28th.
The Japanese version of the newly revealed Schrödinger’s Call Chapter 1 preview trailer also features special promotional voice performances from acclaimed voice actors Kana Ichinose (Violet Evergarden, Demon Slayer) as Mary and Rei Sakuma (Dragon Ball Z, Sailor Moon) as Hamlet, bringing the game’s central duo vividly to life for fans ahead of the launch. These voice performances are exclusive to promotional materials and not included in the game itself. Additional chapter trailers will be released on an ongoing basis – stay tuned to Shueisha Games’ official channels for updates.
Schrödinger’s Call will also have a major presence at BitSummit PUNCH from May 22nd – 24th in Kyoto, Japan. Visitors to the Shueisha Games booth (3F-A05) will be able to play an exclusive version of Chapter 3 ahead of launch, offering fans a first look at the later section of the story. Players planning on visiting are encouraged to first experience Chapter 1 through the Steam demo available now. The booth will also feature a special live performance starring Kana Ichinose and Rei Sakuma as Mary and Hamlet in a unique comedic exchange exclusively for attendees.
