Modern Fantasy ADV 'Iris Odyssey: Hephaistos's ring' to Exhibit at BitSummit Japan 2026 Ahead of Launch

Frontier Works Inc. has announced that Easnid LLC's new full-voice modern fantasy adventure (ADV) 'Iris Odyssey: Hephaistos's ring' will be featured at BitSummit Japan 2026, held from May 22 to 24 at Miyako Messe in Kyoto. Frontier Works is supporting the promotion through its game brand 'FW Games.'

With the Steam release scheduled for Friday, May 29, 2026, the exhibition offers a chance to play the latest build just before launch. Visitors to booth 1F-B21 who add the game to their Steam wishlist will receive an original postcard.

The story is set in modern Shibuya. It depicts the encounter between Fuuka, an orphan girl searching for her family, and Iris, a skilled mage pursuing a criminal magic organization. The game features full voice acting for its four main characters, featuring professional VAs such as Konomi Kohara (Iris) and Konomi Inagaki (Fuuka), which is an exceptional scale for an indie title.

Notably, the game adopts a 'Free-to-Play + Complete Package DLC' model. Players can enjoy over two hours of gameplay from the prologue to the middle of the story for free. Purchasing the 'Complete Package' DLC (¥2,980 tax incl.) unlocks the full experience.

To celebrate the launch, a 14-day 10% OFF sale will be held for the DLC from May 29. Additionally, an original ASMR drama titled 'I will responsibly take care of your ears,' featuring the heroine Fuuka, will launch on DLsite on the same day. An interview article featuring developers from 'Aquarium Does Not Dance' and 'Iris Odyssey' is also available on Animate Times.
